Title for Volume 4. Breach Considerations. (Patreon)

Greetings, dear readers,

First off, a huge thank you for all your feedback and encouraging comments yesterday. You guys are amazing, and it truly means a lot to have such a supportive community to share these stories with.

(Clears throat before things get too emotional…)

Now, I’d love to tap into the group’s collective wisdom once again.

Each of my books averages around 55–56 chapters. I’m already at chapter 50 of Volume 3, but there’s still so much of the Breach I want to explore. Jack is just getting started with brewing and butchering, and there's plenty of room for his beekeeping and bard skills to grow. There are a lot of interesting synergies between his current professions that I want to dive into before adding two new ones to the mix.

This brings me to an important decision: I’m considering wrapping up Volume 3 with a couple of surprises leading up to Wave 20, then continuing the Breach arc in Volume 4.

That means—for at least most of Book 4—Jack probably won’t be picking up two new minor professions! Instead, the focus will be on refining and expanding the skills he already has.

With that in mind, I’ve lined up a few title ideas for Book 4. They tie directly into skills that fall under Jack’s current professions, which feels fitting since this volume will continue the Breach arc while delving deeper into his existing abilities.

So, I’d love your thoughts:

• How do you feel about splitting the Breach arc across two volumes?

• Do you like any of the title options in the poll?

Let me know what you think in the comments—I’d love to hear your take!
