Regarding 7$ tier and possible changes to Tiers

Thanks for the info and consideration :)!

G. Harthane

As I’m currently giving 4/month this change will definitely mean I’ll switch to 5. The only reason I’m not currently on 7 is that I can’t afford it. So at least for me this means you’ll get more money. Don’t know how many others pay 4 but I think most of them will switch to 5.

Yea, it's definitely a minus for me at the moment. Thanks for the input :)

G. Harthane

That's the thing, it's super hard to say how people will react. I think posting more in general will lead to more Patrons and I intend to try and do that in summer. Thanks for the input :)

[Warning: You have entered the Dungeon of Humor and Sarcasm, please facepalm accordingly] Based on my, admittedly poor and likely ineffectual General Skill: [Math] lvl 0.12 (too long unused and rusty high school math). More people voted on the joke answers (which are part of any good mathical math survey) than the other answers on the survey. From this study i must conclude that The Honorable and Heroic Ms. Spears is breaking the fourth wall....with her fists...nuff said...

If anything find something small to give to the original people who had the 7$ update as a ty I personally go with the you do you I'm unsure if dropping the amount would make you more money thou in the long run would have to do the math saving 2$ a month isnt much but if even if half of your patreons are 7$ then that's roulghy 300$ a month will you gain the 60 more patreons to make up for it.

If you're adding a $10 tier then 2, 5, & 10 would be simpler than 2, 4, 7, & 10. I doubt $2 is gonna change too many minds, but you don't want to look like you're nickel and diming patrons. Honestly I think the best thing you could do to increase patrons is to post individual chapters 2-3 times a week rather than 2-3 chapters once a week.

I think 7$ is quite fine for the content and quality that you give us. The thing is... I’m quite thigh on the money front. So yay for the change I guess? Then again, depending on what you give the 10$ tier, I might just have to tighten my belt and just go for it.

That makes me feel pretty fucking good mate :). I'm glad you found it to be so engaging. This is exactly how I felt when I found a cool novel and it makes me incredibly happy to be able to inspire such a reaction. I've started to really enjoy writing and with the expectations of a couple thousand people I don't see myself stopping anytime soon. Thank you!

G. Harthane

About 10$ patrons, I think it's a good idea for people who want to get more involved in this world.

I really don't mind for change prices. I love this story, and i wanna support you, but i guess a lot of people would be happy to see the price go down. English isn't my first language and i really like your writing style. Thx for all! (Greetings from Russia)

Whatever enables/encourages you to keep writing, I'm in for the long hall. I am so in, that I started to reading your story when I was on holiday in Canada, then on the plane, expressly bought the in-flight wifi, just so I could keep reading your novel for the next 10 hours.

I love voting for 'smash some shit' and then finding out that it has the most votes. lol

Corwin Amber

whatever.

I think $5 is significantly better. I’ve been switching tiers a bit because I want to support you but think $7 is a bit much. At the same time it’s much more engaging to read the story at the most recent chapter.

Chymor

I appreciate that :) Thank you.

G. Harthane

I think 5$ is fine. Always keep in mind that the patreons have to pay VAT on that as well ;) The 7$ was ok for me too, but I got a job and no longer a filthy leeching student :P

Endoria

I honestly didnt see anything wrong with what im paying since i like the story and i want to support you. Whatever the new top tier is ill likely change to it. Cheers!

SabreToothTortseshell

Thank you for the opinion and of course for reading. Focus on food and shelter first before you invest into webnovels though :D!

G. Harthane

The poll option would only be about side stories accessible only for a higher tier, at least that's what I think of doing right now. It's still some time off until I can actually start on that. This poll here was directed at only the 7$ patrons. Normal story related polls would be for everyone of course. I agree on the part about e-books, especially considering you usually get more out of it than the hundred or so pages I write per month (for now at least).

G. Harthane

Thank you :). I hope I'll be able to make it worthwhile for you. I likely won't be able to work on additional rewards until summer sadly.

G. Harthane

Thanks for the comment. I know this might be the case for many and lowering the price might not mean more patrons but as I said, it feels right after talking to some people and thinking about it for a while.

Ash does not contain carbon. It's all been burnt out.

I'll most likely end at the 5$ tier because I'm somewhat short on money but reading is really important. In the end I'm just happy to get things cheaper ^^

we all got tiny child inside of us, and this is one those moments where it just runs a round like crazy :P

How far off until she can crush ash into coal, and then into diamonds? Who wants a cone of fire breath attack, when you can have a cone of diamonds breath attack? Cone of Ash breath attack, oh god. That would look so disgusting.

I think given how low the prices for finished e-books are usually that, 5$ is a more reasonable price for advanced capters. While stuff like adding a mentioned char or credits at the end of a finished e-book, can be much more expensive. Participation in polls (if you want to go that route should actually be already available at a pretty low costs. As Polls can help to make the overall story better so the more people participate the more you can get out of a poll. A poll with just 20 hier tier patrons participating, might be a lot less helpful for you then a poll with 200 or so of the mid and high tier patrons participating.

I was missing an option like "I literally couldn't give less of a shit whether it's 5, 7 or 15$, just post more chapters. You fuck."

Eldar Kersebaum

Even if you change it I'm still gonna give 7-10$ since I like the story

Nathanuel Vine

Thanks for the heads up! I really enjoy the story and consider anything around 5-10$ / month reasonable. Not sure I would be interested in the additional rewards so it might mean a lower pledge from me compared to the current amount but if you get more patreons from it then go for it!
