Update! (Patreon)

Hey there, I thought I'd give you guys an update. Yes, I am still alive! Let me explain. The reason the current chapter is dragging so much is twofold:

First, I had a ton of extra work this week and couldn't spend as much time writing as I would have liked.

Second, and much more importantly, I've struggled to write the last few chapters while trying to tie up all the loose ends. I've made a few spur-of-the-moment changes to the plot while writing this volume, and now I am trying to figure out a way to tie it all together. For example, the fight against Jaihar wasn't supposed to be the book's finale and I had originally planned for his family to still be alive at this point.

Therefore, I've been trying to make the fight as epic as possible, but I've been struggling. As it turns out, it is kind of hard to write a compelling fight scene with an MC strapped to his mount and unable to see (due to the wind pressure).

Over the last few days, I've discarded several (around four) versions of the fight. I feel like I've been writing more than ever, but my efforts unfortunately didn't result in an equivalent amount of chapters ;__;

Despite everything, I hope you'll appreciate how the chapter will eventually turn out and I'm truly sorry for the delay.
