NOVEL NEXT 📢 FYI, My Suffering Has a Fanbase Now 📢
*Mo appears in a flash of rose-gold light, holding what appears to be a crumpled piece of paper with "AUTHOR NOTES" scrawled across the top*
So, um, I found this weird scroll in the Forbidden Archives while researching how to make my Villainous Monologuing professor stop hexing students for yawning. Apparently, this "author" person is documenting my life? Which is just... perfect. Because clearly what I needed on top of a provisional coronation, goblin tax reform, and my magic having performance issues was an interdimensional voyeur.
*adjusts her signet ring nervously*
Look, I know you're scared to see any author's announcement, because they usually say they plan to disappear. Or is that wrong? Yeah, they often disappear even without an announcement.
Anyway, I'm just the messenger here, but this "author" wants you to know they're not abandoning the chronicles of my academic suffering. Book 1—which apparently covers the first third of my first year at this nightmare school—will wrap up around Chapter 26. What would that be, early June, in your world? Then they're taking a two-week break to "regroup," which I'm guessing means "drink coffee and cackle about what fresh hell Mo goes through next." Ah, they drink tea, right? Such a snob.
Oh, and apparently we've crossed some 700-follower threshold? The author seems really excited about this, so if you haven't "followed," or "favorited," or whatever, maybe do that? I mean, I don't particularly care if more people witness my magical meltdowns and panic attacks, but apparently, it "massages the author's ego," and honestly, after what they've gone through with me, they could use some therapy.
A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
*mutters* Villain school was bad enough without an audience...
So, anyway, Book 2 will cover the Yule break (oh, gods, please let me go back to Earth for the holidays) and the winter term. And—wait, what's this part? *squints at paper* Nyx won some kind of popularity contest? Of course they did. Shapeshifting, diplomatic skills, AND fan favorite. Meanwhile, I'm over here just trying not to accidentally mind-control anyone before breakfast.
Apparently, there's going to be a Nyx spin-off during Yule break, which makes sense because they're definitely the most interesting one of us. Though if this "author" reveals any of Nyx's secrets without permission, I will find a way to cross dimensions and dump enchanted coffee on their laptop.
*sighs and tucks the note into her messenger bag*
Anyway, that's the update. If you want more chapters sooner, there's a "Patreon" thing? I don't know what that is, but it sounds like some kind of demonic patronage system, which tracks.
I should probably get back to my "Advanced Cackling" homework before the professor notices I'm gone. Last week, someone got a D- for "insufficient malevolent resonance" and had to do remedial evil laughter exercises in front of the entire class.
*starts to leave, then turns back*
Oh, and if anyone's shipping me with anyone... just... don't tell me. I have enough problems without knowing what you all think of my sex life. Or lack thereof.
*disappears in another flash of rose-gold light, leaving behind a faint scent of cinnamon and old books*
