Comrce Emperor News (series plans, Book 2 Stub notice and Book 3 returning in June)
Hello everyone,
It's been so ti! I'm dropping this notice to make a few announcents relative to Comrce Emperor (I wished to do so a few days earlier, but I've been swamped with the end of my break, work on other project and a long plane trip). The break has been a good occasion to ponder my new outline for volu 3 and the future of the series, and I would like to share those news with you.
- Current plans for the series: concluding the trilogy and making the setting an anthology
Comrce Emperor has been on my mind a lot these past few days, especially on how to properly advance with volu 3 after the lackluster reception of its predecessors. The break was partly ant to help stave off my burn out on it and taking so distance let better figure out where I want to go with it, and I feel taking so distance helped with it.
While CE did alright on Amazon, it's well below that of past releases and the number of people following it on Patreon is dwarfed by those who support Blood & Fur. I bla a few things like the burn-out on volu 2 and the narrower subject matter, but I'm very much close to an Underland situation with this series where I have a lot of stuff to cover, but other series work a lot better financially for . I've been considering how to resolve that problem and I think I've found one.
So after much consideration, I've decided to keep the Pangeal universe as an anthology following multiple heroes; volu 3 will conclude the Robin's/Devil of Greed (alongside others like Soraseo's and Eris') story arcs, but not the wider conflict with the Demon Ancestors. This will allow to revisit the universe later with different leads and plotlines in future series if I decide to do so (such as the Ranger, the Bard or the Mage) while giving the current core character cast a satisfactory ending.
A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.
I understand that so of you might be disappointed with this decision, but I feel it's the best compromise I can co up with. I think I've been a bit overambitious with this series and there are too many moving parts to conclude in that universe to cover everything in a single book, but waning interest makes it unwise to continue it for years on end; as I've said a few tis earlier, most of my new releases are ant to fund projects like The Perfect Run ga (currently in developnt) and Comrce Emperor is clearly not doing well enough; but on the other end, I don't want to leave this storyline unconcluded. Finishing the rchant trilogy and keeping the world open for other heroes and stories seems best at this point.
- Volu 2 Takedown at the end of May
My publisher has set a date for June 13th for the second volu's publication on Amazon and Audible, which ans I'll have to take down the second volu's chapters by the end of May. As such, if you want to reread the volu or didn't have ti to do beforehand, now is the ti. This is an unfortunate calendar issue caused by my break, but I'll publish a summary of the series' first two volus when I start updating book 3 again in June as a reminder.
- Volu 3 resuming in June, though with slower updates
I plan to resu Comrce Emperor in June to conclude the third book, though releases will be more irregular than before since I'm also working on other series on Patreon and focusing on Blood & Fur for now; expect sothing like an update every two weeks or sothing similar, with the first chapter of volu 3 being likely to drop close to volu 2's amazon launch. My new comrce-focused outline indicates that this book should be around the sa length as the first (20 or so chapters) so I hope to conclude the trilogy by the year's end.
And that's all for now. Thank you all for your patience during the break, and I hope you'll be happy to see this story resu in June.
Best regards,
Voidy.
