Hey guys! To all my High School Royale fans, I just want to let you know that there’s a slight update to a few chapters.
          	
          	It’s inevitable when you release as chapters are ready that there’ll be slight oversights occasionally.
          	
          	IN CHAPTER 1, the full interface of the phone we’re never clarified. In Raymond’s POV, he now fully explores and describes every feature.
          	
          	IN CHAPTER 3, Jesse gets a message, which causes an audible alert. Messages are meant to cause a notification alert.
          	
          	IN CHAPTER 5/6, Jesse and Maria will now  A judicially embrace before and after lunch period. I don’t know how I forgot to include this.
          	
          	Thank you for your understanding, and I apologize for these oversights.

(2/2)
          
          Across the school, six students will battle for survival and discover the meaning of trust and betrayal.
          
          RAYMOND is the junior valedictorian, a loner who makes up for it with brains.
          
          SKYLAR is the most popular girl in school, who has tabs on almost everyone from her yearbook and newspaper class.
          
          JESSE is a star athlete on the varsity baseball team, looking to protect his friends.
          
          ALYSSA is a kind girl of many talents, a doctor-in-training and former cheer captain.
          
          GRACE sticks to herself and prioritizes survival, but has mastered the sport of archery.
          
          ROWAN is a freshman who struggles in school, having lived in his brother's shadow his whole life.
          
          These six people don't know much about each other at the start of the games, but will find their fates entwined in ways none of them will have expected. As the games go on, friendships will be forged and challenged, and loyalties will be tested. Out of the battlefields will come unbreakable bonds and resilient hope.
          
          The clock ticks down. The only way out is to play, and the only way to play is to fight.
          
          ===
          
          Join me in less than two weeks as the first 8 chapters release.
          
          Mark your calendars.

@Tom_ThepokeTrainer I would say it’s more so Battle Royale than any of the other series

Hey guys. It's been a while, hasn't it? I have not been active on Wattpad nor revised TCC for the past few months. While this is not ideal, I have been dedicating all my time—when I'm not swamped with schoolwork—to my next project, as promised last year.
          
          And now, it's nearly ready.
          
          ===
          
          It would've been a normal Friday.
          
          Weekend plans. Chemistry tests. Relationship rumors. Choir drama.
          
          But, on that day, at 9:10 a.m., all 1,484 students of Stonewall Academy High School wake up on their homeroom desk.
          
          With almost zero memories of the morning before, there's two things in common about each of them: They each have a tight bracelet around their wrist and identical smartphones on their desks.
          
          With barely any time to process things, they're called down to the cafeteria, where the rules to a simple game are announced.
          
          1. In everyone's locker is an object which would be of greatest use to them.
          2. On everyone's phones are apps to help them.
          3. With whatever means, every student must kill each other.
          4. The last student remaining emerges victorious.

Hey everyone!
          
          Just letting you guys know that this week during revisions, I actually added a whole new chapter!
          
          37) Negotiations takes places after 36) Infiltration. It’s a bridge chapter that better ties together the Beach arc (which in my head has always been a bit rushed and lacked development). 
          
          If you’ve finished reading TCC, feel free to go back and check it out! If you’re currently reading it, Wattpad can have some sync issues because it was added so long after the rest of the chapters, so you might’ve skipped it. Just letting you guys know, so y’all don’t accidentally skip a chapter.
          
          Anyways, that’s all! Thank you!
          - R.J.

As you all know, I've been in the process of revising each of the TCC chapters. I've finally reached the Maindo Coup arc! (Chap 36-40) A lot of these chapters are missing some notable information and the pacing is quite off, so these chapters are going to be undergoing a LOT of revision, alongside two brand new chapters to better develop the characters.
          
          If you're curious, feel free to give them a reread and see if you can catch the new details :)

First chapter of The Cycle Continues: Untold Stands is out!
          
          Untold Stands will be a collection of bonus stories and other content relating to TCC, such as symbolism analysis, unshown games, tales from before and after the Borderlands, author reflections, and more!
          
          If you’re interested, make sure to give it a read and blow the first chapter out of the water! It’s about Zakū and Maeda’s friends and their misadventures on a day of their shift :)

@Joker_107 Sounds good! I will do that.

My recommendation is to read Wattpad on the mobile app because the interface is much much better—no ads, full screen text, and better formatting.

@RonakSharmaPatel Hey! Unfortunately Wattpad is currently the only site that TCC is available on, so I’m sorry. I’ve tried to look into publishing it on Ao3 as well but I have very little experience with the site and the UI is very daunting

Welp in regards to my previous post, now each chapter is consistently getting 20-30 comments lol
          
          But that’s besides the point. Sunday’s upload will be tomorrow! I’ve been on vacation the past two days in Florida so my schedule is wonky. However I’ve managed to pump on the final 2000 words on the plane and in the hotel, just in time for tomorrow.
          
          See you then!
