Weekly Update #15 (Patron Changes Inside!)

There's no good nor relevant memes for this week.

My disappointment is immeasurable and my weekly update is ruined.

56 hours, woo. I really wanted to hit 60, but ended up procrastinating.

The True Endgame

Nothin' much to report here. I've realized that the latest chapters are pretty much just pure dialogue, but hey, it's slice of life and I love character interactions. I will say, though, that I plan on there being an erotic scene for each girl in the third volume.

Ero Dungeon Evolution

EDE is finally public! I've already gotten a couple of new patrons here who pledged because of EDE, so to those of you who are new, welcome aboard and thank you for your patronage!

I think that EDE is doing pretty well as far as new stories by unknown people on Hentai Foundry goes. It's doing better than ASV was at least. But, I don't really know how to judge how well a story is doing on there. I guess favorites and ratings, in which case, any favorites and ratings that you give that story are greatly appreciated!

Without really saying spoilers, new chapters are going to speed up a bit more here in a bit. The first 20 or so chapters are basically all taking place on the very first day of them arriving, but there'll be time skips soon to get through some leveling and training stuff and all that. I'm not going to make people read through every single tiny little bit of training and progress that the MC makes. Basically, all of the story thus far and for a couple of more chapters are just to build things up and lay a foundation for the rest of the story. Progress will be made more quickly soon enough.

Also, as I'm sure some of you have noticed, I'm not really on a strict schedule for EDE. I've been posting one chapter a day lately, but my real goal is to post a minimum of three chapters a week. So, there'll always be at least three chapters a week, but I'm not going to promise that you are going to get a chapter a day forever.

Finally, something I've realized is that if and when I post this story to RRL, I'm going to have to deal with a bunch of people talking about how it's a cuckolding/netorare story when they get to the part with the threesome between Zrip, Lily, and MC. I've already had a few people comment on TTE in RRL about how they dropped it because of that and have had other people message me privately about how they hate stories involving cuckolding and cheating and all that... but they're completely missing the point. It's not cuckold, netorare, cheating, or anything else like that. Damian and Lily may have crushes on each other to some degree, but first and foremost, their relationship is more like a BDSM dom/sub relationship. Also, the MC is very sexually open and basically used to be a prostitute. He also basically wants to run a sex dungeon for visitors both male and female and anything else. Saying that it's cuckolding or netorare is like saying that pimps are cucks for letting their hos make some cash.

I'm calling it now. I'm going to get negative reviews and people will stop following just because of those two chapters. I would be willing to bet actual money on it if I had any.

Monday & Friday Monster Girls (Patreon Reward Changes)

I've come to the conclusion that I'm going to stop giving my side stories early access on Patreon. They will still get posted on Patreon, but they'll be posted at the same time as they're posted publicly.

1. As far as I know, not a single person is actually pledging me any money specifically because they want early access to the side stories. That was more of a bonus added to the tiers after I already had a bunch of patrons.

2. They hardly ever update, so it just seems silly to keep them exclusive and held back from the public given how slow the actual updates are.

3. Because they hardly update and I am not giving myself a consistent schedule for them, I don't feel that they are worth paying for in the first place. When you are paying me, you should be getting something. People who pay for TTE consistently get TTE every day. People who pay for EDE get EDE at least three times a week and, for now and probably at least another month, EDE every day. So, basically, if you're only paying me because you want early access to my side stories then you probably shouldn't be paying me in the first place since you're not getting anything for your money.

??? and Others

All I can say is that while I technically haven't written the first chapter of ??? yet, I have a document full of plotting for it, other stories, and how everything ties together. It's really starting to look like EDE's and ???'s universe is going to be one that goes on for a long time. The more I plan and plot and write, the more I fall in love with the universe and come up with more ideas. There are so many stories to tell in this universe from a whole bunch of different perspectives over a long course of time, and while I know this is me getting ahead of myself and I'm not making any promises that any of this will actually happen, I think that this universe might be my flagship product. All I can hope for is that it ends up being financially viable to pour so much time and energy into it, because as of this moment, I've got EDE, ???1, ???2, ???3, and ???4 all planned as main stories that will have multiple volumes each. No, I'm not going to be doing them all at once since I know I'll get overwhelmed, but I'm just saying that I have a lot in store for this universe I've created.

In Closing

I'm hungry and really want sushi. Thanks for reading all of this, thanks to the new patrons for pledging, MMG and FMG are no longer going to be exclusive, other stuff, thanks again, and see you next week!

Oh, I'm going to type EDE first and then I'll be posting the PDFs for the $10 tier.

Have a lovely week!
