A Certain Scientific Shadow Crafter

Shadow Crafter is back guys!
          Today, tomorrow and Friday you will have 1 chapter a day to have A BIG START!
          Then i will try my best to upload monthly!
          WE ARE SO BACK! Go read chapter 1 that is already out and check out the amazing new COVER~!
          SEE YA IN THE COMMENTS

Long time no see guys.
          Hope everything is going well! Lets skip this useless chatters, as Fran would say, and right to the point.
          After 4 years of the release of Shadow Crafter, i finally have in my hands a bunch of new chapters for the sequel. I can say that this winter, hopefully before new years "Shadow Crafter 2, Sands of Obsidian Peak" will finally see its first chapter released.
          The story will be focused on the magic side more this time and will feature magic side characters. However i will be honest with you from the beginning, This saga is very much focused on some of my original characters. So if you liked Fran and Chiara you are probably going to enjoy the new additions! Don't worry, I'll still keep it Toaruish any scene i can, i know you trust me!
          I really hope to see you guys again around in the comments and in the discord!
          Thanks for supporting me.
          One more thing, I'm not collaborating with any artist right now so the quality of the illustrations, if any will be there, will not be at the same level of the Eleuphii times. I think i will put some AI generated picture here and there just to give some idea of the characters, but i wont abuse them because i personally dont like Ai art, if you can dare call it like that. Stlill, i think is a cheap easy way to potrait your immagination into picture.
          Again, see you guys soon for the first chapter!

Guys, we reached and surpassed our total 20k views on the story! I may seem redundant, but i want to thank all of you again and again for all you feedback and comments and especially for following the story until its end!
          Now that the collab chapter is out, i can finally say that this is all from Shadow Crafter. I won't say more extra chapter won't come out for sure, but i can affirm that for now this is all i had planned for the completion of my fiction.
          One more time, hanks for sharing your time with me, Fran and the rest of the OC hat you loved so much throughout the years!
          For now it's a goodbye, but maybe it will turn to "Arrivederci!" one day. <3

Hello guys, hope you are doing great this year! 
          Soon i will release a new chapter of Shadow Crafter! it's a collab chapter with the author of "A Certain Scientific Code Vader" @Zzz-Awakening
          The chapter is settled during the run to the hospital to the final fight against Chiara, when the herd is growing and Chiara is already god mode!
          I hope you will enjoy reading one more adventure of Fran in this side story after almost a year after Shadow crafter's ending. Im always glad to read your comments and feedback, so dont hold back. Also knowing we still have sporadic and new readers approching our work! i love you all, new and loyal readers!
          Hear you soon guys!

Guys, guess what? After all this time of preparations, the chapter is finally coming out this week. Could be tomorrow, in two days, five, but be ready to expect your notification! I'm so looking forward to it! Thanks for the patience and the interest into the work.
          I wish you a pleasent day and i'll be waiting for your feeback on the last chapter of Shadow Crafter!

Here’s the second announcement for you guys! VERY IMPORTANT PLEASE READ!!!
          As the most interested of you should have noticed, the progress of the story has stopped from a long time now. The last chapter and the conclusions are the only parts missing, but I’m afraid to say they will not be here in a short time.
          Next week, this hour, I will be in Malta. I moved there because I found a good job and I worked hard during the last 2 months to be hired. This is the first time ever I travel out of Italy, the first time abroad, and the first time I’m gonna live alone, completely alone (well I’ll have unknown roommates but randoms don’t count).
          I’ll have my new shifts, a rent to pay and household stuff to take care of. Out of a sudden my reasonability will double and I’ll need a whole moment for me, me only.
          This means Shadow Crafter chapters will be delayed more. I repeat, the story has ended, I have the scripts and they just need to be translated and corrected. But we are talking Shadow Crafter right? This story deserves more than just a normal release. Because I love it and you guys love it too.
          I want to do something cool, something big for these last two parts. My artist friend is busy with work and studies and I will be too. I can’t just release the text alone.
          So, I’m here to ask you not to give up on me, not to give up on Shadow Crafter. Please stay here waiting for the gran finale because it will be. Now that I have a job, I will have less time BUT more money. Let me see how my life goes and if I’m able to save some money… I’m planning to order more commissions, more art, more fancy stuff in general! I really hope to be able to!
          I want Shadow Crafter to end with style and so do you, I guess! Wish me good luck for my job! I’ll always be here reading comments and I’ll be the first one waiting for the last chapter to get released!
          Thanks you guys and see you as soon as possible!

