《Congratulations, You're Dead!》Congrats! has come to an end.
Advertisement
So... Like Sorrel at the end of the last chapter. I had intented to take a break, maybe write something else, and then come back to this. And, thanks to my large backlog, I probably would have done so before any of you even knew. But, I just never came back to it.
"Congratulations, You're Dead!" was a lot of firsts for me. First long-form fiction(almost 300k words, over 10x longer than anything else I've written before), first romance, first slice of life story. And, I made a lot of mistakes along the way.
I went into this story with no plan at all, and since nothing was planned, a few things went of the rails. I didn't know what I wanted from this, but now know what I don't. Sorrel being Supergod™ levels of O.P. probably being at the top of the list. I mean, I fucking nerfed him, and then gave him near infinite mana a week later. What the hell was I thinking?
I haven't really been happy for most of book three, and I think it's shown through lately. Especially in the last arc where it pretty much just devolved into smut. Nothing wrong with smut, but it's not the story I wanted to write.
So, yeah. This is the end. I'm sorry to those of you who were looking forward to seeing where the story went. Like I said, I don't really have a plan, but I do have a general idea of where things where going. So, if there's some question that you just need closure on, feel free to ask in the comments below. Try to keep the ranting to a minimum, though. Please.
I am working on something else right now, and will probably release it within a month. I'm about half way through the first book(not sure how many I want to write, but I'd like it to be a longer series), and don't want to release anything until I've got at least that one book done.
Thank you all for you supporting this story(I still can't believe it got as popular as it did), and I hope you return for what comes next.

8 1782The Badger Dungeon
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Dungeons. Everyone's heard of them. Sprawling maze-like places where you can find special objects that can't be found anywhere else in the world, train to become a great warrior or wizard, and slay dozens of monsters. Drops! Loot! Glory! What more could you want? Dungeons are places of danger and adventure, full of thrills and maybe even romance, where people enter as your normal and everyday person but leave as a hero. Even a child knows what a dungeon is! A dungeon is controlled and ruled over by its Dungeon Core, a mana crystal that's gained sentience, and with it a mind just as twisted as the home that it makes for itself. Dungeon Cores all have very simple wants and needs: to expand and to devour, and to that end, they'll do absolutely everything and anything within their power. Everyone knows that. Sometimes, though? Sometimes the Dungeon Core doesn't know that. Sometimes they wake up all alone, confused and with no clue what they should do, and find themselves quickly becoming the home to a family of badgers and other creatures. The Dungeon Core can be left struggling to figure out their role in the world and how exactly they're supposed to achieve it. They're really doing their best, and you shouldn't judge them for it! The badger thing was a complete mistake but there's just no way they can turn back and fix it so they're just trying to make do, okay?! What would you do in their situation?! Cover art was made with pixel assets from Szadi art and 0x72.

8 275The Lion in Wolf's Clothing
No one said turning his life around would be easy. No one said all of his effort would be worth it in the end. The only thing anyone ever told this reformed delinquent was he would never make it into the best school in the country, yet he made it that far. Surely the rest would work itself out on its own, right? Right? If he wants to keep himself on the right track he needs to figure out how the nation's elite gets things done. Studying, manners, duels for supremacy. Just normal stuff. Who knows, he might end up liking it more than his old life. If he survives.
