Hey guys and girls!So, got a bit more feedback on the last four chapters than I usually get, and after reading some of the chapters again, I see where its coming from. I've descided to change some things around for this, and that will cost time. So, I'll be editing some chapters today and tomorrow, meaning there will probably be no new chapters over the rest of the weekend. I'll probably be able to salvage most of today's chapter and post it Monday or Tuesday.For those who don't read the comments- I'll be changing the following.Chapter 399 and 400 are where Irwin is talking about potentially skipping three hand cards to fix the Su's father, the rune creator's hands followed by the Concerto chapter. I'll be splitting those two up in three chapters and adding a section to wrap up the 'broken hands' part. At the same time, I'll probably wrap up the section with Basil, so its not left hanging.Chapter 401 and 402 will also be split up into three, as I'll be adding some requested scenes where Irwin and the others come to those harbors with the dead people. Potentially from the POV from one of those being saved. I'll also be changing the reasoning for why and how Irwin is reforging his cards. I've already got an idea on how to do that differently.Anyway, if you have any feedback on these four chapters, now would be the time to let me know. It will take a significant chunk of time. EDIT: there's another post above this one with more info!

Not going to lie I'm disappointed cuz I was really looking forward to more chapters this is definitely my favorite story so it's killing me on the inside but I understand.. 😭

Gotta agree with my friend here, I kinda wished for an extra chapter too.

Right your story for you. Not for them. Do these changes that people are pitching about actually progress your story in the way that you want it to or do they drag it out? One thing that I've grown to understand is that there are always going to be people that will bitch and moan and you won't ever be able to please everyone. If you feel that those extra stops aren't necessary to the story and are only going to draw things out you don't need to expand on it. At the end of the day, you should write for you. Write your story the way you want to. Unapologetically write your story the way you want it to be. Remember, the chapters you post on here should be your rough drafts. They don't have to be what is getting published. They dont have to be perfect. They can be just a stream of consciousness. Fixing all of that is what editing time is for. You should know the saying about opinions and assholes. This is just my opinion. You be you, for you.

Thanks, and don't worry! I always read opinions and then check if I feel they are right for my story. In this case, its more of a ordering issue. A couple of story lines were left unwrapped were I could and should have ended part of them already - like with the rune smith. So, in this case, I'll be doing those changes because if I don't do them now, I'll be having issues with them later on. Instead of dragging things out, they will allow me to consolidate some things earlier, which will be a win for myself. It also gives me the chance to move a few parts around so they mesh better. Interesting that you mention stream of consciousness! Lots of people don't know that many writers write like that. I think many people that have writers block are trying to go against this stream. Usually when I'm writing, and things to sluggish, its because I'm trying to force something in that I know needs to be there, but doesn't fit neatly. Anyway, usually my stream, at least on the rough lines, is pretty much like I want it. That said, when its not, those are the things I do work on in between. This isn't the first, nor the last time I'll make some bigger changes halfway through a story arc. Thanks for sticking up for me btw, I do appreciate it!

I hear you. I will say this. When I ran up to the end of what had been posted on RR (this was before the end of book 1) I had to have more. So I dove into a Google search and found your Patreon. At the time I ignored all comments or links in the app for every story. Obviously, I subscribed. All that to say, I enjoy what you write and the way you write it. So, when I saw this post it made me think you were second guessing yourself. I saw the same thing with people who were content creators that quit because of comments. I didn't want that to be the case. I'm really glad it isn't.

So can the soul clone leave the soul world or is that what the special card is for? Also Irwin should should forge a dual shield and weapons card. With his talent it should be easy. Or a All weapons card that lets him summon any weapon. Also he had a metal type card and he should get a full suit of armor card. Full plate knight armor would look cool. He could sideways reforge that mail fist on fire card to a summons. Knight armor that is on fire. All hail the daemon lord! Lol

Thanks for the update! I appreciate the commitment to transparency and quality. Don't feel too pressured to increase the volume of content in the revision, as long as the narrative order and timing work, and the story threads flow into one another. A lot of questions that came up over the last few chapters are often "why" and not "how" - why is this story thread being followed up right now, why is a plague relevant to the journey home, why did this character make these decisions. It's ok to skip some details or sidequests for pacing if the broad strokes get us through, and said details/sidequests are not significant later. Hope the rest of your weekend goes smoothly.

Funny enough, there's another runesmith thread that I think was dropped - that one runesmith they yoinked from the mercenary or smith-kidnapper crew. I was sort of expecting this runesmith's arc to tie in there somehow, although it's probably too much of a timeline stretch to make for a good story arc.

Carrarn

Thanks! I'll get back to some of the things you pointed out in the chapter of yesterday, don't think I have forgotten :)

Carrarn

Really appreciate the kind words ! :)
