The road ahead...

There's a lot of work to do before the book is Kindle ready, and I want you guys to know how I'm going to be spending my time.
I plan on spending at least 2 weeks editing/copyediting/brainstorming book 3
the list of issues to address is as follows:
bar transition in chapter 3 needs to be clearer
move the mention of the parade somewhere earlier.
Cut Vegas and Alcatraz as the locations and their lenses served no purpose in the plot. it would be more fun to actually visit them for real some other time. spend a few chapters on it in another book.
explicitly lay out the scene where Jeb gets letter to meet Brett and Amanda outside. perhaps in the calm or the chapter before?
Make sure Jeb mentions Zlesk deserves credit to the emeperor.
change dead Casey's name (too many caseys)
give Eddie the science guy a new name, or nickname (It's the same as Eddie the evil guy from book 1)
Address allusions to mind control by emperor
Add stat update at end of story.
Check in with Vresh, wrap up Colt/Nancy + the teachers/kids/scientist, a conversation with Jess,
Smartass's perspective on the Emperor,
maybe a bit about the courier/assassin guy,
maybe more questions about the nth dimensional leeches that impart knowledge,
maybe mention what Jeb's gains were from his deal with Vresh.
Maybe some more science babble on how he figured out how to do the triggers for his semi non existent class.
...And a whole bunch of minor in-the-moment shit.
^about half of these of these were user suggestions. If you have any more, please let me know in the comments. I will try to write a couple chapters of WotR (another story of mine) during the two weeks while I'm taking breaks from editing. (I hate editing)
If you're bummed out about not getting much more of my stuff to read, check out https://www.royalroad.com/profile/100060/fictions
I've got four separate stories, (And two of them have endings!)
If you want the most bang for your buck, consider hopping out of the Patreon, skipping March and then come back in April, when I'm most likely going to be in full production mode with half a month under my belt already.
If you wanna stick around and help me make the story better, or help influence what the next book is gonna be about, that would be much appreciated. The channels to do so are on Discord.

I'm going to gradually release the book 2 chapters to the public over the course of March, so you will likely dip below the patron benchmark of 7/14/all chapters ahead, but when the new story starts up, you will be many months ahead of public release, and the patron lead will be gradually built up again so hopefully it evens out. I caught some trouble for not being clear enough about that for book one.
TLDR: I'm going to be editing for 2 weeks, no apocalypse chapters during that time.
Thank you for everything! Feel free to message me here or on discord if you have questions, I don't have much of a life!

What fiction are you currently writing and where do I read it?
Macronomicon
not tired so much as it's reached a point that is very challenging to continue, and I want to move out of this apartment and start a family, and GSA is more conducive to that.
Dale Tucker
Sup, what about wake of the ravager? Are you already tired of that one?
Macronomicon
The plan is to release about 4 per week. I just reworked my math and realized I messed up the numbers pretty good =P stay tuned for more on most of the weekdays
Notcreepycreeper
Hey, is there anyway you could keep releasing chapters to lower tiers? Even at just $1 a month I've definitely paid more than what the Kindle book will cost overall.
Macronomicon
Spoilers? For what?
SunderGoldmane
Lots of good suggestions for the story there.
Rascon
wtf spoilers T_T
Jeff Scott
Dude, spoilers for lower tiered patrons...
Cameron S. Moore
I liked the Vagas trip, little open plot points make the story feel more realistic to me. Alcatraz should be cut though, that sounded like a lot of story just brushed aside.
Macronomicon
yeah, probably gonna try for a third.
Toknightly
Does this mean GSA three is in the works after publishing on KU or are you moving on to a new story? Also if you get a release date for GSA2 on Amazon and send it to litrpg podcast they will announce it every podcast until the book release in the new and upcoming releases section of the podcast
LordDark
Exactly. You dont comprehend gods.
Macronomicon
I don't even know how to comprehend that.
LordDark
How about Casey the Third is the human god whereupon they fracture themselves and all Caseys across time and space are just a piece of Casey the Third. Which would mean the baby exists as third generation paradox.
Macronomicon
hmmm... im not sure how to incorporate, but i'll copypasta the suggestion and think on it
Chris
You may want to add a few more lines about the system in one way or another. I would like to see mention of how to cheat with the dimensional leeches. LITRPG podcast review on the first book was good but complained about the lack of system elements. That may not mean much but his recommendations do get around.
Macronomicon
will add it to list of edits.
Arnon Parenti
Should maybe talk about the gale in the list of dangers moving through the desert, its an odd thing not to mention the huge living storm of death and doom when random insect monsters are talked about.
Macronomicon
? As far as i know there's only one person blacklisted. I've seen plenty of people skip months to save money. why on earth would they be automatically blacklisted for dropping out?
Arnon Parenti
Please check the blacklist on Patreon, anyone who wants to skip a month wont be able to come back after if they are added Automatically.
Macronomicon
I don't know what he would be doing, running mail as a side gig, but that is a funny thought.
Macronomicon
coo'
Ricky Kukowski
I just want to say I noticed and liked the Eddie name repeat. Names repeat and it made it feel more real. A different nickname might work though.
Arnon Parenti
Can assassin guy be the deliverer of the note from Brett? Would be hilarious and awesome. Like I just failed trying to kill you but here is your mail.
