《So I'm a cat, what now?》[Not a Chapter] Status update
Advertisement
This info is copy-pasted between RoyalRoad and ScribbleHub, so it might read oddly in some places.
Update, 2019-10-21:
TL;DR:
New chapter done and scheduled, coming today (ScribbleHub)/tomorrow(RoyalRoad). I did not get the job, which means I'm back to focusing on the story again =).
New chapters scheduled for release today (ScribbleHub)/tomorrow(RoyalRoad). (The separate release times should be a one-time thing, I'm just making sure the "spread" of release times are the same between the two sites).
I finally got word back from the job interview and it seems I did not get the job, oh well, more time for writing then.
Update, 2019-10-15:
Starting on the story again, at least one new chapter next Monday until (maybe) another break. That chapter will be released on Patreon whenever it is done (possibly as soon as today). Very small risk of chapter not being done by next Monday, check this post again in that case. Forgot to post update Monday, sry
Sorry for not posting an update on Monday, I just completely forgot about it...
The interview went well, though I haven't heard back from them yet, so no real info on how that might affect my updating schedule.
Since nothing was happening on that front, I decided to do some writing for now, and get at least one more chapter out. Since I still might have to do work samples to hand in, I might not be able to release on next Monday, but in that case, I will do another update to this post. The new chapter is coming along very nicely though, so that's pretty unlikely.
For my Patrons, I will release the new chapter as soon as it is ready, which could possibly be today if my pace holds up.
Update, 2019-10-07:
TL;DR:
No chapter this week and possibly not next week either. Updates might slow in general as well, but I don't plan on dropping this story any time soon. I will try to update every Monday, even if it's just status updates. Check the latest status update post for new info if there is no new chapter on a Monday. Current and future patrons might want to reconsider their plans until things clear up a bit.

For those who want more info, and to fill out the wordcount =P:
Last Thursday, the screen of my main laptop broke, after spending most of the weekend looking for a fix/replacement, I managed to fix my other laptop which had been refusing to charge for a while.
On top of that, I also have a job interview coming up this Thursday, which might involve handing in work samples, so I'm putting the story on hold until then to brush up on my C++. If I end up having to do work samples, then I will prioritize those over the story as well, and I have no idea how long that might be =/. Additionally, if I end up getting the job, updates will likely slow down as that will take a lot of my time and energy.
That said, I won't drop this story. As a reader, I hate when stories just stop updating without any explanation, and in awkward places. As a writer, I love writing this story, and I want to realize it, even if it will take a while.
I will endeavor to update something every week, on Mondays in general, even if it's just another status update. I don't want to spam people with non-chapters, so if I don't post any chapters several weeks in succession I will update the latest status post instead. (So for example if there are no new chapters next Monday, I'll edit this chapter with more info instead of posting another non-chapter).
For my current patron(s?), and anyone looking at becoming one, I will very likely change my goals around, but as stated in the post there's a lot of other stuff going on, so for now I would say hold off on becoming a patron unless you have the money and just want to support me, and don't care about the update pace. It would still be ideal for me to be able to support myself through patreon, but if I get the job I won't be as focused on making that happen as soon as possible.

Child of the Ancients: An Apocalypse LitRPG
It all started in the middle of Dante's nap. He wanted to sleep his life away, but the system denied his request. Instead, it began to transform the Earth, integrating it into the multiverse by granting everyone stats and skills. He was talented, or so the system thought. And that meant he needed to be challenged. After being sent into a deadly cavern, Dante strives for the future he's always desired. But when he learns about the secrets hidden within him, he's shaken to his very core. He wishes for the nightmare to end until something goes wrong. [The world will end in one year.] Instead of everyone receiving a relatively gentle tutorial, the people of Earth are deemed redundant. Dante makes it his goal to save as many people as he can before the world ends, but with billions of lives at stake, he might have to turn into a monster before he can become a hero. Planned updates (2500+ words): M/W/F. 12pm AEST/ 9am EST. M-F during Writeathon. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Author's Note: All system apocalypse novels seem to jump straight over the apocalypse itself, which I find very sad. I don't want this to turn into a typical fantasy novel in about ten chapters. Instead, I hope to explore the destruction of society and how things would look if superpowers suddenly appeared in the real world. Before the real apocalypse happens, of course. There will be base building, and likely romance once things settle down. Also dragons, because they are awesome :)

Same Crap, Different World
A young man from early 21st century wakes up in a different world. This world is like a typical setting of an fantasy isekai novel. But it is also not. There is magic, alchemy, magical creatures, different non-human races, peasants and nobles, demons and dragons. But there is also politics, persecution, supremacism of every kind, entitlement, slavery and other unpleasant human tendencies. In short, this new world does not differ much from his old one. However, besides him, there may be others who have made such a strange trip, and awakened into this new world. There certainly have been others, in the past. But more than people and other living things, there have been items. All sorts of items, which are regarded as otherworldly artifacts with unknown danger and power. And he himself is an artifact as well, albeit a living one. Therefore he has use for the powers that be. He is also given a role and expectations to fulfill, to hide his real value. And in all that he still has to make sense of what has happened, what is happening, and find a way back, if possible. Author's note: I write this project mostly in (except chapter 1) in 60-100 page (40,000-70,000 word) chapters, edit them as such and later cut them down for publishing into 7-11 page segments (depending on natural breaks in the flow). Therefore, each chapter may be divided into 10-15 subchapters.
