Sanguine Paradise - Chapter 216
After reading all your comments and everything you have to say, I understand I should’ve done things differently and been a little clearer.
I love Sanguine Paradise for what it has been and I’m awed by how many people do too. Despite its technical mistakes, I realize it has accomplished many great things. But for me as a new and learning author, in recent days, the story has been more of a crutch than an outlet for my creative thinking.
With ******* chapters, Sanguine Paradise reaches nearly half a million words, an endeavor that has taken me a year to write. It would take me another one such endeavor to properly rewrite the entirety of the story or even finish it convincingly. The story has been always built as an incredibly open-ended story that can literally continue forever if I wished it to. I began writing it, never expecting it to reach the point it has, so even the thought of creating an ending has truly never occurred to me. There is even set-up for when Xavier outgrows his world. It would take me another entire year to convincingly finish the story, which is, unfortunately, unfeasible for me.
So on top of the 20 ahead of public release chapters that will be coming out in the next couple of days, I will write 1-2 new chapters for closure that might include a time-skip. It will be abrupt and it isn’t much, yet I hope it will offer some closure.
Again, thank you for having stuck with Sanguine Paradise for this long – it is truly all I could’ve ever asked for.
