The title I mentioned is being translated into English and published by Seven Seas Entertainment once every 3 months 😅 True, but Mushoku Tensei started it's life over with the eastern audience before it was translated into Jobless Reincarnation over here. Hell it's even got an Anime right now. For a business, the proof of concept and profit would outweigh any controversial aspects. The Kandric Saga would fit right into that space in my opinion. You give it some Anime style artwork and publish it over there, it wouldn't seem out of place at all. Get enough sales going, then Western publishers would want to do it. Or hell, repackage it and sell it directly to the anime audience online. You could even pitch it as a yaoi and keep EVERYTHING as is, though that is a smaller audience.

Zergrinch Posted November 21, 2021 Report Share Posted November 21, 2021 Can't be that hard to give it anime-style artwork. Just find a yaoi artist on Pixiv who does fantasy stuff and commission them to make 5 or 6 drawings, including the cover. Then just slap them into this here PDF and boom 😁. I suppose the only issue is that Kandric Saga isn't an isekai, and the main character is connected too deeply to the world (he's got a grandfather and a long heritage) to be easily converted into an isekai character.

Emperor Roland Posted December 12, 2021 Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 Okay everyone, it is happening. The next Kandric 'chapter' (more like two or more novels) will be published on 24 December. I would really like people to add in how long it took them to read it. i am just really curious. I hope this warning gives you enough time to schedule time off of work if you need it. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Norris Posted December 12, 2021 Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 December 24th. Christmas Eve. A special update that evening will include any Christmas/Holiday stories the Castle receives, along with Kandric, the 33rd Tome... It's way to big to be called a mere chapter!

Zergrinch Posted December 25, 2021 Report Share Posted December 25, 2021 Finished it in 3 days. Formatted the whole thing in a novel sized 6x9 pdf with size 14 font. It came to a little under 1,100 pages and I read around 400 pages per day on my phone. Gave some entertainment on days 5 through 7 of no electricity. (My City got hit hard with a Category 5 so couldn't use a computer, lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougindy Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 Has Kyle given any indication as to what time frame we might see future installments of Kandric? Hopefully we don't have to wait a year (or 3) for the next chapter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Norris Posted January 26, 2022 Report Share Posted January 26, 2022 I'm a bit late, but no. Kyle has given us no idea when he might get back to the Kandric Saga. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard Posted January 29, 2022 Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 This latest chapter took a long time but it was also quite long and spent over a month at editors too. There isn't a time frame of when the next might come so we cannot expect another long chapter quickly, unless he does like he has done on Adventure quest lately and post some short chapters.

Now may be a good time to start a re-read to make sure everything is fresh in your minds... lol. Hello....so I been following you for about over a decade now. I know you said chapter 33 is off to the editor and when do you think they will be done with it. I can be patient and eager to find out what happened.... heck I would probably start again on chapter 1 even though I have read your story more than any other book in history and keep coming back to the same cliff hanger.

Mr.Beast Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 Sorry I meant chapter 34. It's been over a year I thought I read it was near completion. Sorry for miss writing. 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougindy Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 Has anyone ever asked Kyle what his writing process is? Does he just get a muse for a particular story and sit down and write a couple pages and then put it away and then maybe 2 weeks later he has a thought about a different story and writes a couple pages of that? Or does he decide "i feel like writing a chapter of Adventure Quest" and then just focuses on that until he finishes? Just kinda curious does he have partially finished chapters of multiple stories sitting around and just whenever he happens to finish one it goes to the editors and gets released or is he more singularly focused on one story at a a time.

Zergrinch Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougindy Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 I don't doubt that at all. Anytime i hear a new chapter of Kandric is coming i usually start reading 3 or 4 chapters back to remind myself what was going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 Unfortunately we have not heard anything about new chapter coming in Kandric, you probably have plenty of time to reread the whole thing even. We did get a couple on adventure quest but adventure quests is mostly short chapters, likely the whole story so far together is shorter than most kandric chapters. There was also a Brile that came out that I haven't read yet. That is the extant I believe of what we got in the last year to be sure I would need to check the date of the last posted chapter of Grenadier.

Demented Posted August 7 Report Share Posted August 7 Don't mind me, just doing my periodic check to see if there's any news about Kandric. I saw some movement with the Beyond the Crags story which is related, so I'm hoping that's a good sign. Any other author I'd be worried after a hiatus like this, but this one is sort of known for the long wait times, especially with how massive the "chapters" tend to be.
