Don't mind this. It's so that free readers can't see half the chapter when the chapter eventually becomes patron only.

For those of you who are reading this on a website that is not Patreon, please stop. You're reading a pirated version. Instead, if you would be so kind, please click on the table of contents link below and go to my Patreon instead. Or even read it off of Royal Road, which is free.

As with all Q&A posts, ask me anything and I will most likely answer depending on the question.
This is the first Q&A post for Pioneer of the Abyss. And so far the story has been doing rather well on Royal Road and my motivation still hasn't crashed for it like it normally does for stories I release on Royal Road.

My question is - have you lost motivation for crimson eternal? That was a lovely story that I still follow and why I actually subscribed, yet compared to the beginning, the chapters have slowed down so much..
Meh
2025-05-23 00:10:02 +0000 UTCHonestly, other than the story being good, the number of releases and how fast you did them is making an effect.
Meh
2025-05-23 00:08:53 +0000 UTCEverytime I watch a female streamer there's always hundreds of comments and live chat saying to show feet. Where's my boiis at! You can't silence the truth!

2025-05-16 18:37:20 +0000 UTCOh well, Aqua’s pioneer live stream is going to be ridiculously popular when she gets to the abyss isn’t it.

2025-05-13 16:43:19 +0000 UTCThere is only one entrance. I'm not saying how big it is as I want to keep that secret. I also want to keep the insides of it mostly secret.
WolfShine
2025-05-13 16:03:20 +0000 UTCCan we have some more information on the Abyss? Is there only one entrance/exit? How big is it? What is it like inside? Are there like floating underwater worlds or continents etc?
Aeonstorm
2025-05-13 15:59:54 +0000 UTCTraits that allow hidden stats to grow are only available to Bloodlines. No normal human without a Bloodline has a way to increase a hidden stat outside of free points. The cube just unlocks the hidden stat. To increase the stat it's no different from other stats. Use free points from leveling up. There is no list as the hidden stats people get are 100% random and very rarely the same one as someone else might get. That cube is something only one in a trillion people could even get. So no, it's not even possible for someone to go around collecting them. There is a limit of three hidden stats per person unlockable. The System Administrator already has all three unlocked so that special cube is useless to him. All hidden stats are worth it.
WolfShine
2025-05-13 15:13:54 +0000 UTCBeen enjoying this. Hope your motivation remains high. My questions are about hidden stats. Aqua got one with her bloodline that allows it to grow but is that actually normal? She has that cube that can grant one but will it grant a trait or some such that will help its growth? Is there a list that is more or less universal for everyone or is it more a personalized stat depending on factors? If that cube exists has someone gone out of their way to get as many hidden stats as possible? Is there a limit? And finally in your personal opinion how many hidden stats would be worth actually trying to get? (Since points are limited at the moment based on level)

2025-05-13 14:37:18 +0000 UTCYou'll have to read and find out yourself for the first question. But the second question is a yes, they do have a device to track if her parents are alive or dead.
WolfShine
2025-05-13 07:28:25 +0000 UTCDid the Abyssal Kraken sense Aqua been born? Is that what caused the situation with her parents going missing? Also is there some method by which the two families can know if Aqua’s parents are alive and is this why they are still searching for them?
Aeonstorm
2025-05-13 07:27:23 +0000 UTCIt did already exist.
WolfShine
2025-05-13 07:01:40 +0000 UTCDid the Abyssal Kraken exist before Aqua awoke her bloodline? Or did it spontaneously manifest out of nowhere in the depths of the Abyss? This feels like something you might touch on in the story eventually, but I thought I might as well ask lol. I’ve been really loving the story by the way, thanks for writing! 🔱

2025-05-13 06:48:23 +0000 UTCThat's the current plan, but it's possible it could change in the future. Unlikely though.
WolfShine
2025-05-13 05:30:26 +0000 UTCdo you intend to have only humans as sapient beings ? (except the ancient beings) like mermaids, fishmen ?
Atila M
2025-05-13 05:27:39 +0000 UTCNo and no.
WolfShine
2025-05-13 05:00:00 +0000 UTCYou'll have to wait and see.
WolfShine
2025-05-13 04:59:50 +0000 UTCWhat does a pioneer need to do to get control of the planet they’re sent to?
Aeonstorm
2025-05-13 04:29:05 +0000 UTCA few system questions. 1) is there a maximum level people can achieve? 2) Do titles exist, since it seems like World First Ranker is a trait instead?
PaintedMirror36
2025-05-13 03:32:08 +0000 UTCIt won't be for a long time.
WolfShine
2025-05-13 01:07:17 +0000 UTCWhen is aqua going to get a full transformation ability?? And will she have 3 forms like the partial shift so abyssal orca, kraken and abyssal kraken??
Stuart prior
2025-05-13 01:04:48 +0000 UTCYou'll have to wait and see.
WolfShine
2025-05-13 01:02:37 +0000 UTCIs the abyssal kraken that supposedly got her uncle aqua's ancestor in some way?
Chris Hodge
2025-05-13 00:58:21 +0000 UTCNope. There are different extra traits for the leaderboards besides just the planetary one though. Including the Galaxy-wide leaderboards and the universe-wide leaderboards.
WolfShine
2025-05-13 00:51:41 +0000 UTCAre their feats or something like it kind of like the first ranker that gives extra powers or is that it
posidein
2025-05-13 00:50:41 +0000 UTCThat you'll have to wait and see for. Also, it seems you might be misunderstanding something based on the way you worded that. There is only a single Abyssal Orca in existence. There is also only a single Kraken in existence. There is only one of each origin for the Bloodlines in existenc.
WolfShine
2025-05-13 00:45:58 +0000 UTCHow exactly do bloodlines come about. If you go far enough back, is there an abyssal orca direct ancestor? Or is it something like just taking blood from the orca in the past?
Jake Rands
2025-05-13 00:44:10 +0000 UTCProbably not, but I could change my mind in the future.
WolfShine
2025-05-13 00:31:15 +0000 UTCWill she get a unique last name for herself
ChaosOmega98
2025-05-13 00:30:51 +0000 UTCNo idea. At the very least a week or two though.
WolfShine
2025-05-13 00:24:36 +0000 UTCI'll say a few. There's also the Phoenix Bloodline, the Thunderbird Bloodline, and the Glacial Wolf. The rest and you'll just have to wait and see.
WolfShine
2025-05-13 00:23:56 +0000 UTCNope. However many I end up writing.
WolfShine
2025-05-13 00:20:52 +0000 UTCA lot.
WolfShine
2025-05-13 00:20:24 +0000 UTCHow many more hashtags will Aqua get? 😆 #MinerAqua #PredatorAqua
Le Sparkle
2025-05-13 00:19:38 +0000 UTCDo you have any idea how many chapters are there going to be in book 1
Hillbillyjedi
2025-05-13 00:19:21 +0000 UTCHow long do you think you will keep up posting this often
Tyler Shepherd
2025-05-13 00:18:33 +0000 UTCAside from Hydra, Abyssal Orca, and Kraken, what are some of the other Bloodlines out there? Will any of them have any prominence later on?
