Sorry for disapearing without notice. Its not something i have an excuse for. I've just been avoiding RRL at all costs, for reasons i dont want to get into in this post.

That said, I owe everyone who is still interested in this story an update.

When i took my break a few months ago, i did so with the intention of taking a small break to edit what i had out on this site into something more concise and less drawn out. While doing so, i realized that there were several problems with the second part of the story - and on a fundamental level that an 'edit' wouldnt fix. It was... frustrating to say the least, and i didnt have any desire to put any more of my time into something that would never be good, or even decent.

So, I eventually made up my mind to completely start the second part of the story over, off of RRL. (everything after Dante enters the wastelands.) I know that is going to upset a lot of people who have already read past that, but - at least in my opinion - the story is currently in a far better state than it was before.

As far as future plans are concerned, I am planning on releasing the entirety of the second part on RRL in a few months. The exact amount of time will depend on what level of editing i decide to do prior to releasing it, but it should be early 2019. (before, i would post a chapter and a reader would point out any incosistencies/errors within the first few minutes of it being out, making it easy for me to correct mistakes as i wrote them. Since im not posting the chapters one at a time that level of editing is no longer occuring, so im probably going to enlist the help of a few beta readers to help me find the errors/mistakes before releasing anything.)

I appologize for lack of communication, i hope you guys can at least see where i am coming from.

(I'm not sure if i'll be reading comments on this post... Im going back to avoiding RRL like the plague after this.) ಠ_ಠ
