Happy New Year!
Sorry, for the very late appearance, but between the holidays and everything, plus the Muse not cooperating, it took me far, far longer than I thought to complete the writing of this chapter.
On the plus side, you get a very big chapter. Hurrah?
I have sent the c...

As I had unfortunately told the readers a few days ago, I am far, far from completing the next chapter of The odds were never in my favour.
Some of it is due to the reason I began so late the writing this month, the other is because the chapter promises to be huge, and I do...
2024-12-29 07:57:49 +0000 UTC View PostAll right!
Despite my computer's attempts to swear fealty to the Chaos God of Broken Machines and Heretical Industry (also known as blue screens and malfunctioning), the chapter is ready in time, as it was prophesized.
All Praise the Man-Emperor of Mankind!
I'm going to re-read ...

I'm back!
And I bring you a little present early before next week. Just to give you a hint about what's going to be updated...
Otherwise, writing update. The preparations for the next chapter of The odds were never in my favour are almost over. And yes, I know I'm very late in the sch...
2024-12-22 12:18:49 +0000 UTC View PostThe time felt right, we are at the end of the Second Great Quest, so I decided yesterday an Impractical Guide to Godhood was necessary.
While I am pretty sure I did mention everyone important, well...it's entirely possible I missed someone, so don't hesitate to remind me if there's someone ...
2024-12-16 09:07:37 +0000 UTC View PostIt is time.
It is time to end the madness of the Sea of Monsters, for even the best things have an end.
But while this adventure is over, others wait in line for the heroes.
So let's swear eternal friendship a last time.
The Gods know all heroes and beings in this world ar...
2024-12-16 09:02:29 +0000 UTC View PostOkay, after a very rainy day which kept me quite busy (I have now a new bookcase in my bedroom to accomodate for the huge numbers of books and other magazines I keep buying, yes, it is the third bookcase, move along...), I am back for updates of an Impractical Guide to Godhood.
First off, t...
2024-12-14 10:11:19 +0000 UTC View PostProud citizens of the Republic of Madness!
I find myself unable to resist the calls of the Muse, which is pushing me to increase the word count of the current chapter of an Impractical Guide to Godhood!
At which point did I begin to have suspicions? Oh, when we were past 30K words and...
2024-12-11 11:49:04 +0000 UTC View PostReaders wanted more (grin).
Thus there is more available!
Here we go, he is the first (proper & long) teaser of the Return of the King, the Epilogue of the Second Great Quest.
There are punishments, politics, and...a lot of surprises.
Enjoy!
2024-12-08 14:32:16 +0000 UTC View PostHi, dear readers!
First, I wish to you all a happy beginning of December. And I wish you get a warm weather, warmer at least now than the one I have.
The writing of the Epilogue of this Arc of an Impractical Guide to Godhood has officially begun.
As promised, a small teaser belo...

The vote is officiall over.
By an immense majority, An Impractical Guide to Godhood is victorious. 65% of 313 votes, no less! Your beloved Tyrant is incredibly disappointed you made it so easy. He didn't even have to bribe or blackmail weak-willed Demigods (all of th...

Since it is going to be December soon, this means plenty of good things will come for Sanguinala-Christmas.
Obviously, first there will be Sanguinala, as in the Sanguinala update of TWO (the Commissars watching the betas told me everything is on schedule fo...
2024-11-26 10:09:16 +0000 UTC View PostThe task was hard, but thanks to the Muses, I have been able to complete this monthly update of The odds were never in my favour.
It is chapter 124, titled May of Diplomacy.
And yes, before you ask, it is going to be the Alexandra-style of diplomacy.
Why would it be anything els...
2024-11-26 09:58:30 +0000 UTC View PostOkay. 156 pages, word format. 56,376 words.
I think it's fair to say this is the biggest chapter of An Impractical Guide to Godhood I've ever written so far (and I hope it will stay the biggest for a long, long time).
Behold the Endgame.
And if you think that because you've read...
2024-11-20 10:26:42 +0000 UTC View PostAnd now for the really good news, the last teaser of Endgame is here!
Yes, it will be the last 'teaser' (it is 40,000 words-long, mind you).
Next update, you will get the entire chapter (which may or may not be close to the 55,000 words threshold).
But since I am sure everyone w...
2024-11-18 12:39:51 +0000 UTC View PostOkay, here is a new week, let's begin it with good news.
Here is the chapter 30 of An Impractical Guide to Good, Imperial Circus, and yes, it is the betaed, definite version of it.
If everything proceeds as per the plan, it will be posted tomorrow on all the other websites where I'm a...
2024-11-18 12:28:16 +0000 UTC View PostThe writing of the chapter is soon coming to an end (with the huge word count, it better be) so here is another teaser filled with madness!
As a result, you get the complete Sixth and Seventh Labours, and part of the Eighth one...for a total of 29,000+ words.
Please don't ask how long...

