Very Important Update (Please Read)
Added 2023-06-09 04:54:16 +0000 UTCNew chapters soon, sorry for the delay. We had a death in the family we had to attend to for the past few days and I fell a bit behind. Don't worry, I'm fine. My wife was hit much harder than me by it.
However, Solar Dragons 5 and Succubus Summoner 2 are in the final stretch and I should start commissioning new art soon. We are also working on Master Class 3 now. But there is something you all should know. I posted about it on Discord but I'll post it here for those who didn't see it.
As of this week, Amazon has made a change that forces all books with sexual content to self-report, resulting in instant search results censorship. We have a lot of questions right now but it looks like our options are as follows:
- Write the same stuff and self-report the truth about our content and make an estimated 1/4 of the profits we were expecting from now on.
- Write the same stuff and directly lie to Amazon about the presence of adult content and possibly face a ban from Kindle if we are caught.
- Move to “fade to black” sex scenes and possibly put sex scenes as bonus content on our Patreons.
This means a lot of series will have to be canceled and a lot of authors will likely quit the industry. Deacon Frost reported that his own profits went down 66% after opting to comply right away. Those of us who try our best to persevere will need your help and support. Please spread the word so the haremlit fanbase knows what’s going on. Thank you.

You know Virgil, you could create your own website to have people pay for your books and use BookFunnel to get them onto kindle. I've seen Eric Vall use it as a way to get a book or two onto kindle without having to go through Amazon's reading and approval algorithms.

2023-06-11 13:25:18 +0000 UTCWas going to recommend something similar. Putting in a note in the book that explains that the uncensored version is only available on Patreon because of Amazon's TOS will bring more user attention to the Patreon as well. I'm betting that this too is against Amazon's terms due to some non-compete/monopoly clause.

2023-06-10 03:27:44 +0000 UTCmaybe do a ftb version on amazon but release a spicy epub on a patreon tier? perhaps with a different cover art (way spicier) just for the flex.
