Hey everyone, real talk.

I've been running on fumes lately trying to catch up with Patreon chapters, work on the Book 1 rewrite, and what's draining me most, job hunting. I think I mentioned this in comments or Discord, but what I make on Patreon, even living in Brazil, isn't enough to get by. I'm not saying this for pity. I'm just stating facts.

I'm trying to improve the situation and grow my readership to sustain myself as a full-time author, but right now my numbers aren't there yet. So instead of constantly punishing myself and essentially lying to you about what each tier delivers, we're making a change.

Starting today, all Patreon tiers get access to the same chapters as they go live. Nothing changes except I'm being honest - I haven't been delivering the chapter counts I promised.

However, Gold Card Explorer patrons and above will get rewrite chapters a month ahead of Explorer patrons. That's their main benefit, plus obviously supporting me and helping me continue writing.

Legacy Holder and Guide tiers keep their OC creation, room/dungeon creation, and guide creation benefits. Those don't change.

In the future, when I can actually give extra chapters to Gold Card Explorers and above. I'm not doing the whole double posting again. Instead I'll just edit the new chapter so Explorer tiers can access it and maybe post an update so people can get an email notification for it. Still workshoping that part but I'll let you all know when the time comes.

I apologize for not delivering the promised chapters, and I apologize for misleading everyone. That was never my intention. I genuinely planned to catch up, but life kept happening. I just realized it's been months since I posted a truly premium Gold Card Explorer chapter and that felt awful.

Honestly, I have no intention of stopping this story, even with the job hunt struggle. But I don't want to keep promising what I can't deliver.

Thank you for your continued support, for being here, and for loving this story. Thanks to that I can keep writing and making these weird little worlds.
