Kept you waiting, huh?

Before everyone dives in, I wanted to say something about the Patreon post I made earlier. Upon looking back on it, it really came off as me unduly bellyaching about the recent policy change on Royal Road. Monetizing fanfiction is a weird legal gray area, and it's their right to dictate what is gucci and what isn't because the site belongs to them. This change does negatively affect me financially, but I could have used a more appropriate tone.

Anyway,

Borne of Caution Act 2: Ch31 is ready.

Hah! This is going to make certain people who didn't believe that I and others were right lose their minds.

You need to change the name to Astia to keep the anagram

Nah, RR has the right to do that, we all have the right to be pissed off about it. I see why this one was difficult, but personally I have no issue with it, particularly on reading the pokedex entries. And yes, the elder birch's reaction promises to be entertaining.

Bro I was reading this like 'I have read this before what is going on' then I had a Dark flashback to the April fools chapter.

I am looking forward to prof birch losing his mind

Yeesss BoC update. Nevertheless RR is just doing whatever to find pennies on the couch...

Agora é vez do Brendan ter um Megathread

GreaterJuan

It's good mate. Can see but sides. But dictate what's Gucci? Should've been a line lol

Gavin Clarkson

That April Fool's update really scarred me. I thought something really bad was going to happen, given the two rewrites.

I like that Latias acknowledged Lee as suitable but just being too committed already to be the one she wants to be captured by.

Fuckin’ dope. Brendan’s path to becoming a Champion tier force just had some wrinkles ironed out of it. With Lee’s Ninetails and Zinnia’s upcoming Salamance, Brendan had been missing a qualitatively superior heavy hitter. I’d been thinking he might be the first of the three to achieve mega to put him on par, but this will prevent him from peaking too early.

PLEASE don't make us wait so long again! I love this story!

Rorandes

Bellyaching? Fug, man. Listen. You should be pissed. They are essentially saying “we are going to profit off of your work but you can’t.”

Basdawimp

Well then. I'll admit, that I did not see coming. Which, in retrospect, is silly of me. The way she was acting was textbook Bianca behaviour.

Joeylumbley

Now Brendan has two love interests in this Latias and Courtney

Ally LeDoux

Fantastic. Well worth the wait.

Well, they are saying if you are promoting your work on our site, you can't link to competition here. It would be like having an ad for a competitors store while inside another store. It's not really done. That said, I do have to ask the eternal question of how the monetization will work and how much the author would get compared to a platform like patreon. Is it worth it for the author, and is the visibility worth it? Because posting your work on a site like royal road can help greatly with that. There is a reason Steam sells most PC games, and developers give them a cut. So I do think Fug has every right to be upset while at the same time understanding he doesn't have to take his business to RR if it becomes annoying to work with. This doesn't mean politeness can't be a thing if no one is being an ass to him.

...just a small complaint.... Feel like Latias shouldnot be too good of a battler. Just saying that ..... Okay how big of a game changer is Latias anyway. Cause I feel like Brendan should avoid relying too much on her.

Rorandes

That makes sense.

Wyatt Hatch

How do I sign the chapter?
