Chapter delay until next Saturday, March 1st. (Patreon)

I woke up with my right ear ringing nonstop and itching. I’ve scheduled an appointment with an expert, but I think it’s either an ear infection or something else like earwax compaction. Either way, it’s nonstop. The itching is worse.

Not what I need right now. The other part is that I have finished this next chapter. It is 70,000 words + the ending of 10.34, which is a third of a chapter in of itself. Editing in two days would be nearly impossible, regardless of the ear problems.

The beta-reader response is coming in now; I just finished writing. However, I agree with one comment that reads:

‘This is like v8/v9 ending where people need to see the whole piece at once to not, like, die’

It must be told well, and for that I need time, as I warned you. Call this my monthly week off? Did I already take it? I’m not sure. I’m drinking coffee to stay functional and losing track of the days. But I do think this chapter, and the next, will be the last two.

And an epilogue, obviously, but it could well be under 20,000 words. Who knows, but I will take till the 1st for this one.

With apologies, and thank you for understanding. I will release an Enuryn comic on Saturday instead.
