Greetings, dear Readers!

I have officially decided against a partnership with Podium as I got a much better offer for self-publishing from a smaller Publisher (Royal Guard) that published stories like Jake's Magical Market and... well, boatloads of smut, lmao.

Since I am not an American citizen, I am unable to self-publish on Audible as I can not create an ACX account. This requires me to go through a Publisher. Royal Guard, which would only take a small cut for their services and access to their narrators would give me more than twice the rates that Podium would. The only real drawback is that I do not get to take advantage of their larger audience and advertisement tools.

I also hired both an Artist group that has already made a handful of covers and an editor who is currently working on Book 1 Initiation.

On a different topic, as promised, I looked into the next tier if I noticed an interest in it. I want to preface all this by saying that I am not a full-time author, and I learned how stressful things can get, so I don't want to overpromise.

That said, I feel that just doubling the offering would be boring, but I'll still list it and some other options. I will also create a higher Discord tier (Ascender), although it's not a priority as the channel isn't quite that lifely yet.

Regarding the second-to-last option, my aim is to maintain a minimum of 25 advanced chapters, with the goal of staying significantly ahead and keeping this as the final tier. The objective is to provide you with as many chapters ahead as possible without stressing over a dwindling backlog. This means that there wouldn't be fixed release times beyond the usual RR schedule of Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Most likely, I'll adjust the minimum at some point, but for now, I'm still working on building up my backlog. The only reason my backlog is currently healthy is that I had a blast writing about the events following the trial.

Thank you and Cheers!
