Hello, folks! The Modern Hermits here.
We don’t know if you’ll see this, as it’s been more than six years since we last heard from each other. How have you all been?
A lot has happened over the years, but we Hermits over here are still the same, still crafting stories and brewing visuals. We hope that, no matter where you are, you’re doing well and having a great time, both on and off screen.
We have some good news. After years of crafting and brewing, the first book in our Book of Astral series (previously titled Astralis) is finally out!
It was originally planned as a trilogy, beginning with The Phantom Puzzle. At over 190 pages, it features 15 illustrations from the art you loved, including some you may have seen before in the comic, now refined for the book. And, as you’d expect from a novella, it’s packed with tens of thousands of words following the boy through his many adventures!
We want to apologise that it took us this long to get it out, but we’re really happy that, after all these years, so many of you are still subscribed to us. Maybe some of you even look back at our old comic from time to time. For that, we’re truly grateful.
To show our appreciation, you can get the book now for only $4.99 on Amazon: https://a.co/d/0hMsujTV
You can also find the link on our profile.
If you happen to be on Penang Island, you can get the paperback edition on the second floor, beside the bookstore in Journal Georgetown, from now until December this year.
Thank you for all your support through the years. Now, as we promised, the glorious golden Crown City awaits you!

Hi guys, this is the Modern Hermits here.
We have some announcements to make.
Regrettably, we have made the decision to stop publishing Astralis: Phantasia on Tapas or any other platform to focus on our current work at hand. However, that doesn’t mean that we stop working on it. We will try our best to maximize every second of what little time we have to continue working on Astralis and completing it.
We want to give a big thanks to our subscribers for their support throughout the years. Maybe one day you will get to read Astralis again. It might not be the same name or the same format, but we promise you it will be glorious.

Thank you all for your continued support and patience over the past year. We’re so excited to announce that ASTRALIS Chapter 2 is coming next week! Check out the teaser for the upcoming chapter!
... What happened to Astralis? It kinda just stopped, and only one episode in? Do they take a long time to make, since the art style is quite complex and detailed, or did something happen? It's December. It came out in July... that's a long time to make an episode of a comic! I'm sure many readers would really like it to be continued, myself included. It already has the potential to be something great. And I want to see the greatness!
Hi, C-Otter! Thank you for your support and enthusiasm! We are fine and currently working on Episode 2. There are a lot of details in this episode, so it took us quite some time. We truly appreciate the patience of our readers and we're hoping to publish Episode 2 very soon.
Your art is beautiful!
Thank you!
ASTRALIS has reached 1400+ views and 330 subscribers! It truly means the world to us! Thank you!
