Alright guys… we made it to 100.
Honestly, when I started this, I didn't even think I would reach here. Not because I didn't believe in the story,but because I didn't know if I could stay consistent enough to build it properly.
This story didn't start as something perfect. It started as just an idea… a rough one. A few scenes in my head, some emotions I wanted to show, and a character I wanted to build properly instead of rushing like most stories do.
And if I'm being honest, when I look back at my earlier chapters, I can clearly see the flaws.
The pacing was off.
Some dialogues felt forced.
Some scenes didn't hit the way I wanted them to.
But I didn't stop.
I kept rewriting, fixing, changing things, and most importantly, learning while writing.
But my editor leo was damned, like I don't even know how he tolerates my trantrums and my scolding, and as u know we were a little delayed and were not consistent, that's because the story is hella big and we needed a little time to sort things out
• What I learned so far
One thing I understood clearly is this:
A story isn't just about "what happens."
It's about ""why it happens"".
Every action needs a reason.
Every fight needs weight.
Every character needs consequences.
That's something I didn't fully understand at the start… but now, I'm starting to get it.
And this arc, Elios' arc, was where I really started improving.
Not because of the fights.
But because of:
" the emotions
" the consequences
" and the slow change in him
,• The Struggle (yeah, there was a lot)
I'm not going to act like this was smooth.
There were times I felt like:
•the story was getting plain
• chapters didn't feel strong enough
• pacing felt weird
And sometimes I had to stop and rethink:
• "Is this actually good or am I just writing for the sake of writing?"
That part was important.
Because instead of ignoring it, I started fixing it.
• About the current arc
If you've been reading properly, you'll notice:
Elios isn't becoming stronger in a "cool" way.
He's changing in a ""dangerous way"".
And that's intentional.
This isn't a story where power = victory.
This is a story where:
> power comes with consequences
And what's happening right now?
This is just the beginning.
And you may feel it's a little boring as elios is just fighting goblins and trying out his me power but trust me guys, I have planned far ahead and wait to witness my writing
• Community & Progress
I also want to show something I didn't expect when I started.
Just 3 members and thoose are my frnds.
See my community, there is no progresslike look at the members, its soo low
And for my growth of my novel in different sites,
Scribble hub - 1. 5k veiws
Royal road - 6k views
Webnovel - 67k views
Seeing this grow, means a lot more than I expected.
All this data is from date may 2nd , 2026 and will increase in future
Not because of numbers.
But because it means:
• people are actually reading this
•people are following the story
• One thing I want to say
I'm still learning.
This isn't some "perfect novel."
But I'm making sure one thing stays true:
> I won't let the story become lazy.
No rushed powerups.
No meaningless fights.
No empty hype.
Everything will have a reason.
•What's next?
From here on, the story is only going to get:
" darker
" heavier
" more serious
Elios' arc is not even close to finished.
And what comes after that…
is on a completely different scale.
That's all for now.
We reached 100.
Now let's see how far this can go.
