《The Crystal Dungeon》Author's Corner: sad and happy news
Advertisement
Hello its the author here. For the past week I've been dealing with the loss of one of my best friends and a close family member. I threw myself into work and just blanked for a while as well, but I've finally returned to my little tale. The schedule will be a bit wonky for the next month, I will be traveling, but fear not for there won't be anymore "huge" pauses. Instead the story will continue in bursts of 4-5 chapters a day once a week. This is because I won't exactly be certain of wifi and so forth. instead I will write the chaptters on word and then upload the completed ones to royal road whenever I have the chance to do so. This will begin arouind next week when I leave.
Thank you for sticking with me,
an Infantile Treant

Not as it seems
Stranded inside the world he'd been writing about for years, Arwen is left at the mercy of the characters and setting he'd so lovingly created. Now trapped and powerless save for his knowledge of the secrets the world holds, he has to find his way back home. Hopefully to make it there in one piece. But things aren't going to be easy, as the further he plunges into his world, the more he will realize things aren't quite what he thought them to be. This story is a case study on a realistic approach to isekai as well as what it means to "know" someone / something, and to "KNOW" them. There will be hard themes and uncomfortable truths, and just like with real life, it will show things as they are unfiltered.

This world was quite the wonder, with its culture, technology, it was totally different from his previous world where weak and mortal were considered less than trash. He especially liked the Internet thing, god knows how addicted he became to insta reels, surfing for hours, and watching web-show, dramas. otherworldy fairies with no comparison would sing and dance for him free, life was truly awesome here. Among all the things he liked reading web-novel, he jokingly compared his experience with the main character where they send to the magical world, becoming extraordinary powerful, he frowned wasn't he the exact opposite? "..." "So am I like a waste product of this... boy" "he got Isekaied, WTF" he laughed, thinking all this. hadn't he left all this stuff behind, so why waste time thinking this, now he will enjoy his slow life. ------ Unknown to him, how heaven's were playing game with him, it was like feeding the sheep with luxury before butchering him. Would he be able to survive that?
