I always appreciate your support and I felt I should offer something to those who want to help but can only afford 2$. So from now on they will be getting 5 chapters ahead.
Also, for those of you who don't check out any of my stuff on Royal Road because you read it here, I have been messing...

A path, gently lit by lights embedding into columns of crystal, greeted us as we entered the cavern.
“Its beautiful,” said Norana.

Hopefully you all enjoy it.
Tried my best with characterization to show that this a very different group of individuals and a very different team.

2022-03-26 00:16:19 +0000 UTC View PostHere we go.
Some more worldbuilding for all of you. Hopefully you can start to understand why this world has so many seasons, though I will be showing that more in a few chapters.
This interlude is actually shorter than I had originally intended. I have more things that I will have to...
2022-03-19 01:21:46 +0000 UTC View PostI am debating between two options for the next chapter. The perspective of Tarrae as he and his party are entering the dungeon for the first, or going to take a quick look at Sevso and Gnaeus (aka Tam).
Also, just wanted to let all my patrons know that I thanked all of you and listed you al...
2022-02-18 04:44:41 +0000 UTC View PostThis chapter was originally supposed to be a small section of a larger chapter, but the muses interceded and so here we are. Hope you love it.

2022-02-16 10:59:50 +0000 UTC View PostI still owe you guys an extra chapter at some point, but for now I am just making sure that I get at least a chapter out each month.
The holidays were busy, but I did take the time to make some sketches of various creatures. You will get to see my rather poor art when the time is right. Unt...
2022-01-03 09:19:10 +0000 UTC View PostSorry this is late, I still owe you guys another one for December.
One of the most annoying things about depression is that it can be very difficult to tell apart the restlessness that comes from wanting to write and the anxiety I get from depression.
Previous times I have felt ...
2021-12-05 09:51:36 +0000 UTC View PostSo my brain has been refusing to let me write until I engaged with this novel idea, so I was compelled to do so. Hopefully now I can write the chapter in the next couple days to get to you guys.
Novel focuses on a person reincarnated from a human into an animal/monster body in an earth that...
2021-11-28 04:59:18 +0000 UTC View PostAs promised I am making sure I get at least one post up per month. Even if this one came down to the very wire.
Anyway, hope you guys enjoy this chapter and that it helps you understand what is going on with my characters avatar. I have seen them done badly in the past, so I am trying to av...
2021-10-31 06:56:10 +0000 UTC View PostThis month has been a bit hectic. There was a death in the family that was sudden. Not someone I was close to, but it did directly impact some of the ones that I am close to. Plus I was out of town for about a week in the middle of the month.
Regardless, I have been promising myself that I ...
2021-09-25 02:10:18 +0000 UTC View PostWelcome to the first chapter of Thorn Under Glass, a litrpg superhero novel. Despite setting this in a superhero universe, a fair warning that the setting of this particular novel is very isolated from the outside. This makes it closer to post apocalyptic and superhero novel.
I promised myself that no matter what I would get another chapter out this month. And I am glad to say that I managed to keep my promise. Here it is.
My brain has been fixated on another novel that is swirling around in my head. It made me write a chapter of that. For anyone interested I wi...
2021-08-31 06:57:17 +0000 UTC View PostNow we pan away from the cliff to focus on something entirely different.
==POV: Tholf==
It was fortunate that I wasn’t late for the meeting. They would have likely started without me, for all that I headed the temples in the poor section of town. Or maybe for exactly that...
2021-08-05 23:21:46 +0000 UTC View PostI am finally... finally, back!
I always hope when I feel a depressive episode that it is not one like this one was. Namely far too long and entirely too frustrating.
I don't know how to describe depression to people who have never had it. And even for people who have had it, it is a l...

I claim no skill with drawing, but I tried my best anyway.
2021-05-13 07:37:19 +0000 UTC View PostStill depressed, but trying my best. Got my covid vaccine yesterday, and since I had covid before it had been making me very tired and achy. Oh well.
Here is the chapter ~2250 words long.

2021-05-13 07:29:36 +0000 UTC View PostHey all, finally getting a chapter out. Getting this one took much longer than I would have liked. I am weaving together elements from different chapters that i made before, and I hope it working well.
A major shout out to two patrons: ZCochraine!% and NA1. Both have commented a lot and it ...

Just some poorly drawn maps of the local areas and of the Starlight Grotto.
If anyone has any talent with art, and I mean any talent. Obviously you can see I have approximately none when I am drawing, I would love to put your art up and feature you.
2021-04-29 09:08:37 +0000 UTC View PostThis chapter took a while to write, mainly because I wrote from memory, so I had to go check if things actually worked like I remembered, since my character would be doing things and I need to know what the results would be.
Lots of science and experimenting going on here. Not that Caden kn...
2021-04-29 08:53:50 +0000 UTC View PostI was thinking about depression the other day and it occurred to me how strange it is. I am just so used to it, to living my life around it. However, it is truly strange that I just accept that at times i will be completely nonfunctional, and I just need to endure or learn to work through it a li...
2021-04-29 05:02:57 +0000 UTC View PostWhat I cut from the old chapters ended up here, along with other things. Also for anyone who is interested, the plant Goblin's gold, or schistostega pennata, is a real plant.
Word count is at more than ~3200 ...
2021-04-21 10:37:31 +0000 UTC View PostQuite a bit of new dialog and descriptions in here.
This is how you pronounce Grergene: Grer gen neh - The middle sound for the g is the same sound as the french je, as in je ne sais quoi. The last sound has the same vowel sound as well.
And now you know what my world is actually call...
2021-04-21 07:19:13 +0000 UTC View PostIn my first version instead of calling them subminds I called them shards, i.e. like parts of a crystal. One of you guys mentioned you liked my original term better. So I figured I would see what everyone said.
Feel free to suggest other terms for this or other things in the novel, too.
... 2021-04-21 07:14:40 +0000 UTC View PostThis is a condensed version of the original chapters 3.03 and 3.04. A small section of 3.04, the bit where I do the math for dungeon growth, was put back in arc two. Other pieces will show up in a future chapter. I wanted to make sure I kept the focus on the action and new people, even if I had a...

I attached some very crappy art of Twisted Tip that I drew related to this chapter. I make no excuses, I know that I have no skill. Just meant to show the shape a little.
Anyway, just this chapter took me about 4 hours. Obviously I find perspectives other than Caden's more difficult. I stil...
2021-04-19 05:28:29 +0000 UTC View PostNot sure who among my patrons read my previous work before I started rewriting, but Arc 3 was fairly slow in progression.
I was thinking about condensing some of that. Making the testing chapters down into a single chapter or two, etc...
So I figured I would get an opinion.
2021-04-18 02:32:20 +0000 UTC View PostYep, looks like I am going to get another chapter in. That makes me quite happy.
Enjoy all.

“And if a man should kill an Adar his life will be f...
2021-04-17 12:49:03 +0000 UTC View PostAnd yet more. Not sure if I have enough in me for a new chapter of not, but this brings us to the conclusion of Arc 2 regardless. Arc 2, beyond even the wordcount changes, was two entire extra chapters long.
