Hi everyone! 😊❤️
First of all, I want to sincerely thank the reader who took the time to leave such a detailed review of Act One. 🙏✨
Honestly, reviews like this mean a lot to me. It is one thing to know that someone enjoyed the story, but getting such thoughtful feedback about the characters, pacing, humor, fighting style, narrative flow, and formatting is incredibly valuable.
I was especially happy to hear that someone could binge the entire act in one evening. ❤️ And yes, the “Academy arc let's gooooo!” definitely made me smile. 🔥
I also want to genuinely thank you for pointing out the problems.
The typos are definitely there. 😭 I was already aware that I needed to go back and fix them, but because of my IRL work and responsibilities, I had to put that on hold for now.
The same goes for the narrative flow and formatting.
I completely understand the feedback about using too many short and repetitive sentences. I like using short sentences when I want a particular moment to have more impact, but I can see how using them too frequently can eventually become tiring to read.
The dialogue formatting is something I also need to fix. I definitely do not want readers to wonder whether two characters are speaking when it is actually one character continuing a longer speech. 😅
So rather than simply fixing a few typos and moving forward, I want to properly revise Act One.
Once I am free from my current IRL work, which should be within a maximum of 15 days from now, I will start going through Act One chapter by chapter. 📝📖✨
My revision plan is to
📌 Fix typos, spelling mistakes, grammar issues, punctuation, and other small errors.
📌 Improve the overall narrative flow and make the prose smoother.
📌 Rework sentence and paragraph structures where necessary, while keeping short sentences where they actually add impact.
📌 Clean up dialogue formatting so it is always clear who is speaking.
📌 Revisit confusing sections and clarify them without changing what I originally intended.
📌 Look at transitions and pacing to make the reading experience more natural and immersive.
📌 Finally, read through the act again from a reader's perspective and try to catch things I may have missed as the person who wrote it.
The story of Act One itself is complete. This revision is about polishing the way that story is presented and making it cleaner, clearer, smoother, and more enjoyable to read. ❤️
For the side story chapter, I probably will not do the same extensive revision. I may fix some obvious mistakes, but if I get the chance, I might add a little extra fun material to it instead. 😂✨
I also want to thank everyone who has supported this story so far.
Every view, comment, review, bookmark, message, and even the people who simply continue reading quietly mean more to me than you might think. 🙏❤️
Your support, along with honest feedback like this, gives me a reason to keep improving rather than simply moving forward and leaving the earlier chapters behind.
I am still learning as a writer, and I hope that improvement will become something you can feel as the story continues.
Once the revision of Act One is finished, I will see you all in Act Two.
The Entrance Exam Act. 🎓🔥
There is a lot waiting for Lucian.
New people. New friendships. New enemies. New challenges. New mysteries.
And perhaps a few characters who will happily remain somewhere in that wonderful grey area between friend and enemy. 👀
I have many things planned for this story, including some ideas I have been carrying around in my head for a very long time. I hope I can slowly bring all of them to life and continue delivering stories that are fun, exciting, emotional, and occasionally ridiculous in the best possible way. 😂❤️
There is still a long road ahead for Lucian.
I intend to keep walking that road with him until he finally earns the happy life he deserves and until all the mysteries I have planned are finally resolved. 🌙✨
So once again, thank you for reading, supporting, and staying with Lucian. ❤️🙏
For now, I have some IRL responsibilities to finish.
After that, it is time to return to Act One, give it the revision it deserves, and prepare for the Entrance Exam Act.
Until then, take care everyone! 😊❤️
I'll see you all in Act Two. ✨📖🔥
P.S. Apparently, writing an entire act is easier than writing a 5,000 character announcement about it. 😭😂