Hi guys, long time no see. I'm gonna publish two important announcements today, so I’d be glad if you spent these five minutes reading.
          This is the lighter one but it’s still important and it’s about the Shadow Crafter story continuum.
          Time ago, a dear reader @Terraria56 noticed an inconsistency that even I, the writer himself, didn't notice immediately. Let me explain little quick and ofc, IF YOU HAVEN'T READ PAST CHAPTER 26, STOP READING NOW cause it’s a big SPOILER.
          So, if you’re still here, you remember Elana gets tricked into biting Index’s Walking Church, whose protective power countered the attack and protected the little nun. Well, in the canon story, after Touma broke Index’s dress in the first steps of the novel, it was never said the Walking Church was ever repaired. This means Index is wearing a normal white suit, with zero protection.
          So, the reader has his reason to say the way Elana was defeated was in contrast with the real canon events (whose SC purpose is to follow them into an original story), since a broken Walking Church would have never countered Elana’s iron fangs. At the start, I was so disappointed with myself and I was like “whatever, the mistake was done. I have to leave it there and the readers will just have to close an eye on that. They will do that since they like the story overall.” BUT that was wrong thinking and now I changed my mind, there is no reason for Shadow Crafter to be so negligent on this. I was so busy lately, mentally and physically, but I have this idea in my mind from a long time and now it’s time to make it real.
          The smart ones may have already guessed what I’m going to do, so yes, IM DOING A RETCON! 
          There is no reason for me to not do just a simple action, a simple adding of a line in the story that fixes this huge mistake.
          In chapter 12 Casual vs Pro part 2, I added a line where Index specifically says she got her dress repaired lately. 
          
          IT CONTINUES IN THE COMMENTS!!!!
          (ffs wattpad, give me more space!! eheh)

Lately the Shadow Crafter story has been read and commented often and this makes me really satisfied and hyped towards the next chapters which are gonna be the final strike. 
          I love you all for the support and i cant wait to hear your opinions on the end of the story and what happens to Fran, Chiara and the rest of the crew. Meanwhile, since our great firend and collegue @Zzz-Awakening released the last amazing Shadow Crafter OST, im gonna link it to you guys who may not be following him. Drop him a follow here and on Youtube!
          This one gonna be the OST of the next chapter! In preview for you guys, see you soon :)

""""""""""IMPORTANT PLEASE READ"""""""""IMPORTANT PLEASE READ""""""""
          Hey guys, what’s up? Just wanted to tell you about how the Shadow Crafter story is doing and clarify some doubts some of you may be asking themselves. The story will be 31 chapter long, all the chapters are written and finished already. So you may ask, why does it take so long to be published then? The fact is that when almost a year ago I started writing SC I would’ve never expected so many people getting interested in this presumptuous OC fanfic and reading with such enthusiasm. Since then, I got to know amazing people and new friends who eventually became a part of Shadow Crafter itself, contributing to its growth (I remember thy you can join our group by clicking on the Discord link in bio). Anyway, as I was saying, now SC gets more and more amazing art from our well known former N1 artist Eleuphii @Eleuphemia and our writer friend @Zzz-Awakening is now also working for some theme music for next chapter and maybe for the future and previous ones. I can’t stop thanking both people who work with me and who read and comment the story. I really can’t find a way to express how happy this support made me through this year who’s been difficult to me outside of Academy City’s world.
          IN BRIEF, SORRY FOR ALL THE PREVARICATING: We are working on a great project, trying to surprise you guys everytime with new things and stuff. So don’t worry, the story WILL NEVER BE DROPPED because it has already been written completely BUT all the features we are adding need some time to be prepared. I hope all you guys will keep sticking around anyway and wait patiently the next chapters that will probably take a month or more each to be release (dw the next one is really close, so start hyping!)
          See you guys in the comments and thank you!

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCMENT PLS READ
          Hi guys? You doing alright? I hope so! Sorry for disappearing. This has been a difficult period for many reasons, especially university. We are having issues finding time to work on the new chapters so, you probably understood by yourself, but i have to delay the release date of each chapter. There will be no more chapter weekly on friday (well there wasn't since a while anyways). We will publish as soon as the story is ready, so it can take to 3 weeks to a month. I hope you will wait and keep following the Shadow Crafter series anyways. We may start the works on the new chapter soon, so stay tuned. THX TO EVERYONE! REALLY!
