Poll and also wordywords
Added 2024-11-12 13:43:36 +0000 UTCGuys, I’ve been a little dramatic before. I’d said that the chains had come off and that I was finally free, that I was crying tears of joy every time I finished paying out one of these patreon goals but it has never been more true than it is now. After two (non-consecutive) months of constant posting, plus the month before each one filled with non-stop writing and editing, I have never felt more free. This was my training arc. This was Ben reaching across the walls of reality to get revenge on me for all I’d put him through as his creator. This was struggle and toil and pain but it’s done! My last patreon goal complete, my last chapter of this mass release out and four months of constant unending work done! Believe me when I say that there really are genuinely tears in my eyes at the thought that I get a day off tomorrow. Oh god, I’m just so happy to go back to my regular schedule.
Ahem, thank you for putting up with that undignified whining and thank you all for your support. Not to come on too strong but I love you. If I feel like my patreon hits a big enough milestone I’ll give some extra chapters again in the future, just not nearly that many. We’ll see how I feel if we ever get to 1500 paying patrons, I don’t know.
Anyway, adding a little poll to this too to gauge interest on how people would feel about more character and story arc summaries. I think the last time I did them was in chapter 300-400 maybe (or chapter 290. wow)? Either way, just wanted to take a vote to see if that’s something you guys would like to get again or not but even if people overwhelmingly want it, it would still be a while before something like that is put out so just be aware of that.
Okay, with this little note done, I’m going to go lay down, close my eyes, and not open them again until it’s the next day I post. Be well everyone, I hope you all have an extra special day!

To be honest I would love to stop having other POVS sometimes Ben already spend one or two chapters just explaining what he already did, and was already explained. The POVS mostly add even more fillers. I feel a lil cheated with the POVS and how much Ben over explain things we already know, and sometimes he go as far as explaining twice. Same with summaries they take lots of space and are basically fillers. Between POVS, Ben over explaining something and using 2 chapters and the summaries we lost easily 100 chapters or more. During the demons in the Florest arc I actually counted. Ben spend 2 chapters going over and over the same things that were already explained instead of going against the threat. The worse was, no new info was being added. Detail everything was already explained and seen by us. Ben spends TWO CHAPTERS MORE repeating and going over what we already seen. I absolutely love the story but I stopped reading and being a Patreon because of that several times. I almost stopped reading altogether and I know some people actually stopped because of that. It's just too much filler.

2024-11-27 02:00:33 +0000 UTCIf you doooooo do somethin like that, id say make it a fan-wiki deal so the rest of us can help add to it over time and help keep it updated after the initial fill-up. And we can add pages for how shit works and pages people can go back to for refreshers on stuff or a page with allllll of Ben's status updates throughout the story in little spoiler / drop down tags (so the page aint a mile long). Ooh and a timeline. But again, all that extra BS im imagining would be stuff *we* would do, after *you* did the initial wiki setup and initial organization how you want it. Orrrrr a wiki doesnt happen at all cuz thats too much work to set up along with your writing and other obligations and you do whatever kind of summary was already in your mind and maybe one of us uses that as a base to set a wiki up in the future with your permission =) For the record tho I only voted for character summaries.

2024-11-13 16:44:07 +0000 UTCI'm pretty sure quite a few of us have some form of notes ourselves already, though having something more complete would be a huge plus. I calculated that it'd take me roughly 3 weeks to properly note every chapter, arc, and character from scratch again, and with my exams closing in, I'd prefer to avoid the effort.

2024-11-12 15:34:24 +0000 UTCI voted for both, but am honestly ambivalent. They're nice to have, but I don't think I lose anything by not having them.

2024-11-12 15:08:05 +0000 UTCI second this. I normally have to go the comments and hope that someone else has already gotten an answer

2024-11-12 14:55:44 +0000 UTCI would at least like a sentence about each character in any poll, to remind me who they are.

2024-11-12 14:13:19 +0000 UTCThank you for your hard work and please, make summaries for both! We have a lot of new characters that are forgotten (for now) but will be valuable to know about later, but don't be pressured with time or schedules to make this. Take your time, you deserve it!
