《KING OF BEASTS (ON HIATUS)》Update - Writing. Life. Future.

Hey everyone, I hope you're all doing well.
I decided it's been a while since I really updated everyone on the state of King of Beasts, my writing and such.
King of Beasts has surpassed 300,000 words, which is mind blowing to me. Every so often I'll check and think about what I have actually achieved.
I went back to read my first few chapters and I didn't realise they were that bad. I expected them to not be great, but... it was a shock to be sure.
I've been writing in between a number of other projects as a way to put ideas to paper, so you may see even more from me soon. I did have another project that I was hinting at in the last update, but I've started a few more and I'm not entirely certain which project I want to post up here yet so I'll think about that more often.
I think it's a good idea to mention that I am going through some health issues and have been for some time now. There may come days where I miss a chapter or two so i hope you'll bear with that.
In terms of what the future holds for King of Beasts, I'm not sure. I'll be editing some of the earlier chapters since they were that bad and I can see why so many people have dropped off. I won't be changing any of the huge plot points, but some of the easy stuff that I was going to go back and edit I'll go and edit, and I'll work on my prose too.
I hope that everyone is having a good time with my work, I'm really enjoying my time writing it. I've ntoiced that I've focused a lot on slice of life, and I think it's gotten to be a little too much so just you wait and see what the next few chapters hold.

Thank you for everyone that has been reading, I will continue to do my best with my writing. If there are any questions that you have about the story, or anything you want to criticise, go ahead and let me know in the comments.
All the best,

Avalon
Earth and Avalon have always been linked, two planes of existence, two worlds forever revolving one another. The bridge between can easily be found if one knows where to look. Avalon is a land of purity, and its inhabitants will do anything necessary to keep it that way. Humanity has always been viewed a stain, a disease that threatens the border, and so the Nephilim, winged warriors of Avalon, rose to beat back the spread of a destructive, sinful virus. Mydaiel is just entering the folds of the sisterhood, having completed her training, she is ready to join the hunt and spill blood as Avalon dictates she do until her final, dying breath. It is a great sacrifice and great honor, and she is proud to take the mantle. But corruption can come from anywhere and the hunts have grown increasingly dangerous, that her first may not go entirely as planned. Join the story where two worlds collide in a painful, bloody battle that threatens to become an all out genocide.
8 84The Mantle
Perrin, a former SF operator, turned programmers life goes to crap. Shortly after finding out he's married to a goddess and a cat, he is forced to go into a portal to save himself from a biblical battle going down in his RV park. He must learn to survive in a game world that is set on taking him out. A mysterious past unfolds as he searches for the exit. A finished and much more improved version of this story will hopefully be published soon. Since it started here, I decided to rerelease the chapters I wrote.
8 96Paragon of Light

8 188Myrr: Reincarnated Timemage Assassin
“A cute Half-Wraith magic tutor who hugs my worries away and tells me I’m a genius, a loving auntie who beats the way of the assassin into me while guarding me from demons, and a sperm-less uncle who can’t have kids of his own because he gets beaten so bad by said auntie. I…was really messed up in my past life. But with so much help, I think I might be able to smile in this one. This is a story about beautiful mistakes!” On Earth, I was a filthy-rich, depressed loner. I single-handedly bankrupted six casinos using my ability to see the future. My girlfriend was just using me for my money. I was just using her to appear normal. I trusted no one. Until that girl came. After I saved her...for some reason, I was reincarnated as a baby in another world. It seems I'm really good at magic here. But seeing into the future is a lot tougher in this life. And even if I can peek a few seconds ahead... I can't help but ask, "Why is everyone so freaking strong? I thought all girls were useless gold-diggers!" But seriously, I think I've been saved by every girl I've met in this world. My auntie hopes that I become a self-replenishing bank account...err powerful mage. She's willing to do anything for me, even pay for my education with her retirement money! Everyone here is so...selfless. It's really challenging just to survive each day. Life is way tougher than on Earth...but for some reason...I think I want to smile?
