Ten Free Chapters, and Thanks for Your Support! (Please Vote with Monthly Tickets!)

Important things first.

Ten chapters will drop on the 15th—at midnight tonight, to be exact. Please vote with your monthly tickets!

There will be ten chapters in all. As usual, eight will go up at midnight, and the remaining two around six the following evening. That way, I'll still have an update around six every day.

Also, to thank you all for supporting me along the way, all ten chapters will be free!

So... please send some monthly tickets my way! I'm begging you!

Even though I'm posting ten chapters, free chapters count as no update for that day. It'll register as a missed day and hurt my algorithmic recommendations.

But this is the only way I can think of right now to thank you all for your support.

Actions speak louder than words. Anything more I say would feel hollow.

One more thing: nothing about the earlier plot has changed. Most of the edits were to descriptions, along with a few little bugs that were easy to miss while serializing.

So there's no need to reread it.

I've been editing the book nonstop lately. It feels even worse than writing two books at once, because I start getting confused and forgetting the order of events.

That's taken a lot out of me, so the number of updates and the pace of the story have inevitably suffered.

Now the edits are finished and I'm finally free. I can put all my energy into the story and the good stuff again.

Thank you to everyone who's subscribed along the way, especially those of you who've kept up with every chapter. You've kept me motivated.

After the book dropped off the rankings, the number of readers keeping up with each chapter fell so badly I nearly lost my nerve.

Your continued support
