Quick Runebound Update (Patreon)

Hey all!

I wanted to quickly mention that I’m aware Runebound slowed a bit more than I had intended, especially in the last 10-15 chapters. I just wanted to let you all know I’m going to be really focusing on polishing up and having more fun progression (and making the next arc more exciting. slice of life is fun, but in moderation). I write pretty quickly, so it’s easy for me to get lost in the trees sometimes, so I appreciate everyone that helps keep me on track.

Thanks so much for your support, and let me know what you think of these next few chapters (starting with the ones I posted today), as they’re where I’ll be starting to re-rail the train and get things moving again.

You all rock,

Actus

My fav new story to follow, keep it up

Andrew Kinzler

I have no issue with the slower pace. I’m enjoying seeing the side characters being fleshed out more. Plus Noah is a teacher so I feel there should be some time spent focused on teaching and their growth

I really like the slice of life stuff. It gives depth to the story.

Thanks :) I have no plans of stopping that. I just also want to have a little more progression

Hey the story is just great as it is. But you do what you feel is best. This is your work and only you can/should decide. We are just along for the ride.

Mario Schade

Well.. of course we are the readers and you have to somehow catch the interest of a lot of people to get something out of it.. but, it is your story and you should write like you feel it will be the best story you can tell us with your ideas. If this includes a miniarc slice of life or 3 chapters just theoretical numbers on runes or a chapter to just describe a place. So let it be. Of course can a story go too slow in general or a n arc not as action packed as other arcs. But you cant have a nice fight without a good way to it. Reasons, characters, powers. Just action after action can be a well written.. but most of the time it is just a power creep and not a fun and interesting story and i dont know of a lot of well written action only stories, esp. longer ones need space to breathe between. So please do not feel bad after just a few slower chapters if you felt you needed these chapters for later or just because it felt right at the moment to include these in your story. I hope more people out there enjoy a good world, nice magic system and actual characters and worldbuilding over just magic fight after magic fight. I believe it is a better base for a story and get rather nervous (in the sense of - please please keep the style) when even the author, after just a few quiet chapters with a few thousand words, thinks there is too little happening and there should be more action because that is what he thinks everyone only wants to read. Keep it going. I want to see how Noah gets something with water and what he will do :D

Just keep doing you and it'll continue to be good. I wouldn't worry about it slowing down, I think we all know that it's going to pick up at some point and if a story is all rush all the time it gets old quick. I think it's fine as-is

Fruchtig

The ’slower‘ pace fits pretty well into the story ig, at least I don’t see any reason why it wouldn’t and it’s not really that slow imo. Just a quick question: I kinda remember reading about faster chapter release for gleam at some point in the future, is that true and what would the new one look like?

Yeah, it’s true! I’ll be aiming for 4 or 5 chapters a week for gleam rather than 2-3. Not sure on exact numbers yet but I’ll keep all updated

Slowing down occasionally is good in my mind. I tend to burn out reading something that’s just constant action and high tension excitement. Real life isn’t like that, so neither should stories. You need to take a breath to explore the world and relationships and all that goodness too, which is what you’ve been doing, so I think you’re doing good work.

Sleepking10

A little moxie and Noah romance never hurt anybody lol great work keep it up. :)

Sean

It hasn't been too bad. I wasn't super excited about all the Emily, Todd, and Isabel chapters but I also didn't hate them.

TheLunaticCo

I'm not the biggest fan of the student stuff(Despite it being in the title 😋) but I do love the slower slice of life stuff, it makes things feel more... Whole.

Aertheron

I didn't really think last arc was slowing down. It had action, it had some much needed character building for the kids, it had new characters introduced, it had foreshadowing. Yes it's fun when the MC progresses, but when it's breakneck action, going from one upgrade to the next that gets pretty boring TBH. I like your writing style and the occasional slower section isn't any problem at all.

Ale

Well to be fair a story has to have its moments of calm so it was to be expected, it wasn't even that bad, i enjoyed it. More character and world building that's gonna help down the line

In fact, I believe you could take even a little longer by interspersing the SoL dialogue with a bit more than the immediately or soon to be important stuff and maybe take time to flesh the characters out, by maybe not just telling us about their backstory and what they became because of that, but also by showing more of the mundanity that their resulting life produced. You’ve done a really good job at this so far. Keep it up (not that you’d need me to say this and it shows).

Kail

Less is happening per chapter, but the chapters are coming out quick. It is what is common with web serials. Would love it to be more progressive per chapter, but it is part of the style.

Kenshii

i actually like this slower rate atm because it gives us time to breathe after that long travel arc

Vortozan

You added in a lot of slice of life elements in last chapters but it isn’t to the point where it dragged on yet. I think the decision to kick things up a notch again now is great, but don’t discount how good your pacing has been so far!
