This decision actually came very lightly and wasn’t difficult at all. As I was editing the web novel, I became deeply dissatisfied with the changes I had to make to adhere to censorship guidelines - I basically had to rewrite entire scenes and chapters to cut out a lot of explicit violence. It was specifically the violence that I struggled with - it’s a pretty gory story with horrifyingly gross monsters. Cal gets his limbs torn apart a lot, for plot-relevant reasons.
A sanitized version of the story isn’t the one I wanted to tell after all - I think Cal and Renn deserve better than that. I’d like to revisit them in the future with an actual novel in all its full glory - I have a bunch of chapters already.
I’ll still be drawing them from time to time (I love Renn too much) but otherwise, they’re going back to the hidden world of my draft folders.
Thanks for your support thus far! And best of luck to the Action Fantasy entrants!
