Mob Sorcery Update
Added 2024-10-31 00:00:08 +0000 UTCThank you for all the feedback and thoughts on the last post. There was way too much for me to respond to individually, but I did read it all. I suspect the issue has been discussed beyond Patreon now, which is a little frustrating given the problem is largely related to specifics of the book and makes external commentary worse than useless.
For now, I'm going to try to push on and keep posting chapters at my usual pace, particularly with the Christmas ones coming up. The Anzu chapter will need a rewrite or heavy edit, as I think it's the source of a lot of misinterpretation and appears to confuse people (perhaps if they didn't realize she was Agent?). I'm leaving it be for a bit while I work out what I want to change about it, however.
Comments
For what it's worth at this point, I thought the mystery elements were well written and easy enough to follow. I'm sad to see Anzu's chapter get a rewrite or heavy edit as I thought her character was spectacular. She's clever and funny, witty, decisive, powerful, definitely the fun haver of the twins, and yes, violent at times but those times make sense with the story and her character. I quite enjoyed her and her chapter. People are wonderful at being stupid, not understanding things, and ruining them for the rest of us. I don't blame you for being tired. Your writing is a gift to us and everyone just complains and nitpicks. Overall, I didn't think any of it was hard to understand. Happy for more when you're ready, thank you again!

2024-10-31 05:50:16 +0000 UTCI 100% agree. It seams like authors get a lot of flack for what happens in one chapter on here . When it will all come together in the very next chapter or a few down the line.

2024-10-31 05:10:17 +0000 UTCIt also seems to come with the medium, the books are written to be read as a book, not as a web novel, and while your using patreon as the test track, the medium doesnt do the story justice.

2024-10-31 02:21:04 +0000 UTCOh, it doesn't really bother me that you like your own comment, I'm just pointing it out. One, she isn't shown to be wearing anyone's tails. Two, it is gruesome, but way less than the tail ripping. Which is what everyone is talking about. Your "feedback" is pointless mean and isn't constructive. Feel free to do whatever you want but I'm not going to continue talking to you.

2024-10-31 02:17:12 +0000 UTCI was going to ignore this but because you decided to tell him to "ignore this random" in my comment. I'm going to grace you with the fact that I have bought all 8 of spellblade audio books. Bought both the Kindle and audio books of mob sorcery 1 and 2 Bought the 3 neural wraith audio books. So this "random" you are talking about is a fan that has Bought alot of his books. And I listen to mob sorcery on the regular. Been weekly as of late. If he doesn't want feedback from "randoms" he should hire a real editor and stop asking for it from us "randoms" as you put it.

2024-10-31 01:49:11 +0000 UTCIt is alien. She's just old and from a time where that was normalized.

2024-10-31 01:48:46 +0000 UTC@patrick ford, you'd know if you read the chapter.
Tecally
2024-10-31 01:44:45 +0000 UTCIt's honestly the most gruesome scene in the series by far. And the nonchalant way she reacts to it only adds to the scene. Not that I think it's bad. Edit: What you've been saying hasn't been feedback or criticism btw. Especially with you talking out your ass. Edit 2: Also stop liking your own comment.
Tecally
2024-10-31 01:40:54 +0000 UTCOh, I'm positive she was talking about taking Fox Tails. But the way she just casually mentioned human skin and clothing together was what was so alien.
VitalAbyss
2024-10-31 01:40:12 +0000 UTCI was actually under the impression it was another fox, because she said the clothing was made from her tails. And the reason she stated that no one works on human skin is probably because demihuman skin is indistinguishable.

2024-10-31 01:38:12 +0000 UTCGlad to hear it. I love your work and support you on Patreon as I want you to publish work independent of Amazon trends and fickle readers. If I wanted something identical to the other authors that write the same tired old work, I wouldn't be here. I'm here for the quality of your writing and stories. I am also happy to find out I was right on the money with Anzu being agent post Christmas special. Hope you don't have to retool her too much.

2024-10-31 01:02:53 +0000 UTCYour work is always great! Do whatever you feels best and at the very least know I'll be happy reading your work and excited for whatever you do next!

2024-10-31 00:54:39 +0000 UTCHave you not read the series? It literally starts with Vince surrounded by bodies from a gruesome fight. You seem way too sensitive for the content from all the comments about the same thing. Maybe stop being a source of negativity and just enjoy his writing because you are right he is one of the best and we all want to read his story.

2024-10-31 00:52:28 +0000 UTCSeriously, glad to see this. This is your story.

2024-10-31 00:49:18 +0000 UTCThere was a part in the Anzu chapter that I actually really loved, personally. Where she just casually mentions wearing someone as clothes and then mentions doing it to a human. It wasn't detailed, it was just kinda of a passing comment, but the back handedness of the comment was slightly horrifying. It showed that she has an alien or otherworldly way of thinking which also seemed appropriate for an ancient mystical being.

2024-10-31 00:46:49 +0000 UTCDon’t take the confusion personally. If it makes you feel better the author of Dune stated that Paul A was supposed to be a villain but everyone thought he was a hero 😅

2024-10-31 00:38:47 +0000 UTCCan you please define aggressive as I have been told it means violent is this correct?
patrick ford
2024-10-31 00:31:50 +0000 UTCI personally loved that chapter and all your works. but if you really need to make it more obvious she is Agent. Drop a line at the end saying something like maybe it’s time I go check in on Vince and something about what agent should look like this time.
Robert jacobs
2024-10-31 00:24:57 +0000 UTCOn the point of agents identity: it was bound to be a fox, given the perfect illusions and fine magic control. Of the foxes we know it most likely isn't the cute shop-fox or the yakuza-fox. That means either houou-fox or completely new party. One of the twins, if not both, was my guess. And i didn't put too much thought into that, since i enjoy the process ^^ On the Anzu-Chapter as prologue: Yes please. The chapter reads like setup for later reveal. Put it earlier in the book so the info is already in the readers mind. It's nice to see the internal problems of houou after two books of them being just a looming shadow

2024-10-31 00:24:10 +0000 UTCIgnore the randoms and just write your story as you want to, I’m not here to read the work of 3-4 random people, I’m here to read your stories. Anyways thanks for the chapters
Mustafa
2024-10-31 00:19:39 +0000 UTCI'll fully admit to missing the confirmation that anzu is agent. Don't get me wrong, I remember from previous chapters that the working theory is agent is a powerful, conceited fox from houhou. The problem is that feels like a description of every fox we've met so far save one
CrookedShepherd
2024-10-31 00:18:36 +0000 UTCI think the most difficult part was the timing of the Anzu chapter. I wonder if it might work better as a prologue rather than in the middle of the book. Serves as a way of letting people who aren’t analyzing every sentence notice that the game is bigger than they thought. I personally love the idea of more aggressive harem members.

2024-10-31 00:04:24 +0000 UTCWell all I can say is that I haven't had any issues with your writing, or have I felt that the quality has deteriorated in any way. I am looking forward to more chapters!
