Well god damn. I'm alive! Who could have thought?
Update post coming after this one, I think- but for here, enjoy this one! Kept it in the oven a lot longer than normal, as you all may have noticed, and I quite like it in spite of how hard it was to cook.

2025-05-30 06:59:52 +0000 UTC View PostHello! Recovery period is ongoing but significant progress has been made! This chapter came out great, and it felt really fun to do an action scene again, even if we're reaching towards that point in a xianxia where every battle takes all of ten seconds and also a billion miles, lol. Looking ...
2025-05-26 18:06:31 +0000 UTC View PostGot broken up with today, so the depressive spiral hasn't exactly improved, but turns out that pain is a good motivator when you need an outlet for it!

2025-05-23 04:01:30 +0000 UTC View PostSo you might have noticed it's not technically RfR's week yet, since I've only done (checks notes, winces) two VISCERAE chapters all last week.
Well, my brain is fucked and I am all out of whack and big sad, and VISCERAE, as much as I love her, is considerably<...
2025-05-20 22:40:30 +0000 UTC View PostHey! Bit of a dull chapter, for which I apologize! A lot of buildup and a bit of introspection, relating to my own messy lil brainspace I guess. Part of me wants to speed things the hell up, part of me is going "woah this is going so fast into the unknown! Waaaah!"
Anyways. En...

2025-05-08 04:03:38 +0000 UTC View PostI won't lie my loves, this chapter became an unexpected result in many ways, not least in that I intended to do a skip back a week to pov 8.2 after last chapter's events. But you know what? This balls way harder, and I do, as the kids say, mcfuckin love to ball hard. Enjoy a chapter with some...
2025-05-07 20:34:17 +0000 UTC View PostHehe. Bet y'all thought I forgot about that particular plot point, huh?
Raika's plan culminates at last- and on goes the Wheel.

2025-05-06 04:09:44 +0000 UTC View PostA slightly weird mis-quotation of the famous "pound of flesh" quote from The Merchant of Venice, Shakespeare. Not sure I love it, but I do think it fits the surreal nature of this particular chapter, which is one of the mor...

Edit: nevermind, it's Macklemore, I love that motherfucker
In the meantime, enjoy! We getting
hehe. My darling fucko Raika got some ideas in her head. I'm trying to balance describing the Jianghu of Morae and also not bog us down in meaningless details, so I apologize if I haven't succeeded quite as thoroughly as either side demands, but I think it's going alright so far. Look forward...
2025-05-03 04:00:42 +0000 UTC View PostAnd here we are, the final chapter! I considered giving us a sexy little Qen Hou and Hao Nera thing, and I could also do some chapters for Taran, with Jun Vral, with some of the cultivators from the tournament arc way back... but nah. We got stuff to focus on, and I don't want to spent too lo...

Hello! Took a break yesterday, but back to two chapters today, with some RR posts coming right behind! Writathon and my aforementioned promises bind me to this very enjoyable (if tiring) endeavor! In the meantime, welcome to a new arc! Quick wrap-it-up and some cool seeds planted, and then ba...
2025-04-19 18:09:16 +0000 UTC View PostSo I was writing the opening blurb for a chapter, and then it sort of just kept going! And I liked it!

2025-04-17 01:33:18 +0000 UTC View PostThis one was itching at me! Couldn't go to bed until it was done and at long last, here it is. I'm thinking one more chapter, and then after that, we're wrapping up the arc with a return to the VR / LitRPG side of things, rebounding to that aspect and the way it's shaping the world!
