Important Update. v2
🕑 Added 2025-08-26 09:55:00 +0000 UTC(Sorry for the inconvenience! Please read this again as I’ve simplified the process. Instead of using a password, you will now just need to connect your Patreon account.)
Hi everyone, I want to share a small but important change in how I’ll be releasing chapters.
Unfortunately, I’ve already seen some of my translations being reposted on unauthorized sites without my permission (including early access chapters T_T). This kind of content theft makes it harder for me to keep providing regular updates and goes against the support you’re generously giving here.
To better protect the early access translations and make sure they stay as exclusive content for pledged members, I’ll be moving the full chapters off Patreon and onto Itch.io with Patreon Access enabled.
How It Works
On Patreon, I'll continue posting a teaser or excerpt of chapters as usual. The full chapter will be uploaded on Itch.io in PDF/EPUB format. The Patreon post will include a private link to the Itch.io page. When you click it, you'll need to link your Patreon account to your Itch.io account, and access will be granted automatically if your pledge is active.
What You Need To Do
Create an Itch.io account if you don't already have one (it's free)
Link your Patreon account to your Itch.io account in your Itch.io settings
Click the private Itch.io link from the Patreon post to access the chapter files
You do not need to pay again on Itch.io—this is just where the files are hosted. Patreon remains the only platform where pledging is required.
FAQ Section
Q: Do I need to pay again on Itch.io?
No. You only need to support me on Patreon. The Itch.io links are free for members once you've linked your Patreon account.
Q: Do I need an Itch.io account?
Yes, you'll need to create a free Itch.io account and link it to your Patreon account. This is a one-time setup.
Q: Why are you doing this?
Because full Patreon posts can be easily copied by automated scraper sites. By hosting the chapters on Itch.io with Patreon verification, it helps protect the translations and makes leaks harder.
Q: What if I cancel my pledge, or if I was a past member but didn’t renew?
Access is tied directly to your active pledge on Patreon. If you cancel, you'll lose access automatically. Past members who are no longer pledged won't be able to access the chapters. Only active members can access the content.
Q: Can I still read chapters on mobile?
Yes! Itch.io works on both desktop and mobile. You can either read the PDF/EPUB directly in your browser or download it to your device.
Thank you so much for understanding and continuing to support the translations.
If you have any trouble accessing the Itch.io page or linking your accounts, just comment here or message me on Patreon and I'll help right away.
New pledged members can also comment on this post or send me a message so I can make sure you receive everything properly.

All of the chapters that are already posted, as well as those that will soon be free, will remain here.

Thanks for your update! I'm just a tiny bit confused, will the free chapters remain on here, or will all current and future chapters of all of your novels (wizard, imitator,...) be on Itch.io? 0.o

As long as the quality of your work remains steadfast, no problem with switching site. I would also feel cheated if I was in your shoes
