Announcement about the tournament arc

Added 2025-02-17 23:33:23 +0000 UTC

Hello, everyone!

I hope you're all doing well. I'm making this small announcement to say that I read every single comment here (and on Royalroad, for that matter) and that your criticism has been very helpful. You guys helped me realize ways I could improve my story.

I agree that this tournament arc/academy entrance exams arc is lacking compared to the Evenon arc, which flowed nicely, had personal stakes, and didn't lack progression. I've already added an objective to this tournament arc beyond just "entering the Academy" in the earlier chapters (top 3 will become Damian's apprentices. It would allow Rylan to progress much faster in his journey through magic).

This is all to say that I'll be making some changes to the already-posted chapters here.

Expect to see edits and maybe new chapters entirely, as I cut out unnecessary parts of the arc and therefore stitch together currently-separate chapters. After all, it wouldn't make sense to have one chapter here be 800 words and the next 2k. I'm going to start right now (8:30pm), but most activity will take place from tomorrow onward. Don't worry, I'll neatly organize the chapters in the Collections tab once I'm done. I'll also post another announcement then.

I would highly encourage rereading the arc when I finish. I would also appreciate more feedback. Thank you for reading!
