hello everyone, I'm working on improving stability, uncached full files will take a while to load and imports are a bit backlogged both due to bandwidth. Thank you.

Content

So I've hit 5K/month!  This is amazing, thank you all my patrons!

Now, a loong time back I set that as my goal to "write full time."  Which uh...I actually have been doing for a bit.  I still have a full time day job, but with WFH I have had a lot more time to actually get writing done, which is why I managed to push out my chapter backlog for Paranoid Mage and get it rolling.  I will absolutely try to write more - it'd be great if I could once in a while release double chapters or something!

So, for the moment, not much will change, or rather, you've already seen the changes - extra chapters for everyone!  There's also the fact that this is possibly a mere peak, and people won't like Paranoid Mage enough to stay.  I do realize that budgets have to be maintained and paying $10/mo may not be sustainable for a lot of people.  However, I will do my best to provide more content for people.

Congratulations! I'm trying to work my way there as well and it is always nice to see someone reach the goal.

May I offer a suggestion? Grant the $1 tier access to your stories 1 chapter ahead of Royal Road. It fits in with your other tiers (5 chapters ahead for the $5 tier, 10 chapters ahead for the $10 tier) and offers a return for those who want to support you at the lower level. I absolutely love your work, but I support multiple authors here, and $5 per month is just too much for me. However, I really want to support your work, so I subscribe at the $1 tier even though it doesn't offer any direct return. Just a suggestion, and you may want to wait before implementing it, seeing as you just tweaked your tiers for the new year and for the transition to your new story (which I'm quite enjoying so far, btw).

Awesome news! I look forward to the potential for double chapter releases! Just please make sure not to burn out; it would be a tragedy to not get more chapters of Paranoid Mage, even if us readers are always greedy for more chapters and faster writing (:

Waluigi

Looking forward to what else you have in store!

InadvisablyCompelled

I might do that thing! The $5 is only four chapters, which makes the $1 uhhh maybe better value for money but it's probably not a huge deal. Not like you can buy it four times...

Corwin Amber

I very much enjoy the new story. I look forward to seeing where you take it. Well worth the upgrade to the $10 :)

Pine yor

New story is amazing

BubblyGhost

You keep writing and I'll keep supplying. Haha

The new story is very good.. if there is a decent turnout of chapters I’m hooked enough to pay 10$ a month

Talespinner Lore

yo, I'm here for paranoid mage. You finally got my money.

haidbz

Well, I for one am now going from 5$ to 10$. I didn't expect to like Paranoid Mage when I read the synopsis, but hot damn, was I mistaken!

Chymor

I like paranoid mage, but I’m probably going to be reading it in batches and cancel the membership until there is a full new batch ready. On the other hand, that’s no different from blue core. But the $10, 10 chapter tier means I’ll be back somewhat less frequently, but keep writing a high quality story and I’ll be back regularly.

InadvisablyCompelled

Hey man, just FYI, the daily chapters were only for the first week. I can't write that fast normally! So I'll be returning to 1/week chappies after this.

Luke Preston

I have tell you I'm absolutely loving paranoid mage

Anders Kronquist

I'm loving paranoid mage - the worldbuilding is really neat, and getting to know the system along with the MC is very nice.

jdouglas

10 is a lot per month... that's like a full book, like 2 from indy authors, per month for what isn't a book per month... but I mean I'm paying it, probably cancel and reup every other/third month... idk, your call

I’ve paid $4.50 a month to read Azearnth Healer for like three years now. The uploads have been a pretty consistent 4 chapters a week, was daily before they got a larger traction. Haven’t regretted that. But $10 a month for one upload a week is asking too much.

Michael Frankford

Congrats on writing full time! So do we get 1 chapter of paranoid mage a week then? Do you have an update schedule in mind? I just subscribed to the $5 tier. I would suggest 2 chapters a week instead though, other authors offer 2-5 a week for around the same price.

InadvisablyCompelled

My chapters are 5,000 words, so big heckin' chonkers. Most authors have about that much, or more likely, closer to 6k, but they split it into different installments.

Michael Frankford

Fair point, I hadn't actually thought of that!

Melnik5

I don’t know if you mentioned or not, but how much chapters are you planning on release a week? Do you have a set schedule for this story yet? I love the story, keep up the great work.

Zachary Smith

I really like the story. 10$ a month is kinda high but if you can provide enough content, I can justify it. Love the story thanks for being a great author

sri kalyan mulukutla

Rather than a 5k big bulky chapter can you split into like 3k and 2-3k chapter and release it twice a week?

Dahak

Based on what Patreon is showing, I'd say you smashed $5k a month clean out of the window! Seems like lots of people, me included, are really interested in the new book. Keep up the good work!

NoodleGod

I was going to leave bc $10 is spendy, but I like where the story is going. I'll stay

I think some web serial authors luck out a bit on popularity on their main series. Then they have trouble branching out or leaving their older story behind. So I was rather hesitant to give Paranoid Mage a try. But it’s great and I’m really enjoying it.

Hooked by Blue Core, read PM on RR and had to support your incredible efforts. Keep it up! I’m rooting for ya! I really like the mature/older MC perspective vs. a lot of fiction on RR focused around young/early-in-career adults.

Luis Rubio

I paid $10 for your new book, paranoid mage, hope you finish it and of course keep the quality.
