Hey guys. My new roommie arrived, that's been expensive. Almost $400 spent so far settling him in, my poor wallet...
That being said, patreon has seen a massive gain in people recently. I dunno if it's luck, an algorithm moment, the changes I've made to Patreon to make it more accessible, or all three.
What I do know, is that if we continue to grow like this for even a few more weeks,...
And this chapter you see why last chapter, we had a whole Fierro scene. It needed to set up a scene in this one, and several future scenes.
But mostly this one. A certain something makes no sense at all, if it hasn't been really ground in that they're horrified about Sakura, and actively disobeying orders to take her down.
Anyway, here's the chapter.
I had fun with this one.
Here's Wednesday's thing - don't look at the date!
Another week at 70+, another Side story. This one is a cute little not!Therapy session with Sasuke's guy, taking place shortly after Wave. No worries, this guy's totally authorized to know about Sakura... at least the basics.
This side-story was voted on in a poll by the $10 Patrons, I'll be doing that weekly. Thank you supporters.<...

Sakura gets a little bit of downtime, but when the universe gives to one, it takes from another.

The Patreon is now at $150, which is about 50% higher than I ever expected it to go. Technically at 45 subscribers I should be near $200 or so, but Patreon takes a pretty hefty fee, I should really get Kofi setup already I might do that soon.
Regardless, I have two tie...

Since the last chapter was posted I went ahead and made a collection for all the chapters, and even got all the chapters posted in the text posts. You can still download them by scrolling to the bottom or going to discord, but they're here.

I noticed that a lot of new people join, and then almost immediately quit.
I figured it was theoretically possible it's because it's such a pain to get back to the older chapters. It's a lot of scrolling, and people who are just now joining aren't looking for last...
This one's a little brutal, Sakura loses her head, as she's done several times before.
As always I don't go into graphic detail, but humans have imagination, and any detail can be a bit much. If you're feeling squeamish today, skim through part 2 and 3.
There's 4 parts here.

This game is pretty cool, the devs are really responsive. I actually had a huge problem and one of the devs spent a good part of his night helping me fix it.

Sakura gets to have fun, and then Neji has to.

A tendril of smoke curls into the sky like a beacon, alerting her to exactly where Tenten probably is. It leads right to the heart of chaos, and Neji’s not one for chaos. He’s deliverance...
2024-07-16 08:45:44 +0000 UTC View PostThere's a lot of combat in the next few chapters, and I imagine most of them won't end quite as quickly as this fight. Sakura's just, not having mercy after all those zombies. Helps she has dozens of full heals, I wonder what a sacrificial dumbass will do with dozens of full heals.
I'm officially not behind!
We'll see if that's true tomorrow, but you know, maybe I can pull it of...
We're finally leaving the Dungeon, and Sakura couldn't be happier.
Next chapter should be out before I go to bed as it's got a lot of progress, but that'll likely not be til after Midnight so...
I figure I should get this one out instead of trying to post them both at once.
I had fun writing this chapter, and the image of Sakura enjoying the freedom of fresh air makes me smile. 2024-07-13 03:39:02 +0000 UTC View Post
Another week above $70, another What If.
I figured the public has like two chapters before Tenten shows up to be kind of mean, and I think this side story will help people understand a bit why.
This is a bit longer than most what ifs, by like, two and a half times.
I'm thinking of doing a double feature this Friday instead of just releasing a random chapter today or whatever. ...
2024-07-10 17:45:05 +0000 UTC View PostSakura is bored, but you don't have to be. You can read this Sunday's chapter today, on Monday, when it's released. Because I'm not very good at this schedule thing.
Oh well, I hope you enjoy the chapter.

So magic exists, and abusing that fact quickly becomes the meat of the entire day.

Safe rooms are conquered and the plot is progressed a bit, finally.
I needed those few days, they were very helpful, and I think the story will be better for them. Tomorrow's chapter should still be on time.

2024-07-04 07:18:31 +0000 UTC View PostThis one was cute, and it's still Wednesday for some people so I'm only late here. It's all about perspective. Enjoy.
The chapter should be out today too, it's almost done I just got super tired yesterday and was worried about the quality if I tried to just push it out.
I care more about the quality than the deadline if I'm honest, as long as I don't fall behind.
2024-07-04 06:41:30 +0000 UTC View PostI knew I'd have an issue or two when I ended up planning more of Arc 6 than Arc 4 during the planning week, and it's happening.
While I'm having zero issues writing the chapters - it seems my ability to just write is improved when I live alone - they feel directionless, and a little slow. I like that they're comedic, and interpersonal, and I don't think the chapters are bad in any way, bu...
2024-07-01 10:51:49 +0000 UTC View PostChapter 52 is here, it's mostly another expo chapter but Monday should have some action.
Still, Tenten should be allowed to go on a rant about a sword, it's her divine right.

Chapter 49 was a blast to write, as is pretty much every interaction this arc so far.
It's adventurous, and actiony, and filled with vigor and originality!
And also Lee's been here. I haven't given him enough lines, I feel he's quieter than canon, but like. I couldn't have an actual conversation if he was his canon self. I'm just gonna say Lee's a little m...
Sakura needs to get her head on straight, and these Genin aren't helping in the short term. Maybe long term though?
I'm actually ahead again, so yesterday, instead of rushing to get it done and post it before too late at night I was playing games with friends and taking a much-needed day off.
Because the rush wasn't there, that mental connection saying "Today's Friday, post a chapt...

This chapter was fun to write, it's a little bigger than normal, but that's not a bad thing. I couldn't very well cut that final scene in half.
