Hey guys! First I'd like to say that I'm sorry for going radio silent for this long... jesus it's been 4 months now...
The past months have been weird, to say the least. For that first month or so that I was gone, life got in the way of writing. The rest of the time was more of a motivation problem.
I've only gotten back to writing fairly recently, but that's actually for the story that I put in the author's note on the last chapter. Though I have thought of changing the title to something else, the blurb will remain the same since the first few books will definitely be about his journey to getting revenge.
here's the blurb for context:
...
In a world where only the Gods are immortal, Elias is the exception.
Elias was just a normal child that longed to be a sculptor like his father. Then came awakening day...
|You have awakened the trait [True Immortality]|
Ever since then, everything changed... somewhat. His trait didn't really affect his life much and he lived normally for years, until that day came. The day that changed his life even more than becoming immortal ever did.
Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings.
His town, his friends, his parents, his lover, his whole world, everything and everyone he ever knew or could have ever known, died suddenly to a seemingly random, world-ending calamity. At least that's what a third party would see. But he saw what happened, and it wasn't random.
They thought that they left no witnesses, that they cleanly nipped a future problem in the bud. They were wrong. And Elias will make them pay.
...
Anyway, back to the matter at hand. What will happen to this book you may ask? Well, to be honest, I still really like the concept and it holds a very special place in my heart. So I won't abandon the story. BUT, I will be giving it an overhaul.
Earlier this month I read through all of it and honestly, it could be so much better hahaha. As some of you may know, this story was written during the writathon back in April, and that kinda fucked me. This whole thing is basically one big draft. Little to no editing, there were even missing words here and there hahaha. All in all it was just lacking. And that left me wanting to MAKE it better.
I will be writing this book whenever I have free time so it might be slow. My estimate would be that I'd release a new version some time in second quarter next year. AFTER writathon of course. I've learned my lesson hahaha. But in that time, with the 86k words already written, I do expect that I can at least get it to 150k words by that time. I'd have a decent backlog, something I lacked in my previous launch. All around it would be much better and have a much more consistent release schedule.
TLDR: sorry for radio silence. writing new story about the immortal dude right now. will overhaul this one and release probably around 2nd quarter next year.
Oh and feel free to comment or dm me about any questions you may have! If you want to be spoiled for the supposec ending of book 1, just ask in the dms. It's the least I could do.
have subbed to my patreon (even the free tier guys), thank you so much and know that I'll remember you! <3
(Yes I will probably give you guys a little something something)
