Im trying to update once a week. At worst, expect monthly update. Is the most evil emperor in history truly evil? Regulus is remembered in Azalia’s chronicles as the vilest, most wretched tyrant ever to sit upon its throne. At least, that is what the historians claimed. Little is known of his early years, and his adult life is shrouded in controversy. Some say he uplifted a species of intelligent subterranean mammals, who came to worship him as a God. Proof of his massacre was undeniable. Civilians and soldiers; foreigners and Azalians. No distinction. Yet he also ushered in sweeping technological, magical, and societal revolutions that transformed Azalia forever. This is the story of Regulus. His beginnings, his rise, and his demise. It is also the story of those around him: friends, family, and foes. This is the truth history never knew. This is the truth only known by few... and now, also by you.

Both levers trail the field
Traffic and conversion are both below comparable stories. Cadence is the first lever — stories posting near-daily reached 25 followers 17% of the time; stories posting every few days almost never did. Get the flow going, then re-check conversion.
Benchmarks: 8,060 active Royal Road stories, percentiles within the 50–149 chapters band, cohort of 2026-07-02. Conversion is measured as followers gained per 1,000 views over the recent window.
