Minecraftia: Trial Two

**Minecraftia: Trial Two** is the second trial of The Arcs and Trials of Minecraftia. It will contain Volumes 8-14 of the series. It officially started on November 13, 2019 and, because of the shorter waiting time between books, will conclude sometime in Mid 2020.

According to Gerald-XR-Donovan, the Wattpad release will contain Volumes 8-14 and Volume Gerald.

## Trivia

* It is confirmed that the series will last until at least Volume 10.
	+ On October 5th, 2019, Gerald-XR-Donovan announced 45 new Minecraftia books, spanning from Volume 10 to Volume 14.
	+ On December 21, 2019, Gerald-XR-Donovan announced a Trial Three.
* It has been promised that Trial Two will have no where near as many characters as Trial One.
	+ Gerald-XR-Donovan said the following: *I looked back on Trial One and thought "Holy shit, over 200 characters." and I just sorta remembered that character development was pretty poor. In Volume 8, the number of redshirts is pretty low. I think only a couple of characters die within the first book they were introduced, and we've already seen one of them [Rachel]. I already have plans for each character and their backstories and flaws.*
* According to Gerald-XR-Donovan, although no characters from Trial One will appear in Volume 8, she is thinking about having a couple cross over into Volume 10 or 11.
	+ These characters are Jenny and Alden, although Gerald and Kenney also appear in photographs.
* In this Trial, there will be one spinoff per volume that tells the tale of Gerald's life Pre-Minecraftia.
* Gerald-XR-Donovan didn't think it would make sense to have so many characters and not encounter the same names every once in a while. As such, there are characters named Ellie, Clark, Gad, Wendy, Benjamin, and Owen despite these names (or similar ones) being used in Trial One.
* Another change is the lack of characters who receive a lot of development in a book, only to be killed off in the same book. Gerald-XR-Donovan has said that it was pointless because the reader would know exactly who was going to die.
* It was revealed by Gerald-XR-Donovan on December 16, 2019 that Trial Two won't be the final installement in the series and that more information will be revealed on December 25, 2019.
* On January 2, 2020, Gerald-XR-Donovan revealed that she already knows how Trial Two will end.
* It was stated that books in this trial will be much shorter, as Gerald-XR-Donovan is more focused on quality over quantity. She has stated that she hopes to have every book released before July of 2020.
* While Trial One’s characters used 64px skins, Trial Two’s characters used 128px skins. This was so the characters would have more detail, such as Sean’s eye and Roger’s hair.
* According to Gerald-XR-Donovan, a lot of Volumes 10-12 were written while she was at the lowest point in her life. She has opted not to change any of it because she feels it relates to her personally.
* Despite the fact Volume 10 has only just started being released, Gerald-XR-Donovan claims that Volume 14 Book 9 (the finale) is a “masterpiece” and probably her best work. She said she has started work on it already because she knows it will take time to complete.
