Good god I actually pulled an all-nighter for this and still didn't finish the chapter completely.
It's a whopping 74k words at the moment (I overshot my estimate by about 14k words lmao, sobs), and it's about 97% finished. The only thing that's missing at the moment is A's low romance route 😵💫
I'll finis...
2024-12-20 07:57:58 +0000 UTC View PostI may have gone a teeny tiny bit overboard with all the romance content in this chapter, so for those of you waiting, the early access is gonna take me several more hours to finish 🤪
It’ll probably be done by the time it's technically December 20th in my timezone haha. Apologies to those in Europe, I know it's alr...
Sorry for the lack of previews lately, I've been full steam ahead on CH12 the past week and am writing the final scenes to complete it before early access release for tier 3 on Thursday!
I'm estimating that the final product will be around 60k words, which is way more than I initially planned for this chapter... but al...
Man, I wanna post more/longer previews but we're inching into real spoiler territory now with where I'm at with the chapter, so... you're all gonna have to subsist on these little snacks until the chapter drops.
Which is in 3 weeks from now!!! I'm so excited, we're almost at the finish line 🙌🏼
Here's a littl...

Here are the estimated release dates for Chapter 12:
Public release: December 28
Patreon tier 1 early access: December 26
Patreon tier 2 early access: December 24 2024-11-25 20:34:08 +0000 UTC View Post
X's romance is such a spicy one this chapter, and people on the low romance route are in luck because they get the same scene as the people on the high romance route!!
Well... with some very subtle, very minor differences... but I'm sure those will be nothing to worry about 😇
Here's some snippets:
I've started working on the dedicated romance scenes, yay!!
Today I finished up the low romance variants for R, and posted a little sneak peek for it on my Tumblr, but of course you guys get a bigger preview for it here. The low romance variant for R as well as the other LIs will have 1 scene that will give your Crown 2...

This one's a shorter preview since I'm finding that I'm struggling to post anything that doesn't constitute major spoilers as the chapters progress lol. I've also been writing a lot of variants of the same scenes, and I don't want to post all of those either! Gotta give you guys a reason to...
2024-10-31 17:15:50 +0000 UTC View PostI finished writing the insane amounts of variants on the opening scene!!! 😵💫
I won't post all of them (obviously lol), but the contrasts between A's low and high romance routes, especially if you choose the friendship scene with X, really tickled me. And I haven't posted the variation showing A's high romance r...

2024-10-09 15:59:23 +0000 UTC View PostI think posting these previews was really the Best idea because I'm finding myself writing daily again!! Not in huge numbers, but we're ~25k words into the chapter, which is double the amount I had like 2 weeks ago lol.
This preview is also one of my favs as this section of the chapter is providing pretty big Set-Up for...
2024-10-07 17:32:01 +0000 UTC View PostFinalllyyyyy I've made some headway into the other major story branch for this chapter, the one where the Crown has gone to Kham and asked her to arrange a meeting with the peri trader.
This preview also includes a snippet for folks romancing D, since they're the only one so far that hasn't gotten anything yet, and one ...
2024-09-26 20:45:40 +0000 UTC View PostMore friendship scene previews!! With romance variations!!
I'm having a lot of fun writing this scene even though the branching is a nightmare. For each Friend LI they discuss the Crown's main romance, including variations accounting for an unsteady/low romance or a steady/high romance. That's, uh... quite a lot.

2024-09-16 21:38:30 +0000 UTC View PostBack for another one!!
Note that this spoils the opening scene of the chapter, which I've been leaving blank for a while since I couldn't come up with a good way to continue from all the deliberations and plot-heavy planning from the previous chapter. In the end, I decided to give the Crown a little fri...
2024-09-13 17:18:35 +0000 UTC View PostToday's preview is specifically a little tidbit featuring X, including a romantic variation!!
I'm aiming to show off little LI tidbits once a week next to more generalized previews, so we're starting off with the Pale Sword this time. Again, this one takes place on the route where the Crown has chosen to talk to the per...
2024-09-08 19:33:59 +0000 UTC View PostFirst preview of September, yay!!
This is a snippet from the route for Crowns who chose to go directly to the peri trader in CH10, with a little flavor text depending on your Crown's intuitive/intelligence trait:

Whew, this is gonna be my last snippet uploaded for a while!!
This one features a scenario where D has to protect the Crown from some danger, as a reversal of an earlier snippet where the Crown protected D ✨
Dunno if I can call this a real beach date since there's a bunch of other people around (Imperial Guards, but like, visibly present), but it's still definitely got romantic tones!! A tiny bit more A lore and their love for sea serpents too.
Did the extra exclamation marks help communicate the urgency lol
Anyway seriously, I do actually have something important to say: work on CH12 has been absolutely tormenting me for the past year and I think, aside from personal circumstances, part of the reason is because I'm having Patreon Conte...

Maybe I should just make this a regular feature. You get to potentially see your fav scenario written out, I get to no longer break my head open coming up with ideas, it's a win-win!
From last month I still have these suggestions as options as well if you wanna second them:

Fun little beach date for our local overworked monarch and their resident sorcerer 💖 There was a D version of this scene as well, but in this one the Crown gets to have some more water-related fun. The benefits of having a partner who has prodigious magic talent 🤪
Credit to Jaiden Woods for the prompt!
This one has a romantic angle as it assumes an established relationship between D and the Crown, and takes place sometime in the future. Basically, the Crown and D had an argument right before D left on a mission, and now are reuniting again after spending that time apart!

Exactly what it says on the tin, this is a glimpse into that fight X and A had in CH2 while the Crown was off trying to find R. You'll find it listed beneath X's category!! It's about ~1k words because I had fun with writing this little scene, I almost forgot it was one of those things...

For reference, the love interests up this month are X (tier 1/On the Run), D (tier 2/Successor), and R (tier 3/Crown). If you've got any scenarios you wanna see for either of th...

2024-07-03 17:31:15 +0000 UTC View PostThe set is complete!!!!!
I have very little context to give about this, it's just X being incorrigibly thirsty and the Crown going along with it (AKA pretending as if they aren't just as thirsty). Like the others, it's established relationship, and hints to spicy content.
I knew I was gonna end up late on one of these lmao
This one can be read as both platonic as well as romantic if you squint. I was going to write it in a more comedic tone, but then it ended up becoming a sweet moment where D reassures the Crown about some of their insecurities, and now here we are!
