The Reincarnation of Alysara. Chapter 10: Bonds
AN: I thought that I'd get this chapter done a long time ago, but life got in the way. There's going to be a 4-year time skip between the end of this chapter and the next, and I want to do two or three side chapters that take place in that time. I want them to be more slice-of-life showcasing Aly's normal day and other people's perspectives, and maaybe, if I feel ambitious a small arc of Aly dealing with Nyam, her bully.AN2: Got some editing suggestions?

Interlude: Nexus History
AN: House renovations is done, had some medical issues but I think that's gotten better. Next month should be a lot more productive. A main story chapter should be ready this weekend or a couple days after. I also plan to do one of these for Kayafe's story eventually, but it's going to be a long story even as a summary.AN2: This chapter doesn't need too much editing, it's not a side or main chapter and just some world building, so no need to nitpick.https://docs.google.com/document/d/1D2bPaF3S6ixPCvgJp2uhglJuuRm1IE8A5aNSeIof...

The Reincarnation of Alysara. Chapter 7

The Reincarnation of Alysara. Chapter 4: A Mother's Worry
AN: I'm not entirely happy with this chapter. Something just feels off about it, and I can't figure out what. Not too much was changed, and I can't keep reading it over forever, so here it is. I really hope the next chapter will be out faster. Again, I'll aim for next week or, at the very least, before September.AN2: Got some editing suggestions?

The Reincarnation of Alysara. Chapter 1: Life Anew
AN: Sorry this one took so long. For the longest time something bugged me about it even though it was basically done. Eventually, though, I did figure out what was bothering me. The chapter was basically one long exposition of the town. There was very little input or involment from Aly, at least nothing that was shownit was all told.It's very important to get the "foundations" right since everything else is built on top of that. This is why it's needed to take time to get these first few chapters right since it sets the tone and...

Update
First, I want to say sorry for the slow updates. I have been having trouble with motivation, and writer's block. It's not burn out but rather that the current rough draft has problems that have caught up to me. The source of my lack of motivation and block is that every time I try to write something, my instincts tells me that the way the story is progressing does not work. The story is being pulled in too many directions, there are too many plot points with no ends, the story is just moving from point to point, and my instincts are tel...

Chapter 243: Final Answer
-----Sorry for the long delay. I Suffered from Balder's Gate three-itis. It's a serious addicting game but I'm pretty much over it now. Was a little hard to get back into the swing of things, and that is a little reflected in the first half of this chapter. As I have been doing so, I'll post public so if you felt a cheated last month, you don't have to subscribe for this or next month to still get chapters.AN: Got some editing suggestions?
