A New Beginning

Hi everyone,

I want to start by expressing my deepest gratitude to all of you who have supported my novel so far. It means so much to me that you took the time to read, comment, and add the story to your collection. However, I also owe you all an apology for the sudden halt in updates. I know it was disappointing, and for that, I'm truly sorry.

The past few years have been a whirlwind of major life changes for me—graduating, searching for jobs, advancing my career, juggling multiple roles, saving enough to move to a new country, and pursuing my master's degree. All of these transitions left me with little time to focus on writing, but throughout it all, this story and the world I've built have never left my mind.

Now that life has settled down a bit, I'm excited to share that I'm coming back to writing with fresh energy and a new vision. After years of reflection, my thoughts and plans for the story have evolved significantly. Rather than picking up where I left off, I've decided to completely rewrite the story. I understand this might be frustrating for some of you, and I truly appreciate your patience.

The new story will feature different characters, a fresh direction, and a deeper exploration of the world. I want to take my time crafting something meaningful—something that evolves with each chapter. The pacing will be slower, allowing me to carefully develop the characters, their arcs, and the world in greater depth. While the first few chapters might feel a bit slow or even boring at times, I promise that the story will improve and become more engaging as we progress. With your reviews and suggestions, I'll do my best to make the experience richer and more compelling with each step forward.

The rewritten story is titled The Reluctant Ascendant, and you can find it here:

Initially, I plan to release 4-5 chapters per week, and as I get into a steady rhythm, I aim to increase that to 7-8 chapters or more. I know this will be a journey, but I'm committed to making it worth your time. Your thoughts, feedback, and suggestions will be invaluable to me as I continue to shape the story. Please don't hesitate to share your ideas—I want us to build this world together.

Once again, thank you so much for your understanding and support. I hope you'll give The Reluctant Ascendant a chance, and I can't wait to hear what you think!

Best Regards,

Opolo
