Hello!
To start, I want to thank everyone for reading this novel.
It has been a passion and a dream of mine to make novels, manga, and all things art-related for a long time now!
And as problems continuously stopped me from writing, after a year-long wait, I have come back!
I want to finish this story and move on to others that have just as much emotion and storytelling as ASTL has.
Truthfully, the reason why ASTL went on a hiatus in the first place wasn't because problems arose or I had art block; instead, it was because I felt like the story was complete shi*t. I felt like my power systems weren't original and were very complex, adding to the confusion. I knowingly left out important parts of the novel because the reason why I created this novel in the first place was to just have a layout for it to become a manga, my thought was even though mistakes were visible, the vision of the story wouldn't be corrupted. But in the end it was.
I was held back because of this idea, and hated how I ignored obvious editing and grammar mistakes, potholes and my weird mechanical way of writing. I felt like my writing was sloppy, and insider comments about it further discouraged me from writing.
I consider my novel(s) (those to come in the future) as grand, masterpiece artworks in the making, and I just couldn't uphold my idea of a masterpiece with all this mumbo jumbo in my head.
But now... even though ASTL has been inactive, I have been working in the background to edit and revise the novel.
And today, I would like to announce the revised and (currently edited-ing) version of ASTL.
In this version, I have (hopefully) fixed most of the grammar and mechanical errors in this novel. Have added (and am adding) a ton more content to, and am ready to slowly producing novel chapters one by one.
I can't promise weekly chapters lol, we all know how bad that turned out!
But I can promise at least one chapter per month.
"As time flies, we may never forget those who have hurt us, but at least we can always prove them wrong!"
To a new era of ASTL!
Happy 2 years! 🎉 🎉 🎉
Sincerely,
Your_Nawa
