Hello, everyone. We have multiple things potentially of interest this month:

Now: Throne of Time has launched.

June 18: I'm doing an AMA on r/fantasy.

June 23: Depthless Hunger 3 launches.

I will be here to do announcements for the major events, of course, but meanwhile this posted I wanted to highlight that my latest story is available on RR. This is my attempt to add something to the time loop and magic academy subgenres, and while as usual it's a bit different from my other projects, there's enough overlap that I think many of you may enjoy it.

Time travel is forbidden, but Suria didn't have a choice.

When she transfers to Darkmoon University, the greatest magical academy in the world, she accidentally stumbles into a complex conspiracy that threw students into a time loop. Someone decided it was worth risking the death sentence in order to attain the unparalleled advantages of time travel... but Suria was never supposed to be there. Her education will be nothing like she expected as she attempts to solve a conspiracy too layered to possibly be unraveled in a single loop.

What to expect:

- Time loop with significant variation.

- Magic academy setting with real focus on the academy.

- Gradual non-LitRPG progression.

- Detailed magic system with in-depth spell construction.

- Series-spanning mysteries.

- MC is intelligent, but will have to overcome other intelligent characters, not easily be the smartest character in the room.

- Zero romance.

- Chapters MWF, double-sized first chapter.

I plan on checking the story put since I have enjoyed several time loop stories and like your writing. I am very curious about your influences though, since I only know of a few really good time-loop stories. My favorite are definitely Mother of Learning and Years of the Apocalypse, and reading one, I think you can see some inspiration from other, though YotA focuses more on social problems than MoL. Warcrowned and The Menocht Loop both feature time loops at the start, but change quite a bit and continue a long time after the time loop, moving beyond it. What stories served as inspiration for you, and what do you plan to do differently?
