Major Schedule Change Announcement

Schedule will be dropping to two-times a week until June based on my current estimates. Every week Thursday and Sunday, same timing.

I have a full-time job, and it's very project based. I've been able to get my free time after work everyday to crank out a chapter, but for the foreseeable future (e.g April till launch of satellite and maybe LEOP) this is not possible due to scheduling (e.g doing overtime coding all that stuff)

In hindsight, the sheer amount of chapters released is honestly quite insane - about 2 chapters a day on average since I started on 1st Jan 2023 (70 days or so)

My current backlog is 176, and I'm also having a bit of a difficult time reigning in Ceres's ability to view emotions (maphack) so I need time to figure out realistic limitations that don't gimp him too much. This keeps forcing me to rewrite certain chapters, and honestly some of the latest chapters I'm writing are just not 'tension' or 'fun' enough as Arc 2 was, which leads me to believe there's a slight issue with how the plot progressed somewhere from 160 onwards. (AKA Writer's Block)

I hope to resume daily uploads as soon as possible, but I think it is not feasible in the next three months.

Patreon Schedule will be dropping to the same rate as well, which will still remain 40 chapters ahead of RR.

For the April Writeathon Contest, my main focus will be on BlackMarket, which I think can do much better and will receive daily uploads for that month alone before switching to a three or two times a week schedule.

BlackMarket Advanced Chapters would be automatically integrated into existing tiers by End of March.

I'm also looking at a potential revamp of the tier system, because it's honestly painful for me to continuously unlock chapters manually. (Patreon automated system sucks)

Novels live and die on Rising Stars, and Ceres Chaos had a good run - but I think I can do better, learning from the comments, reviews and criticisms I've got over the past two and a half months.

I wrote Ceres Chaos in an almost complete vacuum save for less than ten beta readers, so it was not tailored to RoyalRoad at all.

If you are a patron:

- If you have not cancelled before this date (12th Mar 2023), I will refund you if you drop me a message. I feel that it's not fair for me to unilaterally change the schedule that you have signed up for.

- If you do not drop me a message, then billing will continue as per usual.

NOTE: Discord Goals still apply, and Patron Goals still apply.
