Yen to USD devalued over past year.

Over the course of the pandemic, I've been making less money than I originally priced myself. The YEN's price has fallen from 0.0092 to 0.0076

My low prices went dramatically lower out of my control:

$2 -> $1.69

$5.50 -> $4.62

$12 -> $9.63

etc

And reminder these prices above are before Pixiv takes a cut

This current month I made $3,425 when I should have made $4,100 with my original pricing. I should have expected it using a foreign patron service, but I'm just a stupid artist ahh.

I set up a gumroad to sell my MEGA link on, as well as to sell multiple chapter PDF's of Violet's comic on as products to buy (I'll be selling chapter 1-3 american arc next week): https://artca9.gumroad.com/membership

I really really don't want to change pricing on here. As last time I looked into it everyone will be booted from the service since I'd have to delete the entire tier. Which I mean I'm glad it does that or i could just change it to $100 and scam everyone lmao. And if then yen goes back up, I'll be overcharging what I set it to compensate for the current conversion rate..

And I really don't want to tell you to move over to gumroad.... yet.... As my knowledge of other american sites just up and ban you for porn randomly. They want dirty money, but don' want to deal with dirty people. Sanitized

Either service you use. You get redirected to the same MEGA link. So it doesn't matter how you support me as a Patron. I'll talk about this in the future.

But I'm going to enjoy myself on short 2 day vacation first. And get back to CH 5, and filler chapters with Livinlovindude, Shyguy9, and my colorist Von580. :)
