We need to have a talk...

For those who don't know, the first 10,000 words of this fiction were written over Christmas. Then, these words sat gathering dust in my Google Docs for months. Two months ago, I found myself with more time than usual and decided to revisit this fiction. Uploading it without any backlog, I simply wrote chapters when I felt like it.

The fiction eventually made it to rank 1 on RS, but I was hit with illness and lack of time due to moving countries, so I ended up leaving weeks between chapters.

This fic has made me no money (actually -$300 so far) and was purely something I was writing on the side for fun from my main fiction, Reborn as a Demonic Tree.

This fiction also taught me that I despise writing hard magic systems with hard stats and numbers. They are a chore to keep track of and constantly update, and I hate maths. Loose magic-like cultivation in Xianxia is more my vibe.

I may revisit this fiction with a rewrite to include more restrictions, such as removing the free skill slots so the MC has to think more about which form to fight in due to each form's limits. But for now, it's on the back burner.

Apologise for those hyped for new chapters and messaging me asking if I'm okay.

Thank you for reading!