Or is it about descending into the arena once again? I tend to forget...
No matter! In a world of madness, the only way to win is to be the maddest hero around!
That's Perseus-Kairos theory, at any rate.
We will see if he manages to survive what...
2024-11-13 14:52:03 +0000 UTC View PostOkay, as was foretold, here we go for the second teaser.
The redaction of the chapter has advanced well enough (at close to 30,000 words) to justify revealing the entirety (or close enough) of the Sixth Labour, which is...err...already 11,000 words or so long.
Sigh.
I have a fee...
2024-11-10 15:55:33 +0000 UTC View PostYou have waited for the madness for a long time, here it comes.
Note to the real world outside: that I write something about Kairos Theodosian reincarnated into Perseus Jackson, a former Tyrant noted for its craziness doesn't mean you had to use the Fates to make outcomes that are utterly c...
2024-11-08 15:36:09 +0000 UTC View PostAll right, here comes the next chapter of The Dance is not Over, Vae Victis.
I have corrected a lot of it this morning, so hopefully there shouldn't be too many mistakes and things to correct before the final update everywhere.
What is there after that?
Oh yes, now I remember. 2024-11-02 09:05:16 +0000 UTC View Post
I didnt write fast enough to complete the chapter before the end of the month, as I thought at the beginning of the week.
Oh, well.
That just means I have to give you the teaser, so that you return next month to give a like for the complete one!
Enjoy, and make sure the dragon s...
2024-10-31 13:23:20 +0000 UTC View PostHello, everyone!
I realised that there was a minor mistake with the last update's title: this was the unbetaed chapter 123 of The odds were never in my favour.
Not to worry, for the betaed chapter is now here.
It should be the final version of Week of the Tiger that I will updat...
2024-10-28 14:56:39 +0000 UTC View PostHi, readers and worshippers of Hecate!
Here is the next chapter of the adventures of Alexandra, which for reason I think are beyond evidence, has been titled Week of the Tiger.

2024-10-25 10:53:16 +0000 UTC View PostOkay, here we go again...I hope.
I have checked everything again to avoid the problem of two days ago, and I'm reasonably confident it shouldn't happen. Obviously, if a chapter is reduced to five words, it will be the sign something has gone wrong...again.
One astute reader mentioned ...
2024-10-18 11:43:15 +0000 UTC View PostOkay, of all bloody things to happen...it seems that Patreon, for some reason that I still struggle to understand, literally erased the file of the update.
Seriously, how the hell did it happen?
I don't understand, the moment I saw all the messages of error, I went to check over and ...
2024-10-16 15:52:16 +0000 UTC View PostOkay, here we go!
Let's begin with the good news.
The writing of TWO is almost done, final version is going to be sent to the beta soon, final update (at least where the non-beta-ing is concerned will be here before the end of the week.
As such, today you get a not-update.
Since I am on a good writing roll...
Well, enjoy this nice update which is absolutely not a teaser. Again.
Hope everyone has a nice Sunday, and a pleasant month of October (a rainy month of October for me...)
Bests,
2024-10-13 15:05:14 +0000 UTC View PostHi, dear readers!
First, I apologise for not answering all the reviews of the previous not-teaser; the writing process swallowed me, courtesy of that perfidious muse.
I promise I will come to it as soon as I have the time...which will likely not be today, alas.
But to reward you...
