Hello everyone,

First of all, I would like to thank you for making it this far. It has undoubtedly been a long and difficult journey, but you have remained steadfast and consistent in reading this story that I have written with so much effort and passion. I truly appreciate your support, whether it's simply reading or writing messages to share your thoughts as you read.It is out of this same appreciation that I have for my story and my constant readers that I would like to share a few things with you and give you some insight into what is going on behind the novel.

I would like to begin by informing you that, as I have stated several times before, I fully intend to continue this story to the end. But I should also mention that I plan to make some big changes and I want to explain the reasons why.

First of all, I don't think I'll be releasing any more Valkyria Squadron chapters. At least not with this title or this section, I think I will stop working exclusively on releasing new content for quite some time.

So, why this drastic measure, you might ask. Well, it's because the actual plan, what I want to do, is a relaunch of my novel. Not to start from scratch (of course I don't want to write 280 chapters again), but I want to redo the beginning of my novel and try to correct those mistakes that have unfortunately haunted me again and again over time.

I want to create a much more understandable and direct beginning, making it simpler if I can. I also wanted to change the title of the novel to something more "modern and catchy", since titles that are not directly a synopsis, like Valkyria Squadron, no longer attract the modern audience as much as titles like ""That Time I Became a Fox Slime Girl", make a new cover. Finally, and most importantly, I want to completely eliminate the reviews and comments, erase everything, and make it as if they never happened in the first place.

Not because I hate you or your comments, on the contrary there are some that I love very much, I am happy every time I post something new to see that someone commented saying something that caught their attention or if they have a theory about where the story might go next.

But I also want to explain my side of the story with everything that happened and especially what is happening now.

The truth is that Valkyria Squadron never took off and readership has consistently declined. The large number of readers the novel has is mostly due to the sheer brute force of writing 280 chapters of a single story. Obviously, I don't expect everyone who starts reading the story to stay until the end, but the decline has been quite significant lately.

And the truth is, a big factor in why I think this is happening is that Valkyria Squadron is caught in a weird loop that I don't think it can get out of unless all the reviews are somehow reset.

Let me try to explain:

The problem I have is with the reviews. My novel has an average rating of 3.6 and dropping, which, based on the comments I've received, is turning off a lot of people, maybe too many. And that has been on Scribble Hub, in other places like Royal Road it is only a 2.5, a death sentence as no one reads anything under 4.5. And while I wouldn't normally pay much attention to that, it's supposed to be a rating from the readers themselves.

The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

The problem is that I've realized that my novel and its rating are currently in a weird loop that I don't think I can get out of unless I somehow reset the rating.

It all started in the first days of writing my novel, the illusion of being written, the initial adrenaline, the joy of knowing that there were people out there reading what was so personal to me. The problem is that English is not my first language, and the tools I was using were not the best, so those first chapters received very strong negative reviews, which I still agree with today, those chapters were a disaster, plus added to the already complicated plot of the novel made the first chapters look like a complete disaster.

Once again, I agreed with the criticism myself, so of course I tried to improve in that particular aspect. Time passed, I improved as a writer, I could organize my ideas and how to present each chapter better, the tools improved, I learned a lot more English and grammar. But I was always bothered by that rough start of my novel, so I worked tirelessly to improve those first chapters over time, during these three years that I have been writing the new chapters, I keep revising the first chapters to improve them a little more.

The real problem?

That the comments complaining about the grammar never stopped, and the negative reviews got even louder, indicating that the first few chapters were worthless garbage.

What happens is that the chapters they complain about no longer exist. New people are now reading what is essentially the 4.0 edition of the early chapters, and they are still complaining. They are still complaining about how horrible the first chapter of the whole story is, even though it is a completely different story now, even with different characters.

The only thing that has not changed over time has been the analysis of the novel and the comments of the chapters because I never deleted them. At the beginning they were more than deserved, but now after so much time and so many arrangements?

And I understood that new readers only saw the comments complaining about the grammar and they also started to complain about the grammar and how poorly written it is, without ever saying exactly what's wrong or how to fix it, they just "feel in the force" that something is wrong.

So I guess I'm stuck in that cycle right now. A new reader comes in, sees the novel with a low rating by Scribble Hub standards, maybe reads the synopsis and plans to read it. They see the reviews about the horrible grammar from people who never got past chapter 13 of 280. They read the revised 4.0 version of those chapters and then complain about the bad grammar too, leaving a negative rating because it's poorly written, not because of the story itself or sometehing else.

At first I was a conspiracy theorist. But recently I have received comments from new readers who have read a bit more and mentioned that they also believe that the comments and analyses they saw before reading it were much harsher than what actually happened, and that it put them off reading the novel in the first place because of the large amount of criticism it received from other people.

So that is a little bit of what is happening. There are also other personal reasons that I do not think it is necessary to mention as I seem to suffer from a special kind of curse to be ignored and that has haunted me all my life and work and my job.

Obviously a decision like this is quite radical and difficult. That's why I'm informing you all, to hear your opinions and see what can be done about it. I just want to be a little bit transparent with you and let you know what's going on.

Well, I guess that's it for now. I would love to hear your comments on this and give you more information later on.

Thank you all.
