Kia Ora, all my amazing readers ️
I wanted to reach out with a quick but important explanation regarding the delays in publishing new chapters for "Final Resort" and "Before the Light."
I know you are waiting for the story to continue, and believe me, I am just as eager to share the next plot twists with you.
The problem isn’t a lack of inspiration or time to write. The main reason the chapters are being held up is due to constant technical issues with AI image development.
As you may know, I strive to accompany my stories with unique illustrations to fully immerse you in the worlds of "Final Resort" and "Before the Light." These images are an integral part of my vision, and they help me convey the emotion and dynamics of the scenes exactly as I intended them.
Unfortunately, lately, the process of creating these images has turned into absolute torture. I am facing countless system crashes, the AI misinterpreting prompts, absurd generation errors (extra limbs, distorted details, wrong backgrounds, missing effects), and, as a result, constantly hitting generation limits. I have to redo the same thing 10-15 times, and even then, the result is often far from ideal.
Today has been the peak of this madness, and honestly, I am at my wit's end. All my resources were wasted fighting the imperfections of the technology instead of just creating and sharing it with you. It is incredibly frustrating and drains a huge amount of energy and time that I could have spent on the actual writing.
I am really counting on your understanding and support in this difficult situation. I want to keep making the stories visually rich, but the current technical barriers are seriously slowing down the process.
I am continuing to work on the text and I am looking for workarounds to solve these image issues. Please bear with me. Your support means the world to me and gives me the strength to keep going.
Thank you for staying with me ❤️
With love,
Lana Tsai
