Quick PSA: Cataclysm War Chapters!
🕑 Added 2026-01-10 02:41:48 +0000 UTCHello!
This is just a quick PSA to let you all know that, now that I've amply dumped over 100,000 words onto Patreon (woohoo, we did the halfway mark in less than a month!) and sufficiently gotten you glorious bastards far ahead of Royal Road (Book 2 launches Jan 12th), I'll be slowing down Patreon Chapters to 1-2 a day at maximum.
Because I'm not a complete bastard, I'll make sure you get the conclusion to the Rite of Ascension Arc fully before I do this, but after that we'll be winding back. This is not due to burnout, and it is not due to exhaustion, it's simply because I need to be more disciplined about backlog.
If I ever get sick, unwell, et cetera, I need to be able to keep releasing chapters to make your payment worthwhile, from a purely logical mercantile standpoint, and I need the mental security of knowing I have that backlog in those situations. At current speed, I'm averaging about 1 - 4 Chapters a day based on my energy levels, and I don't foresee that changing.
However, it also means I get to go into Book 3 with some Chapters built up in case I do need to just relax for a bit. This won't be for Sanguine Prince, because that's just editing, but the System Incursion Chapters will be cut down a bit (unless I really want some feedback) just to preserve my own peace.
I know this may piss some of you off, since nobody likes having something they're already given taken away, but Zogarth (Primal Hunter) gave me this advice, and I'm inclined to agree with him. I hope you've all been enjoying Book 2, no matter how divisive the latest Arc has been, and I want to thank each and every one of you for your hard-won dollars in support. The Patreon thing motivates me massively and I feel honored you want to support me.
See you soon for Chapter 35 - 37, and then we'll probably slow down from there.
Cheers,
Hannibal

I never took this period as the norm of what to expect on terms of release frequency tbh. It felt more like getting spoiled honeymoon style. This does sound much healthier and sustainable. To a long and lovely run brother π»
