Update + whats next?

Thank you so much for the support through writing the first Qing's Quest trilogy.

My apologies for the lack of activity and value here over the last three weeks, and for sending this too late:

I was trying to finish the draft of a new novel (Shadow Sage), and wasn't quite sure how to deal with it, about posting here, or not. Plan was to finish it quick and then move onto the next LitRPG story here.

The reason why I didn't post is that it is a litrpg story with harem elements, so I planned to offer it to you for free as a bonus, just to those who wanted it, because I know haremlit is not everyone's cup of tea.

My plan is to publish it under a different pen name, so it isn't recommended to other readers who don't like this type of story.

Here is an early blurb:

---

You can do a lot of good when you’re not afraid of getting your hands dirty.

Kaelus Vex, the shadow sage, is working to free the world from the evil rulers sacrificing innocents to extend their life. But he has a problem. His mastery of forbidden Shadow Magic and brilliant mind is not enough, and he can't unlock new spells, despite centuries of trying.

But everything changes when he discovers an unexpected source of power - through deep, genuine connections with extraordinary women. Lyra, the cunning thief who rules Whisperwind's shadows. Vera, the ambitious merchant with dreams bigger than her coffers. Celestia, the mysterious elven noble hiding explosive secrets.

Now, in a city where whispers carry secrets on the wind, Kaelus must outmaneuver a corrupt mayor, build his power base, and prepare for war against immortal rulers who've already defeated him once. All while discovering that his growing feelings for these remarkable women might be his greatest strength - or his fatal weakness.

Shadow Sage is a pulse-pounding fantasy filled with forbidden magic, strategic manipulation, and the birth of an empire. Perfect for readers who love watching a brilliant antihero turn seemingly insurmountable odds to his advantage.

ACTION ITEM: If you would like to read the book, please let me know and I will email you the entire first draft! 

So what's happening with Henrik Saetre and LitRPG? 

I am close to starting the next novel, which will be posted here, having narrowed it down to two choices.

The first is a viking themed isekai with tattoos as powers.

The second is a potential co-writing project with one of the larger names in LitRPG, and would be a medieval fantasy adventure LitRPG with focus on dungeons.

This Sunday I'll sit down and make a decision on which way to go, and then update you all. If it is the co-written one, I've got his approval to post it here as we write it, so you'd get it running.

Either way, I am putting pen to paper on the next story this coming week.

Thank you again for all your support, and I wish you a wonderful weekend!
