Hey folks, it's been a long time, hasn't it?
A lot of things have happened since this went on hiatus. I ended up getting very little progress on the rewrite done last semester, since I was taking one of the hardest classes my major has to offer (Computer science, and building a virtual machine from scratch. If you don't know what that is, I basically coded a computer from nothing. It was tough, but also a lot of fun) and ended up being swamped with work.
But after that I buckled down and really got to work, and I'm happy to say that we are in the end phases now! I've rewritten everything I wanted to do a deep rewrite of, spanning 31 chapters, 348 pages, and just over 90,000 words! What this means is that for the rest of the story, I just need to do a scan through and make sure the changes I made are reflected properly, and I don't anticipate that taking too long.
So, I'm happy to say that I anticipate completion in about two weeks! It's entirely possible that time frame will be off, since I haven't truly begun said scanning and don't know how long it'll take, but I'm guessing it'll be a month, tops, a week minimum.
When that finishes, I'm going to begin posting the rewrite here on Scribble Hub! I'm going to be doing one chapter per day for the aforementioned 31 "deeply" rewritten chapters, and then begin posting the others at...three to five a day, maybe more depending on how things are. I'm going to be using the time I'm posting the rewrite here on SH to get back up to 5 chapters ahead on Patreon, and my aim is to have the rewrite caught up here about the time Patreon is the proper amount ahead.
I'll post here again with a link to the new series when it begins posting, and when it's caught up and 'new' chapters are releasing, I'll post once more with a "what you need to know" post to get everyone caught up with the couple of changes I made that might be confusing to anyone who didn't read the rewrite.
And I guess I might as well plug this, but if you don't want to wait for those 31 chapters, you can read them all on Patreon for $1. I only have 28 or 29 on there at the time of writing, but in a few hours (when I post this week's chapter of The Outlands), I'm going to post the three chapters I finished yesterday.
So...I hope you all are looking forward to it, and, as always...thanks for reading.
I was wondering. I this popped up on the trending tab for me the other day, and it looked interesting. I was hoping it was still active but I've had authors promise a rewrite and then up and die (like, literally die) before it was done.
Good news on that front, I made this post roughly three days ago and, at the time of writing, was at ~chapter 31 in the rewrite.
The scan-through has been smoother than I thought, and I am at chapter 48ish right now. The rewrite is definitely dropping within a week or two!
@Fighterman481 Fantastic, keep up the good work. Few stories have held my interest long enough for me to binge through the whole thing like I did here.
Lilith's coming back, and Tess is still rocking things!
Hey, welcome back with this. What part of the plot have you reached with the rewrite? Up until where Lilith starts working on her dungeon? How much have things changed from the initial version?
Things have reached up to the new system being introduced to the wider world, so just after the dungeon, yeah.
As for how much things have changed...A decent amount. Aside from the changes that affect "the present", the ride up to the system changing has had a pretty big overhaul. There's a lot more foreshadowing on the Lilith's past life thing, and a fair bit more on the Kali reveal (though there was only so much I could do there due to limited time from her introduction to the reveal), the part where they meet Siph has changed up a bunch, and the arc where Lilith and Carmen are separated has received some drastic changes.
As for the end result, I intend to pick up almost exactly where this left off. There are two, maybe three changes that'll have to be addressed so people don't get confused, but by and large you should be able to pick the series back up without reading the rewrite and you mostly wouldn't notice a thing.
FINALLY i think i read it to current release just as it went on hiatus but glad it is waking up now....
Well it's been a while
