Here we are, Chapter 032: The little ship that disappeared into the night has arrived - and with it, the conclusion of the W4 arc. It's been an interesting arc to write because a lot of things ended up happening pretty differently from what I had envisioned when I started writing it. Would you believe that I hadn't even come up with the idea of the Knights of W4 until after I had already started writing the chapter in which Cagizo first appears? Some things were planned to happen but didn't, a lot of things that weren't planned happened anyway, and a bunch of things happened in different ways and to different people. More than anything it's been emblematic of the way I keep getting the characters into situations that I don't know how they're going to get out of, so I have to figure out how they're going to get out of the corner I've written them into. At least it means I force myself to be creative.

So anyway.

No promises about a chapter next week, but I have gotten back into the writing groove somewhat. Stay tuned.

So, yeah, Chapter 031: Knights of W4 is here for you now! I really won't make any promises for consistent updates right now though given that I'm about to get started for real on my big final project for my master's degree. But I will certainly try. Enjoy!

So I spent a lot of time at universtiry this week, didn't really get the writing that I wanted to get done done, but I wanted to update now anyway! I've got another weekend without deadlines now so y'know.

So yes. Volume 04: On the run is here, and with it, Chapter 030: Always. Do enjoy!

But at least Chapter 029: Someone to protect is live now, and with that, Volume 03: Standing united comes to a close. I might take a one week break before the next volume starts, but I also might not. There's a bunch of factors involved in whether or not I'll do that. I'll post about it next Friday either way.

So enjoy! Personally I have a lot of stuff going on right now. In a pretty intense period of my studies, so right now writing time isn't at a premium for me.

And that's all I'm going to say about that.

But yes, finally there's some action to be had in Chapter 028: Marine Commander Roth of W4!

And that thing I said about less writing time? Turns out lunch hour is actually great writing time when you don't go out to lunch. Only one chapter left in this volume, and it just needs some small final edits to be done. Yay!

But I can promise we're at least getting somewhere, and next week the action definitely kicks off. For now, you can read Chapter 027: Jailbreak.

Final semester of my master's starts on Monday, but I got a few week's worth of chapters even if I'm going to have less writing time. Volume 03 is going to be fully published before the end of the month. Look forward to it.

Almost exactly three months since the previous chapter, a new chapter is finally here!

Yes, believe it or not - but Chapter 026: A dangerous prisoner is up. Go read it! Yay! Okay, so it's kind of a talky chapter. Action will ensue later. And lots of it.

With that I've got good news and... well, also good news, actually: Assuming my proofreader gets the chapters back to me at a constant rate we're going to be back to weekly updates (every Friday!) for at least a little while (definitely until the end of the current volume, and probably a little longer), and the other good news is connected to that since me and David (that's my proofreader. Say hi to David, everyone) have streamlined the process slightly. Very slightly. So slight you're not going to notice any of it.

Slight.

Also, don't forget to catch Awesome Games Done Quick 2017, a speedrun marathon for charity. Starts on Sunday.

...the bad news is that I'm officially no longer going to stay on a consistent updating schedule.

But first things first - Chapter 025: W4 (which is probably going to stay the shortest chapter title for qute a while) is up for your reading pleasure, so please go ahead and read it.

And then there's the matter of the updates. I really wanted to stick to weekly updates. I really, really did. Even had a certain day of the week to do it too. But I have significantly less free time now than I used to, and I do have other things I want to do with my spare time as well. So from now on, new chapters will be released on a strict "when it's done (and has been proofread)" basis. We're officially past the halfway point of this volume, anyway, and I hope you want to stick around anyway!

THEREWEGO

So I had a few issues while writing this chapter. Some scenes just weren't coming out the way I wanted them. But now it's all done, and now it's here, you can go read Chapter 024: Team spirit (which, by the way, is a title I decided on technically after it had been published. It was briefly named Team effort, which even that was a title I had decided on less than half an hour ago. I didn't know what to call this chapter, because the title I had in mind for it ended up becoming the title of Chapter 025 instead). Again, apologies for the delay and I hope you enjoy reading this chapter more than I did writing it.

But alas, there was no way to do so, so you'll just have to read Chapter 023: Wanted (so yeah guess why I wanted, pun intended, that symbol) without one. I found a slightly more fancy B to use for it, though.
