Update - 3/2/2025

Hey everyone,

First off, thank you all for your continued support! It truly means the world to me.

I wanted to give you a quick update on this weekend's writing. Unfortunately, I hit a bit of a snag. A comment from a troll (you know how it goes) managed to throw me off my rhythm a bit, and it took me a little longer than expected to get back into the flow. As a result, the last chapter I was working on won’t be quite ready for tonight, but I'm aiming to release it tomorrow morning, so please bear with me just a little longer!

To help make up for the slight delay, I'm planning a small surprise for you all this week! I'll be sharing with you all soon, so stay tuned. I hope it'll be something you'll enjoy as well as give a bit more insight into a group of scions at the Imperial Academy that you may not have thought a lot about yet.

Regarding the troll, I think the comments I received will be helpful long term, not that they will change my approaches to the story or how the plot is unfolding, but that I've now come up with a mental process to deal with similar comments as they (invariably) will come up.

Overall, I've been making great progress on the Klarion's journey! I can now confirm we're roughly 25 chapters away from the end of Book 1, and the next set of chapters will be particularly exciting with the progress Klarion makes toward (finally) unlocking his class. I'm so excited for you all to see it! With that being said, as we move toward the end of Book 1, you'll notice a shift in the storytelling. We'll be moving away from some of the slice-of-life content within the Imperial Academy and seeing Klarion venture beyond its walls to complete tasks that are crucial to unlocking his class. These short adventures will be a major part of the remaining chapters and will lead us directly to the grand finale of Book 1.

Thank you again for your patience and understanding. I appreciate your support more than you know!
