Dear Readers,

  First and foremost, I apologize for the delayed release of the chapters.

  Initially, I wanted to write about authentic cultivation methods that are practiced in the real world. But, as we all know reality is quite boring when compared to fiction. So, I decided to write a novel incorporating those methods into my story. Please look forward to it. I plan to write that novel in the future. But currently I lack the confidence to go through it. Because the concepts are already boring, if my storytelling is also bad, then it will be a flop.

  To boost my confidence, I started a novel called "The Eye of Fate: Thoth’s Revelation." But I realized I hadn't researched enough for the story. So I temporarily halted that story. I do not want to destroy it because I think it is a good concept. I will continue it in the future if possible.

  After some thought, I thought of writing something much simpler. When I was in college, I came across a few concepts which made a bizarre impression on me. So, I decided to write a story based on those concepts. Therefore, I came up with this novel “The Eclipse Moons Grimoire - Lilith’s Whispers”. Those concepts will form the core of my story and they will be prevalent throughout my story. I plan on narrating them in Volume2 arc1.

  For a whole month after starting my novel, I really enjoyed this experience. I had fun losing myself in the world of imagination and creativity. But then I hit a snag. The story I wrote might cause problems for me on many platforms because of age restrictions and various other reasons. I am sure everyone can tell after reading the novel.

  When I was at a loss for what to do, I came across an internet comment posted by a user named sevenless from RR, “If an author can't even play gracefully with ideas, then he might as well put down the pen.”

  I really thank him for that. His comment has greatly inspired me and allowed me to think things through more flexibly and opened up new perspectives. Because of this, I had come up with new concepts and new storylines. My original story has become much better.

  This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.

  Other than him, I had taken many pieces of advice given by many writers on the internet. I sincerely express my gratitude to all of them.

  Of course, because of this I had to rewrite my entire draft. This is my first reason for my delay in releasing new chapters.

  During this period, I really lost myself and forgot the flow of time. If possible, I would have liked to continue immersing myself like this. But as usual, I came across my second hurdle, my job. Since I am only writing this novel as a hobby, I have to do my job to earn my living. Because of this I can't spend a lot of time on this.

  Previously I used to release a bunch of chapters every week. But I can't do it anymore. This is my second reason for the late release.

  After much internal struggle, I finally decided to release one or 2 chapters per week based on my convenience. If you don’t like cliff hangers or incomplete stories like me, maybe read the novel every month or two.

  And finally, I request readers to rate my novel, write a comment or give me your feedback according to your convenience, so that I could try and improve myself if possible. Not to mention, I am also curious about what people think about my work.

  By the way, I think I did not mention the names of volume and arcs.

  Volume 1 “Baroness”

  This is the end of Volume 1 Arc 1 “Gambit” (chapters 1 - 18)

  Next up: Volume 1 Arc 2 “Polaris”

  Thanks for your support.

  Sincerely,

  [The Rainy Imp]
