I’m more interested in the magic system after this change. The old magic was a rather centralized and ordered system, comparable to a power plant. A failure on this scale was disastrous, as shown in the old story. The new magic is, on the other hand, extremely disordered and comes from randomly fluctuating, renewable energy sources. The mages in this world are not able to cast their spells reliably any more, whereas people who have never had any magical ability before suddenly start to develop quite erratic talents. The result is a highly unpredictable, certainly more unjust and dangerous, but at the same time also more just world. The ending does not say that this is better than the old magic, it merely shows us this new reality, and how the characters have to deal with it. The real core of the story and not just “good guys save magic”.

This title looks like a poorly translated piece of smutty fiction. Need more context before I bother digging into that.

This is likely from a parody series, or a single shared writing prompt that's been run as a 'quest' on a space-sim forum like SpaceBattles or Sufficient Velocity. Titles on such things can get quite ridiculous in very short order; I've seen a decent number in my time on SB, but most of those are standalone, 20 post 'stories' in the Creative Writing or User Fiction sections. It's quite possible this is just a single thread, not a full novel.

In plotting out a free-to-read webnovel on Wattpad/RoyalRoad, one might notice that the story is developed in a rather experimental, author-driven manner. In contrast, platform-original stories published exclusively on Webnovel or Tapas are written specifically with the fast-pass of a chapter per day/week to read while paying for it in mind. Thus, many of such stories will have numerous, almost repeating cliffhangers and plenty of fillers, to keep readers engaged and reading for more while waiting for weeks in between chapters. Recognize the monetization model of the story you’re reading and gear your expectations accordingly. A completed story on RoyalRoad, for instance, or even a published e-book would likely satisfy a person’s impatience to get to the end of the story, while fun to theorize and discuss in a community setting with other readers, of a serialized platform-original may meander at times and go nowhere in particular.

We don’t have any word on this yet, but the fandom is hard at work speculating. Someone pointed out that last month there was a trademark filing for 'Jackerman: Reborn', but it’s probably just a working title. I’ll just listen to the OST for now and speculate as to where the story could go from here.

I'm so not ready for a sequel to this book. Right now I'm just trying to recover from the blow this book delivered. This book was harsh. In the grocery store. With letters. I'm a mess. I'm not sure my heart could handle another round of this with a sequel. Colleen Hoover so adeptly finds the most sensitive of emotional nerves and proceeds to poke at them. "Reminders of Him" did a phenomenal job of that. I need to let this sit and mature for a couple of years and then perhaps return to it as a female in her 40s with a sturdier heart. For now, I need fluffy romances that will not devastate me. Bedside Table Books type stuff. For now.

I’ve been trying to keep up with all the gossip regarding the eagerly awaited follow-up to ‘Rainmaker’. Although nothing has been officially confirmed by the author in terms of a sequel to ‘Rainmaker’ (although he does leave a lot of plot threads dangling at the end of the book and makes all the main characters very ‘human’ so can definitely see a sequel to this being done well and following the main character as he tries to pick up the pieces of his life and move on from his mentor), I would hope that the author would return to the world of ‘Rainmaker’ for a sequel. There are already a lot of plot threads laid out that have been left dangling at the end of the book and I would hope that the author wouldn’t leave too many of them dangling for too long.
There are hints dropped in interviews with the author who says he is not finished with the Rainmaker world and is working on new ideas for the characters. It is well known that the author takes his time to produce sequels of equal impact to the first book and so when he does get round to writing the follow-up to ‘Rainmaker’ it will be worth the wait. ‘Rainmaker’ was an excellent novel that was full of very real characters and had a great story with lots of twists and turns and I have no idea where the author could take the story next but I’m sure it will be brilliant.
While I wait for hopefully the sequel to Rainmaker to be announced, I’ve been rereading parts of the book, searching for things that I had totally missed when I read them the first time. So much foreshadowing in the last chapters of the book, I get the feeling that the author is laying the groundwork for the second installment of the Rainmaker world. One of the biggest ways that I see this is in the way that the main character’s relationships evolve. Most notably with his estranged family members, but also with a few of his friends, as well as the man that has been acting as a sort of mentor to him in his quest for recovery. The author occasionally posts on his social media accounts about his writing process and I almost despair every time I see a snippet of something new that he’s working on. Hopefully it’ll be the sequel to Rainmaker.

I just got word from the owner of my local bookstore that there were early talks with a sales rep about a graphic novel version of the story. This could be a good way to continue the story in a visual format, exploring different corners of the world in which the novel was set. The graphic novel could capture the silent, non-verbal communications of the characters and the dark, oppressive landscapes in which they existed. If a graphic novel were to do well, perhaps a prose version of the sequel could follow. Everything seems to be a test these days and so maybe the graphic novel will be followed by an audio drama, and if that does well then we’ll see about a novel version of Book 2.

Just finished the last chapter of Lockwood & Co. and I can confirm that I'm reading exactly the same words as you right now. Miles Cameron seems to have gone quietly back to whatever he was doing before Lockwood, and there's been no mention of a direct sequel (which I rather think was a natural ending for the characters). I gather he writes in different worlds, so he's probably moved on to a new story by now. But (fingers crossed!) maybe he'll drop some hints on his social media. Have you seen any of his interviews recently? Often authors mention things in interviews that aren't mentioned in the later official announcements. So, this is a waiting game, and until he writes another book as fabulous as this one, I'll just have to haunt Cameron's online presence. A sequel would definitely be an instant pre-order for me.

Borrowed time isn’t only for genius. What if someone had borrowed time for their charisma or luck? A thematic sequel to explore another aspect of that cosmic deal would be awesome. It’s a completely new story while maintaining the core philosophical questions and setting of the original.
