Okay, hello everyone!
To start this off, this is well overdue for this series. In this "chapter," I'll be listing everything I can think of to add.
I would like to start by saying thank you all very much for reading this series during its time of release. The first five chapters of this series came out on March 31st, 2025.
Since then, I was releasing four chapters every week until it ended.
The reason I say that is because I've decided that I will be rewriting the series from the start.
Instead of following the exact same route, the rewrite will be quite different.
And so everyone here knows why I stopped uploading this series so suddenly, I'll post the reasoning below (you can skip it, tbh).

State of this series:
To be completely honest, I've lost motivation for it… for now, at least. I still have ideas I want to explore, but since I never really planned anything out ahead of time, most of the writing ended up being whatever came to mind in the moment. Looking back, that probably wasn't the best approach—especially with the added pressure of trying to release this and The Last Seven Absolute Principles at the same time. It's definitely taken a toll on my creativity and energy.
That said, I do enjoy this story, and I have a lot of notes and concepts I'd love to eventually bring to life. But for the time being, don't expect another chapter for a while (if ever). I want to apologize to everyone who's supported this series—from those who bookmarked it before the first official chapter dropped to everyone who's stuck with it up to now. Thank you so much for giving it your time and interest—it means a lot.
There are definitely a lot of flaws throughout the story—some parts feel rushed or random, and I'm still not sure how I feel about them. I guess this whole experience has been one of those "fail and learn" moments. I'm still figuring out how to properly structure a story, and I don't have a solid system in place to track events or timelines yet, which is probably why things feel a bit all over the place. At least, it did to me.
Thanks again for all the support.

Besides writing The Last Seven Absolute Principles, there were actually several other reasons why I decided to take a break. At the time, I had quite a lot going on in real life that affected my creative process and brought my energy down quite a bit.
But moving on from all of that, I'd like to get into the future of this series—some things that will be different, and all that good stuff.
The world of Cresbel will remain the same (if you're unsure what this is, please check out Chapter 0 – The Chronicles of Cresbel).
The system will be rebuilt, and some aspects of it will either be revamped or completely removed. I'll also try to make the system better for Celestia.
(One thing that will definitely be revamped is the whole "Seals" concept.)
Her backstory may also be altered.
Leveling will be revamped as well, with progression being faster(might just be removed as well).
Do expect this new version of Celestia to be a bit darker than the one from this series. I realized that despite her being labeled a "villainess," she didn't actually commit many villainous deeds. The main one I remember is the elf genocide, and that was near the end, really.
There was also the manipulation of Lord Cedric Vale, the ruler of Dawnmire, and influencing Rosaline's beliefs (if I'm remembering correctly.)
But other than that, I can't really recall many villainous actions.
I'm not entirely sure how dark I'll go with her yet, or what her limits will be. I might not give her any limits at all—but I'll leave that up to you all. Would you prefer her to have some kind of moral code, things she absolutely won't do, or should anything be on the table as long as it provides useful to her goal? I'm still figuring that out, so I'd love to hear your thoughts.
I'm also not sure what to do for her goal yet. I'm thinking about keeping it as something like world domination, but I honestly have no idea at this exact moment.
In the rewrite, there'll be more manipulation of those around her, more bloodshed, and possibly more fights.
As for the brothers Zoan and Bril, since I liked them quite a lot, I'll be adding them into the story as well. Where exactly, I'm not sure yet, since I'll be starting the first chapter of the rewrite after I upload this update.
They'll also be changed a bit, along with their abilities.
Now, here's a question for everyone, if you read this series and remember them, did you like them? If so, is there anything you'd like me to keep?
I don't want to rewrite everything about any of my characters if you, the readers, enjoyed those aspects of them.
If there's a certain trait or detail you liked about a character, please let me know. I'd hate to change something too much and turn a character you really enjoyed into your least favorite because of it.
I don't think there's anything else I want to share right now, but if you have any questions at all, please feel free to ask in the comments!
