Comments
I honestly have no idea what "directly after the events of Part 8" means here; nothing seems to be labeled "part 8" in the list (which may be a consequence of the early parts of the story being moved to Kindle).
Jeff Potato
2025-04-30 19:34:13 +0000 UTCHey, just wanted to ask, did the side-stories just stop after 8A 30? Because that did not feel like an ending point to me, and there was no announcement I could see that they were over, but going back, I can't see any bonus chapters past it either

2025-03-20 14:44:07 +0000 UTCIf a book is published on Kindle Unlimited, it is not allowed to be anywhere else on the internet, including behind paywalls (such as Patreon).
Geoffrey Turi
2024-12-01 20:29:02 +0000 UTCSo just wondering, now that they are being sold on Amazon are we not able to read them on here? Clicked on the link and it just took me straight to Amazon to buy it.
Robert Cappa
2024-08-18 13:44:22 +0000 UTCThe 1st book was removed from public access? Ouch. That's painful. I used to give references to the book at royalroad as examples... Well, one great book less then, 仕方がない.
Dzmitry Zaitsau
2024-05-13 12:55:16 +0000 UTCHow canon are the bonus chapters, I'm wondering? Some of them feel a little bit dubiously canon somehow, especially the stuff at the 18+ convention. It might just be that I went back to read them later.
Thomas Fogh
2024-02-22 01:08:40 +0000 UTCI'm new here, so excuse me if this has been answered elsewhere. Is Playing Coy the beginning of the story? Do I need to read Parts 1-5 to make sense of this? If so, is there any way to get Parts 1-5? Willing to pay, btw.

2023-12-03 19:12:41 +0000 UTCThe current pin is a series of links to the three guides that is kept up to date with most recent post information in their respective series. Pinning the three guides themselves would take up a huge amount of space.
FortySixtyFour
2023-07-16 18:31:57 +0000 UTCCould you pin this (and the TOC links for the other books as well). It’s a bit of a pain to load-more and scroll for days and days. Well, minutes and minutes anyway.
David Hoyt
2023-07-16 18:22:26 +0000 UTCThe Winter Rose (AnimeCon), by Miss Stephanie link just shows Miss Stephanie's page and that she isn't supporting creators atm. did she (Miss Stephanie) delete the content?

2023-04-26 01:33:30 +0000 UTCThank you!
Seria Rider
2022-11-09 08:18:40 +0000 UTCWith bonus chapters, starting on the first one and just clicking next at the bottom of each page works. FortySixtyFour has it set up to fill appropriate bonus chapters where they belong in the timeline. A few of the bonus chapters felt slightly off in the timeline, but it's pretty good. Without bonus chapters, you can just go chronologically as the chapters are laid out.
MrSkyentist
2022-11-09 07:21:24 +0000 UTCWhat's the best way to read the entire story in a coherent sequence?
Seria Rider
2022-11-06 06:07:45 +0000 UTCIs there a way to download all of this in one shot as an EPub?
Jardin
2022-10-23 22:58:44 +0000 UTCIt was the finale OF part 8, there will be several more parts before we get into the sequel story.
FortySixtyFour
2019-12-24 14:18:00 +0000 UTCI am a little confused about the timeline of late, but mostly curious- how much longer will this story continue? I noticed part 8 ended with "finale", will there be a part 9?
CredulaPostero
2019-12-22 00:53:17 +0000 UTCI'd say just message me somewhere. I've honestly been thinking about removing the ability to comment on them at all since 90% of the comments are readers accidentally hitting their keyboard and Docs keeping it as a suggestion.
FortySixtyFour
2019-07-09 11:16:00 +0000 UTCIs there a spot to give a suggestion one of the draft chapters if you are not above the $2 tier? I think I see away around the transition in one of the chapters that may assist your editing process.
Bradley Weyers
2019-07-07 12:42:16 +0000 UTCJust replied to your message about that, haha. I tagged it in the doc and sent you the link.
FortySixtyFour
2019-07-07 12:12:15 +0000 UTCI've been reading the story on RRL so i left off at "Upper Level". Where should i pick up reading the main story?
Medley
2019-07-07 07:50:43 +0000 UTCReally digging the Animecon harem story Forty, keep up the great writing!
Raymond Jeffries
2019-04-04 19:32:29 +0000 UTCTop of the list right now: Opportunity Struck pt 4.
FortySixtyFour
2018-12-18 20:31:49 +0000 UTC...You know, I THOUGHT they were the final drafts, but if it's still reading Obelus then I need to update. Thought I'd gone around and gotten all of them, but in hindsight I probably missed the updates that required manually formatting like here and Noveltrove, because it needs to be input via their native text editors. Thankfully, I'm spending most of December rechecking and updating things, haha.
FortySixtyFour
2018-12-18 20:26:32 +0000 UTCAlso on a different note, are these chapters the final drafts? I noticed you use either “Obelus” or “Oberon”as Brian’s instant messaging name depending on whether the chapters are here or on Literotica.
HornsOfTheseus
2018-12-18 20:22:21 +0000 UTCOoh, good hint. Then I would guess something like “Drowning in Blue” or “Tsunamis of Blue” since that would foretell Emily’s arrival (and joining of the harem). Pink also fits into four letters but the fact that Stephanie is involved is not much of a surprise.
HornsOfTheseus
2018-12-18 20:01:40 +0000 UTCI won't reveal it for quite some time, as it's a direct spoiler of the chapter's own content, haha. Also, consider colors and thematic elements! Most readers probably think of Stephanie when they read the title "Opportunity Struck." I'm not saying it's either of those things, of course--but I've never used a character name directly in a chapter title.
FortySixtyFour
2018-12-18 19:47:56 +0000 UTCAnne’s name does make sense as a plot device though since she is connected to Kelly getting help and because she would realize what happened with the charm since she was previously effected by it. Plus if you were trying to not make the name too spoilery to the reader, using a name that only appears at the end of the previous chapter makes a lot of sense in a book but not in the slow release format you are using in Patreon.
HornsOfTheseus
2018-12-18 19:37:10 +0000 UTCThe blanked out name for Chapter 7 is driving me crazy. I have been trying to figure out what fits in the 8 letters, 2 letters and then 4 letters boxes. The four letter one is the most tantalizing as it seems likely to be either ‘room’, ‘orgy’ or a name of a character. The character names that I remember (excluding Chloe’s patsy Ryan) that are four letters are “Mara” or “Anne”. Anything other than a proper noun or verb would be weird as you would expect an “a” or a “the” to precede a normal noun. For Mara, I would guess a title like the “Charming of Mara” but I could only see that happening as a way for everyone to realize something was up with the Harem charm as Brian doesn’t seem attracted to Mara (and she isn’t broken like everyone in Brian’s harem including Brian). For Anne, I could see it being “Messages to Anne”, “Entrance of Anne”, or “Warnings of Anne” although Anne’s first name has only been used once since none of the characters think of her as anything other than Emily’s mother and the last one is grammatically awkward as “from” would be preferable.
HornsOfTheseus
2018-12-18 19:33:03 +0000 UTCI'm keeping the guide linked at the top of the front page, but as it got larger and more complex I didn't want the whole thing laid out there.
FortySixtyFour
2018-12-17 21:45:57 +0000 UTCAre you going to pin this to the top somehow or make it part of the overview screen?
