Status Update - July 2023
🕑 Added 2023-07-15 12:03:00 +0000 UTCGreetings Adventurers!
As tradition requires, thank you, everyone, for your continuous support! I'm extremely grateful for your presence here and all the feedback and comments. Also, welcome to all the new people joining here and there. I'm happy to have you!
A bit late and short too :v
First, TWS Vol. 6 audio. I can share that it's awaiting approval on Audible after being submitted quite some time ago. Not sure what they are doing so long there but there's not much we can do on our side. The release date was set for the early August exactly to give them time so we can expect it around that time I hope.
Second, TWS Vol. 7 audio. Good news is that another volume is being worked on actively so it won't take long after 6th release for it to join the family. Then, I'm pretty sure Volume 8 in ebook will be out by that time so we should be able to jump into it right away. So far we've been on a decent streak and the narrators are great. Hopefully, it remains like this :v
Third, TWS Vol. 8 ebook/paperback release. I'm hoping for the start of August too if things don't get too derailed in the process. The recent slog in all stories is me trying to match that deadline so apologies. As for the F and D-rank supporters, I'll naturally unlock the remaining chapters a while before the release so you can catch up before they are hidden. Keep an eye on your mailboxes as I will send everyone a message about it.
Fourth, arts. As you might have seen from the sketches, finally things moved on a bit. I also decided to change my approach. I've usually searched for various independent artists through various socials who have nice style, but the queues and delays are damn hard. So, I think I will reach out to actual art studios. Things will unfortunately turn much pricier but I'm hoping for a bit more stability and more regular art drops, and thanks to your support, I can cover this difference. Wish me luck.
Once more apologies for all the issues and thanks for everything. Now, imma get back to tapping away and setting things up for the releases.
I think that's all if I didn't forget anything. If you have any questions, always feel free to hit me up!
Cheers!

The entire thing is I don't want AI art. Yes, I know how to deal with it and most likely even a bit better than many thanks to my knowledge and upbringing, but it doesn't sit well with me. Plus, literally everyone is now switching to it. It's like the market is becoming what female romance is, full of copied images of half-naked dudes that look identical every time. Not that I have an issue with that, of course. And AI art is great. I just know the technicalities of how it works and it's very sad. Yes, human creators also "copy" from each other, but AI is pretty much pure tracing, taking a single stolen image and then applying effects on it and altering parts. Perhaps there might come a day when I'm forced to use it or will just give up when it will be impossible to be noticed without AI art, but it's not yet now. It would have to be for a new series too. TWS and DCI already have their covers and I'm not going to switch them to AI after the perfect depictions of the girls that I've received.

Have you checked out AI art I know a couple others have switched over to that and they’re able to even make some themselves. Bruce Sentar is a big one you could ask him

Will show up whenever possible. I want to release the current DCI Vol2 around August/September so the chappies will come sometime soon.
Ryan Romano
Any updates on DCI?
