Hey everyone!
So... remember when I said I was taking a official 1-month hiatus for The Dark Constellation: Ophiuchus?
Well, my brain apparently decided that 1 month actually equals 2.5 months. Life got pretty exhausting, burnout hit hard, and I ended up taking a much-needed break to recharge my creative batteries. Thank you all so much for your patience while I was away!
Now for the insane news: I originally promised a special chapter when we hit the 15k views milestone. But while I was off resting (and scrolling way too many reels), you guys kept reading, sharing, and completely blew past 15k... and now we are right on the doorstep of 20k views!
Because you all are incredible, I'm officially combining these two major milestones into One Massive 20k Celebration Special Chapter!
I'm stepping back into The 13th Star Lab Studio, dusting off my keyboard, and getting back to work. The special chapter is currently in the works, and I can't wait for you all to read it.
Thank you for sticking around, for reading, and for bringing Ophiuchus this far. Stay tuned—we're just getting started!
