《Returning to No Applause, Only More of the Same》RETURNING TO NO APPLAUSE NOW ON AMAZON!!!!!
Advertisement
The long-awaited date has arrived: the fifth of July is here!!
That means that after so many months, the audible/e-book/paperback version of Returning to No Applause is finally online! I don't know about all of you, but I feel like a kid on Christmas morning. Fun fact, apparently, you can find it even on like, local Amazon sites? It's on a few European ones, which is really interesting.
The physical/e-book copies are over 400 pages long, and the entire audiobook (narrated by Daniel Wisniewski) is 18 hours, which is... a lot? If you're wondering what these versions have that the RRL version doesn't, I'd say polish. It's been professionally copyedited and I reread and fixed a lot. I wrote the first parts a year and a half ago, so rereading them made me cringe just a little, but now it's better! Chapters have also been combined to be longer instead of just being cut off at an arbitrary 5-page-mark in order to post them on the daily/weekly, so it feels a lot more cohesive. A few things, scenes and names have been changed, most noticeably in the earlier chapters.
And, as stated before, these chapters will still stay on Royalroad, so you can still read it without having to pay. I was offered to put it on Kindle unlimited, but... yeah. Here we are, baby!
But enough talking! Here's the links in the author note below, be sure to check them out, if only to give them a quick review!

The Helena Chronicles
Espers are really no different than humans; they look like any normal human and in general behave like any normal human. However, there are a few key differences. The max life expectancy of espers ranges from forty-five to fifty. They naturally have a knack for mathematics and are extremely intelligent in general, this is because their abilities rely on the subconscious and conscious calculations. They also have a mysterious energy source they call Focus that is generated naturally by all espers. The continent of Elestveeve is populated by three major factions, each a governing force. On the west of the continent, there is the Noble Houses that subscribe to the Deity Faith. The Houses ruling with the Deity Faith as council since the religion's founding four-hundred years previous. Controlling most of the northeast is WITCH, an organization ruled by powerful espers; claiming the mysterious Genesis as their capital, they are a whispered myth among much of the continent's less technically advanced residents. In the southeast you have Tech City, a towering monolith of a capital with four sky layers and metropolis' leveled deep underground; it is a city brimming with technical advancement and cyber integration. Each faction contends with one another for their evolutionary ideology, by devout religious worship to receive miraculous gifts, unique genetic lineage to obtain ESP, and technological integration to become something more than human. Helena, a young genius and esper, awakes in a dark room with only fuzzy memories and the company of seven other children. She must determine how she got there and how to get back to where she came from. Warning: Due to time constraints, I don't have the time to keep up on my three stories; therefore, Helena will need to go in a stasis chamber until I can find more time to write between work and life. I love my first girl so much! however, it seems she is the least popular among the fans (the poor girl T_T). This world is much bigger than my other two novels and I'm not giving up on it, but simply having to put her on ice.
