Hello everyone, PhoenixLP here.
I suppose many of you already saw this coming, but sadly I don't think I'll be able to continue writing Astralis. Right now, I'm focused on my personal development: I'm in the final stretch of my studies, which takes up all my mornings, and I work in the afternoons. That leaves me barely enough time to sleep, let alone write.
The chapters I shared were written during vacation time, but now that free time is gone. This story was short, yet very meaningful to me, and I want to thank every reader who followed it, commented, and made me feel that my words were reaching someone.
A special thanks to Vmvs1, LewdEmperor00, NiceReader, XjoeCZ, Sarkos, Shadow, and many others who supported me and motivated me to keep going while I could.
As an avid reader myself, I always hated when a story was dropped or left unfinished. It frustrated me deeply—and now I feel terrible doing the same. I had so many ideas, notes, and plans to keep building this world, but for now I must prioritize my professional path.
I truly have no words to properly apologize to those who were waiting for more chapters. Even though you were few, you motivated me to keep writing, and for that I'm sincerely grateful.
If the chance ever comes, I would love to return to this story. Until then, I wish you all the very best in your own journeys and personal goals.
With gratitude,
PhoenixLP – an aspiring author
