Well, this was an eventful month. I spent the past 6 days fixing up the first ~30 chapters of Casual Heroing's rewrite after getting some feedback. Might also give them a few do-overs before they land on RR, but the story feels good.

I have ~44 chapters in the backlog and I'll have many more by the time I actually get publishing.

On that note, I have decided on a date by virtue of the fact that I have worked myself to death past Christmas to pump chapters out and, for all I'd like to do the same, I don't think my girlfriend would agree. Therefore, I shall be out on holiday for a week during Christmas and come back on January 2nd.

Casual Heroing was first released on December 9th, 2021. And to be honest, I love cheesiness, and it would have been great to release the same exact day this year. However, it would put me in a very awkward spot, life-wise.

I'll release the chapters the same day I'm coming back, January 2nd. If there's any slow-down because of RR's approval system, perhaps the 3rd.

I have decided not to release the last chapters 274-304 publicly because they have a lot of material that might change. I don't want people to go into the rewrite with the wrong expectations. Also, and this might be a little spoiler for some, some of the stuff that happens in Volume 4 of the current version will most likely be moved into the rewrite around Volume 2.

Volume 1 rewrite has a different, much denser story than the one you read. There are all the characters you learned to love and more. Expect a lot of new content since out of the 84,000 words I currently have on my document, less than 30,000 come from the first version. From chapter 25 onward, specifically, less than 2,000 words have been re-used. Imagine that.

Also, each volume and individual chapter is going to be much longer than before. I hope you'll have a great time!

So, I'll see you on January 2nd!
