I'm so happy to have found this gem. The writing, the plot, the chemistry everything is so on point. I'm in love with the book. Thanks so much author 

LucianWard

@somyung  Thank you so much! I'm really glad you found UMS and are enjoying it. 😊 Hearing that the writing, plot, and especially Kael and Sari's chemistry are working for you means a lot.
            
            And if you've fallen in love with Lysena, there's good news: Under a Matra Sky is only one story set in this world. I'm working on several other books and stories for The Lysena Chronicles, with new characters and different parts of Lysenian society to explore. I'm also developing Lysena X, a more adult and explicit collection of stories set in the same universe.
            
            There's still quite a bit more of Kael and Sari's story coming first, though! Thank you for reading and for taking the time to come over here and leave this. I really appreciate it. ❤️

Incredible writing! I have been looking for something like this for so long. I can't explain how invested I am, screaming out loud and throwing my phone at the really good parts. Thank you internet stranger for this hidden gem.

Thank you so much! The part of your comment that really got me was “I have been looking for something like this for so long,” because that’s honestly a big part of why I started writing Under a Matra Sky. I wanted to read good stories set in a genuinely female-led society, and I had a surprisingly hard time finding the kind of stories I was looking for. Eventually I decided to create one myself.
            
            So hearing that someone else had been looking for something like this too means more to me than you probably realized. And the good news is that UMS isn’t going to be the only story set on Lysena. I’m already working on other stories with different characters that explore other parts of this world.
            
            Also, the image of you screaming and throwing your phone at the good parts made me laugh.  Thank you for reading and for taking the time to leave this. You genuinely made my morning.

            I'm really glad you're enjoying Under a Matra Sky. There's still a lot more ahead for Kael and Sari, and I'm also working on other stories set on Lysena.
            
            I hope you'll enjoy the journey!

@sagnik01saha    Thank you so much.   I'm really glad you’re enjoying it.
          
          I would love to know, what’s been your favorite aspect of the story so far?  The Kael/Sari dynamic, the worldbuilding, the social structure on Lysena, Lina and Risa’s arcs…?
          
          It’s always interesting seeing what aspects of the story readers connect to most.

Love your story along with storyline and character's chemistry 
          Waiting for updates ✨

@X2x1x2X     That’s actually really helpful feedback because those scenes are some of my favorites to write too. The tension and chemistry between them is basically the heart of the story.
            
            If you enjoy the Kael and Sari interactions, I think you’ll probably like where the rest of the story goes.
            
            And honestly, one of the reasons I started building Lysena as a larger setting is because I realized I wanted to keep exploring different relationships and dynamics inside this world beyond just this one story.

@X2x1x2X I really love the scenes of ml and fl being together. Them doing that project together was the best scene so far. And I would really love if you could increase their number of interactions.
            Rest I love your stories

Thank you  Really glad the storyline and character chemistry are working for you. Those are probably the two things I’ve spent the most time trying to balance.
            
            Out of curiosity, what’s been your favorite part of the story so far? And is there anything you’d want more (or less) of as things keep unfolding?
            
            It’s always interesting seeing what different readers connect to.

Hi !
          First time reading a femdom story AND set in a matriarchy that has an actual plot and an interesting world building. 
          This book is refreshing to read !
          Anyways, this one is definitely one of my top 10 !

LucianWard

@Anja_Iricia_Tiffany     Thank you so much. That really made my day 
            
            One of the things I wanted most with Under a Matra Sky was for Lysena to feel like a real society and not just some extreme dystopia or perfect utopia. Most matriarchal stories I’ve come across tend to go very far in one direction or the other, and I wanted Lysena to feel more grounded and lived-in than that.
            
            So I’m really glad the worldbuilding has been landing for you alongside the story itself.
            
            And honestly, hearing that it made your top 10 means a lot!

Hey mate, I am a new follower and wanted to say that I really like your work. 
          Anyways, don't give up. If it becomes too much, you can take a break.

LucianWard

@ysarlak19    Thanks mate, I really appreciate that.
            
            And honestly, that’s good advice. Posting consistently for months while writing the story at the same time can definitely become a lot sometimes.  Lucky for me it has been a labor of love. 
            
            Really glad you’ve been enjoying the story so far.

Heyy! Hope you’re having a good day! Great story! Loved the way you explained everything, it was worth spending hours on it! What are you currently working on? Would love to know about it.

LucianWard

Thanks for your message. I’m glad you’re enjoying the story. Can I ask how you found out about it?
            
            I have several more chapters of Under a Matra Sky written and will be posting them over the next few weeks, and I am continuing to work on it. I’m also working on another, shorter story that also takes place on Lysena and involves a displaced young man who has to learn how to navigate life in a strictly matriarchal society.

I read your story it was really very good. So can you tell me when your next story is coming out?

LucianWard

@vesper_  Thank you so much, I’m glad you are enjoying it! I’m posting new chapters of Under a Matra Sky twice a week. This story is part of a larger universe I’m building called the Lysena Chronicles, with several different stories planned, all set on the same world.
