Announcements and Things

Hey everyone, I hope you had a nice weekend! 

I know it's Wednesday already but eh. Monday's chapter is not cancelled yet. I want to get one extra in to make up for it. That said, taking some time of was not actually the reason I didn't get to write yesterday. I simply didn't know where to go with the next one. It's a minor case of writer's block. I'm gonna sit down now and get to it...

Chapter 175 Telepathy

Author's note:

Hey guys,

I got another chapter for you!

This one is... okay? It feels like I need to do a lot of revision for the middle part. I'm not sure and I'm really tired right now. It feels like a real first draft for a few paragraphs. Haven't had that for a bit. It's these times where I'm glad I plan to edit this story. I don't need to beat myself up over getting it pe...

Chapter 174 Restaurant

Author's note:

Hey there!

Chapters are getting later and later... At least they're still getting done. And I'm making good progress studying. Next chapter is on Saturday. I'm thinking I might just skip the Monday chapter but I'm not sure yet... I might have the energy to get something done after my exam on Tuesday. If not, I'll inform you on Discord.

For this chapter, I want t...

Chapter 173 City Tour

Author's note:

Hey there.

Sorry for the delay, I just couldn't focus properly yesterday. I'm having some insomnia the last few nights... Don't really know why though... I hope to get one out tomorrow but with studying that's unlikely. Expect the next three chapters to be delayed as well. My exam is next Tuesday so I won't be writing on Monday no matter what.

That said, I hope ...

Chapter 172 Inner Sanctum

Author's note:

Hey all!

Here it is, today's chapter! I started a little late, maybe, but it's also a little longer. I hope the reactions make sense. I tried avoiding directly spelling out everyone's feelings and have it discernible from context.

On another note, a big thank you to all the 'newcomers' this month! I see a lot of returning names. You are very appreciated. As are ...

Chapter 171 Experiments

Author's note:

Hey there, I got some more for you!

Turns out I'm an idiot and signed up for the wrong exam -.- That means I'm taking the other one I signed up for in case I had some time left to study. Which I now have. I'll study for the next one starting next week so chapters should be more stable.

It feels really bad when you finally get over procrastinating and realize you...

Chapter 170 Lamp of Growth

Author's note:

Hey there!

Sorry for the delay. It was not quite because of studying this time. I was in the mood to work on the new project a little more yesterday. I got 2000 words into the next chapter. I don't really feel like studying. This exam is a little less to learn so I might skip another day. I know it's gonna come crashing down but eh. I want to prepare this weeks owl ch...

Chapter 169 First Steps of Independence

Author's note:

Hey there, here it is!

Two chapter in less than 24 hours? What's this? I'm feeling better today. I'll take Sunday off to play Elden Ring and recharge a little more. That means writing tomorrow. I want to get back into my new project. I'll probably start on it later tonight.

That's about it for now, enjoy the chapter!

Cheers!

Chapter 168 Crafting Spree

Author's note:

Hey there,

I got one for you! This one's a little earlier than the last few but then again, it's a day late. I think I'm gonna start to write earlier again. I feel myself wasting away. Though taking the break today to play some games was really nice.

My exam went meh. I most likely passed but not with a good grade. I've got another one coming on the 21st. Gonna ...

Chapter 167 Node Transducer

Author's note:

Hey all!

I got some more for you. This time it's almost on time. It just ticked over to midnight, here. Next chapter will very likely be delayed. Wednesday morning is my exam and we're doing spring cleaning in the afternoon. I don't know how much energy I'm going to have after that. Expect more on Thursday. I really want to write more. Stupid exams. Still, having a ba...

Chapter 166 The Transporter

Author's note:

Hey there, sorry for the delay. 

I'm just feeling a little down right now. Stress from exams and stress from money should be bad enough to keep me busy but there's of course a ton more going on. We cleaned the house today and tomorrow I'm meeting family for a birthday party. That takes even more time from studying away. And then there's that shit Putin pulled. I ...

Chapter 165 Party

Author's note:

Hey there!

Sorry for the delay. Studying is eating my time. Little less than a week for the first exam... I'm feeling like I'll pass right now. It's time to make it a good grade. Hopefully.

Next one tomorrow or on Saturday.

I hope you enjoy the chapter!

Cheers!

Hey there!

I'm still on time, this time. Heh! This chapter was brought to you by planning ahead! Also, I'm really exhausted. I have some bad neck pain since yesterday evening. Well, whatever. Gotta deal with it... Gonna call my doctor tomorrow if it doesn't get better. It's now terrible right now.

On to nicer topics! A big thank you to the new patrons! I had not...

Chapter 163 Secrets of Golemancy

Author's note:

Hey there!

I got more for you! I didn't do any studying today. I realized I should have planned for days off before going into these weeks. I'm gonna take tomorrow slowly as well, at most reviewing one lesson. I'll also start on the next chapter early so I can get it out on time (hopefully). I should still be fine with my studying. I'm little less than halfway through...

Chapter 162 Getting Things Ready

Author's note:

Hey there!

