Hello everyone!
          	
          	First of all, I would like to thank you for the 158 reads of my story, Tales of Filios. This post serves as my official announcement regarding why I decided to unpublish the book.
          	
          	The story was originally planned back in 2023. I have always loved the idea of bridging Filipino culture with mainstream fantasy, with one of my major inspirations being Rick Riordan.
          	
          	I began posting the book about two months ago, initially writing it freely and letting the ideas flow. However, as the story progressed, I encountered several setbacks. Continuity errors started to appear, and they eventually became obstacles that made it difficult for me to push the story forward in a way I was satisfied with.
          	
          	But fear not—Tales of Filios will return.
          	
          	I will be officially reposting a newer and revised version of the book next year. Since then, I have written multiple drafts and developed more concrete worldbuilding, a clearer magic system, and stronger character arcs. I did attempt to post the new drafts just two days after unpublishing the original version, but unfortunately, I realized that I had written a concept and location that were too similar—almost word-for-word—to the work of another artist within the same niche. Because of this, I decided to step back once again to rethink, revise, and research more thoroughly.
          	
          	I assure everyone that I will be more careful moving forward and that I am committed to delivering a higher-quality story that truly reflects my vision.
          	
          	Thank you so much for your continued support.
          	
          	Happy holidays!
