To my readers and critics alike, I submit this as an important announcement. Today, at 12:08 PM EST., on the 29th of March, 2018, I am discontinuing the story of "The Vagrant Scholar". No more chapters will be submitted to it, and no more will there be for its side story "Pure Pure Pleiades: Scholarly Misadventures". I've taken time and re-read my work thus far, and I have come to the conclusion that - at best - my story serves as an important lesson on how not to scale the power limits of characters of an already established series. To put it simply, I wasn't writing a narrative that truly respected the source material. For those who enjoyed, I thank you for your time and praise, but consider: did you read this story because it was good, or because it went against the way Overlord was told? Not many enjoy Overlord, and that is perfectly fine, but it is a well-written series that should be respected nevertheless. Perhaps it can be said that I've had some resentment due to personal reasons for the light novel series, and this story was a way to "rebel" against it. But that is an immature reason to write a story. A character, even one such as Lexicon, should serve the narrative and not the opposite. This story essentially served my ego, but after some time and thought since my previous submission yesterday, I have come to the conclusion that this story cannot continue the way it is. If I ever do come back to The Vagrant Scholar, then it will be something of an entirely different nature. It may very well not have any elements, lore, or characters from the light novel series of Overlord. Either way, this is where the story stops. I make no promises to return to it, but it will always be in the back of my mind. I will leave the chapters and stories I've created since for anyone else to read them, but don't expect additions anytime soon, if at all.
Thank you all, and have a good read!
