I can’t believe how many announcements I make that start with “Thank You for Reading!” I have, but I guess that just goes to show how grateful I am to all of you.

This series has gotten almost eight thousand total views across Royal Road and Scribble Hub, between the Stars of Arcadia main series and the professionally edited version, Stars of Arcadia: DELTA.

To show my appreciation, I left a special drawing at the end of this chapter. I’m spoiling it now in case any readers are uncomfortable with suggestive content: the drawing is based on the mirror/scar scene from the epilogue chapter, “Confession.”

So, slight NSFW warning (No Nudity).

I’m so happy to have had all of you on this journey with me, but anyway, I will be going on Hiatus from uploading new chapters, so it’s time to give you all the coming updates over the course of the next few months:

• I’m going to be migrating the Stars of Arcadia: DELTA chapters over to the main series, replacing the original, so that newcomers won’t have to go over there to read the higher quality chapters. But don’t worry, the original chapters will all be available for free to download or read on my Patreon.

• I’ll also be slowly updating the Emergency Operation chapters as I prep them for my editor. So you’ll still be getting the unedited version, just with a more consistent story structure. (I have to fix the plot hole I left behind when I decided Tama and Kanna used to know each other. ) But of course the original version will also be available on my Patreon.

• I’m also going to rewrite the Heartbeat Festival Special. Originally, it was supposed to be just a fun non-canon adventure for the featured characters, but now I’ve decided all specials will be canon, and this special will take place after the Emergency Operation Arc.

• Another special will be coming too. It will be called the Silver Showcase Special, featuring Yoko Hisame, and some new characters that will be in Volume Two’s Lullaby Arc.

That’s it for what to expect while I’m gone. Next, I want to personally thank everyone who has left comments on my chapters. I really love reading and responding to comments, so I’m very thankful to everyone here!

From Scribble Hub: Thank you, Jeyebhuito and Phoenix765.

From Royal Road: Thank you, SpacePi and GreenCatto8008

But my biggest thanks has got to go to IncagnitoAlbatross.

You’ve actually left a LOT of comments, and I loved every single one of them. We’ve exchanged replies and I even hopped over to read one of your stories and I feel like I’ve made a real friendship. Keep up the amazing work and I can’t wait to read more from you. (Hopefully, you’ll still wait for me to update the Emergency Operation Arc, because I know how much you like making theories. (Sorry for spoiling the fact that Tama and Kanna used to know each other.))

And thanks to my editor, Brett Micheal Orr. Your advice and suggestions have done a lot of the heavy lifting in shaping the future of this series. Without you, I don’t think I would have found an editor as in line with my vision as you are.

I really appreciate everything you’ve done; you have no idea how grateful I am.

Lastly, I want to say that I have big plans for this series.

I want this to be more than just a webnovel. I want it to become a full-fledged light novel, to be sold in stores, to be talked about, and for so much more that I might start sounding delusional if I keep going.

Hopefully, I’ll have your support as I see this through to the end.

But without further ado… (I know some of you skipped to this part), my thanks:
