Syl Book 3 Cover (And Happy New Year)
🕑 Added 2024-12-31 19:51:19 +0000 UTCSo, first thing, I got the fancy cover for Syl 3 to show off! I absolutely love it, especially the glowing mushrooms! Big thanks to Tsuu and Mango Media for this. It really captures the "underground" feel I was hoping for.
Going for a "slime world tour" sort of vibe, with book 1 being the forest, book 2 being floating islands, and now book 3 being the underground. Book 3 should be wrapping up around chapter 240, depending on how much I yap, and I'm super excited for book 4 (the plot of which was technically supposed to start 50% through book 3, whoops!)
I also just wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year and thank everyone for your support. 2024 has been an absolutely crazy year for me, and I cannot wait to see what 2025 has in store.
Speaking of which, I do have another announcement...
I wrote another story and plan to launch it soonish on RR. What started as one chapter I wrote every one or two weeks to practice writing and try out a slightly different genre somehow became an entire book.
I had a lot of fun writing it. It's a Progression Fantasy rather than a LITRPG and very magic-focused. It's not a monster-MC, but it's still non-human, especially the supporting character.
I'll release the opening 8 chapters on Thursday and then post 1 chapter every day until the RR release (I might need to dump multiple at the end when I decide to officially release; we will see).
Also:
The new story will not affect Syl's schedule.
Syl is still my primary focus, and I have enough of a backlog for the new story to ensure this.The new story's release schedule (after the initial launch and some Rising Stars stuff) will be Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
The new story will be included in my current Patreon tiers.
I considered having it in its own tier or doing a combo tier, but I thought I'd rather not alienate my Patreons. I hope people will follow "Lunadea" and potentially any stories I write in the future.I hope you enjoy it or will at least give it a shot.
If it's not your cup of tea, I hope you can ignore the chapters as, unfortunately, there's no real way for me to have "opt-in" for a specific story (other than making it an entirely new tier, which I want to avoid...)
Anyway, enough rambling. Thanks, everyone, again!

Awesome cover, I really like this one! Also, I’m excited to see a new story focus on magic, that will be cool.

How exciting! Looking forward to it? Would you be willing to post the synopsis for us too? The one you’ll eventually put on RR? I’d love to know more about this story

I did think about it, but there was no way to somehow incorporate it with my legacy/grandfathered tiers. Like the norm is $10 tier per story, $15 combo tier. But ideally I'd want to offer a $10 combo tier for my legacy patreons. I spoke to some other authors over some ideas or solutions (like one suggested making a temporary tier and then sending a discount code to all the legacy patreons) but it became so convoluted that I just decided I'd rather keep it simple.

Honestly, that's a ridiculously fair deal. I at least wouldn't mind paying for a combo tier, though it's likely better if things are kept as they are. Still, not everyone would've made that choice. Thanks! Also, happy new year, of course!

Wow, that's so awesome! The 3rd cover looks so cool! I'm excited for the new story, too. Writing two stories at once with such an update schedule is mine blowing.
