Update

Hello everyone! I'm really sorry it has taken this long to update you. I know some of you may be rightly upset, and I hope this post will alleviate some concerns.

In the last months, I have been struggling very badly with mental health stuff, and the longer it went on, the harder and harder it writing got. Just thinking about it made me stressed and anxious. Eventually, Patreon and Royal Road were almost at the same point, and I couldn't get myself over the building anxiety of letting everybody down.

At the end of October up to December, I had also been taking some new meds that weren’t really helping me. I was unable to function till I changed them. And the deeper the hole I dug, the more impossible felt to climb out. After changing meds, I started to see some progress in my mental health, and I was finally able to write a reasonable amount.

I've been taking my time to build back up to writing more, and have started releasing chapters on Patreon again. Once Patreon is back where it is supposed to be, I'll start publishing chapters for you all too. While I have drafted a schedule for myself, I don’t want to set a fixed date in case my plans are too optimistic. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

I hope having an update about what is going on is helpful. I am really sorry I disappeared. I wanted to get out of the hole I dug for myself before giving an update, and eventually, it had been so long that even writing the update seemed too daunting. Now I’m finally crawling out of the ditch and can see a peep of light at the end of the tunnel.

Thank y’all so much for your support. And while I know this has not been everyone's favorite arc, I think the ending will make it worth it. I'm very excited about the upcoming arc in book 5 (many of you have already guessed what it’ll be about). A lot of things are going to come together even though it took me a roundabout way to make it there.

Thank you so much for your patience, support, and understanding
