No new Vol 13 chapters today or tomorrow (Patreon)

Sorry everybody. There won't be any chapters today or tomorrow.

On a completely related note... For anyone who thinks that the best way to encourage more and better work from a writer, one who just told you they'll be burning the candle at both ends for a while, is to tell them that the thing they just spent months of their life on is pointless shit... You are wrong.

What that is super good at accomplishing is making an overtired person angry. You know, almost like there's a human being reading those comments. A human being who just got insulted. You know what I don't do well when I'm seething. I don't write good chapters. I don't even write bad chapters. I just sit at my keyboard, seething, and not writing. All goddamn day.

So, I'm going to take the weekend, try to cool down, and then decide what the best route forward is. Part of me thinks it might be time to shut down this page in its current incarnation and start over again. Maybe set up a page strictly for unintended cultivator (one where I don't interact at all), and then another page for everything else. Another part of me thinks that maybe it's time to let go of Patreon entirely. I know that some of that is a knee-jerk reaction, but it's where my head is at right now.

Assuming I don't just shut it down, the less angry part of my brain is telling me it's time to re-institute my policy of not reading any comments. I know everyone hated it when I turned off comments for half a book, so I'm looking for a compromise that avoids that. Just not reading the comments feels like that compromise.

Anyways, that's what's going on.
