Born and raised in Central’s Nan Ping, Yo Shi-Woo was undoubtedly biased towards his home province, but even he had to admit the Northerners knew how to make an entrance.

There's gonna be a short break.

Long story short, I got a bad infection from my wisdom tooth removal. Won't go into details, but the antibiotics are a bitch. I'll try to get back ASAP, and will let you know more as soon as I can. No Chapter 563 today, and look to discord for more info when I have it.


Sorry.

Chapter 561 delayed

I had a whole thing planned and written, then discovered it didn't work as is, so now I gotta rewrite things for a different plan. Won't be done tonight, but hopefully it'll be done by tomorrow evening at the latest. Got a dentist follow up appointment to make sure everything hunky dory in the morning, and then free to write for the rest of the day.


Sorry all, but I'll have the chapter out ASAP

Sorry for the delay. I'd actually intended to post on sunday, but then the chapter I wrote while sick was so terrible, I had to write it again. Anyways, we back on track, or should be. Got a dental appointment RN, so gonna head off to that for what I think will be good news :D

Here it be! I know some of you are gonna groan about this, but I'm gonna be real with you. There's a GOOD reason these animals are a big part of the story, and it's not JUST because I really, really, really love them.


Also, originally this was ch 557, but i swapped things around and now it's 556. It shouldn't matter, because the comments below are pertaining to this chapter, but just letting you know :D

Chapter 557 delayed and break for teef removal

Pretty much title. I was 80% done, then decided it was hot trash and scrapped it. New PoV wasn't needed, and I spent too much time on backstory that, let's face it, wasn't relevant. I've already started on a new chapter, but it might have to wait till thursday. Lots of work to do before going on leave for wisdom teeth removal, as in actual work work and just general prep so I don't starve to death on my own, or worse, call my mommy to come save me.


Anywho, I have no idea when...

Still not eating solid foods, and I need painkillers to sleep, but yea. Here I am back at it again. Writing. Because physical pain isn't enough. I need mental and emotional pain as well.

The tooth extraction was not simple and easy and anyone who said it would be is a dirty stinking liar. I still have another appointment to book, but I'm holding off on it because I'm a giant pansy and can't go through this again so soon. That's all for now, so enjoy the chapter :D

No Hiatus yet

Appointment got pushed back until the 21st of feb, so that's when I'll go on break instead. For 5$ Patrons, I don't have a chapter yet, but I'm working on in it and will have it out by tomorrow night probably. Sorry, and take care.

Hiatus for Teef Removal

The time is nigh.


As some of you may recall, I've been meaning to get my wisdom teeth removed and now I've finally set the appointment. It's this coming friday, the seventh of february, which is a lot sooner than I expected considering I just booked it today. At first, I was like okay, nbd, I'll just keep writing till thursday and then toodles, but after giving it some thought, I'm gonna start the break today. Not only do I need to mentally prepare and say goodbye to a...

After I walked my dog this afternoon, I decided the chapter would be better if done in a different order. I thought I could amend it properly and finish, but alas, I was wrong.


It might be later tonight, but it'll most likely be tomorrow evening. Sorry to start the month off so poorly.


Also, as an added note, I totally wasn't joking or being tongue in cheek when I suggested readers on RR just wait out the cliff. I appreciate the support, but I feel like i tri...
