Announcement: one week delay due to travel and planning (and a little burnout).
🕑 Added 2024-05-18 15:10:14 +0000 UTCSo Bob is late. I intended to make the announcement that I was taking a short break sooner but I wanted to release the chapter first, only I'm really struggling with it. I am currently traveling in Japan with Void Herald. I also need to plan the next arcs on both Changeling and Bob, as such there will be no Bob or Changeling chapters next week. The late Bob chapter will be published soonish. It's really just the last 2k words I'm having difficulties with.
Sorry about that. There are just moments when making things fund is... difficult.

Enjoy your trip!

take all the time you need - I always appreciate authors just being honest about having a block/burnout and openly communicating that instead of just vanishing for months

Nah I am sorry for this probably incomprehensible rant. Flanderization just pisses me off so much.

Well his first story magik online was passion project (it was also risky as in VH used imagination to write something different than everybody else as VH became more successful VH stopped doing anything that would be risky and different. That is opposed to Mecanimus who based the whole event chain of Bob on a god of luck wanting to know what it was like in female body). Vainquier was based on his and his friends world and experiences from dnd. After that comes never die twice a shorter story to bridge the time between Vainquier and Perfect run. That's when I think he started chasing flashy but ultimately shallow worlds. Evil mc necromancer+nordic world and it all ends evily (there is "revelation" but it's not exactly suprising just not badly written). Kairos was I think the bigget let down because VH got burned out and had to take some time off. You would need to dig into old author notes and patreon only notes but it's there. I don't control eloquently enough to convey this properly probably but just look at themes of VH stories and try to compare them with the most popular fictions six months before they were released. TLDR: Vain Herald is a pulp fiction writter while Mecanimus is the Pulp Fiction writter.

It's been a while since I read Void stories. Can you give me an example so I can check it out.
Young Youghurt
That I hope Mecanimus won't turn out like Vain Herald. Edit: Chasing multi medium influence and chapter release rate instead of quality. Edit2: and not doing any inovative fresh ideas anymore just pandering to mainstream with combinig two popular things at the time. (There is no shame in just doing the most popular thing without any passion but it's no great honor either.)

Jealous! Have fun on the trip. Rest and recover

Never beat the Muse for content. I think taking the time you need is important and guarantees us Bob at her best.

take your time, enjoy your trip.
Denva
What do you mean.

If youβre not having fun writing Bob I say take a few weeks off of it to regain some momentum. Itβs a great story! I just hope you do it the best justice instead of struggling through it and quality not being great. Just my opinion! Have fun on your trip!

I would rather have a late, well-written Bob chapter than have an on-time, chopped, insult to world literature.

No stress! Take your time.
GSN
Relax, have fun and forget the world for a few moments. Take as long as you like and more before returning.

> I am currently traveling in Japan with Void Herald. There's gotta be a story kernel here. Two French litRPG authors who write in English having wacky, mostly-idiomatic adventures...
JLM
Take a break and enjoy the vacation bro. You deserve it.
Daniel B
Hope you enjoy the trip

Have fun in japan. I loved my 2019 trip there. Don't mess with your trip stressing about other things
Mikkel Poulsen
Take your time we aren't going anywhere and instead enjoy the vacation :)
Andrew Moreton
Take your time and release things when you are happy with them, not because you have to keep to a schedule
Oblique
Have fun mister author! Burn the burnout back. Take as long as you need.
Young Youghurt
Please give yourself time and love you need to restore your oceans of passion. (I would love to hate and dig into passionless derivative writing of certain Vπ€π€π€π€ but it's not appropriate and silence is golden)
Aclys
Turns-out to stop a burnout, then a breaks is just the thing! so take some time, we will be just fine, promise not to cling! Just come back to amuse when a muse can choose to sing!
Nicholas Del Rossi
No problem, mate. Your story is not only great but great value you only charge five dollars and we get all these chapters and theyβre such a ridiculously high-quality enjoy Japan. Iβd say I canβt wait for the next chapter as thatβs the expression for liking something as much as I like this story but it seems like Iβm going to have to wait, so I suppose instead Iβll say see you next week Iβll be here about the second. It comes out.
Emily Gurnavage
Aw well, it'll come eventually at least. This is one of the more professionally written works I follow, so I've never much minded the waits. Id rather it be up to standards and take longer. . Enjoy the trip! I wanna go one day. I was born in Japan (Iwakuni) but left at 1.5yrs old and have never gone back. I dont speak the language or know toooo extensively the culture or nothin, but wanna see the place anyway.
Kennyevilmonkey
Don't push yourself to much, and have fun in Japan.
Joshua Aarons
Get better dammit
Enif
Take the time you need. The story is all the better for it π

Thanks for the update. Rest recover and have fun in Japan.
brunoid
