Progress Update#3: Hiya, just a quick update on my progress. Originally, there was supposed to be a chapter dropped yesterday in response to my recently finished draft. However, it may be delayed till Monday as I didn't get the chance to review it. Though, that's mainly because I'm having trouble. . .well, deciding how I want to execute the final battle. And no, it's not writer's block, but more like it's taking longer to get to get to what I envisioned the final battle to be. I planned for it to be the same length as the original version (the original was 13k words in one chapter), but this final battle is already 17k words and still going. So yeah, it's longer than I expected, so just know that I'll be dividing the finale into three parts likely.

P.S: This is pertaining to Arc 1 of Redux btw.

Progress Update#2: First thing in order, welcome all to the New Year! Okay, done? Good, now down to business. This year I want to try and cover more ground in working on the remastered version of my DB fanfic. However, another New Years resolution I want to do is to give my followers more interactive decision in how the story should be updated. What do I mean by that? 
          
          Well, as far as how I've been updating, I've been updating one chapter at a time based on how many drafts I have completed ahead of time (Currently, there are four drafts completed as I'm writing this). Though, a recent idea literally popped into my head the moment it was New Years for me. So, I'll ask you all what you want instead and I'll go from there.
          
          1): Continue on how I've been updating before and have drafts written ahead of time and update one chapter likely every 2 weeks (I used to update once a week in the original but chapter lengths were much shorter compared to now). 
          
          2)A new update idea considering my sole focus is the rewrite at the moment. Update Redux Kaizen in a "Book" format. Meaning, similar to how I have the chapters named "Arc 1", Arc 1 would be consider Volume 1 and the next Arc after that is considered Volume 2. This means Redux Kaizen will NOT be updated on a 2 week max basis but until the entire Arc is completed! Essentially, instead of one chapter, you will likely get up to 10+ chapters in that single update. In short, a Volume Update rather than a "Chapter Update". 
          
          Let me know which one you all prefer!

Progress Update: Hiya, so just to drop an update on the remastered version of my Dragon Ball fic; Arc 1 is finally reaching it's final drafts and conclusion. Meaning, as I approach the next arc which many of you likely already know is the tournament arc (This one will have some major changes and I plan on making it longer as well), there is are two major ideas I have set that will influence how Arc 3 is written after Arc 2. 
          
          1.Have Kuzuku become part of the Galatic Patrol. Doing this MAY bring in Moro and Merus if I feel like it could work. This will change Kuzuku occupation into something like Ichigo Kurosaki from Bleach (This is the idea I'm leaning more towards on btw). This will allow me to isolate more powerful characters like Goku and Vegeta since they would be too strong for the main villain in Arc 3. Plus, it makes more sense.
          
          2.Keep it similar to the old version and just have them go right into the Codia Arc but flesh it out to bring in more interaction and character development. Such as more interaction with Kuzuku and the Codians as well as with the rest of the Z-Fighters such as Tien and Yamcha since they lack presence in the old story.
          
          Those are what I have in mind but I may do a mix of both. I preferably like option 1 since it opens up more ideas for me to be loose with but it'll take longer to get Arc 3 done that way while 2 will be faster but I feel it'll be a missed opportunity. Feel free to drop which one you prefer and some ideas. I'm open to them because the early 4 Arcs of the remastered version are the ones that needed to most revision compared to the T.O.P and Goku Black Arc. Those two "mostly" stay the same from my notes.

@Fanofeverything29 Ty, and I do plan on doing that but not exactly introducing Moro as a test for him. That level during the current arc of the story is too much and I personally think Moro is only written to test Goku as a character. But don't worry, I have 'original ideas' in the future. I'm only making him a Galatic Patroller early to set up scenarios and the plot better than the original version. 
            
            That said, Kuzuku's transformation early on will remain the same as the original but if you read the first version, I'd say after Arc 5 or 6 is where his power progression is changed with my own twist on it ;). I've already got it in my notes.

Make him a Galatic patroller he needs a master to help him train and Moro is a perfect villain for him to test his strength. btw is 1 of his transformations going to look like Gohan beast because i feel like the consistent nightmares might trigger it.
            
            Also Amazing work

MAJOR AND IMPORTANT UPDATE: Hi, I know: been a VERY LONG TIME and I apologize for that. My attention just been more focus on irl stuff and traveling so I didn't have a lot of time to write. However, even though I didn't write much, I was still doing a ton of brainstorming and thinking. For those who have read my Super and Beyond Story and notice that there is a remastered version with about 4 or 5 chapters done, then you can probably guess why I am making this post. But if you haven't figured things out yet then I'll just outright say it. 
          
          The Sequel: Dragon Ball: Tenkai, will also undergo a remastered to pair well with Redux Kaizen (Super and Beyond Remaster). Which means, that series will be going on a hiatus. 
          
          I am doing this mainly because when I was writing Tenkai's story notes in my spare time, I was also thinking on ways to pair it with Redux Kaizen so they can connect better. After a ton of notes and pages, the ideas that I liked weren't going to work in what I've written passed the Broly Arc. Hence why I decided to scrap the currently written Sadala arc and start fresh from the Broly arc (It'll be easier to edit the writing in comparison to the Sadala Arc which had some lore dropped in it.). 
          
          With that said, I am aiming to make an even more fleshed out story. The ideas I have will likely make this story even longer than the old version which is why it's taking me so long to write at times. I am taking my time to make sure each chapter comes out in an acceptable quality and flow into the next. 
          
          So to those who followed me cause you liked my writing, thank you first of all! It really does motivate me to write when I see my notifications spammed with votes on my first book! Anyways, I've spoke enough, back to work. Until we meet again!

Hmmm, was debating on whether to keep this a secret or not but I figured I might as well. Yah boy had commissioned a huge spoiler that ties into Tenkai! I retweeted it but I implore you to check out the fantastic artist who made it happen. Link bellow ^_^!

So as some may already know, Dragon Ball: Super and Beyond's Remastered production has begun. So with that, the nigh-entirety of the story of Kuzuku will be rewritten and revamped for future plans to come. That said, there are two things that I'd like to know.
          
          1) Do you want me to take down and unpublish Super and Beyond? 
          
          or
          
          2) Keep Super and Beyond up until the remaster is completely finished? 
          
          I was originally going to take down Super and Beyond but I figured if people want to keep it up for the sake of comparisons then I won't take it down. So let me know which option does the majority prefer ^_^.

Hiya, been a minute since I announced something? Well, since I've just released chapter #14 of Tenkai's current arc, I'd like to ask if you guys would want the release of the climax chapter as early as by Friday! It's actually already typed up and just needs some editing.
