Magician who rose from failure - WN Status?

Note that the same author also wrote The Magic in This World is Too Far Behind, which is currently on indefinite hiatus. So there's precedent for them to effectively drop one series to start working on another.
If I remember right there were actually issues with the publisher (or the illustrator?) and the last volume (already written and all) was delayed by more than a year. The author got tired of the whole situation and started writing a new WN because of it.
-
@terabyte Oof, if that's the case then I hope those issues get resolved soon.
-
I got tired of refreshing my pages and searching for the title, so decided to check out the forums. And what do I find? The 5th book is not out and not likely to be out soon. It's a bit disappointing.

@seleena You're in luck; it's coming out next month! https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/4867162701

@travis-butler The author had actually started working on The Magic In This Other World Is Too Far Behind WN again in Dec 2021. No updates in Jan though.
As for The Magician Who Rose From Failure, he uploaded another part last week.

That's great news. With where book 4 ended, I didn't there was enough content in the WN to make book 5. It looks like book 5 will be similar to book 2, where there was a lot of brand new content.
The lag time between the WN updates may have been due to deadlines to get book 5 out. I could understand if book 5 was a lot of new stuff the author wouldn't want to be writing the WN and getting things confused.
-
Is it possible that the Web Novel is just dead now and the author is just focusing on the LN? Because I see that volume 5 is out in Japan, so hopefully we'll see it here soon now, but the WN hasn't been updated in over 5 months. I'm hoping the series doesn't get abandoned. I really want to see his parents put in their place.
-
@Todd-Graves-qtcwnyr i hope so too, but alas the author has prior form...
-
@ShipTeaser you mean he has a history of abandoned series? Yeah so it seems, I really hope that's not the case here. This series is really good, although I'm not sure how popular it is overall. I hope he's getting pressure from his editor to continue it.
-
Hitsuji said a couple months ago that he's focused on trying to try to write The Magic in this Other World is Too Far Behind volume 10 again. Failure might be on hold until he either finishes that or gives up.

@Naelidaan
That's understandable if that's the case.
