Slight Delay
Added 2023-06-01 23:27:29 +0000 UTCToday is a public holiday, so I'm taking the time to relax a little. Chapter 127 will come out in two hours or so from this post.
The launch of my satellite is approaching pretty soon, which has left me with 12 hours work day. So the pattern is basically 10pm sleep, wake up 5am, write till 8+, go to work, come back at 8-9, sleep.
Another reason is I'm doing a bit more research onto smuggling. War smuggling is an interesting concept, and I believe once I'm done I should be able to craft a proper black market story (it's nearly turning into a tunneling litRPG)
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/356019103_The_Routledge_Handbook_of_Smuggling <--- particularly Section V, or part 5.
If you would like to have a direct connection to me, my Discord is always open. Many patreons point out grammar or spelling mistakes there, as well as discuss the story moving forward. Also a place for me to make rants about comments like
BlackMarket has always been aimed at showcasing crimes that have a realistic basis. I've done my research (i sub to r/Mafia + read a lot of autobiographys). Nearly every type of crime would eventually be covered in the story, including spaceborne crime and how i envision crime to look like in the future.
So thank you for reading this far, and supporting me. My income has pretty much increased by 50%, so a lot of the things I couldn't get last time are now possible. I'm also looking at getting an editor to improve the quality even further.
Thank you.

I second that another story by you is something I can actually say I would look forward to

2023-06-03 04:13:14 +0000 UTCAnd this was a fun video if I remember correctly explaining how Gold/metal dilution can destroy a midevil currency causing hyper inflation and the collapse of Rome. https://youtu.be/iGPoK5bEdZ8

2023-06-02 01:52:14 +0000 UTCI could give more in depth sources on the horror /war part, but its probably easier to chill and listen to. Video while doing something than reading a few 1000+ page history books.

2023-06-02 01:42:01 +0000 UTCI still think Gold Smithing would be an accurate part of a premodern nearly pre industrial non-fiat currency economy. Also While it's a little NSFW the premodern practice of castrating all "infidels" practiced by Islamic and Christian invaders and making those who survive slaves seems like something that would really spook or cause resentment during this war. Mass Castration was also practiced in China and I don't think it was as common in South East Asia, India, or the Americas. Between the Catholic/OrthedoxChristian/Islamic midevil Castration and slavery of the infidels/heritics process, and the Aztek/Mezzo American Ritual sacrifice/war practices You could make this really weird.

2023-06-02 01:39:59 +0000 UTCIdk why but I find comments getting that angry over a story that no one forces them to read is funny to me, I imagine the person posting it as fat and greasy
