《When the Lilyflower blooms...》End of Book 2 & Author's Thoughts
Advertisement
Soooo… We’ve finally come to the end of Book 2…
I know, I know… I have been delaying the release of this story for quite some time. But honestly, no one could have expected COVID to hit us right? For some reason, working from home in my company equates to giving me more work. Seriously, I was lucky that COVID didn’t hit when I was writing Spirit Immortal, otherwise I would have died from overwork!
I will try to streamline my release schedule for Lilyflower, especially since I really don't want it to be only released once a week. I’ll try to aim for three times a week, maybe four, but no promises! I will give a test run for August to stick to the schedule and see how it holds up. Also, once I can get my schedule in order, I would want to start using my Patreon account again. I can’t keep suspending my account indefinitely after all.
Alright, logistics aside… How did you all feel about Book 2?
It did end on a cliffhanger like my usual style, but I really liked the way it panned out. Book 1 and 2 are part of the first arc of Lilyflower, or what you would call the introductory arc. I tried to introduce the main characters, the world setting, the plot without giving too much details… And I think I did a decent job. There were some areas that I would have liked to improve on, but I didn’t really have the time to write an entire book and edit it like most authors so bear with me on that.
The next arc however, would have more chapters as I have written much more details in the storyboard. Think of it like the main work after the introduction has been completed. That’s why the first two books only had about twenty chapters. I promise, there will be more content in Book 3, which is why I will have to speed up my releases… Urgh, the agony!

Now, you have been introduced to the main two characters. Aria, the main character and the female protagonist and Aurum, the male protagonist. It’s my first time writing a novel that has romance at the forefront rather than a supporting detail, so I will have my errors. I’m trying to make their romance a little more genuine and their interactions, a little more fun.
Well, there isn’t much to elaborate on this author’s thoughts. If I go on ranting, I might spoil the story so I’m going to keep a tight lid on this one.
Hope you enjoy the book and see you in the next one!

Throughout the Ages
A new virtual reality game has just been released, different to any that have come before it. Throughout the Ages sees the players guiding a small community from the the stone age onwards, acting as benevolent gods that inspire and bless their charges. The peoples of Lorinas are not mere abstractions, though, but complex AI with their own thoughts and motives, living in a rich and dangerous fantasy world! Follow the tale of John, the uninteresting author self-insert character, and his sexy AI handmaiden Jade, as they pursue success in a game where their decisions can mean life or death! This story is supposed to be a dungeon lord like story in a VR multiplayer setting, I hope people who read it enjoy it. Partially ghostwritten by the incredibly handsome and clever Sniggyfigbat, and edited by the occasionally competent Dosahder.(Warning: this synopsis might not be entirely objective) (Upload schedule is highly irregular due to having to match three different plannings) more tags might be added in the future.Also it is my first story so please point out spelling and grammar mistakes.

Chimera
Eleanor meant the world to Titus. So when an opportunity to bring her murderer to justice appears, Titus jumps on the chance. His quest, however, would mean traversing the dangerous world of Nivandor, a land infested with monsters, night hunters, and corrupt kings–nothing he and his lord, Lady Priscilla, couldn't handle. Their plans change, however, when both of them are dragged into a nightmare realm, a dimension filled with strange and powerful terrors unlike any they've ever faced. Titus's skill as a kinetic mage is put to the ultimate test as he must work with his lord to fight off the increasingly dangerous monsters that hunt them as they hunt down the three remaining Seraph lords sustaining the Nightmare. For only when the final Seraph lord is slain will the Nightmare truly end. --- Happy Holidays! I tried to get a chapter out this month, but there was just too much stuff to do and I got sick. There will also be more stuff to do come the month of December to the point that I don't think I will have a chance to finish the current story arc on a strong note. So, as of today, I will be going on hiatus until the holidays are over. I will hopefully return with the last few chapters of book 2 as well as the DLC chapters to help clarify Titus and Priscilla's powers as well as a look into their lives before the story gets crazy (maybe 6-7 chapters). These chapters are planned to take place in the day between Chapter 1.4 & Chapter 1.5, detailing the day they had before going to Nivandor. How the DLC chapters will be titled is to be decided. The DLC chapters will be posted here free as usual. Really excited to get a break so I can catch up on chapters. Even more excited to be able to start book 3 once the current story arc is finished. Warmly, Daniel --- Disclamer: This story is not a finished product and will be undergoing changes, sometimes significant changes, as the story develops. Think of it as an early access story where nothing is fully set in stone. If I change a part of the story that you really love, I'm sorry, but changing one part of the story will affect the other parts I try to avoid major changes, especially in older chapters, but for the newer ones there will probably be more fine tuning. As for anyone invested in the story who is not happy with the way the story is going, feel free to DM me so I can get feedback. I want to know how you guys feel about the story, what changes I can make, at what point in the story I may have lost you. But until I get specific feedback, I won't know what changes might need to be made. There are about 14 chapters left for Part 2 of Chimera, give or take. I don't have a time frame for when they will be up but know I am chipping away at the chapters as I can. Warm Regards, Daniel --- Cover art credit goes to Brosedesignz, who has an awesome selection of both premade and custom book covers at great prices on her website.
