Now then, thanks to all of you for your continued support and for reading the series! I wouldn't have made it this far without all of you readers giving me and my stories a chance. Now, after three years of writing web serials and editing this first volume on and off for the past few months, I finally have my first book on Amazon!
Whoo. Yay. (insert cheering noises here)
If you want to read the edited version of the first volume (the first 20 chapters, I'll explain why chapters 21+ aren't included below), it's now available to read on Amazon! I've fixed every single mistake everybody has kindly pointed out as well as many more that nobody--myself included--caught until I proofread the entire thing like 3 times. I'm not going to say it's perfect, I have no doubt that a mistake or two (and hopefully not more) slipped in, but I'm proud of it and the work I've put into it. I can confidently sell the first volume and feel proud of it which is enough for me.
There's also a little bonus sketch to thank everybody for reading at the very end of it in case that helps entice you to check it out! Also, if you buy it, please leave a review! And even if you don't buy it but you've read the series on here, I'm pretty sure you're still able to leave a review! Every single review helps a massive amount on Amazon. So, if you want to support me but you can't afford to buy the book, please consider leaving a review!
Now, I want to explain the whole KU thing. I did, in fact, enroll this series in Kindle Select and I plan on enrolling my other series in it when it comes time to publish them, too. This means that all of my stories will be available to read for free to Kindle Unlimited subscribers, and then I get paid per page read from them. Why did I do this? Well, honestly, because it's just stupid not to if you're a self-published author. If I was one of the big guys making $5,000 a month from my Patreon alone, I probably would have skipped it, but I'll be real with all of you. i need the money lol. I don't like supporting Amazon's monopoly, but I also live in a capitalistic country where I kind of need money to do things, and most self-published authors report making at least 60% of their profit from KU rather than normal sales.

So, what does this mean for free readers? Well, it means that I had to remove 90% of what's included in the first volume from RR, SH, and my personal website. Being with KU means exclusivity. That means you can't have more than 10% of what's published on there available to read anywhere else. So, only the first chapter of the first volume is available as far as that first volume goes. Everything else is fine. Also, you might notice that chapters 21+ for the first volume are still up. That's because I decided to publish the first 20 chapters as the first volume, and then the rest of what's currently labeled volume 1 will be merged with some of what's labeled volume 2 to make the real volume 2 that will go onto Amazon in a few months. I want my published novels to be around 250 pages each. The first two volumes of LDQ, as they were as web serials, were nearly 500 pages each. Way too long for the genre I'm publishing in considering that 250 pages is already considered long for fluffy light novel-type stories. And personally speaking, 250 pages is what I feel is the perfect size for a book. Bigger books scare me.
Also editing drives me to the edge of insanity and cutting the volumes into shorter books keeps me from yeeting myself into the nearest industrial shredder.
Anyways, if you're only like a volume behind or you're already caught up with the series, you won't have any problems. Almost everything is still there and I'm going to continue posting new chapters as they come out to here. No worries there. If you're a brand new reader or you started and stopped in the very first volume and want to continue now, though, then you're going to have to check out the first volume on Amazon (or just skip it I guess).

That's all for now. I just wanted to explain why I'm going with KU which means removing the earlier chapters of the story, and I wanted to let those of you who are caught up know that you will still have more free chapters coming out. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to let me know in the comments and I'll do my best to answer them!
Also! Physical copies of the books aren't available right now, but I'm going to try and get them available within the next couple of weeks since that's a whole 'nother formatting process to go through and then I have to order a proof copy for myself to make sure it's all good in person before making them officially available for sale.
That being said, I hope that you continue to read the series and hopefully support it on Amazon as well! Remember, even if you haven't bought the book on Amazon, you're still able to go and leave a review for it (I think). So if you don't want to buy it but you want to support me and the series, it would be a massive help if you could do that.
Thanks once again, and please look forward to more Lazy Dragon Queen!

