Hello everyone! Though I've been far from as responsive to comments as I would have preferred throughout the upload period, I do intend to go back and answer many questions and respond to comments that pique my interest.

  Going forward, Book 3 is going to be a little bit different. Unlike Book 1 and Book 2, the story takes a bend toward the more traditional web novel format. That is to say, it's much, much longer, and with a slower pace that allows for more varied character moments. I hope you'll enjoy the format shift, as I know that a strong subsection felt that the story focused too heavily on war and conflict over interpersonal moments. Those that have come to love my action scenes, however? Don't worry. There will be plenty of those. And as the story progresses, so too will the stakes and understanding of the greater world of APPTV.

  I'd also like to let you all know that I have a fairly active Discord already! It's one I'm incredibly active on myself, to the point I often have to announce that I'm "banning myself from Discord to go write" so that others will hold me to avoiding my distractions. When you join, please note that the "Latest Chapter" channel is up to date on the Ao3 releases, not Scribble Hub, and thus will contain all kinds of spoilers. If you'd like to chat about the test Scribble Hub release, you'd be best served by only perusing the "APPTV-Reread" channel.

  I also have a Patreon! My goal is to eventually become a full-time professional writer, and, thanks to the lower CoL area I'm in, that's not an unreasonable goal for me to achieve via Patreon alone. If you'd like to support me— and get new chapters 1 week early— you can join below.

  Tomorrow starts the daily posts of Book 3! Don't worry, there's still more than enough to catch up on. If you join the server, feel free to ask me virtually any question about APPTV, and especially feel free to provide feedback on the story. I'm practically a masochist for any and all kinds of literary criticism; it's the best way to improve, after all.

  Thank you for reading the story!
