It hurts me writing this, but I have to make a definite line, for myself, and for you guys to become aware.

Upfront, thank you, everyone, who stuck around until now as the Story progressed, even as it slowed to a crawl in recent times. However, I carry bad news.

I had already decided over a week ago, that I will completely stop writing on this version of The Orphan Fox.

No further Chapters, nothing. This version is officially dropped.

However, before you all start complaining, please listen.

I first thought I could fix the mistakes I made in the beginning, but besides the grammar, I was unable to truly fill out all those plot-holes that were left behind. As in the beginning, when I started writing, I mostly wrote down whatever came to mind without minding the problems and possible plot-holes and mistakes it would cause later on.

And now those haunt me as I write the new chapters, making me unable to truly progress further, especially with the different characters and scenarios.

For that reason, since The Orphan Fox is still the favorite Project of mine, I don't want to see it die like this.

Because of this, I decided to start anew with this Project, to bring it back to life.

I actually already began writing and working on that, but it takes time, as I don't want to release the Prologue before I have at least ten chapters or so.

Actually, I will maintain the main-cast even in the new version, and the baseline of the story will also stay mostly the same. However, I will cut away certain useless additions, and try to lessen the info-dump, while also trying to get more potential out of it. As many might have noticed, the Arc in the Dragon-Mountain, for example, could have been so much more than it was, with all the introduced characters that never made another appearance.

Basically, I will work off of what I already have, and try to make it better, without losing the adorable and cute-factor, since, after all, that is an essential part. ^^

But some of you might have noticed certain mistakes, like how in the beginning, the power and magic system changed two or three times.

Also, I seemed so in a hurry sometimes with the powers, that I kept giving him some and having to 'seal' them in some form afterward which caused further problems since I didn't think too much ahead.

(For Example, The echoes stuck in his head, judging him weren't actually part of the original plan and more of an extra to seal away his Fox-Form that I revealed too early, even though the blood-rage was intended...)

Those mistakes and similar ones I want to fix and prevent in the new version, taking a calmer approach. However, even the new one will have its problems, but I hope I can use the experience I gathered until now to make it a better experience for you Readers, and me as the author.

Thank you for Listening.
