Hello, everyone!
Kind of a sad news. But if you've been following the recent releases, you'd notice that the chapter upload had been a little late than their usual timing, including the previous two chapters.
Long story short I've been a bit busy in real life that it's hard to get a lot of writing in.
I STILL INTEND TO KEEP WRITING AND CONTINUE THE STORY!
You have no worries on that.
But I won't be able to keep publishing more regularly now given my schedule in real life.
And I don't want to continue uploading chapters and then had to go into brief hiatus all of a sudden or having the chapter's upload delayed without notice or something like that.
I still want to give you guys some sense of order in the release.
So my plan is to go into hiatus right now and then continue writing whenever I can.
I won't start publishing the chapters unless I've already written to a certain part of the story with sufficient conclusion.
How much of a content that would be?
At least 15 to 20 chapters worth of story.
The Fourth Intermission will be about that long. So it won't get uploaded until I've finished writing it.
Once finished, I would upload the Fourth Intermission's chapters one per day like usual.
Hopefully in the meantime I would be able to write enough of the next part of the story, which is the Quintal Trial arc.
I plan to divide the Quintal Trial arc into two given the length of every arc so far.
So this is how the story's scheduling will be from this point forward:
-Hiatus (with no set duration)
-Fourth Intermission
-Hiatus (might be shorter than the previous one, depend on how much writing I've done)
-First half of the 30th floor's arc
-Hiatus (duration tentative)
-Second half of the 30th floor's arc till the conclusion of its Quintal Trial
-And repeat
I'm sorry I couldn't keep writing and uploading more regularly.
I wish I could make writing this fan-fic the only thing I do, but I can't lol.
I already tried to anticipate this by writing a hundred chapters before I started uploading the very first chapter, but eventually everything caught up and I couldn't keep up anymore.
So I had to resort to this arrangement.
I'm not sure how long it'll take me to write the Fourth Intermission, but this is NOT a good bye!
Even so, I still want to thank you guys that have been reading this fan-fic all this time and to those awesome readers that have been liking and commenting good things about the story.
Especially to these three readers:
Whispers_001, A_0693, and Willarvel.
I want you guys to know that your excitement, positivity, and encouragement have been helping and pushed me to keep on writing this fan-fic.
Thank you so much for your grand support. It truly meant something.
There are also others that have been silently supporting me through Power Stones and some that had left a comment here and there, and wonderful reviews to tell how much they like the story. Thank you to you guys as well!
BUT THIS IS NOT A GOODBYE!
I still plan to continue writing.
We're only a quarter of the way up the tower and there are still plenty more of the story to cover. So many exciting battles and journeys that I want to show you guys!
Urgh, the story was about to get bigger and I really wish I could just keep writing this fan-fic, but I can't lol.
Anyway, I hope you'll keep waiting till I return again with the story.
I'll be sure to put up a notice later on of the exact date I'll be returning with the Fourth Intermission, that way it won't just happen so suddenly. So be sure to be on the lookout.
That is all for the announcement.
I'm sorry again for this news. But it is what it is.
See you again in the Fourth Intermission!
