I know you guys won't take this news well, but what's done is done. Due to my repeated failures in establishing a satisfactory readerbase on Royalroad, I really had no other way except to take a gamble.

  I've taken the contract offered by Webnovel for this story...not the exact same one, really, but eh, the effect is more or less than same. On Royalroad, a story as old as Ashes of Heaven would never make it, but I love this story too much to abandon it in the drafts.

  I had a grand vision to capture in words, and I want to do it without feeling the pinch of a hobby that takes up so much time and energy with almost no returns. I have never been above the broke-phase in life. The recent spike of financial stress in real life is probably what hammered in the final nail, though I doubt I'll be making much on WN anyway. I just knew I had to shift lanes.

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

  Of course, I must thank all of the patrons who donated for the story in my Patreon, especially FlamesofDespair, CatInAPot, Bruno Borges, and InumitoVD. I can only offer my sincerest apologies to you all for not finishing the story there.

  And another group I must thank is everyone who reviewed and commented on Ashes of Heaven. You guys kept me going for three years. I feel that I have failed to return the favor with a proper finishing of the story.

  This is it, I guess. This is the endpoint of this version of Ashes of Heaven. I don't know if you'll like the version available on Webnovel (as I've said earlier, the story veers off by a great degree, and has some elements tailored for the junk-novel fans on that platform).

  That's why I considered not telling any of you about it for months now. But I guess ghosting you guys like this is worse in a way, since you'd still be checking in here from time to time.

  So, in spite of my failings, if you still want to see Han Xuhan kick the ass of the Celestial Court, you can give the WN version a shot. I'll rehash a shitton of the same material, so the updates will catch up to this version's progress in no time. The link is attached below.
