I first want to assure everyone that nothing changes for Patreon.

(This is what I posted on WN. Just wanted to show it to you guys)

Hello guys. I believe I have said this many times but yeah. I finally got contracted. though not exactly to WN as I wanted to be able to keep my Patreon and post chapters there.
Anyway, this isn't what is important.
What is important is what it means for readers.
Anyone here knows Stealing Spree? (I put a picture in paragraph to illustrate).
Basically in one week or so this what will happen.
1) I will have to delete most of the chapter here (Until around CH 40 or 60). Will also do the same on my site. Might even erase the site entirely to be done with it.
2) I will move to a new link. It will still be the same story name and author name so yeah don't be alarmed if you suddenly see a second Hikaru Genji.
3) Chapters up to ch 40 or 60 and beyond will be locked.
4) The first few chapters of Vol 1 will be edited and changed a little to close some of my plot holes (Like Sol having red eyes one chapter then Blue eyes the next, lol. I also want to rewrite CH 7 to 8 where Lilith discussed with Sol to make it more coherent).
5) For Pa treons, absolutely nothing changes. So don't need to worry.
6) Once I obtain the new links I will post here.
7) Until I obtain the new Link, I will continue posting the story normally be it here or on Scribble.



Most of you guys have been with me since like two or three years ago. I know many of you will either drop the story or simply migrate to pirate sites. It's sad but there's nothing I can do about that. (Though guys, I only post like 3 chapters a week. Use Fast pass even if you don't want to invest money. I like seeing your comments).

I have honestly thought about it for very long but even though I am nearly finished with my university. I really really want to become a full-time author. This had always been my dream and SHK might be the first step in realizing my dream (or perhaps I will fail grandly and crash. But dreams are never easy.)

Some of you may say I am greedy and I won't search excuse. I am. I want to live from my work and money doesn't grow on trees. I am an adult who is entering active life and I don't wish to live off from my parents until I become old. Thankfully Pa treon helped me become partially independent but It's only enough if I live alone all my life.

if I want to build a family and become a father one day I need much more money. I don't want my future kids to either be in need.

Welp. I went into a tangent. Long story short, I really hope you guys will be happy for me and will continue to follow me and read Sol's adventures.

Congratulations. Kinda surprised you *can* contract that story, as even though it is not FF, it does still make active references to existing franchises, which, depending on how vigilant they are, is grounds for a lawsuit. Sadly, it was the one story of yours I did read, so I guess regardless of how I feel about Qidian, I will be along for the ride for a bit I guess.

HikaruGenji

Haha. Yeah I will have to cool down my anime reference quite a bit. Though don't worry since you guys are Patreon you are totally unaffected by locked chapters. After all whether I lock them on Qidian or not it doesn't change anything here

Food for thought: have you considered releasing SHK in the form of a full volume that readers can buy on something like Amazon? I'm asking cuz another author, Viktor Weissman, who also has a WN contract, does this. It's a nice alternative for those that don't want to deal with WN, and you can try and reach a wider audience this way.

HikaruGenji

Yep. This is honestly one of my greatest goal. Always wished to do something on Amazon. Currently I am working with a friend who is also partially an editor to rework on vol 1. There are many many little things I need to work on vol 1 to make it work on Amazon haha😅 and sadly since he is also a student. He can't be full time on this.
