"What do you mean, it's impossible?!"
Forced to realise that I didn't really have any real court for myself, I was trying to slowly build it with the people I trusted the most, yet just the first meeting of what I hoped to remodel from a simple advisory council into a proper court instantly turned into a disaster.
"If we use paper to make those acts, what will stop anyone from making them by themselves? While minting the coin is against the law, if we could somehow use our production means to create something no one else would be capable of reproducing, it could work way better. The other way to go about it is to start from the bottom."
Hearing Matsu's arguments, I couldn't help but agree with them silently, yet the fact that my idea shattered the second it was put against the reality of the current times still made me quite angry and disappointed.
Overall, about the recent stall of the updates.
I kinda lost the drive. Maybe due to moving back to the city, maybe for some other reasons, I found it hard to focus on writing and do anything more than 100 words at once. Is it the retribution for how hard I worked past few months?
I don't know. Even the fact that I got Grammarly premium is not helping, as I feel forced to use it to its maximum capacity right now, putting even greater strain on my fingers and how long does it take for me to write a single chapter.
Obviously, I'm not dropping the novel. What I will most likely drop thought, is the idea of writing the missing chapters.
I'm sorry guys, even I have a limit to how much I can endure, and the shtload of matters I gotta take care off right now was the straw that broke the Sloth's neck.
So all I can ask, is for you to bear with me, as we are stepping in the second arc and volume of the story! (chap 185 marks the new arc)
