You are not prisoners to your pledges.
Added 2023-05-23 11:07:51 +0000 UTCHey guys,
We have a few issues we'd like to discuss. We usually don't mention anything about comments until absolutely necessary, since we want everyone to freely express themselves about the story. It's your right to do so because you're paying for it. However, we reserve the right to remind some of you that if you are unsatisfied with the service, you may terminate your membership or drop the story. You are not a prisoner of your pledge. You have the option to remain or leave if we do not meet your expectations.
We are a two-man team, unlike some of your other favorite authors. We do everything ourselves, with no aid from anybody other than our two-man team. Indeed, INKR is our publisher. However, we just published LMB on their site. It implies we have to handle every part of the production. As your other authors are working on the chapter, they submit it to their publishers and most times, the company completes the remainder, such as 'Lettering, editing, translating, and cleaning up.' Some even have employees in charge of backdrops, shading, and lighting.
Claiming we don't have a deadline for our work is really rude. Do some of you honestly think chapters can be created at random? Without any planning? Everything is timed from start to finish. Yet, we are not machines, and we will never be flawless. It's a bit of a stretch to claim that all chapters are late.
We make every effort to communicate effectively, but our message will be lost if some of you see us as robots and machines rather than real people.
Some of you complained about longer chapters, which we accommodated. Nevertheless, did you realize that longer chapters need more production time? We work very hard on LMB to make sure you guys get the best quality possible.
Please be mindful of what you say. We read most of your comments, and we cannot respond to them as we only want you guys to discuss the story amongst yourselves.
Thank you for reading.

2023-06-02 10:37:58 +0000 UTCI am so sorry people are acting like this smh, art takes time, effort and patience. If you are too impatient for the art go somewhere else. Some people were clearly never taught to keep their mouths shut.

2023-06-02 10:35:42 +0000 UTCIt was constructive, formative, productive and practical criticism. I can go back and forth with you. It’s not going to change my mind plus I don’t resort name calling if someone doesn’t agree with my opinion like you do.
2023-05-29 11:44:41 +0000 UTCIt was *destructive* “criticism”💀. Sarcastic, disrespectful, and inconsiderate.

2023-05-29 03:30:49 +0000 UTCIt was straight criticism, the authors stated over and over again not be derogatory which the individual never did in the original and replied comment. It was you, I saw one of your comments being rude and name calling like you’re a kid. The replied comment had some constructive criticism but you’re too busy trying to kiss up which is fine for you. But not everyone feels the same.
2023-05-28 21:01:47 +0000 UTC“11 hours. How predictable🙃”…Their comment was was sarcastic and unnecessary. There was no constructive criticism in that comment. It was just a reason to be an asshole, dummy, and a buffoon💀

2023-05-27 14:15:12 +0000 UTCThe individual wasn’t rude. All they said 11 hours and every chapter seems to be late. The person never said derogatory names or even ruder things unlike some of these other comments that call them a-holes, dummies or buffoons that you’re allowing. Yes I could leave but I never said I was dissatisfied, all I did point out the lateness. It didn’t bother me but I didn’t think a reader couldn’t voice a different opinion.
2023-05-26 11:44:38 +0000 UTCOur statement still stands. On every occasion where we anticipated a delay, we informed our patrons. We recently carried out a poll asking patrons what they preferred, and they chose. If you are still dissatisfied with our service after that, there is nothing that can be done to make you happy. You may choose to stay or depart. Here, you are not being held captive. In addition to providing financial support, patrons help us in other ways(Mental support) so that we can produce the best possible work for everyone. If you wish to provide "criticism," you may do so on a different platform where we can choose to view it or not. Being rude or disrespectful towards us in such a closed space is not acceptable, we have enough stress and need to focus on the comic. In addition, this notification was not intended to be sent to a single individual; in fact, the opposite was true. It was to remind everyone that they have options. You may interpret it as you see fit.

2023-05-26 08:23:28 +0000 UTCWow, did that one person’s comment from the last non-chapter post really need a response. Anyone can tell that this is geared towards that individual because they were the only who didn’t give praise. I didn’t agree with all of their comments, the only part I did was the timeline of lateness for the most recent chapters. Yes anyone can stop being a patron of your story but the team can also accept criticism.
2023-05-26 03:35:12 +0000 UTCPeople are so ungrateful. I appreciate everything that you two are doing and pls take your time🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼take care and fuck the haters

2023-05-25 22:14:33 +0000 UTCI'm not sure why people are making these rude demands to both of you. You've always been very upfront about delays and even polled your patrons last time. Honestly, I feel like both of you always go above and beyond with your content and extras. I'm sorry that you're receiving this type of toxic commentary. I love the work you create and anyone with a basic understanding of any artistic field knows, that sometimes there are delays. Quality takes effort and time. So thank you both for all your efforts.

2023-05-23 22:25:51 +0000 UTCJust know their stupidity shows with ignorant comments.People educate yourself on how these panels are made from creating a continued storyline that matches past panels progress,artwork,corrections,completion along with regular adulting and life if these aren't their main source of income (An entire team of artist at Pixar thats their sol job take 4YEARS just create an hour long animated movie while 2 of those years are just planning a storyline and rough drafts) ...To bad there isn't a voting option for us readers to delete/end their pledge ourselves lol .One thing to give an honest review that could help improve the authors future story planning then there's those dumb why aren't these done sooner I payed for it 😆 🤣 get TFOH!

2023-05-23 19:10:32 +0000 UTCHonestly I dont understand how they expect you guys to work at the same speed as a 15 people production team💀it's not easy to create a comic especially if its 2 people only. People forget that you guys are humans with life outside of work and need rest too. For me when I payed, I payed not only for the work itself but to help with your careers as creators, because you made something that enjoy so I wanna support it and you as much as I can

2023-05-23 18:57:00 +0000 UTCI, for one, love that yall are a 2 man team!! This means a creative freedom that most don't have. It also means the work is pure. I can't tell you how much I respect this!!! I'm so thrilled over it!! The industry takes it's creatives for granted and under values translators. I'm happy to pay direct for the content!! I actually prefer it. No middle man, no problem lol. Thank you both so so much!! I'm here for the long run. This story, these characters, this team..... are all special and unique. Yall work so hard and I'm thankful. Please tend to your health wellness 1st!!! 2nd, hold up the quality. You owe zero apologies for the time it takes to give us chapter after chapter.

2023-05-23 17:36:46 +0000 UTCIf someone is bringing you nothing but complaints and feeding their self entitlement because of a few dollars, they aren't worth having as Patrons. Stop being so nice. As you said, they don't have to stay. More importantly, you don't have to keep them. You come first. As a person, I don't want you burdened with unnecessary stress. As a fan of LMB, if you guys break down, the story stops, so don't break down. The amount of time you guys lose writing these notices is unnerving to me. That could have been a panel, or hugs n kisses with your family. It's okay to say, "Fuck off...."
