November 17 Update
🕑 Added 2024-11-17 17:57:48 +0000 UTCIf you haven't seen already, my newest book is out! You can get it here:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DML13DV1
I'd guess that everyone knows about this by now, but every time I post an announcement there are always a few people who learn for the first time. Synopsis and stuff are in the link.
On a more personal note, this might appeal to you if you like certain aspects of TLS: the sense of deconstructing common tropes (in this case LitRPG/cultivation) or including MFF relationships (this is poly over harem). Please consider giving it a try if you're into this sort of thing!
The book has not sold particularly fast so far... which is what happens when you abandon your promotion infrastructure and start over with a new pen name, but that's what I did. >_> Unlike games, however, books aren't as reliant on early sales and can possibly catch on later, so we'll see how it does over the first month. On the note of promotion, please check out and consider upvoting the threads I just posted:

Anyway, this has been one of my goals for some time, so I'm glad to have reached this point. Another goal is coming up soon: the TLS epilogue should be posted this Friday.

Congrats on the release, hope it sells well! It's a recommend read for those who are on the fence about it.

You'll miss some of it if you're skipping these posts, but I'll be talking most weeks about the new additions. I'm pretty sure players will enjoy them as I try to make TLS the best it can be!

Oh, don't be sorry at all -- take however much time you feel you need to make TLS the best it can be! There are many creators on Patreon (Some of which I have even supported ;_;) from whom that statement would be concerning, but as long as I have been on Patreon you have been the single most consistent and reliable creator I have supported. Of course I want to play the full game as soon as possible -- Indeed TLS is on my current shortlist of games I plan to immediately purchase/play on release, with the only other games on that list being Judas, the PC port of Stellar Blade, and Showa American Story -- but I would happily accept waiting when that wait will realistically will lead to a higher quality game.

Epilogue and postgame are two separate updates, sorry, and there will be QoL work in between. Expect the full release in 2025, hopefully the earlier part.
AnythingAtAll
Highly, highly recommend this to anyone who's a fan of SL's work! It's so addicting to read once it hooks you.
Drifted
I appreciate it! Unrelated question but regarding TLS, does the epilogue include the planned post-game content, or are those two separate things? I try not to read too much of the posts on this Patreon to avoid spoiling myself, so I am admittedly chomping at the bit somewhat for the full release in what sounds like the not too distant future ^.^

It's long, but not quite as long. I can look into this, but it will have to be after the TLS update.

Out of curiosity, is this book in a similar situation to that of "A Hollow Mountain" and "The Unneccesary Victory" -- that is, is it too long to get a physical book version on Amazon?

It was completely anonymous at first, but after a number of months I let people know here. Not a true experiment, yes, but I felt like I'd seen my limits of anonymous growth, so I let NSFW fans know.

Not totally nothing, since you promoted your work on your usual platforms and people know it's you. In any case you deserve it, so it's not even a 'problem' XDXDXD

I wrote about it in some past post I can't remember, but there are two primary reasons: 1) Branding: Sarah Lin is SFW, whereas this series is closer to NSFW while not being adult. 2) I wanted to see how well I could do while a new project starting from nothing.

Question, why did you publish it under a new pen name ? Any particular reasons ?
