Weekly Update? No, new story update!
          
          I'm finally releasing the D&D story that I've been writing! If you've enjoyed the comedic and chaotic scenarios that I've been writing so far, you'll definitely enjoy this! As always, the story will be updated once every two days, so look forward to it.

Also, I ended up making the cover slightly different from what I usually did. Being colorblind doesn't help with making something like this, so tell me if it looks weird so I can fix it!

I was trying to start working on the cover for my next story but the internet went down, this sucksssssssss
          
          Tbh I have no idea how to make an actual cover since I would usually just go find cool fanarts and slap that on as cover. Can't really do that with an original story unfortunately, so now I'm left scratching my head.
          
          I'll probably just find a picture that looks decent, slap on the title with a nice looking font and call it a day. I'll also try looking around at the book covers of people that I follow, maybe I'll get a divine inspiration or something.
          
          Well, that's after this piece of junk internet provider starts working, that is. I'll just continue writing on my phone for now.

Right, it's Weekly Update time.
          
          I got 1.5 chapters done this week, but work's only getting busier. I'm a bit worried about just leaving you all hanging with nothing new, so I got a proposition: What do you think if I try posting a few chapters first, then stopping after I'm halfway through so I can complete the story, then posting the rest of the story when I finished it? 
          
          I think it's good to try new approaches to my upload schedule. While I do like posting everything on a regular schedule of one chapter every two days, making you wait for my next writing this long just doesn't sit right with me. Plus, I'm getting a feeling that my next Hololive story that I'll write after I'm finished with my current work will be just as long as this one. If it works now,  I'll use it in the future. If not, then back to regular schedule. Simple as.
          
          I'll probably post around ten chapters with the usual schedule (1 chapter every 2 days) before I take a short break from uploading it until I finished it.  Then, it's back on posting like usual. Just tell me what you think and I'll put it to consideration because I do appreciate the input! If you agree to it, I think I'll be able to put it into motion in a week or so.
          
          Sorry for making you wait, and please look forward to it!

Whoops, I'm late for the Weekly Update.  Yesterday's just that busy, sorry.
          
          I made a progress of two chapters and this story still seemed like it ain't gonna end. I'm not gonna lie, I might just release it if it ain't done by the end of this month.
          
          I do have to say that I really enjoy how the story is shaping up, but balancing writing, work, vidya games, and all my irl stuff is pretty tough rn. But I'll do my best because I still want to keep writing. Just gotta do what I can do and all that stuff.
          
          I felt really bad about making you all wait for so long ;____;

Time for that Weekly Update that I definitely didn't almost forget!
          
          Progress have been slow, half of it is because work is beating my ass as per usual, but the other half is because I just got Helldivers 2 and that game is too much fun.
          
          I blame my lack of progress on the video game. It's their fault for making the video game too much fun to the point of making me want to keep playing it.
          
          I did get a chapter and a half done, at least. I'll continue working on it to reach the deadline that I set. Pleaseeee just give me the motivation to finish writing this story so I can write my next story idea!!!!

Wattpad won't have DMs anymore (allegedly) so if you need to hmu for whatever reason, I got a twitter that I forgot I have

          Seriously, I keep forgetting I have this account and I post my updates here anyway, but it's there at least

Hey, I'm here for that Weekly Update!
          
          My real life work's been a bit rough this week, but I managed to put a considerable progress on my D&D story! But I kinda noticed something about it.
          
          It's hella long.
          
          I'm not sure why, but ideas kept popping in as I kept on writing, and the chapters ended up being pretty long compared to my writings so far. Was it because I was writing about things that I went through? Or was it because I was writing with a (somewhat) OC concept? It's a mystery that only God knows the answer to at this point.
          
          Right now, each chapters have reached above 2k words, which considerably longer compared to my usual stuff. But I couldn't find myself chopping these chapters up to fit my usual length because it would just ruin the story pacing, so I think I'll just keep it at this length.
          
          Honestly, I'm not sure when I'll finish this story, but let's just give myself an estimate so I'll be forced to write with a set goal and not slack off!
          
          Somewhere around mid-late May seems reasonable at my current pace. But we'll see, hopefully I can get it done much faster so I can work on my next Hololive fanfic. I'm really looking forward to start writing on my next work as well, you have no idea.
          
          That's all from me for this week, I'll see everyone again next week! Bye!

@NxOwlMxu more words means more things to read, so it's probably good, right?

NxOwlMxu

@ NotToYu  alright, you make it each chapter have more words which is nice! I will wait for the fanfic you make!

Probably a good idea to mention that I have an AO3 account that I've made around the same time I made an account here
          
          https://archiveofourown.org/users/NotToYu
          
          Anything that I post here will be posted there as well and vice versa, so feel free to just use whichever website you feel more comfortable with. I do post my weekly updates on Wattpad because I can't seem to find any way to make announcements on AO3. Just in case this account gets nuked or something, you know where I'll still be posting!

NotToYu

@NxOwlMxu yeah, when I was about to post my fanfic for the first time, I had no idea where to post it
            
            I saw Wattpad and AO3 on the search results so I just decided to post it on both lmao

@ NotToYu  Information has been received. That was nice idea though you make AO3 account
