Update time!

Thanks so much for your feedback and support everyone. Your kind words go a long way to keeping me motivated to do my best with this project.

I just uploaded a more or less finalized Chapter 1, incorporating most the feedback you’ve all provided. There are still a few things I may add down the road, but I think it’s time for me to focus on moving forward with Chapter 2 for the time being.

My hope is to have a super rough draft of Ch 2 up before my baby’s due (early September), but frankly I don’t know how likely that is. Though I work on this most days, it takes way longer than expected to write a chapter, but you never know! I’m getting faster all the time.

If that doesn’t work out, it’ll be a long while yet before you see any new content. I’m not planning on writing a whole lot with a newborn, I can tell you that much.

In the meantime, feel free to keep leaving feedback on Ch 1. I may not incorporate it for a while, but I keep notes on what I hope to update in the future.

Thanks again everyone :sparkling_heart:

My main priority right now has been surviving this pregnancy lol, so I will admit that progress has been slow. But it has been happening! I took a step back and did a lot of planning for the story as a whole, and I’ve started coding for chapter 2. Only 1,000 words so far but we’ll get there :smiling_face_with_tear:

Progress is still slow but in the meantime a very short (and free!) royalty story of mine came out today if anyone would like a short little something to tie them over https://whitecrownpublishing.com/return-of-the-sea-queen/

Maybe the male noble can be a party flirty guy? Totally neutral in the conflict but if in love with the MC will support what you do and put their resources behind you?

Baby is coming really soon so I wanted to post one last update before then. I’ve made good progress coding Ch 2 but will not have anything I can share until I’ve adjusted to life with Kid #2, which will be some months at least.

Thanks for your patience and understanding everyone. I have a couple short stories scheduled to come out by the end of the year, so I won’t be a total ghost. If anyone would like to stay updated on those, the best way to do that is to sign up for my newsletter.

Otherwise I’ll catch you all in the new year (God willing)!

Got excited seeing the description, then saw the AI generated picture, no nonbinary option, and hetero only romance… :weary_face:

It’s exactly the sort of premise I love, but as a gay, nonbinary artist, I’m definitely not feeling welcome here.

Feel a bit short for chapter 1. It feel more like introduction chapter. But great work. Keep going

I think it’s not a big problem, if there is no AI writing or the images are not in the game…

A familiar feeling :disappointed_face: Every time I find WIP with exciting plot, but only a female mc. There will always be some games where sexuality or gender of main character is established and the writers have the right to do so…