Sorry for the delay once again. Writing this chapter just didn't flow properly last night so I decided to take the time and not force it out. I'll try to get tomorrow's chapter ready in time but no promises. If it's late again, I'll tell you on Discord. That will be the default way to com...

Chapter tomorrow

I'm tired from studying. I got about half a chapter done. Gonna write the rest tomorrow. If this keeps going, Friday might be delayed by a day as well. I'm gonna start early for the Monday chapter and try to get it out on time.

Apologies for the delay. At least I got a good bit of studying done, right?

See you tomorrow, 

Cheers!

Chapter 161 Delicious

Author's note:

Hey everyone!

There's not much to talk about with everything in the post from yesterday. First response is making me happy. I won't decide on anything quite yet and give those who haven't voted in the poll time to do so. I also went through and updated the tags. Every Owl chapter should have it now. I might put up the beginning of the story retroactively since I'm pla...

Stuff to talk about - Please read!

Hey guys!

Rather than doing this after my exams, I want to talk about things right now. I am seeing my bank account steadily approaching zero. It's not nice. I have started looking into part-time jobs. I can go about half a year with what I have right now if Patreon support stays at 150-200€ per month. I want to use that time to hopefully stabilize my situation.

Now, here's the im...

Chapter 160 Home

Hey there!

Here it is, your Friday chapter! I'm not going to post about a delay when I'm still working on it. The reason for some of these chapters to be out so late (it's approaching 2 a.m. here) is that I'm often watching streams of Pokemon Legends starting in the evening while writing. That slows the process down a tiny little bit. I hope the quality has at least been kept. Tell me if ...

Chapter 159 Aftermath

Author's note:

Hey there!

I didn't go to bed so it's still Wednesday. Nothing much to talk about. I had the urge to write some of the new project yesterday evening but decided on catching up on sleep a little. There's some things I've been thinking about doing but that's all gonna be after my exams.

For now, I hope you enjoy the chatper!

Author's note:

Hey there!

I got some more for you! This time it's not too late, but still not really on time... I got one more week before I plan to focus mainly on studying. No idea how that'll work out. I know I can learn the knowledge I need but I never spent this much time in intense learning as I plan to. 

Some little things to talk about. I don't think I'll get the ...

Chapter 157 Picking Lives

Author's note:

Hey there!

This one is late, I know. I really have no excuse... I got caught up too much with Pokemon. At least I'm almost done, now. 3 more to fill the Pokedex. Should finish the game today. Which won't mean I won't play anymore. Still, I can hopefully set it down more easily once it's done.

Do you want me to make an extra post if the chapter is late for reason...

Chapter 156 Before the Storm

Author's note:

Hey all, new chapter here! 

As I talked about on Discord, I didn't really like the ending to the last one so I rewrote the last 400-ish words. I put that part in front of this chapter for you to make it easy. If you get here after the 2nd of February 2022, you'll be able to skip it to the break with the new chapter's title.

The finale for this arc is soon t...

Chapter 155 Not Alone

Author's note:

Hey all!

Pretty late today. The reason is simple: Pokemon. I play too much. The game is so much fun.

This chapter is something I'm not entirely sure about. Tell me what you think. Does it work? I feel it makes sense with some of the stuff I have planned but maybe it's a bit out of the blue...

That's it for now, I hope you enjoy the chapter!

Chapter 154 Drop Beak

Author's note:

Took a long enough break from Pokemon to get you this chapter! It even finishes a large part of the climax. There's still aftermath and it might be more than Fio bargained for.

Remember, next week starts the three chapters only time. I gotta get back to the new project. But first, more Pokemon!

I hope you enjoy!

Cheers!

Chapter tomorrow

Hey there. 

Just letting you know that Pokemon Legends: Arceus is great fun and I didn't get to write today. I played over 12 hours since release and still want more but I gotta take a break for some food. 

I'll be sure to get a chapter out tomorrow, though, so don't worry. I have it planned to work on it after lunch until it's done. If it's not out by evening CET, someone...

Chapter 153 Negotioation

Hey all!

Here it is! Now, I might start working on the next chapter today but I don't think I'll be finishing it. And since tomorrow Pokemon Legends releases, I might not find much time to write then. If there's no chapter tomorrow, I'll tell you and get something done for Saturday. 

It looks like one more chapter won't be enough to finish this arc. It's ta...

Chapter 152 The Apprentice

Author's note:

Hey all!

Apologies for being so late. Today was difficult to write. I just didn't know how to start the next chapter. At some point, I decided to make it a different PoV and from there it took maybe 15 minutes to get started. So you get some sidepov once again.

I hope you enjoy the chapter!

Hoot!

15! Today, with this chapter, we are 15 ahead of RR! 2€ tier will be upped to 4 ahead as well. Thanks for all the support! I may not always be on time and the quality feels a little fluctuating at times but that's what happens with how I'm writing this story.

This is also the beginning of the actual climax. I'm just kind of winging it a lot of the time. As an example, I knew...
