I MADE A REDDIT COMMUNITY FOR MHAOC WRITERS AND READERS!
          
          Hey everyone! I finally made a Reddit community for The Zeal to Save, but I decided I didn't want it to be just a subreddit for my fic.
          
          It's a space for MHA OC writers and readers to connect!
          
          - Share your MHA OC fanfics
          - Showcase your OCs and quirks
          - Get/give constructive feedback
          - Find beta readers
          - Talk character development, plotting & writing
          - Discuss MHA worldbuilding
          - Share fanart and edits
          - And, of course, memes
          
          I'll also be sharing updates related to the fic, behind-the-scenes stuff, character development, theories, and other writing-related content there. This is also going to be the best place to discuss chapters and theories without cluttering the comments.
          
          If you're an MHA OC writer, reader, artist, or just someone who enjoys obsessing over fictional characters, I'd love to have you there! 
          
          Come join us at : https://www.reddit.com/r/TheZealToSave/
          
          Hope to see some of you there! 

Hey, guys. 
          
          I just want to know something from my readers. Am I doing something wrong in my interactions? I ask this because there's been a genuine lack of comments on my chapters even with so many reads. 
          
          I just want to improve however I can and make it the best reader experience for everyone. If anyone has any ideas, do let me know. 

Hi everyone!
          
          I'm happy to announce that I've made 'The Zeal To Save' in a podfic! The first chapter (Chapter 0, actually) is out. You can now listen to the chapters in what I hope is good enough narration.

Hello guys!!
          
          So I just wanted to let my readers know that new Chapters 2,3, and 4 are officially out!
          
          Although Chapter 1 has remained exactly the same throughout all my 3 rewrites, the coming chapters have gone through complete remasters. They expand on Kyushu and Aimi's lore now, and also add depth to the MHA Vigilante References I have going on behind the scenes.
          
          These are major changes (I'm sorry, long time readers) but they were important and I'm sure will add to the reading experience. Check out the preface for more details, and DO READ THE NEW CHAPTERS!!! 
          
          Do not forget to like, and comment about your favourite part!!
          
          Thank you!!

I swear...if I get one more comment about "I could easily imagine your scenes as comic panels," I'm gonna lose it. 
          
          I DRAW THINGS MYSELF!!

Hey, everyone. I know it's been a long time...almost about to be a year since the last chapter came out, but I had a lot to work on myself, and although I really wanted to come back to this story, I couldn't. It will continue, I promise, but I cannot say for sure when the next chapter will come out. 
          
          I swear, I have each chapter mapped out - what will happen and when - but I really can't find time to write them outside of my personal life. 
          
          I apologise for the delay, and I hope you all will stay excited for Mahou's journey.

Hey everyone!
          
          Surprise update—this time it isn’t a new chapter, but something I’ve been meaning to share for a while: a proper Prologue. Since we’re already fifteen chapters in, you’ve all gotten to know Murasaki in the present, but this piece goes back to where it really began—her first days in Naruhata, and how Hiroshi became the unlikely guardian who gave her a home.
          
          I wanted to give more weight to her backstory, not as an info dump, but as a lived moment that shows how she and Hiroshi found each other, and why she carries so much of what she does into the main story. Think of it as a missing puzzle piece that was always in the background.
          
          This prologue won’t change the flow of the story you’ve been following—it just adds another layer to Murasaki’s past, and hopefully makes her choices in the main chapters hit a little harder.
          
          Thank you for sticking with me through fifteen chapters already—it means more than I can put into words. I hope this prologue gives you a deeper connection to Murasaki, Hiroshi, and the world they’re surviving in.
          
          Enjoy, and as always, let me know what you think!

Rather than rushing ahead with new chapters while these changes are still unfolding, I'm taking a bit of time to make sure The Zeal to Save becomes the best version of itself.
          
          Thank you again for your patience and support.
          This story means a lot to me, and I want to make sure I do it right.
          
          INSTEAD OF AUGUST 1ST, CHAPTER 15 WILL COME OUT ON SEPTEMBER 1ST

 Author’s Note – Update on The Zeal to Save
          Hey everyone 
          
          Thank you so much for reading The Zeal to Save and supporting Murasaki’s journey so far. I wanted to share a quick update:
          
          I’m currently in the middle of what I’m calling a Polishing Phase for this story — not a full hiatus, but a focused effort to strengthen the earlier chapters and bring everything in line with how the story and characters have grown over time.
          
          This includes:
          
          Refining grammar and prose
          
          Adjusting pacing and thematic threads
          
          Evolving my writing style
          
          Updating small but important details, like Murasaki’s hero name and design (her face and art have changed too!)
          
          Rather than rushing ahead with new chapters while these changes are still unfolding, I’m taking a bit of time to make sure The Zeal to Save becomes the best version of itself.
          
           If you’ve read previous chapters, you might notice small edits or new additions.
           I’m also posting updated artwork, excerpts, and character content on Tumblr and Instagram during this time — feel free to check those out if you want more behind-the-scenes glimpses.
          
          Thank you again for your patience and support.
          This story means a lot to me, and I want to make sure I do it right.
          
          INSTEAD OF AUGUST 1ST, CHAPTER 15 WILL COME OUT ON AUGUST 10TH
