What's the Next Story Going to Be? (Patreon)

Hi, everyone!

I hope you're all having a great week.

So! As you may know, I recently launched Hidden Class: Card Slinger, while still actively writing Hidden Class: Handyman—and yes, I’m also working on the full rewrite of Snap Craft. It’s been a busy year.

That said, Card Slinger hasn’t quite reached the response I was hoping for. It peaked at #12 on Rising Stars, but growth has already stalled at around 750 followers. Because of that, I’ll be shifting to weekly chapter releases for now, and keep an eye on how it grows over the next few months.

In the meantime, I’m already thinking ahead to what comes next! I’d love your help choosing the direction of my next story. Below are four concepts I’ve been toying with—let me know which one you’d be most excited to read:

Hidden Class: Dinosaur Whisperer

A slice-of-life adventure set in the same game as Handyman. The protagonist is an elderly man who has just retired and joins the game to bond with his grandson. His hidden class? He can talk to dinosaurs. Expect heartwarming moments, chill dinosaur shepherding, and plenty of prehistoric charm.

Isekaid as a Farming Beetle

A wild, off-world isekai tale. Humans are turned into insects by a giant alien race and dropped onto a savage new planet. Our MC? A beetle who just wants to tend his crops in peace—while the rest of the world descends into insect-fueled chaos.

Golden Ark

A darker, dystopian tale. When extradimensional beings begin erasing humans, only those sealed inside gold-lined shelters survive. Trapped in isolation, humanity escapes into a VR game. As online tyrants rise and enslave the weak, one man, Noah, sends his mind back in time to change everything. His mission? Build a digital sanctuary for the kind-hearted inside the game. A story about survival, morality, and the haunting question: If we could only save a few... who would we choose?

Beating Depression for Levels Online

Yes, the title sounds heavy, but this is a hopeful comedy at heart. A twin brother volunteers for a strange experimental treatment: to enter his depressed brother’s mind, which now presents itself as a video game world consumed by darkness. Think Zelda meets Inside Out, with jokes, monsters, and moments of insight about living with and supporting those with depression.

Let me know which one calls to you! You can vote for more than one, if you want. I’d love to hear your thoughts. Poll below 🔽
