Seventh Update: It just keeps growing (That's what she said) · 3:32pm Feb 27th, 2013
So I took a look at the word count of Revival of Chaos after I finished chapter 10, and I'm already at over 18,000 words. I've barely even started into the plot (at least in my mind) and I'm already at a word count that's nearly a third of the original AJUO. I expected that Revival of Chaos would be bigger wordcount wise, and I expected it would be at least over 50 chapters long. It never consciously occurred to me that I'd pretty much be writing a novel lengthwise, but I definitely believe now that Revival of Chaos is going to be over 100k words. Looking back at just the material I've written so far, and at the outline for what I have planned to write, I'm definitely going to say the story is going to be Teen rated. Things are going to be darker than the original story; there is no doubt of that in my mind. Just like I promised, though, the story is going to have a happy ending. As the release date is still a month away, I just know that I'm going to have the story fleshed out as best as I can make it by that point, as opposed to AJUO, where I must admit that sometimes I was only a couple chapters ahead of you guys when it came to discovering my story. That is not going to be a problem with this one!
