Now we need to create something which will erase all the remaining memories of… our previous attempt to bridge Varth’s childhood and teenage years. But don’t worry, this time we have a much better idea how to accomplish it.
Resus: After the last chapter it’s not a surprise that there’s going to be more important characters than just Varth and eventually their expansive growth in numbers may look like Varth isn’t in the center of the universe anymore.
Mirrond: The horror!
Resus: Anyway… we have two announcements to make before the part of this summary when we show all the tables again - usually they won’t be all displayed in chapters so lose to the end of an arc, so this will be our way of showing changes in stats (in chapters most of the changes will just be mentioned, not showed).
Mirrond: I personally bid you the best of luck trying to read them all later on. Even I sometimes get lost in all the planned content
Resus: Again, anyway… First thing to be said is that we plan to make - in addition to regular arcs - single chapter side stories. They will be very much a part of the main story… Just digressing from the main flow of it. First one will be published in just a few days to make the waiting easier (or not). And I myself am quite excited for the next arc the title of which is our second announcement: Abyssum abyssum invocat.
Mirrond: No doubt, it’s due to your character getting all the attention for a while. Admit it - you couldn’t wait for it for a long time xD
Resus: Not at all. I’m mostly excited for all the combat and dungeoneering. Varth isn’t exactly in position to provide any action at the moment.
Mirrond: Well, he has other activities xD though it’s going to change over time. I can’t say anything without spoilers except for that: it will be glorious. But for now, there are ways for you to help us in our work. My co-author is a machine fueled by attention, so comments are always welcome.
Resus: Not as much fueled by attention as by appreciation xD However, our point is that we want to know what you guys think so far about our work. Every opinion - and especially the critical ones - will be a great opportunity for us to improve on the details we missed. It’s important that you tell us what you did and didn’t like as the story is still in the making and we don’t want to make any more mistakes akin to the second half of Re:v.
And lastly - if some of you want to rate our story it’ll be great if you add a short statement explaining why you chose a certain rating. A negative evaluation without any explanation does nothing to improve the quality of our writing.
Mirrond: Additionally, we also decided that we are going to publish updates about our progress with writing the second arc. The current progress will be shown in the author’s notes in the beginning of this not-a-chapter. It’s, once again, to ease the wait for you and also give us more reasons to make the progress as fast as we can - keeping the best possible quality.
