In my admittedly limited experience, the phrase “battlefield tactics” is something of an oxymoron.
This isn’t to say tactics aren’t important, but once the battle begins, there’s little room for grand strategies or fancy...

I got home monday afternoon, and my thighs and calves are still kinda soreeeeee. Anywho, that means the next RR chapter will be Sunday September 27th at the usual time.
For 2nd Grade Warrant Officers and up, 633 will be out tomorrow, and then we back on track by sunday (hopefully).

2020-09-14 00:56:05 +0000 UTC View PostAuthor’s Note: So this chapter is one I’ve been meaning to do for awhile, as it could’ve really fit in anywhere, but I held off because I wasn’t sure how interesting it’d be. There’s a lot of theological stuff and Dao’s and watnot, so keeping it all logical and relevant was hard enough, and making it engaging too might well have been beyond me. That’s mostly why it took so damned long to write, especailly since I kept err... seguing into not-so-relevant details, but I got ther...
2020-09-10 20:34:16 +0000 UTC View PostAs of typing this post, its 4 in the afternoon and I just signed out of work. I probably don't have enough written to finish the chapter tonight, especially considering I'm leaving in 30 minutes to go visit my parents, so I'm just gonna throw in the towel now and say I'll release the chapter tomorrow night. This way, I won't stress about it all afternoon and try to leave early so i can finish the chapter, and I can just enjoy the time spent with family.

Author's Note: So I forgot to give you guys more warning, but I'm going on a canoe trip this weekend, so I'm going on writing break starting today. I'm leaving friday morning, and still have a bunch of errands to do, and I'll be back home sunday night, but I also need time to catch up on a Patreon chapter, so I figured I'll take an entire week.
So I'll be back with a chapter on September 24th. I know, it sucks, but look on the bright side. I could've taken 2-4 weeks to...

Been struggling with the ending for over an hour now, but decided, eh. Fuck it. It's not a great ending, and doesn't really make sense, but Im tired. I'll fix it in editing, hopefully, but with luck, enough of what I intended to convey got through.

Sorry, but I have no new excuses, only tired old ones. Like i said, it's gonna be like this for awhile heading forward, but such is the cost of long ass chapters. That being said, I almost kept writing cuz i set out with a different end point in mind, one that tied it back to Rain better. Whatever though, I guess a whole chapter about a side character and his trials and tribulations is okay.

Sorry, but chapter will be late, probably sometime tomorrow evening, since i'll be treating my parents to dinner tonight since they're driving me to and back from appointment, and I see my niece and nephew tomorrow afternoon. If possible, maybe i'll work a half day and finish the chapter after lunch tomorrow, but we shall see.
This means 622 will probably be late too. Sorry.

2020-08-05 00:00:36 +0000 UTC View PostSo I wasn't thrillllllleedddddd with how the chapter went, and after going through it, I decided to go back to my initial and add a part I deleted. While doing this, I also did a little restructuring, but not too much, and changed the end point to be a whole lot cliffier. The downside is we lose Goujian's fight at the end, since I cut the chapter at 6.5k words, and his thoughts on body strengthening and self inflicted injury. I'll try and see if I can finagle it in next chapter, but im not a ...
