Hey guys, AceGreen here. Just a quick update on volume 4. In short: I’m not gonna hit the February 15 launch date. I’m sorry to disappoint anyone who might have been waiting for TRAS to start back up again, and I know it sucks for the break to be extended. I’m tempted to give you guys a date for story’s return, but I’d hate to miss it again, so I’ll just say that I’m hard at work at it and it’s coming soon. This won’t be a break that goes on forever.

  Editing volume 1 and getting ready for the launch has taken a lot more time and effort than I expected. The good news is it’s coming out great and it should be out to Amazon by mid-March—which means it’ll stub around then too! I’m really excited for it. I’ve said this before, but it’s even truer now: the ebook version of the Saintess arc is a huge improvement on the original. With in-volume illustrations and two new short stories, I’d go so far as to say it’s 25 percent better. Once I have the page up on Amazon I’ll put out the official stub announcement.

  This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

  All in all, I’ll say this: I’m really excited for the future of TRAS. I’ve been hitting the grind, both working on volume 4 and planning out future arcs. The break has given me more time to do the kind of planning I like to do and which I think gives you guys the best story. I plan to come out of it with lots of outlines, plans, and a big backlog, which I think’ll be the best thing in the long run.

  I hope you guys are doing well, and I hope you guys had a great holiday season too. While I’m here: Happy New Year, guys! It’s a bit late, but I hope 2026’ll be a good year for everyone.
