After a very long battle of my thoughts, countless pros and cons, convincing of people and not seeing any results.
I've made the decision.
Born of Ash, Crowned by Fate was my first ever novel, and as they say, you learn from your mistakes.
I feel like I've failed as an author, writing should be fun for me as well as for the readers, and now I finally see, neither of us have fun when it comes to Born of Ash.
It has been almost 9 months since I started writing and I can say, it was fun – at least at first. As the time went on, I've started relying more and more on Artificial Intelligence, and I hated it. Using AI made me realize how empty it can make the chapters, how emotionless and shallow they looked without the author touch and care.
I've decided to end it now.
Volume 2 - Chapter 12 of Born of Ash, Crowned by Fate will be released on January 4 th 2026 and it will be the last chapter when it comes to this novel, as for the best and worst.
Soon, I'll start writing again, this time – without any help of AI, it will be truly my story, no matter how bad people will think it is, or how good, I'll write it for myself to prove myself and others that when I want – I can.
For the people reading it on any publishing sites I've posted it –
Thank you, for reading, for rating and being with me throughout the months – some better, some worse – when it came to Born of Ash.
That'll be it for now, thank you for all the love and support, see you soon.
Parazeq, out.
