The Under Garden MASTERPOST

cracks knuckles

As requested and promised, I've gathered (what I consider to be) essential ThUG info for people who may be a bit confused with everything that I post surrounding the comic itself.

First of all, important links:

- All ThUG available chapters on Patreon (in progress)

- Volume 1 (chapters 1-6) as a one-time purchase on Patreon (volume 2 currently in progress)
- Free chapters (vertical scroll) on WEBTOON (one year ish behind Patreon updates)

- Free chapters (page-by-page) on comicfury (one year ish behind Patreon updates)

Everything you need to know for the story will be in the comic itself, in due time. However, I'm impatient and like to dive into different characters and future events all at once with doodles and whatnot, so I understand being confused at the amount of seemingly unrelated things I tag as part of this world. Here's an overview of things both on the in-progress comic side and in the bigger picture.

>>> Character sheets on a separate post <<<

ThUG was initially created from the bones of a DnD campaign that never took off (more specifically, with my player character as the main character). So the general structure of the comic & surrounding materials looks kind of like this:

Bear in mind you absolutely do NOT need to pay attention to the extra content to figure out what's going on in the main story, they're just added fluff for the most part.

In terms of the in-world timeline, the first tome goes back and forth between flashbacks ("Olga & Kostya time") and present time ("Olga & Faldwin time"), before converging into a more linear story for tome II. Extras (comics, drawings, etc) span from before the beginning of tome I until after the end of tome II:



In terms of production & release plan, it goes kinda like this:



Here's some relationship maps to help visualise what everyone's deal is (so far):



Aaand for some added lore/info if you guys are interested - AGAIN, and I cannot emphasise this enough, IT WILL BE EXPLAINED IN THE COMIC - , some bits about the world itself:



There is a Wiki in progress and available for the highest tier BUT it is indeed simultaneously too detailed and too incomplete as it stands right now to allow anyone to understand anything u_u maybe one day it'll actually be fit for consumption.

Anyhoo, I hope this was useful for those looking for some clarification on what this entire thing is about! Sadly I'm chaotic and it's always going to be a challenge for anyone to keep up with what I'm working on but you're also always welcome to drop a comment or a question anywhere if you need.

This post will be linked in the pinned post and updated as I go

Thanks for reading if you made it this far!
