Okay! There is literally one chapter left in this novel, and it`s a doozy. It`s about four or five times the size of a normal chapter - I might have to divide it up into multiple chapters honestly. If I do though, I won`t wait two weeks between each one; I`ll release them like, a day apart or something, just so that I don`t break the flow too much. I`m working on it constantly, but I want to get it just right, so could be a bit before it`s release. I`ll update you all when it`s getting close.

　　Thank you all for being with me on this journey so far. I didn`t quite get the readership I was hoping for, but I`m still going to finish this thing. My goal once I`m done is to go back and do a major revision and clean up everything. Here`s just a few of my bigger notes so far on what I need to clean up:

　　- Make Shae a little more likeable in the beginning. I`ve gotten lots of comments that he`s kind of a dick in the first few Chapters, which is true, though also intentional, since I need to show growth across the novel. I think I can potentially dial back his crudeness a bit early on however - still gotta make sure readers stick around to see the change!

　　- Develop Asira and her relationship with Chief further. Asira was always the character I struggled with the most. I don`t know why. I want to really go back through this novel, give her a unique voice and find out what makes her tick. It will be especially important for me to further foreshadow her betrayal of Chief to make that moment more impactful,

　　- Introduce some more important characters early on: There were some characters that I didn`t appreciate the importance of. Kezzle for example defeating the fire wizard - that moment came to me on a whim. Was originally supposed to be Bez who killed the fire wizard, believe it or not. I need to go back through and give those characters a bit more substance early on to make the pay out bigger. I also want to introduce the giant Glitch Monsters earlier to make them something that the reader dreads through the novel.Stolen story; please report.

　　- Clean up Chapter 7: Oddly specific, I know. But the motivation for the Deadly Skulls attacking Shae`s crew here were not super well-defined. I have some ideas how to fix this now that I`ve made it further in the novel, so I want to go back and clean it up. The Deadly Skulls are pretty important characters and I want to make sure readers know it back then.

　　- Fix Up Confusing Terminology: I introduce a lot of terms in this novel. Too many terms. Paths. Servers. Pirahnoids. I want to go through and simplify things so that it`s easier to keep track of high concepts. Instead of travelling between servers for example (which doesn`t actually make any sense), characters will instead travel between Game Worlds. And many race names will be adjusted give readers a clearer initial visualization of what they are, based on the name alone. Pirahnoids will become Sharkoids for example. Armorioids will become Insectoids. And I might make Pteranoids Birdoids, though that could complicated the name Feather Birds a bit. And finally, I`ll be varying up some of the D names. Danny. DD. David. That`s way too many D`s. O.o

　　Anyway, that should give you a rough example of the things I`ll be changing in the next wide-sweeping revision. If there`s anything else you found confusing or annoying about that novel as a whole, please feel free to let me know! I appreciate all the feedback and I want to get this as good as possible!

　　Thanks again for reading and rest assured, I`m going to close this book out strong!
