This novel is undergoing heavy editing. Yes, heavy editing. Not light editing, not casual touch-ups, not a simple grammar check—HEAVY editing. This means entire scenes are being rewritten, characters are being developed further, plot points are shifting, and nothing is set in stone. Every paragraph, every sentence, every word is being scrutinized, revised, and sometimes mercilessly deleted in the pursuit of improvement.
If you read something now and think, Hmm, that could be better, rest assured—it is being worked on. If a character seems inconsistent, if the pacing feels off, if the dialogue sounds unnatural—don't worry. That's exactly why this novel is undergoing heavy editing. The process is long, thorough, and sometimes brutal, but it's all for the sake of refining the story into its best possible form.
