Will There Be A Sequel To SEVENFOLD SWORD ONLINE: CREATION?

A few people have asked if I intend to write a sequel to SEVENFOLD SWORD ONLINE: CREATION, and if so, when.

The answer is “maybe”, and it’s edging bit by bit towards “increasing possibility.”

After I posted the first two chapters on my website, I had a few emails along the lines of “how did Calliande get transported into a video game” that made me wonder if CREATION had been a bad idea that was just going to confuse people. Because sometimes you think something is a good idea, only it turns out not to be, and you get confused emails about it for, like, years.

Fortunately, the book had a stronger launch than I anticipated, and the initial feedback has been mostly positive. Thanks for reading, everyone!

However, CREATION needs to hit a specific sales figure within 30 days to make writing a sequel viable, and as of this writing it’s 40% of the way there.

This is less about “the book needs to sell or I will starve”, and more about determining if it’s a good use of writing time or not. Like, people are waiting for the next DRAGONSKULL, the next Nadia book, the next SILENT ORDER, and I often get emails asking if I will start another Caina series. Is it really a good idea to try to start a LitRPG series and take time away from the other books?

Fortunately, ideas can be tested in the wild to see if they are good or bad. The easiest way to determine that is see how CREATION sells in its first 30 days.

Basically, CREATION needs to stay either 2nd or 1st on this list until March 12th.

So we’ll see what happens.

Once again, thanks for reading, everyone!
