Weekly Progress Update [15/JAN]

Hey all!!

Remember when I said I was going to do my best to remain under 35k words? Yeah that was an absolute lie, I'm fairly certain we're going to be over 40k by the time I'm finished because I'm currently at 35k words and there are still several scenes that I need to wrap up lol.

What I've already completed:

• The Crown's timeskip training and tutoring lessons (15k including variations)
• R and A's main story scenes, political (4k)
• R a...

Beta Reading for CH10!

Hey all, hope your week has gone well ✨

The amount of variations we're getting to in the latest chapters has increased to a rather large extent. I'm looking for more betas to add to my beta reading group to really make sure each story branch can be evaluated properly!

And also because I feel bad for my current betas having to do all that work lol

So I'm opening up applications for more beta readers! The minimum age requirement to join will be 18 and older, and being able t...

CH10 Preview, Part IV

Another preview now that I've officially wrapped up the Crown Self-Care portion of the chapter!! ✨

This is for the A lovers 💖

“Forgive me, Your Imperial Majesty,” $athey says to you while frowning at the trainee, “but could I request you go again?” 

“I don’t see why not.” You roll your shoulders and square them once more as Evdal gets up to his feet. Winning a sparring match does feel good, even with such a pitiful opponent....

Development Sneak Peek: Tribes of Sur Codex

Hey everyone, hope the first week of the year is going well for you so far!!

Since we're a month out from the CH10 release, I thought it would be a nice preview to show off one of the definitive codex pages that will be added in the new chapter. As the title says, it concerns the Tribes of Sur!!

Excerpt from Founding an Empire as written by High Master Bahoz. Taken from Chapter Five, Becoming Arsurian, one of the chapters assigned to the Crown for mandatory readi...

Weekly Progress Update [01/JAN]

Whoo, first progress report of the year!! Hope everyone experiences a great 2023 in all areas of your life and that it'll be much kinder to us than 2022 was ✨

Some good news: I don't know what's in the water lately, whether it's just the relief of last year finally being over, but my writing pace has really kicked into gear the past week. I'm averaging 1k-2k words a day, which is pretty great!! We're heading up to 27k words now.

I'm also suspecting that I may su...

A & X Character Snippet: Their First Meeting

Hellooo and happy new year in advance/belated, depending on your time zone!! I hope you'll have a wonderful 2023 ahead ✨

It's another lengthy character snippet to close the year off with at ~1400 words, as the title describes, centering on A and X's first meeting. It's mentioned briefly in the game during CH2, if you'll recall, but I had fun expanding on it with some additional worldbuilding as well as a fun little character moment.

Can be read as A/X if you squint, there's defi...

X's Romantic Snippet: Nightmare

Hey everyone, hope the holidays are going well!!

For this month's romantic snippet, I thought it would be fun to do a bit of role reversal. Like the other romantic snippets, this one occurs in the future, with X and the Crown in an established relationship.

Here's the link!! It also includes the recently uploaded R and Perjin character snippet, for ease of reading.

Character Q&A: Siham and Ishrah

Hiya, here's the Q&A! Siham and Ishrah came in 2nd during last months voting, and since I didn't have time to put up a poll, I figured I should just pick them to close the year off with!

Starting from January, I think we'll go back to another round of LI Q&As, so you can look forward to that! For now, though, onto Siham and Ishrah's answers ✨

Tell us something about yourselves. Where you're from, your families, etc? 

Ishrah: "Well, I'm from a ...

RE: The December Schedule

Heya, quick update on what's happening schedule wise!

• The Character Q&A is delayed to Friday / no voting for that this time around, it'll be Siham and Ishrah this month!
• X's romantic snippet is delayed to Sunday
• A and X's tier 2 character snippet will still be posted on the usual time (Saturday next week)

Hope the last month of the year goes well for you 💖

R's Character Snippet: Meeting Perjin

Hello, hello! 

As you can tell, my schedule for December is in complete shambles, however, to make up for it I'm posting an Extra Long character snippet for R. It's roughly ~1400 words, so it's way above the usual count lol

Hope that makes up for the absolute chaos!! ✨

Also this is technically more of a side character snippet than an LI snippet, since it's told from Perjin's POV, so look for it under the "Side Characters" header in the file!

X/D Polyam Route Preview

Hey all!! The R snippet will be delayed to tomorrow, as I got caught up in writing various tidbits for CH10, and ended up with a scene that I think would fit the eventual X/D polyam route much better.

Note that I'm not actively working on the polyam routes and it will literally take years before I can even get started on them, judging by my current writing pace 😭 By the time I get around to them, this scene will likely chang...
