First of all, I want to thank everyone for their patience. I am grateful for your kindness and support, even after I took a break so soon after the previous one. It means a lot to me.

Part of the reason why I went on hiatus this time, besides recovering from the holidays, was to consider my plans going forward. After giving it some thought, I've decided to make some changes. As some of you might guess from the title of this post, not all of those changes are good ones. Let me get the bad news about of the way first.

I've decided to drop Former Fake. Simultaneously writing and publishing two webnovels, while also working a full-time job, has taken its toll on me. I don't have the time or energy to keep it up anymore. Rather than run myself haggard, I decided to drop Former Fake and focus all of my efforts on Demon of Dawn and Dusk. I know this will anger and disappointment many of you, but this is something I need to do for the sake of my sanity.

As such I will be making several changes going forward. The biggest one is that I will remove all the membership tiers specific to Former Fake and Demon of Dawn and Dusk. For the former, the reason should be obvious. As for the latter, since I'm going to solely focus on it, I see no reason to maintain a separate set of membership tiers for it. Instead, I will post everything on the Scholar, Sage, and Great Sage tiers.

However, to make up for dropping Former Fake, I will increase the number of chapters those tiers will have early access to. Six chapters for Scholar, twelve chapters for Sage, and eighteen chapters for Great Sage. I will also release three chapters per week for Demon of Dawn and Dusk instead of just two. I haven't decided on the exact days yet, but at the moment I'm leaning towards Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.

To give everyone time to adjust, I won't resume billing until after February 2. By then, I'll have implemented the changes I stated above and I'll also have a backlog of chapters for Demon of Dawn and Dusk. That way, I won't have to go on hiatus again if I get sick or something else happens. This should also be more than enough time for people to switch tiers, or unsubscribe from my Patreon altogether.

Again, I am dropping Former Fake, not putting it on hiatus. While I might pick it up again in the future, the chances of that happening are slim. Rather than give my readers false hope, I wanted to be upfront and honest about it.

Once again, I thank everyone for their patience, and I'm sorry that it has come to this. May 2025 be a wonderful year for all of you.

Understood and I wish you the best going forward. Loved former fake and always looked forward to it's release, but health and sanity always trump all else. I hold out hope in the future, but maybe it's time to give your other story another shot!
