update 37.

WHAT I DID.

apologies for the late update! it's a holiday here in canada (thanksgiving; we do it a whole month earlier than americans for some reason) and i've been caught up between that and my job.

but enough of that. i want everyone to scroll down, look at the word count i accomplished this week and come back up. are your eyes bugging out of your head? mine too. you may be wondering: is this the same person who struggles to write 2-4k a week? the answer? absolutely not. the person i became this week to finish the chapter... you do not want to see her. she's a combination of being stubborn and also being so exhausted writing this chapter that she never wanted to open its word doc again. 

all of what i wrote this week was solely the branch where the ro gets injured. that's it. i was kidding myself when i said that it would only end up being 2-3k words. if it was a common route, sure, but i forgot to account for the different responses each ro would give and how while this is technically one branch, it's also a branch that splits into five. very fun.

i think a lot of people are thinking this route is the most boring and, fair enough. when you can get injured yourself, the angst surely must be through the roof compared to if you let someone else do it. they're not exactly wrong, but i'd encourage you to read at least one path from this route regardless. it's a lot more interesting than i thought it would turn out. by that, i'm referring to some of the things that the ros reveal or say to the hunter, all of which was not what i was planning on adding in yet, but was happy with nonetheless when i saw an opportunity for it.

with that branch finished, however, i've officially completed the writing for chapter eight !! of course, we still have some ways to go. i have to edit it (twice, i miss so many things on the first go), code it and then send it off to beta testers before it can touch patreon, but knowing that the hardest part is over is a huge sigh of relief. you may get it on halloween but i'm pretty certain that i can get this out to you this month. look forward to it <3

SNEAK PEEK.

Rylan leans their head back against the armrest. "Out of all the places to wake up, this has to be top five. This might be the best couch I've ever sat on. Maybe this the kind of furniture only a Hunter's salary can afford."

"You passed out an hour ago and this is what you want to talk about?"
