Strangely enough, I'm on Google Chrome and I don't see the error on Castle Roland. Yes, this forum is insecure, but that's on InvisionZone.

Sorry, I misspoke. He's from North Ossetia, not Odessa. Also, I take no responsibility for your addiction. You have to realize that the author is writing for a platform, Webnovel.com, which pays him for the number of people who subscribe in order to read his work. As such, you realize that Guiltythree is extremely motivated to release bite-sized chapters, at an average rate of two chapters per day, which almost always end in a cliffhanger. 😁

He appears to have a deeply-immersive, thematic writing style. In particular, Kyle needs time to acclimate himself into the Kandric Universe before starting to write something new. Not surprising, since at this point you basically need help to keep everyone and everything straight.
-
There is no indication that Chapter 34 is even in progress. Sorry to say, you can't assume that Kyle writes one chapter per year, or even every two years.

It's been up since... December 24, 2021? https://castleroland.net/libraries/the-kandric-saga/34/

I stopped reading when the author began the fourth nightmare. I plan to stack chapters so I can read it in one go, once that book is finished. I don't know where the story is currently at, so I can't say whether it lost its way or not. But the structure seems clear to me. One book tackles the nightmare test, in which Sunny goes through hardship to gain power, followed by one or two books set outside it where Sunny consolidates and learns how to use his newfound power.

I'll be honest. For both Brile and O'Connell's Grenadiers to a lesser extent, I have no idea what's going on anymore. Kyle keeps introducing more and more new characters, which bogs down the story since these new characters are all getting their backstories revealed in a massive exposition dump. What's more, these exposition dumps are in the form of actual soliloquies that I can't imagine anyone actually giving. While this proves that Kyle excels in world building, I am starting to question whether he has a concrete plan to bring the stories to a timely and satisfactory conclusion, or will they simply be anthologies to accommodate an ever-expanding cast of characters I can no longer remember. 😅😅😅

I get you're excited, but you don't need to post it 3x
-
Brile is probably okay, but I think Grenadiers is not ready for publication, at least not without HEAVY rewriting on the first few chapters.
-
It's not uncommon for Kyle to go silent for months, even extending into well over a year, between posting any updates.
-
I don't think he can. It's Kyle's universe. He gets final say on everything, unless Rilbur wishes to risk some kind of falling out 😅

Just to set your expectations. It's an adventure story, so there's absolutely zero romance or sex in the 900+ 700+ chapters I've read thus far. Second, English isn't the writer's native language (he lives in North Ossetia, Russia), so expect some idiosyncrasies (though the English is still impeccable). Third, he's heavily influenced by games like Elden Ring and Dark Souls, which you'll notice soon enough. The dream world has RPG elements, and the power advancement system isn't quite as developed as Kyle's. Other than that, welcome to the Forgotten Shore. Hope you survive the experience 😜

Given that Revolutions started as a conservative reaction to the election of Barack "He's coming for our guns" Obama (whose intended expy was President Ashwood), it wasn't surprising that the election of President Trump (who was more Ashwood than Bryce) would derail the authors' keenness on continuing the stories. In other words, you can chalk this up to real life being much stranger than anything you can find in fiction. 😂 Incidentally, I read somewhere that Adventure Quest was supposed to be a collaborative universe where interested authors can write about the Zong adventures of their own IZTAZ teams. It ultimately fell through, and Kyle eventually reworked it into the adventures of Robin McDaniels the secret psionic...

Page navigation is broken. You can't go to Page 1 of this thread by clicking anywhere, for example. The only thing you can do is to change /page/2 to /page/1 in the address box. I think it's time for the site owners to consider a board system that's better than Invision 👀

Not necessarily. Kyle does plan ahead and may share future story beats with his collaborators. It is possible that Roland is told, in broad strokes, what will happen in future chapters on Kandric so he can sync Sands of Time better with it. But that doesn't mean the future Kandric chapters are written yet. If Roland writes stories based on this future info, he can't release them until Kyle finalizes events because of spoilers. I suspect this connected universe is why the Revolutions Universe withered away, since there is a progression of events that depends on specific authors to release stories on time. Either that or the election of Donald Trump put paid to the wisdom of having a conservative leader (Bryce) who's chummy with Russians, who are totally altruistic good guys. Interestingly, Xavier and company have appeared in the Kandric saga as cameos in early chapters (first published in the 1990s), with Sands of Time over a decade away. 😅
