Volume I Act 1 Completed

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Act 1 of Volume 1 is now complete! I’ve finished my edits and revisions for the final draft of Act 1 and am currently working on Act 2. Starting tomorrow, I’ll continue posting a chapter per day, but today I’m giving myself a short break.

Most of Act 1 was based on the original completed fragment, with many parts restored from the manuscript alongside my own additions and changes. However, from Chapter 8 onward, the story will be entirely my own work.

If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions (constructive criticism is welcome!), I’d love to hear from you! Your feedback keeps me motivated and helps me refine the story. I’m aiming to finish Book 1 before the Korean school year starts in March since I’ll be very busy for a while, and I hope to finish the revisions on Book 2 during my summer vacation. Wish me luck!

I hope you’ve enjoyed reading so far!

Jane Austen was truly a genius author; If you’d like to compare with the original manuscript, you can find it online by searching Jane Austen’s The Watsons Manuscript, or by going to https://janeausten.ac.uk/edition/ms/WatsonsHeadNote.html!

There are two links at the top because they manuscript has been divided up. If you want to know more, you can read about it on the site.

Best Wishes!
