My First Book is Published
🕑 Added 2023-05-09 13:18:39 +0000 UTCHello everyone. I've finally accomplished a lifetime goal of publishing my work, and in a form I'm proud of. Getting it out there has been preying on my anxieties in many ways, but I've pushed through and handled it. I could never have done this without all of your support. It's genuinely made an enormous difference. You guys can continue to support the story through the links below.
The audiobook is handled by James Patrick Cronin, and he's done some solid work with Lit-RPG already.
Many of you aren't in the financial position to pay for the story at the moment. That's completely fine. Reviews and Ratings on Amazon will help immensely. You don't need to buy the book to rate or review it. So please, do that and support the story. It's worth mentioning that ratings below 5 stars are essentially downvotes because of how the rating system on Amazon is set up. That lack of nuance is baked into the system, and I want you to all be aware.
Downloading the story on kindle unlimited helps too, if you have the app.
That amps up my algorithm game.
For real, you guys have made the story what it is. I still can't believe it's happening. I tried to publish on my own in 2018, and I ended up with a book I wasn't proud of. There were so many flaws in the early sections of the New World. You guys gave me so much time to refine my craft and improve, and it's allowed me to present what I've done without having to feel rushed or ashamed of what I've done. Thank you all for everything.

Hope you're doing ok and still kicking. This is a great story! I'm looking forward to the rest of it getting published with an audio version :) Monsoon if you're reading this, you got this man. Whatever it is you're doing, you're doing great π
Etez
Got notified of the 1β¬/$ option when I tried to cancel. And I actually took that instead. Thought why not, it's around the price of 1 ball of ice-cream nowadays :D
Etez
Yo need to sadly pause subscribing for a while too, waited long enough with no info, I hope you are doing well and not 6 feet deep..... But hey, money got tighter, can't pay for nothing. Will be there as soon as I get a new post notification from Patreon or RRL... or whatever the site's now called.... been a few years

Typical monsoon. Stop taking money if your not going to do your job. Ridiculous

What happened here
LeWorms
Had to leave cause my job wasnβt paying me enough to support others before myself but I came back to say CONGRATS. Been around since like ch50 and Iβm so excited you finally achieved your goal. I already bought the ebook π
Wrath
With no contact and No released chapters in these last couple months. I'm going to pause my subscription until I see progress. I have been hoping That we would see you post something or hear some kind of communication. But there's still nothing and it's been months. I've been a subscriber since 2020.
ArydinAzure
hello I really enjoy your story, but with how money suddenly got tighter in my family I currently do not have the spare cash to spend every month without any sign that you are still active. If my financial situation changes I'll be back, but for now I must bid you adieu and hope your life is going well.
SaintMaceToTheFace
Here it is in September, no contact. I love your story but Iβm going to pause my subscription until you are back.
SaintMaceToTheFace
I have left before because you went no contact. Iβm FINE if you have to take a breakβ¦.or work on something else IRLβ¦.but COMMUNICATE
Killer Pickle
What chapter does the book finish on and how changed/edited is it compared to the original found on royalroad/patron?
Kyle
So we don't get our free copy?
K
I look forward to whenever you come back! You always do. I know you already have the ending of the story in mind, or at least generally what endings it could be depending on the direction of how things go. I'd love to see you eventually reach that point, potentially with another book or two.
Wrath
Sir we're on three months no contact and no update about anything. Remember, we asked you the least. Tell us here what was going on. At least give us something here.
LolGamez
Bro!! WTF!!! No contact? How are you ok with flat out lying to people that pay you?
EsZeus
Any plan or idea when new chapters will be coming? :)
EsZeus
KU forbids that anyway. Contract and legally :)
EsZeus
Not possible anyway because its against KU policy and contract :) Before the release, he could have done that. Now its too late^^ But who cares! We want to continue reading more chapters xD
e
was very excited about the book release hoping that we will see more in short order
BigBukbBubs
I like to think he's trying to figure out how to get us the free e-book we were told we would have
LolGamez
Wh-where chappter? This feels like some cruel joke, being able read the published version yet having no new characters π
Braeden Madrid
Iβm stoked to have been able to contribute to this in a small way. Love the book bud, great job.
Areshan
1 the Rick and morty reference made me chuckle, 2 when althea upgrades her constitution for the first time, daniel made a reference to the premature detonation of the stasis pods that is no longer Canon. It's not a direct reference but I don't think Daniel blocked an explosion for althea other than that one, could be wrong
Blake Richardson
Congratulations!
Freedcats
James Patrick Cronin is brilliant! Just amazing. What a great choice

drag0nreb0rn
Drop a chapter
LolGamez
Ok, this is a fair reason to go MIA for a bit. Still wish you would break the radio silence a bit more often π₯π₯²
Tristan R Mitchell
The book is on Kindle Unlimited. Does that mean you are going to have to remove the earlier chapters from this site? I know you have to remove it from Royal Road and other free sites.

How do I redeem the "- Free copy of the e-book when it's released, edited and everything." benefit from my membership?
