Almost two years ago, I started publishing Unfortunate Transmigrator, and upon reaching “Chapter 5: Is Your Head Fine?”, I disappeared. What happened was that, at the time, I hadn’t finished outlining Unfortunate Transmigrator; I had only outlined some characters, certain aspects of the setting, and part of the plot. Because I was in a hurry to start publishing again, however, I convinced myself that the little I had done was sufficient and started publishing the story. After I published the fourth chapter, however, I realized that I had gotten ahead of myself; the little I had outlined was nowhere near enough. That’s why I put the story on hiatus and restarted working on their outlines.

As I didn’t want to repeat the mistake of publishing a story before I was ready, I decided that I would only start publishing the story again once I had it fully outlined (in terms of character, setting, and plot) as well as a substantial stockpile of chapters—and that’s precisely what I did. All in all, it took me nearly two years, but I believe it was worth it. This time around, I’m here to stay—there will be no more hiatuses or breaks. Not only do I now know exactly what I’m going to write—which means I couldn’t write myself into a corner even if I wanted to—but I also spent too much time and effort on Unfortunate Transmigrator to discontinue it. Nothing short of death can stop me from seeing it through to completion.

As I’ve made too many changes to the story to simply edit the chapters already uploaded, I’ve created new pages for the new versions of Unfortunate Transmigrator. I’ll be deleting the old entry of the story (the one this announcement was published in) a month from now. You can find the new entry of the story in my profile (the old entry will have “(Discontinued Version)” added to its title, whereas the new entry will just have its original title).

Throughout the next few weeks, I’ll be publishing chapters of Unfortunate Transmigrator following an accelerated schedule of 1 chapter per day at 8:12 AM Eastern Time to give the story some momentum. After I’ve gone through my stockpile of chapters, I’ll be changing the upload schedule to 1 chapter every Tuesday and Saturday (still at 8:12 AM ET), each chapter being usually between 2,000 and 3,000 words long. Later on, I might increase the number of chapters I’ll be publishing per week, but for now, that’s what I have planned.

On a related note, to those of you who are unaware, Unfortunate Transmigrator is actually an adaptation of sorts of another story of mine, Cultivation Done Right, which can be found on Scribble Hub—another web serial publishing platform, where I also publish. I recommend looking up the story and checking out the last two announcements. For those that can’t be bothered to do so, what you should know is that Unfortunate Transmigrator is actually a rewrite of Cultivation Done Right, so this new rewrite that I’m announcing is actually the second rewrite of this story—that is, my third attempt (and as they say, the third time’s the charm). If, for some reason, you decide to read Cultivation Done Right, please bear in mind that I wrote it over three years ago, so I’ve improved as a writer since then.

TL;DR: I’m back, and I apologize for taking so long. I’ve started rewriting Unfortunate Transmigrator, and you can find the new version of the story in my profile.
