September Update
🕑 Added 2024-09-02 19:37:56 +0000 UTCNew Schedule releases September 8th.
8:00PM GMT (London) / 21:00 CEST (EU) / 3 PM EST (New York) / 3 AM CT (Beijing, Sep.9th in this time zone)
#1 Watermark changes: Removal of the QR code in the bottom left corner.
The QR code in the bottom left corner has been removed, as it was noted in DMs that it was a bit distracting. All social media links are now integrated into a single watermark located in the bottom right corner.
#2 Increased Quality of Downloadfiles:
Some of the downloadable files were previously available in lower, speed-efficient resolutions similar to their webp counterparts online, which didn't look great on large TV screens or other big devices. The quality of recent uploads has been increased, so feel free to download them again for better viewing.
#3 Content between September 1st and September 8th.
Fountain of Growth will release some random point during the week as the only project. All other projects are on hold until next week. Anyone who unsubscribed or does so between August 24th and September 7th will receive the project via DM.
#4 Rank changes, Taking effect on September 8th!
a) Lowest Tier
Now includes all regular ongoing series comics, whether it’s "Lisa," "Dragon," "Fountain of Growth," or a different series. Different stories will no longer be separated by tiers going foreward.
b) Middle Tier
Will feature all the downloads, regardless of story and all the new bonus images will be provided accordingly, instead of being an afterthought.
c) Highest Tier
Will undergo minimal changes. However, stories will no longer be selected by regular votes but rather based on Lexy's judgment. Voting will still occur occasionally for specific cases.
Why these rank changes? Two months ago, I addressed some issues, but it only treated the symptoms rather than the root causes. The current system is unsustainable and needs to be addressed. These changes will allow for better focus and care on individual stories.
Tiers became pretty bloated. The previous structure was overly complicated, with different rewards that required a lot of work but had little in common in terms of workflow. Once one upload was finished, it was time to immediately move on to a different story with a new cast and scenes, which limited how much attention can be given for each series and also created a feeling of dragged-out pacing. Each series took time away from another.
By combining all series into one tier, we can, for example, have 3 or 4 "Lisa" uploads in a row, followed by several uploads of a completely different series. This will eliminate the productivity decrease that occurred whenever the artist had to switch between projects and also a better pacing for the stories.
Another issue this change addresses is the introduction and conclusion of stories. Previously, in typical german fashion, I aimed to tailor everything perfectly down to the last detail. Yeh, there is a reason why we rule Rplace but that means we are incapable of adapting to changing environments xD. While past rewards worked well for "Imouto," they might not fit a new project and prove to be very inflexible. Over time, this would lead to constant tier changes, which is not a sustainable approach. This is exactly what happened. Tiers should be sorted by content type, not by series, hence this new change.
Some of these changes are immediate, while others will be implemented gradually. Another update will be coming at the end of the week, as I've identified an issue with some of the assigned tiers on the website and have discussed potential solutions with the web developer. (Thanks Arianault for pointing it out)
Thank you all for your patience and continued support! As you can see a lot of the feedback already went immediately in here so keep it coming! I'm always open to new ideas and suggestions!

I like these changes as a middle-tier feller. Being able to download is what I like
LexyGTS
Yeah sure, but keep in mind there are a few hundred more people in that tier and I'm only one person! So if it was only for that, I'd recommend holding off for now.
Arianault
Glad I was able to help a little in finding a problem. The changes seem fair from my point of view and if they help you in getting a better workflow, it is even better!

If I buy the highest tier, do I have permission to send my ideas? if so Can i suggest an second choice of ideas on private or in the forum? Because I have a few ideas that might be worth making.
LexyGTS
Ah so it was in the context of the bonus stories, was missing that one. Yeah anything can be suggested again when requests are open again.
anonlatin17
I mean I previously proposed an idea for your Bonus comics, one for Imouto where is set on alternate timeline during chapter 12. For example, i sent this idea on a previous comission: Layla wants to make a baby and Ben barely persuaded her to wait for half a year. As they consume their relationship she grows as big as seen in chapter 13, only for Ben to wake up on top of Layla´s head as she walks to her new home. She shows hints that she is pregnant but stays quiet. This would be like an interlude before a sequel.

When we were tier 1 we have access to 2 comics and their download on the site directly. With the new rule, we will no longer be able to download but we will have access to "my pet dragon won't stop growing" and maybe more later. I'm just asking if lexygts.net will not have a reading limit since the download will no longer be available. Sorry, my English grammar is limited when I have to retransmit words, I read it much better
LexyGTS
In what context do you mean that?
LexyGTS
The votes have always been about rewards for that respective tier. So it never extended on other projects into other tiers. As for the first part, what exactly dou you mean with that? I'm having a hard time figuring it out.
anonlatin17
Allow me to ask this. Can my previous suggestions be considered if I post them again? And Sorry to ask this but this is my favorite series among your work, Can we expect Imouto sequel this year? And can we expect a few scenarios with Layla Pregnant ?
Corrompu
if there is no limited access to the site, the loss of downloading to have access to potentially more comics I sign every day. for the votes on the other hand, I understand that this remains a privileged part, but will certain votes be open if it concerns for example "lisa's growing journey"?
