Two chapters this month! Rejoice! ٩(^ᴗ^)۶
Chapter 14 isn't particularly short, but I felt like pairing them together because what the heck, there won't be many early access chapters left! That's right: Samurai of Hyuga Book 4 is currently in publishing! That said, there's still lots of weeks left for all the copyediting, save import testing and Apple marketplace bullcrap to delay it further.
Another reason I wanted to bundle chapters 14 and 15 together is because they finish t...

It's time for some Fun & Games! There's a lot I like about Chapter 13, but what I enjoyed the most was (finally) being able to implement a choice made waaaay back in Book 1. It really makes the scene feel different. This goes likewise for a choice made in Book 2, where the survival of a certain character changes things!
See, Choices Matter™!

Dabbing and...Teddy Roosevelt in a birdcage?!
Things have taken a turn for the weird in Hyuga, and we have Dana Sanguir (website, instagram) to thank and/or blame for it! I love getting the atmospheric stuff illustrated, like we see in Chapter 18's art. It really hammers down a scene's tone to readers!...

It's a rough day for the self-employed here in the US (Tax Day), but at least we've got a new early access chapter to soften the blow! Speaking of taxes though, the amount I owed the IRS this year was the nearly the same amount this Patreon made me in 2018. That's how important and thankful I am to all you patrons! Trust me: owing the IRS money is NOT a situation you want to be in!
As for Chapt...

Chapter 11 may feel a little short (that's what she said ⌣́_⌣̀), but trust me under the hood its not. Half or more of the chapter changes based on whether MC is attracted to men or women—yep, it's one of those kind of chapters!
Though there's a bit of romance it's really more of a comfort scene for both MC and Junko/Jun. This chapter also introduces the first <Author's Warning> of Book 4. Though I may add more later, there's only two planned in the Book and the ot...

Well, nine short stories in a row isn't too bad! Unfortunately I won't be able to make it ten: the writing for Book 4 is at the final chapters, and I really need to focus on them before everything else. I want to make sure they turn out 100%!
The side stories will continue in May. If you are an intermediate patron, I'd recommend going down to a dollar in the meanwhile. I want to make sure you're getting your money's worth, after all!
Anyway, thanks everybody for the support. Reall...

Chapter 4 has been updated with an aside at the start of the chapter. I highly recommend diving in their just to give it a look. It has some big story implications, which was why I wasn't able to release it until now. Hope you enjoy it!
