Chapter 366 - Three Minutes

A/N: Sorry for the delay. This chappy was supposed to be shorter , but I ended up liking it too much, so it stretched to 3.2k and took longer than the last to edit XD

ORANGE TIER: Greetings, this double chapter will count for Friday and Monday releases :)

A/N: Hey, hope you're all doing well! Thank y'all for the patience. The chapter finished at 5.2k, for the RR release, it'll be split off at the last *** scene, counting as ch361 and ch362.

Double chapter tomorrow

Greetings, everyone! 

I know the chapter is not yet out, and I want to let you know things are fine. (Well, had a couple existential crises earlier in the week. I have to keep up the writer’s reputation, you know? But I’m already over them!)

Without going into further tangents, there is a minor rescheduling. It’s always hard to close chapters in satisfying ways, and I can’t find a good spot for the current one without cutting it to pieces, which I really want to avoi...

Chapter 360 - The Sound of Truth

A/N: Greetings, humans. Look who's 'early'? :P

I did actually finish this chapter yesterday (as in at 9 am), though it still took 4 hours of editing today. But progress is progress. right? Hope you're all having a great weekend!

Chapter 358 - Questions

A/N: Greetings, hope y’all are faring well. I’m glad so many of you enjoyed the last chapter :) I spent forever on pacing that fight and squeezing in details, but I can never quite tell if it all works from my skewed perspective.
And look here! Today, I’m even earlier than the last and it’s another 3k chapter.

Chapter 354 - The Spider’s Cave

A/N: Hey, hope you're all doing well. Sorry I'm late. I've been trying to shift my sleep schedule by six hours to see the sun sometimes. But it ended up with me being sleepy at all hours of the day, going for a nap, and waking up five hours later XD
For next week, the goal is again aiming for Tuesday and Friday.

Author's Quick Notes

Greetings! How are y’all doing? It was a lot of fun reading your comments in the character poll. I had many more plans for polls and stuff I wanted to do, but life—or better work—had other ideas. I know it must be an absolute shocker, but I underestimated how much work it would be to edit book 3 XD. 

I’ll ramble about the editing below for those who are interested, but first the important news. I sent in the manuscript for book 3 to my publisher for the first round of line ...

Best Side-Character Poll! 

Hey, everyone! I'm curious about how you folk are feeling about the characters. I know these kinds of things are popular and I've never done one. So, I thought it’d be fun to try a few polls during my editing marathon. 

Of the side characters in the current arc, who’s your favorite?

Also, let me know what are the characters from previous books that you’d like to see the most again.

Announcement - Pause Patreon billing

Hi, hope you’re all doing well. I’ve been OK. Nothing to worry about. To make it brief, I’m going to pause billing on Patreon for a little less than a month (after the next chapter on Monday) to finish editing book 3. But since no one can expect a writer to be brief, you can read the full details below :)

The plan was to edit book 3 in bits and pieces, while also writing new chapters. Maybe put out some shorter chapters (which never really worked out). I’ve made decent progress,...

Chapter 346 - Suspicious Sirens and Swimming Squirrels

A/N: Sorry, this was so late! I didn't like the first draft, so I spent a stupid amount of time rearranging and rewriting this chapter till I was happy with it. It also turned out to be a very looong one, almost 3500 words. I felt the scene was important, and didn't want to split it into two :)

Announcement (no chapter)

Hi, how’re y’all doing? Sorry there’ll be no chapter today. I’m still sick. I thought it was getting better, but this weekend I still had a fever, so I’ve not been able to write much.

Next chapter will be on Friday (unless I’m still sick, but in that case I’ll make an announcement. If you hear nothing expect a chapter :)
