Sorry about this. Wrote a big old Rain spiel, but around lunch time, i looked it over and was like, "I hate this."Doin things a different way to keep the 6k word monologue from putting people to sleep, but its proving more difficult than expected. With Rain's ramblings, I can just from point to point with ease because his thought process naturally leads him there, but with other characters in the mix, I gotta like... make it more logical and natural. Anywho, Im gonna keep writing, and I hope to have it out tomorrow, but I got a thin...

I had front row seats to Akanais duel against the Demon Vivek Daatei. When Bastard Lius sword erupted from Yo Lings belly, I was standing in the splash zone. In Sanshu, Nian Zu unleashed the Shooting Star on Zhu Changzui, and I was almost knocked off my feet by the resulting aftershocks. It was all incredibly impressive, but then, in that same battle, I witnessed the Ancestral Mole-...

Wholly unperturbed and seemingly amused, the Legate lounges in my old bed with one eyebrow slightly raised, a gesture I often use which I only now realize can be utterly infuriating. For long seconds, he waits for my supposed explanation, but I overdid it with the big brain time and taxed my ...

Ever since Brigadier Hongji ordered the withdrawal and set fire to Sinuji, shed been drifting along in a surreal bubble of organized chaos.

I'm back. Also, Patreon taxes.
So as most have probably noticed, I'm back. 603 was posted just now, but I wanted to make a separate posts for a few reasons. First off, for 3rd grade warrant officers, you won't get a new release (chapter 603) until 602 goes live on july 14th, which means you gotta wait a little longer. Such are the trials and tribulations of a staggered release, so err... Surviveeeeeeee.Also, like the title says, Patreon Taxes. I did... something. Not sure if it did anything, or if it was even right, but I did it, and yea. Let me know if there's a...

Author Note: so like... I decided to try and finagle things so that the order to withdraw isnt given away in prev chapter. To make it more surprising? Instead, imma hint at it with hongji before the reveal.

So good news and bad newsGood news is my consultation went well, despite me spending a long ass time waiting. Everything is set for my wisdom tooth removal and those suckers are coming out.Tomorrow.Yes. Thats the bad news.

Ran outta time, gotta go walk dog and have dinner with parents. I'll have it done by tomorrow evening, though this probably means another wed-fri release week again. Sorry for leaving y'all on this cliff, but the new 599 cliff is less steep than before (i think), so there's that.See you all tomorrow.
Chapter 599 v2 unedited unmemed
I didnt do much proofreading, and only added ~1k words or so, so its not a huge change. Most changes are in the later half, including a different ending which might say more, but i thought it changed enough for another post.Imma work on editing 596 now, and Ill be having dinner with my parents for the first time in months tomorrow, so 600 may be late. Will still do my best to have 3 chapters out before I go on break the 19th, though Im still not 100% sure I will go on one. Dentists are working again, so I might just get my bottom wisdom...

Announcement of DOOOOOOOOOOOOM (sortofnotreally)
So Path of Exile announced a new league today, which starts June 19.At this current point in time and space, I am thinking I'm probably gonna maybe play it. Yes, that was a lot of qualifiers, but it doesn't look like the most fun league mechanic, and I kinda wanna keep writing, but I also kinda feel like I'm in dire need of a break.2020 has been a shit year for everyone, and I'm personally starting to feel the pressure. Nothing big, my problems are fairly minor, but the bigger issue is im in a place where it feels like there'...

Maybe some of it is true, and regardless of the facts, I accept that there may be lessons to be learned from these tales, but while religious teachings are not without merit, I could never bring myself to earnestly believe in stories which were told, retold, and written thousands of years ago.

Only 4.2k words atm, way too short to be released as is. I'll try to finished before bed, but I doubt I will, so expect it sometime tomorrow afternoon.Serious talk though, I'm really sorry about the recent rash of late chapters. I've been doing longer chapters, which were really only possible cuz Covid19 and social isolation made me spend more time writing, but even someone as anti-social as myself is starting to come apart at the seams. I find myself either slacking more, sleeping more, or just being less efficient. Dunno what I...
