Welp, sorry to those of you who do like to read this little story of mine every week but I guess this is it.

I've spent almost a full year working on this story to date, both in preparation to post it and after that began, but I can't do this anymore.

Wait, I feel that came out a bit weird. To preface this, I should start by saying that the original premise of Arca Archa had been that of an Arknights inspired mobile game that I had been roped into story writing for. However, since that project never left the ground, this world had been left to gather dust. And it did, for a year in the furthest recesses of my mind until I finally decided to do something with it again. I repurposed the story so that it had a main character instead of a self insert. I restructured the world so that guilds were now government entities and the rifts connected to one static world. Etc.

However, even then, the amount of effort I allocated to it was simply on the level of "not wanting this world to go to waste." I wanted to get this idea out of my head so I can go back to working on my main story. As such, I wasn't exactly putting much attention in making it a highly polished product. However, the longer I write, the more I grow attached to the world.

Ever since I've gotten to about chapters 15-20 or so, I've had the gnawing sensation that there were a lot of things I could have done differently, how I could have done it better. I've even written these things down in a document, like how I lost focus on Edmond and Canaria so early on in the story even though they are supposed to be the main characters. However, I've always told myself that once I started publicly uploading it, I would not go back and rewrite anything. Because if I did, I would never get anywhere and I would be stuck constantly rewriting the same few chapters over and over again.

Yet, at the same time, the beginning chapters of a story are oh so vital to the tone of what it sets up. We're still quite early on into this story and I have plans for it to go on for years to come.

So yeah, be back soon. I'll leave the current chapters visible until I'm done reworking the story. After which, I'll post things quickly until we catch up again. It'll be better, this I promise. And to the handful of you who have been reading this every week, thank you, I appreciate seeing the funny view numbers go up.