Tidal Lock
Humanity has finally taken the next step into space. Governments run research stations throughout the solar system while private enterprises mine asteroids for rare metals and exotic minerals. However, space remains beyond the reach of the everyday person. In contrast, virtual reality technology has led to an explosion of full immersion entertainment for the average consumer, and many people turned to VR for the thrill of spaceflight.One game, Parallax Gate, lets its players experience living in an interstellar civilization. For maximum realism, its developers created a world solely defined by the players' personal skills and ability.Mark Asami, a student of aerospace engineering at MIT, dreams of bringing spaceflight to the masses. To his disappointment, his first year courses barely relate to his interests, so he passes time as Aero Rayne in Parallax Gate with his roommate and their organization, the Temple Wraiths. Before they realized, a chain of in-game events drew them deeper into the game's world and politics than they ever intended to go.

A Girl and Her Fate
Avien Shepard heralded change with his arrival. Not only was he born on the dawn a solar eclipse, three meteors lit up the sky on the day of his birth. Seven sages visited across seven years to gift him with knowledge of the seven legal schools of magic, and a deceased outlaw fought his way up from the hells to grant knowledge of the tabooed eighth on the next. On his eleventh birthday, a sword fell from the sky and landed in a very important chair. Soldiers from far and wide traveled to attempt to extract the sword from the queen’s throne, but none could shift the blade, until Avien. When he was fourteen, Avien learned of a prophecy that foretold of his decade long battle with the Demon Prince of Invea. But this isn't his story. Avien is kind of a chump. This is the story of Amber Jewel, a girl who has only been Chosen as another Chosen one’s wife. Updates Thursday, & Sunday.

Renewal and Rebirth
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Interstellar travel. Life extension medicines. Advanced AI's All of these meant nothing to Jayden, she had been born too soon, her body unable to process the new technology. She was approaching the end of her life and had a choice to make. Deep Dive VR had progressed and real digitization and uploading was now an option for those unable to use life-extension treatments. For all the science the Human race had developed, Jayden was forced to take a different path. She would be digitized and explore a new world. One where cultivation and dinosaurs blended together. [Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License. For those unfamiliar with my writing style, Second Chances was my first attempt at writing. I'm not sure how much I learned in the process, except that readers get angry when you mess with characters they like! Warnings - I tend to info dump. I know I do this, I like slice of life novels that take time to unfold. So don't expect action, murder, and battles in every chapter, it isn't going to happen I prefer the first-person narrative. I will do an occasional POV shift, but it will never be done mid-chapter. I hope you enjoy the story, comments, ratings, and favorites are greatly appreciated!

QQQQ
Have you ever noticed that the letter Q is unnecessary? It doesn't provide any function to the language. Any word spelled with it could just as easily be spelled with other letters. Does that mean it shouldn't exist? Of course not. In this universe, everything has a place. Cosmic balance, Karma, God's plan, the laws of physics—they're all trying to describe the same thing. There is nothing that exists without purpose, and nothing without purpose that can exist. You can take solace in knowing that, just like the useless letter Q, you have birthright to exist in this world. Nothing can take that from you. Unless a creator God breeds technicolor angel-beasts hellbent on ripping you out of reality, of course. When Mina learns that she was a cosmic accident—a being accidentally created without purpose—what was once an easygoing life starts to entwine with conspiracies, impossible occurrences, and deadly occult mysteries. Not to mention friends so dangerous and unpredictable they make the cosmic horrors look normal by comparison. When the questions never stop piling up, it's hard to know where to begin. But I'll give you a hint: they all begin with a Q.

The Spirit Games
Bullied at school and neglected by his parents, Tom Fiddle finds himself at his wit's end, until he receives a strange email offering him a job as a cultivation clan's spirit automaton. But what *is* a spirit automaton? After a successful application, he gets an answer to his question: a spirit automaton is an arcane spirit attached to a pocket realm. They can shape this miniature world to their liking and conjure spiritual entities, usually monsters, out of thin air. Their role is to create and administer trial-by-fires. These life and death competitions determine whether a disciple is *chosen* or merely *trash* that deserves to be left by the wayside. Tom's new responsibility will affect the lives of millions of cultivators and shape the future of hundreds of worlds, dozens of galaxies, and eventually, the universe itself. Will Tom use his newfound power to torment others and merely benefit himself? Or will he rewrite the course of history and transform the path of cultivation from a path of blood and destruction, to one of peace and tranquility?
