Man, I binged 'The Beginning After the End' like crazy last summer, and I’ve been keeping up with the web novel updates ever since. As of now, it’s still ongoing, but the author, TurtleMe, has been pretty consistent with releases. The story’s in its later stages, though—volume 9 wrapped up recently, and the pacing feels like it’s building toward something big. I won’t spoil anything, but if you’re waiting for a complete binge read, you might wanna hold off a bit longer. The Patreon chapters are ahead, so the public releases should catch up within a year or so, depending on how things go.
What I love about this series is how it balances fantasy tropes with fresh twists. Arthur’s journey from king to reborn child in a magic world never gets stale, and the side characters actually matter. If you’re worried about abrupt cancellations, don’t be—TurtleMe’s active in the community and has shared rough plans for the ending. It’s one of those stories where the ride’s worth the wait, even if I refresh my Kindle every Tuesday like a maniac.
