Release Schedule Poll – Have Your Say!

  I don’t have a great way to post announcements, so they have to come in the form of chapters—hope you don’t mind!

  First of all, thank you so much for reading this series. I hope Emily and Daniel’s journey brings you as much joy as it does for me while writing. Seriously, I appreciate all of you who have taken the time to read and invest in this story.

  I know it’s not the usual "dopamine hit" web novel. It’s a slow-burn, introspective, and cerebral journey. The fact that you stuck with it means the world to me.

  I have the rest of Volume 3 drafted and ready for first-pass edits as of March 4, 2025.

  If there’s enough demand, I can speed up releases to 3-4 chapters per week.

  The trade-offs:

  ? Faster uploads – More content, sooner!

  ? Less time for polishing – There may be some minor repetition or redundancies.

  ? Potential hiatus after Volume 3 – If I accelerate releases, I’ll need extra time to draft Volume 4.

  So, what do you prefer?

  


      
  • Keep the current pace?


  •   
  • Speed things up, knowing there might be a short break after Volume 3?


  •   


  Let me know in the comments or through the poll—I’ll check in after a week and decide how to move forward.

  Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.

  When I first started writing Reborn as Emily, I imagined it as a typical body-jack story told from a psychological perspective. But as I wrote, the story took on a life of its own.

  It became a story about:

  


      
  • Consciousness & identity – What does it mean to exist as two people in one body?


  •   
  • Family & love – How far do we go to protect those we care about?


  •   
  • Gender & self-perception – Is the soul bound to gender, or is it something more?


  •   
  • Reality & perception – How do we define what is real?


  •   
  • And… a little secret agent mischief.


  •   


  Each volume explores a different stage of Emily and Daniel’s evolution:

  ?? Volume 1 – Identity (Who am I?)

  ?? Volume 2 – Understanding (How do we coexist?)

  ?? Volume 3 – Becoming (How do we evolve together?)

  ?? Volume 4 – Being (What does it mean to truly exist like this?)

  I have plans for Volumes 5, 6, and possibly 7 depending on interest.

  


      
  • Volume 5 will be an interlude.


  •   
  • Volumes 6 (and maybe 7) will bring the story full circle.


  •   


  If you want faster releases, I can adjust—but it means less polish and a possible break after Volume 3 so I can catch up on drafting.

  Let me know what you think! I’ll decide after a week based on your feedback.

  As always—thank you for reading, commenting, and supporting this story. You’re the reason I keep writing.

  Should I speed up chapter release?
