That Time I Got Reincarnated as a King (Old Version)

Hey everyone,

First, thank you. If you've read all the way through to the end of Volume 3, you've stuck with me through a messy but passionate journey. That means more than I can put into words.

I want to be honest with you. This story — as it stands — wasn't executed the way I hoped. I had a plan. I had arcs, threads, character moments I cared deeply about… but I was still a new writer learning the ropes, and I stumbled. A lot.

Looking back, I can see where I rushed things. Where characters like Nyaro suddenly appeared without proper introduction. Where pacing dropped off, or too much was dumped all at once without room to breathe. Those aren't little mistakes — they're signs that I grew faster than the early version of this story could keep up.

If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement.

That's why I'm officially ending this version at Volume 3.

But I'm not giving up.

I'm rebuilding everything from the ground up — not just editing, but rewriting with proper pacing, stronger emotion, and character arcs that actually land. The world of Velaria still lives. Kael's journey still burns. I just want to tell it the way it deserves to be told.

The remake will launch soon with a brand-new Volume 1 — and I promise it'll be tighter, clearer, and far more rewarding to read.

If you've made it this far, thank you for sticking with me.

If you're willing to take the journey again when it relaunches — I'll make sure it's worth it.

With fire and gratitude,

— Zachary Koogler
