so the combination of school, hobbies, and burning out on writing in general is starting to get to me, i'm starting to see making a chapter as more of a chore than an actual fun thing to do, so imma take a step back and look at my story from a new perspective. i'll reread it, maybe restructure its future plot, and in general NOT write everyday to the point that i start resenting the story itself. i almost hit that point yesterday when i thought that i had to release a chapter today..... wasn't pretty.... luckily for my fans and the story itself i cooled down and watched Angel Beats again, had some feels again, and now feel that humanity is inherently good again..... and that i should be an organ donner............ but anyway doing that yesterday made me realize that doing something crazy like dropping the project would be a serious dick move, so i decided not to. though i do think i should take some time away from the story periodically so i don't go insane again.

the story is no longer my END-ALL-BE-ALL cuz i was starting to resent it for it taking time away from hobbies. no one wants an angry resentful Author, that's how main characters die..... so don't freak out to much in the comments, i also decided that limiting myself only to my official site wasn't the best move, since i actually like the process of posting to RR first so i'll go back to doing that.

to combat any pressure or other shit that may cause another break down like this i am destroying any release schedules i may have. you could go a week/month without chapters only to get flooded with them later, or have a chapter every week. or if i feel like really getting into writing again, you all might get that 2-3 chapter a day bullshit i started out with when the motivation to write was still fresh.

next part is for comments:

for the people that think that what Alt did last chapter was out of character for him, well obviously you haven't read closely enough, the guy TORTURED people for FUN to kill time when escaping at the end of volume 1. he also did HORRIBLE things to at least ONE woman whose only crime was having blood flavored like coconut, coconut is a fairly common flavor for Vampeerus blood. she wasn't the only one........

no shit the Nameless undescribed servants are flat characters. they are supposed to be, they are there to be behind the scenes and play no real role besides potion production and faith points. if you want a story about how all of them are special special flowers and each have their own unique and detailed backstory, something is wrong with you............. one or maybe two of them will transcend this fate, but the other 35 will be guest in the background, indistinct and undeveloped. deal with it.

r-18 stuff is already present, all that's missing is actual sex. little secret i SUCK at writing sex scenes. they may come in the future, but only in ark/volume 3 and onwards. THEN if they aren't to cringe-worthy i might incorporate more of them, but most of the time sex scenes will be glossed over unless the are important in some way to the story.

lastly if you couldn't tell from all the torture and death we have had so far, before the main character could even FUCKING walk correctly even, this world and this story isn't gonna be full of unicorns and rainbows...... well there will be unicorns, but they're kinda evil..... and rape virgins.......... and have blades for horns.............. anyway it isn't a nice place and it is filled with not nice people. Alt is far from the worst there is, time torture and looking at others as if they are tools is cruel, but not unreasonable. he is also naturally predisposed to treating mortals like this due to his partial divine parentage. most Divines look at mortals as pesky insects, or the better ones as toys. all that combined makes Alt's personality a rather cruel and "evil" one. there will be MUCH worse than him you will see, and one of the antagonists does stuff that will make you WANT him to go through the worst death possible to write. so if you cant handle this stuff WHY THE FUCK are you reading this? for the comedy? then skip to happy sounding chapter titles. comedy and relationships are a major part of this story yes, but they are still only PARTS the story itself is gonna be pretty dark, and Alt's POV will see most of the darkness of this world. some POV's will only see the good, others some mix (Alt's), some will only see the bad. accept that and move on or leave, don't comment about how the story just suddenly got dark and that doesn't make sense because "______________".

to sum the story up, and answer future questions and complaints: it makes sense, it was probably done on purpose (unless its a spelling mistake, or grammar mistake....), almost EVERYTHING has a meaning, i'm fond of twists so don't assume too much upfront, characters like people will lie, change, and grow. if i say absolute in all caps AND bold i mean it, and sometimes bad stuff happens without warning that's life.............

now then answer the poll and stop with the damn complaints about how this story got too DARK when i have "mature stuff", "death", and "torture" as one of the FIRST damn things you encounter as a reader, just because the story has comedy and humor. if you are saying i should have incorporated the dark stuff from the start, i ask you how the CONSTANT FEAR OF BEING EATEN ALIVE BY FAMILY AND YOUR SURROUNDINGS is not dark? because i glossed over it mostly with humor? that whole situation gave the MC a PERMANENT trauma, one that is a major plot point. plus what other dark shit could happen besides that and kidnapping, torture, isolation, death, and loss of identity do you expect to happen before the MC is 3? the comments were fairly hypocritical, and some constitute 20% of why this change with the schedule has happened......................................

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh....................

enough of the rant.............

so long story short, B.B. might not get a release for today. it will probably get one sometime this week. looking at fan-art and reading nice comments/plot theories increases my writer motivation, reading about people dropping the story or hating on it does the opposite, so comment carefully from now on.

oh and check RR for the editor contest winner in the next chapter!
