Monster Girl Menagerie – Celestial Archive Volume 1 Afterword

Hi, Drifting Embers here,

First of all, I want to thank you for all the support you have provided, without which I wouldn't have co this far—so, Thank You!

With the end of the volu 1 at 60 chapters and over 94k words, I'm left feeling rather conflicted. The numbers might not be sothing to be proud of, especially in our community, but it's sothing that represents a hurdle I have faced and overco. On one hand I'm proud, on the other, not so much...

A lot of things happened in the past couple month: my exams, work and then my sister falling ill. Which affected my working schedule and in short made a ss of my work. I guess, that's probably why I'm not particularly proud of the later half of this volu. Of course, I wouldn't bla it entirely on that.

When I first started writing this novel, volu 1 was intended to be an introductory volu—one where I basically introduced characters, the world and magic system and then set basis for the plot moving forward. It wasn't supposed to exceed 30 chapters, but... here we are.

Volu 2 is where I actually set things into motion, progress the plot and all that. This will probably be the longest volu of this novel. So, look forward to that.

Volu 3 is the climax, where we wrap up the plot. Tie ends and reach conclusions, basically. It will probably be only as long as Volu 1 itself.

At last, Volu 4 is ant to act as the Epilogue; it will be the shortest volu. And with that I will have hopefully wrapped this book up.

On the side note, I have decided on rewrite the Drifting Dao. It needs a bit of refinent before I put it into words and present to you. That said, I'm currently in the midst of writing a fanfiction by the na of Rust & Radiance. It's set in DC Universe with Jumpchain chanics—specifically Celestial Forge. Now if you know Brockton's Celestial Forge, then you should get the gist of what I'm cooking. Nowhere near the level of Lord Roustabout, but... You get it.

Four chapters are already available on my patreon. If everything went well, it should also beco available here before the end of this month.

Thank you once more for all the support.
