A bit of news (09.03.2025) - Future Price Restructuring
Added 2025-02-09 16:05:06 +0000 UTCY'ello,
So I will just start with the bad news: I will be raising prices, after the current Gamer arc concludes.
The last time I did this was well over 6 years ago and things have gotten more expensive since. I struggled against this for as long as possible, but the truth of the matter is that I like to eat.
Now, there will also be a reward restructuring going alongside it. My buffer has been consistent these last few years around 20 chapters counted out from the 10$ Tier. I therefore think I can have there be some more reading ahead available.
Here are the changes i am currently thinking of:
Reader Tier:
Cost: 2$ -> 3$
Chapters Ahead: 3 -> 5
Awesome Pledgeling:
No Changes (I believe this tier offers fairly little, so I cannot justify a price increase)
Sponsor:
Cost: 10$ -> 12$
Chapters ahead: 5 -> 10
FANatic:
No changes (I think this one is good and I cannot offer more of the buffer)
Now, it will be at least a few more months before I go through with this, so do let me know in the comments if any of this is a deal breaker for you. I'm trying to find the sweetspot of making more money without losing any customers, so you feedback is integral.

I think it's totally fine

2025-02-10 05:05:54 +0000 UTCI thank you for your support, but that is a rather niche situation. If funds are tight, you should cancel one or the other. Broadly speaking, loathe as I am to say it, Patreon is still the better service.

2025-02-10 02:08:12 +0000 UTCI was considering 15 (which would be 5 Times the reader Tier, as it had been before) but I think that's too much of a jump to be palatable

2025-02-10 02:07:02 +0000 UTCNot a problem for me. I support you because I want you to be able to keep writing. If this enables you to do that, then I'm good with it. Double the chapters ahead is a pretty damn good deal too

2025-02-09 18:05:05 +0000 UTCAre these going to be the only 2 tiers? I do $10 on both patreon and subscribestar to support, but if both are going up, I may have to choose one, as my funds are very limited at the moment. Also, which do you prefer if I have to drop one? Maybe add a tier between the $12 and $25?

2025-02-09 16:47:21 +0000 UTC10-> 12 is totally fair, mabw a little too low even, since we get double the chapters ahead Your woek has been a steady companion for me so a price increase is not a problem at all, i did wonder how long you held onto old proces tbh

2025-02-09 16:10:17 +0000 UTCI for one, have no problems with this. You have to be able to support yourself either way
