《Lost In Translation》End of Book 1 Update!
Advertisement
Hello! So first of all, I'd like to say thank you to everyone who read until the end of book 1. Honestly, I'm very surprised that the feedback was a lot less negative than I first expected, considering that I am aware of the many flaws my first book has. I apologize to anyone who was disappointed or left empty after reading the ending, but I really did write what I thought was best.
If you'll stick around for book 2 to find out how I'll redeem the story from the low point I've ended it on, I'll appreciate it. I promise the story doesn't just toss out everything I've build up over book 1 for some kind of reboot.
Anyway, I'll get on to the main purpose of the update!
So as you all know, book 1 has many issues that spring up during a first draft. Especially for a story like mine, which was written by a pantser like me. Naturally, I plan to edit the story for publishing on KU and aim to fix all these mistakes. There's no issue with posting the edited version here before the KU release, so I've left it in a poll above. Should I repost the edited chapters on RR once they've been polished? Or would you guys prefer I leave the RR version untouched until book 2 is ready for release?
I'm asking because I know some of you don't want to reread the whole thing even when edited, so if the votes slant towards the negative, I'll just leave the edited version up for free on my Discord server until it releases on KU. Either way, it will be available for free somewhere for those who want it. I just want to ask if I should post it on RR.

Now with that out of the way, I'd like to talk about my plans and schedule from here on.
For the next 1-2 months, I will mostly be working on editing LIT book 1, preparing for book 2, and writing my second project. This will serve as a refresher period for me and a way to dodge burnout by working on something new. I'll be leaving updates on my Discord server and will be active there to answer any questions or to just talk, but I'll mostly leave RR alone for that period of time. So please come to my Discord if you've got anything to ask! I might not see your comments on RR during that time.
Anyway, that's about it.
New story will be out by October, LIT book 2 will ideally be out by the end of October/start of November, and book 1 will be published around the start of 2022. Thank you for sticking with the story until the first book's rather depressing ending. I hope I'll be able to make up for it with my coming book 1 edits and plans for book 2. It's only uphill from here! Hopefully.
See you soon!
Edit: Added a third option because I forgot I could do that lol. And for people asking for the Discord invite, it's on the story synopsis. Or you can also just click on the link I'll leave on the author's note below.

The Chronicle of a Witch
It is a story about a young girl that abruptly transmigrated into the body of another young girl (at least in appearance) in another world filled with Magic. She notices that she becomes a Dungeon Master and for a thousand years... she lives a lazy life. However, one day, she lost all of her power and she is kicked out of her Dungeon! And the world's changed that video games level and classes governed the power system of the new world! What will she do as a weak and fragile girl? Will she get her power back? How will she survive in the harsh world? Author's note: I will update daily if possible and each chapter is around 2,000 words. Gores, Sexual Contents, and Traumatising Contents are limited and I try my best not to write them. However, for the progress of the story, I can't help but write some of them in the latter part of the story. However, don't expect them too much ^_^ English is not my native language, so there might be grammatical errors (maybe a lot), but I'll try to fix them, so constructive critiques will be appreciated (^_^)

Blood of the Past
He awoke in a startled rush feeling as though it had been centuries since last he had opened his eyes, but alas, it had. His thoughts returned and he heard the screaming of his people and the great pain from the burning fires set against them. He was shunned and outcast along with the rest of his people, and the wars, the terrible wars fought because they could not understand. The Humans could not understand and would not understand him and his peoples true nature. He stood, his strength returning to him, as he did so the dust that had gathered on him fell to the floor. He looked around the cave which he hid in all those centuries ago and he found the way out. He made his way towards it, wanting to see the same as which he had when he entered, wilderness. He made it to the mouth of the cave and found it to be near midday, and he saw naught but wilderness. Save a lone tower far in the distance clearly overgrown and abandoned. His blood boiled as he stepped into the light and the harsh reality of him and his people rushed back into his mind. He would wait for night, and then he would move.
