Minor break from RR while I continue to write
So I've been spending a lot more time editing and rewriting lately, which means I've fallen far behind. I just said yesterday that I didn't want to take a break from releases, but I changed my mind. 784 is a good place to pause as any, and 785 needs more work before it's ready, and maybe even a partial rewrite that I dont really want to commit to. So since editing is no fun and doi...
Chapter 786 unedited unmemed
Author's Note: First off, i'd like to apologize for how late this chapter is. I got hung up on editing 783 and will probably get hung up on 784 and 785 too. I knew this would happen coming into march, which is why I suspended payment, so I could get hung up on chapters and edit them to my heart's content. That being said, I'm dumb and forgot to account for new patrons, and there ha...

Chapter 784 unedited unmemed
Got a little sidetracked trying to come up with the best way to slot all the pieces together, but here it be. Read a lot of speculation on how this would unfurl, which was lots of fun, so hope it lives up to they hype.https://docs.google.com/document/d/1D6-5ZO0U1eksxYp-s0HKwuXjHlmoykFB5RMHbV7mnNQ/edit?usp=sharingRecord scratch.Freeze frame.You see that guy?

Extra day off
Gonna take an extra day off, just to do more editing and catch up so I can continue writing with a little less stress. I'm gonna take my time with the rest of the chapters, so may be more delays in the near future, but that's the way it gonna be.As an added note, I've gone ahead and paused billing for March, for reasons that I'm sure you can probably guess, but I won't say for ...

Author's note: Gonna say this right now. I hate how this is written.That being said, I'm tired and frustrated and mildly burned out. i need a break, even just a day, to hopefully get my head on straight again. This chapter went very differently in my head, but i kept getting bogged down in the minutia, and I don't like it one bit.In short, this is not the chapter I envisioned it would ...

I've been toying with the idea of changing this up a lot, but havent made my mind up just yet. We'll see how it goes. For now, here's the lightly edited version.

Chapter 772 unedited unmemed, Next chapter delayed til tuesday
Author's note: Sorry I'm late yet again, but here it is. As stated in the title, no chapter on sunday. Needed the1 chapter break because Chinese New Years is upon us, and both my mom and my sister want to host dinner.

Chapter 770 unedited unmemed
Author's Note: So I had this great, amazing idea to make Rain's narration more dynamic, which involved jumping in and out of different PoVs in rapid fire order. It sounded like a great idea in theory, a face-paced jump through various conflicts to get a look at how the battle is unfolding overall, but it crashed and burned before really getting off the ground.So I had to go back to my init...

Sorry but I'm so behind on writing that I even forgot to edit this. I'll have it edited along with 768 for tuesday, but for now, I'm afraid you'll just have to bear with the unedited version. It just slipped my mind that I had to do this, since I was busy doing edits to 766, which by the way HAS changed so go check that out on RR.Seriously, my apologies for all the slip ups lately,...
