Hello all,

As per the title, the release for the side volume scheduled for today will be moved to Wednesday, November 26th, which is exactly two weeks from now.

Contrary to my intended plans for these three weeks, I haven't actually made *any* progress in writing the anticipated side volume. To be completely transparent: this is because I became wholly sidetracked by something else. I guess my post-volume burn out was worse than I anticipated; I really couldn't get my gears turning, and I just couldn't write anything (unironically the SpongeBob "The" scene). I ended up focusing on something easier and less cognitively taxing in hopes of solving my writer's block, and well, ended up way too locked into it. This story is my passion project, and passion can be very draining -- especially with how much effort I put into this project, and how pedantic I get over it.

You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.

I do feel that this protracted break and momentary focus on just something else (something different) was the healthiest thing for me to do. I feel like it's gotten my gears turning again, and I am eager to return my focus to this project.

But wait, wait -- interjects thee -- what is this something else? Doubtless, some are curious. I want to keep this announcement short and simple, so I'll just say I have been...cooking something up. I'll elaborate when the time is right and more appropriate (likely my New Year announcement).

For now, this is all I wanted to say. I apologize for this sudden delay and for being a bit vague. As always, I'll keep you all informed if there are any further changes, but I should have a chapter by the aforementioned date. If you have any questions or concerns, leave a comment and I'll address them.

I hope you all take care. See you again soon.

Next chapter will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone!
