Managed to get 50 hours again last week, and we're off to a good start today with 11 hours! You might notice, if you actually look and/or care, that the hour:word ratio is a bit off for this past weekend and today. That's because a lot of the weekend was spent working on EDE's system and revising the first draft, and then today I spent a good few hours continuing that and uploading all of my stories to Honeyfeed! That's right, finally, all of my stories are on Honeyfeed. Let's just hope that none of them get taken off for being too lewd or anything like that since there aren't really any rules aside from some legalese stuff in the terms of service.

The True Endgame

I think I ended up making this second volume a bit too action-y and not as slice-of-life-y as I'd like it to be, but I'm still happy with it. We'll definitely be seeing a return to very heavy focus on slice-of-life in the third volume. 

Ero Dungeon Evolution

Hell yeah, finally working on this and giving it the love and time it deserves. I'm extremely excited about this. I'm also thinking I'm going to try and make just tiny enough changes to make it RRL acceptable, and if there are any super lewd scenes, I'll just cut them out for the RRL version and tell people to read the uncensored version somewhere else. 

ANYWAYS, HUGE PLANS FOR THIS

Subverting Tropes in Another World

Oh boy, here we go.

Alright, I know that this is going to disappoint some of you since I know a few of you have already told me this is your favorite story now and can't wait for more and so on, but I've decided to put this story on hold for now. Here's why:

1. While I have plenty of ideas in my head for this story, they are just random little snippets that aren't necessarily tied together in any way. I've got random character ideas, small plot moments, etc. all in my head. Alas, that's not enough for this sort of story.

2. This story, if I want it to be done right, requires much more attention and planning than I am willing to give it right now. If I'm not careful with how I write this story then it just turns into another generic isekai no different from the thousands of them already out there. For the story to really be about subverting tropes, I need to actually put in a ton of effort to actually subvert them and not just make the character sound like an edgy cliche hater. Doing the opposite of what would normally happen in a cliched moment just for the sake of not being cliche isn't really that interesting, in my opinion.

3. I have enough of a plot in my head for 2 or 3 more chapters at most, but then I have no idea how to tie everything together and to keep it interesting. If I were to keep on forcing myself to try and write it then it would just turn into another A Slave's Voice, and those of you who read it know how weird that got once I realized I had no idea what to do. I never want a story to end up like ASV again, so if I were to continue writing STAW right now, it would just end up being another story in need of a major revision after a couple of months.

4. I'm just more interested in my other stories right now and STAW is holding me back from writing them. I went into this in the weekly update yesterday. I love the idea of STAW, and I love the characters I have in my head for it, but I just don't think now is the right time for it. It won't be a story with quality that I am proud of if I were to continue writing it right now. I already hope that nobody goes to check out ASV because I'm ashamed for what I let happen to it, and I really don't want that to happen again.

As far as STAW's future goes, I'm not going to promise that I'm ever going to write it, but I'm not going to say that I won't. I think it might work better as a weekly series where a different trope is subverted every week, but again, to be executed well means a lot more work than I am ready to put into it right now.

Now, in regards to TTE and EDE, I honestly do not believe that the problems surrounding STAW will ever affect either of those stories. I still have an absolute fuck ton of content planned for TTE - enough to easily last the rest of the year in daily uploads, and I have just as much content in my head for EDE. Then there's ???, but I'm not going to say anything else about ???. 

Hell, when it comes to TTE, I just got another volume's worth of ideas the other week. I also get new ideas for EDE on an almost daily basis. 

In the end, it comes down to this: my heart just isn't in STAW right now. It already needs revised, needs way more planning, and deserves far better execution than it currently has. I feel bad for those of you who I know were looking forward to it, but this is the best thing I can do right now regarding STAW. 

So, once more, I am sorry for any disappointment that this announcement will cause. This is part of why I am just not going to talk about future projects anymore - I don't want to disappoint people and get hopes up only for it to be cancelled. I hope that those of you who decided that this is your favorite story now can still find interest in the other stories that I am writing.

MMG/FMG

Yeah, these stories are still a thing. Next MMG for $10 will be a varied chapter coming back to all of the relationships thus far, and next FMG will be a not-loli femdom vampire.

In Closing

I'm tired. I'm going to go to bed, I think. I look forward to hopefully hearing from many of you regarding your thoughts and opinions on EDE thus far!
