Summer Schedule + Amazon news
Added 2022-04-26 17:31:21 +0000 UTCHello all, as promised here's an update on the summer schedule.
First Thing's first. A small update for those who are doing re-reads on Kindle/Audible - DotF Book 5 Release has been moved up to May 20, roughly 2 weeks earlier than the original schedule! As such, the chapters will have to be removed from RR/Patreon in a week.
As for the schedules, I'll try to go down from 6 to 4 no-chappy days next. I'm still trying to strike a good balance between a manageable workload and maximum chapter output, so this is not a final schedule or anything.
I also plan on moving these editing/plotting breaks to the middle of the months, since it kind of feels a bit bad with no chapters at the end. With this change, those who re-up will get a conclusion to the cliffs quicker, on those rare occasions where the month ends on an uncertain note.
For July, my goal is to only have 3 days of editing, but it's too far off to sign off on here - I don't know how my private stock will look at that point in time.
Finally, in August I will pause charges, and there will be no chapters at all. I'm taking a proper vacation.
For those not familiar with how that works, there will be no charge on Aug 1st for active patrons. You will still retain access to the VIP discord channels and the early access chapters on here without any cost. In other words, July subscriptions will essentially pay for 2 months of patronage.
However, new or returning patrons will be charged as usual as they gain access to the whole catalog of early access.
TL;DR:
May Schedule: No chapters 16, 27,30,31
June Schedule: No chapters: 13,14, 16,17
August: NO CHAPPIES, NO CHARGIES, NO WORRIES

Also patreon subs aren't a purchase, I dont pay x money and get x return. TFD isnt under any legal obligation to put anything onto this despite us paying him, naturally if you are ever dissatisfied you can unsub but you'll miss out when he does. The patreon TOC is lengthy but clear on his/our commitments

2022-07-25 18:45:27 +0000 UTCokay, thanks for the clarification
2022-07-21 00:30:19 +0000 UTCSo first of all, on the days that the author doesn’t release a chapter on patreon, he will not upload a new chapter on royal road. So, you will always be 50 chapters ahead of the royal road chapters, even if there are more break days. Following this logic, there will be no new chapters on both royal road and patreon in August, so those 50 chapters ahead still apply. (Sry for long comment)
2022-07-20 02:01:18 +0000 UTCSooo what happens if you pay for 50 chapters per month and get less than that?
2022-07-20 00:40:05 +0000 UTCAugust is gonna be so difficult

2022-04-28 05:23:39 +0000 UTCThat's a very elegant and honest solution for a month break. I hope you'll have an awesome vacation :)

2022-04-26 21:12:54 +0000 UTCMore like on the extremally rare day when you know what the hero will be doing in the next chapter rather than being 6 feet under or running for his life because "he chose poorly" :P

2022-04-26 17:46:18 +0000 UTCAny suggested daily serials to chase down for August? I'm on "beware of chicken" and "paranoid mage" but I wouldn't mind finding another series to join if anyone has suggestions.
