I've been holding off on pulling the band aid for a week now, but I realize this does you, my readers, no justice.

  In an expected yet surprising turn of events, life has gotten very busy. University is tough; I barely got good grades last semester, and I'm not about to wing it a second time by not studying properly. I have a circle of friends and loved ones to keep up with every day. Personal projects, some of which are tied to harsh deadlines, have gobbled up what little time I had left to spare.

  Life is good; no doubt about it. I have very few regrets, and lots of things and people that bring me joy.

  Unfortunately, life's also too packed to fit the hours necessary to maintain a consistent writing schedule.

  I tend to write slower than most authors on this platform, which means it takes me about three to five hours to write a chapter of E2F, in addition to whatever pre-planning I need to do. Kingdom-building, politics and economical uplifting are insanely good to write about, but they are also an unforgiving bitch if you mess up, so you need long-term planning and good execution to maintain a logic-based plot.

  Unauthorized usage: this narrative is on Amazon without the author's consent. Report any sightings.

  In line with that conclusion, Exiled to the Future and my less popular story Tread and Sword are going on hiatus, at the very least until March 31st, when one aforementioned deadline is set to expire.

  I can promise nothing, but I hope to return as soon as possible.

  Even the harshest of critics among you have been nothing but helpful, and I am thankful for all of you.
