《Rise of the Business [Class]》HIATUS
Advertisement
Oh boy.
We went on hiatus. That went a lot faster than I expected, I truly meant to let you all know what is going on, but I'm awkward and never found a good way.
The goods news is that I've been so busy writing, otherwise I would have taken the time to figure out a better way. The bad news is that I haven't been writing Rise of the Business [Class].
I always hated when authors did this. Like, this is the story I'm reading and care about, why would I care about some other project you are starting if you couldn't finish this one?
The truth is that too much has been going on in my life. I've been living an extremely unhealthy lifestyle, and beginning to write was my way out of it. But there were still a lot of neglected parts that needed handling, and that's what I've been focusing on. Believe it or not, at a certain point I was on the very verge of homelessness, and despite getting help I was on the way back there again before I started writing.
Now that I am finding an outlet for my efforts, and the motivation to take part in real life again, a lot of things like a regular job and stuff has been taking time away from writing. Whenever I have started again I've gotten the feeling that so much momentum is lost, and my story is so ambitious and so large, with so many moving parts that all need to fit - that without treating it like a fulltime job I will never be able to do it justice without dropping chapters at a snail's pace.
When I began writing this idea it was after having just reread all of The Wandering Inn and Beware of Chicken, and I wanted to write something light-hearted with the bones of ambition but while also taking the time for slice of life and a meandering path discovering the entire world I was hoping the readers would grow to love.

Since then I have been reading Defiance of the Fall, Primal Hunter, Road to Mastery etc. And these stories are in a similar LitRPG vein, but they have a simpler track and still manage to tell amazing stories that can be focused on a single character while still taking place in a wide world with a vibrant cast.
For now, as a literal minimum wage worker, I can't do this story justice with the time I have left over while still getting my life back on track.
So the new story I am writing will not be quite as ambitious, but it will still very much be me writing. I will be better prepared this time, having learned from every lesson that came my way during the 1000 pages that this story has ended up becoming so far.
I am for sure leaving the door open for coming back here and finishing when I have the room to do this sprawling world justice, but I still want it to be a level of writing that doesn't betray how it all started out and where I planned for it all to go.
I really hope you have found others things to read while I was starving you of updates, but I also hope you will be giving my new story a shot when it starts dropping. Just like last time I am planning to drop the first 50 chapters in quick succession, to garner interest and make sure the people taking the time have a decent chunk of story to show where everything's headed - but once I've completed the publishing of the backlog I will be doing a mere 2 updates a week - while trying to keep 50 chapters for sale on Patreon - hopefully at least leading to some side income if not a full time writing gig.

I know, keep dreaming, but that's just part of the fun for me - the possibility! It keeps me working hard, when nothing else will.
Cheers for reading and giving my story a shot - hope the LitRPG gods give you a blessed year of reading coming up.

And if anybody is interested in being a beta-reader for the next story dropping, do let me know!
Peace out for now.
And Cheers for reading.

Dead Circus
Sylas never knew he was a Cambion, a being with supernatural abilities called Arma. Society discarded him out of fear and subjugated him out of jealousy. Now, Sylas has joined Dead Circus, a group bent on achieving equality for Cambions, no matter the cost. Sylas has been given a chance to fight the injustice present in the city-state of Concordia, and fix society for everyone to live free of chains and tyranny. However, there are those who would rather see it all burn down so they can start over from the ashes. Who decides what is right and wrong? Who decides what freedom costs? At the end, who will stay true to their virtues and who will be swallowed whole by the jowls of a twisted society? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dead Circus is an original dystopian light novel heavily inspired by Japanese light novel style storytelling, character design and world building. My hope is that every chapter will include a few full illustrations to use as supplementary material to the chapter itself. Dead Circus will contain mature themes and some uncomfortable topics. Any chapters containing these types of themes will be noted before the chapter begins. All art associated with Dead Circus, including the cover art is made by me. Fanart or any artist collaborations for the chapter release will be tagged with the respective creators. Dead Circus is divided into volumes and will release weekly with small gaps in between the ends of volumes. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I deeply appreciate your taking the time to read both this description and my work and I look forward to any and all feedback I receive. -Branime

His Innocent Fox... BoyXBoy
Little snippet of the story below... Hope you enjoy!××Willowed_Wisp××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××My breath hitches in my throat, as deep crimson eyes bore into mine through the inky, yet comforting, darkness, and a hand, pale and large compared to my own tiny little paw, begins to reach out for me. A tiny chirp of fear leaves my lips, as I scoot further back until my back hits the cold wall, and flatten my ears against my head." Come on Angel... We won't hurt you." The man soothes, his already thick voice, due to his sexy British accent, sounding thicker due to his long, ivory fangs that gleam silver in the Moonlight, as he tries to coax me out from under the bed.I shake my head violently, my nose twitching wildly, as my fluffy red tail curls around my dark brown paws, and I lower my head until my chin bangs lightly against the wooden floor. I realize, with a jolt of fear, that the Vampire is gone! Leaving Robyn and myself alone. My glowing amber eyes widen, as his hand suddenly whips out from my left, and closes around the back of my neck.I look to Robyn for help, my claws scraping across the floor, creating scratches in the polished wood, only to see the spot where he once was empty. I give a series of terrified yelps, as the man gently pulls me out by the scruff of the neck, and holds me up in front of him.My tiny, dark brown paws churn wildly in the air, my ears flat, and my tail waving around wildly, as he looks me up and down, and then pulls me into his muscular chest... Wrapping a small blanket around my wriggling body to calm me down.I begin to chirp and yelp softly, calling out to Robyn, as the man throws the corner of the blanket over my face, and everything goes black. One question rings in my head as I am carried from our home...××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××What is going to happen to us?
