Hello everybody,

Today is the big day. We have officially arrived at the end of Skill-Eater Volume 1. I hope that you enjoyed Edge's adventures and am thrilled to have had you along for the ride. It's always a special experience to start a new series, it's both exciting and a little bit scary. But having so many of you offer such wonderful support really feels good. So thanks, I couldn't have made it this far without you. I have a few announcements to make regarding formatting and schedule adjustments, along with some big news to share.

But before we get to that, I have a favor to ask. If you haven't had a chance to leave a rating or review yet, and would be willing to do it now, I would super appreciate it. It helps fresh eyes find the story and reviews from people who have read the full book really help. And if anyone could leave a full (multi-category) review and help boost my stars in some of the subcategories, you will have my deepest thanks.

With that out of the way, on to the it's time for some announcements. First on the list is the timetable for volume 2.

This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

I am taking a few days off to see my family and get caught up on editing. The chapter 0 recap will be on Monday February 3rd, and chapter 1 of book 2 will come out on Tuesday, February 4th. If you want to get a head start on the next book, check out my patreon.

Some structural changes are coming with book 2, most notably a small adjustment to the release schedule. For book 2, I am going with a (significantly) longer chapter format. I will only be posting 4 days a week (M, T ,Th ,F), but the average word count per week is going up and the book should come out about two weeks faster than volume 1. There might still be a shorter chapter every now and again, but the minimum word count per chapter is also going up by over 300 words. I think this will make for a smoother reading experience overall and I hope you enjoy the change.

The other big news is that the series sold, so at least the first three books are getting published and made into audiobooks too (and more if they do well). As a result, I had an editor take a look and suggest some changes.

Going forward:

-Skills will be capitalized instead of bolded.

-Magtech is magitech.

-Edge's profiles are getting tweaked format wise.

-Other small miscellaneous formatting changes (such as removing the [ ] from Overdrive.)

Thanks for everything. See you soon for the start of book 2.
