Hi folks, just a quick update.


    I''ve been far more unwell than I initially thought. Long story short, what started as a severe backache turned into issues with my liver and type 2 diabetes. I’m still undergoing treatment, but today is the first day in a while where I’ve felt... good. Great, even.


    This week, I plan to re-read all the chapters with the aim of resuming publication at the beginning of December.


    Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.


    On reflection, I feel that healing or some sort of life-giving magic or ability is severely underrated in this genre. If your health was represented by a pool of 100 points, being just 10 points off can make you 50% less productive or cognitively capable, while also draining a lot of motivation and willpower away from other things. This is probably why I tend to include such abilities in the protagonists I write, as I truly believe good health is the foundation for growth. But I digress.


    Thanks so much for all the recent reviews and to the new readers. I can’t wait to get back to continuing Ori’s journey.
