Break-Day Again…

Posted on by

Like always, this is an early-warning notice that my break has finally arrived again lol.  Basically, after the 2 new chapters go up in 5-ish hours, there’s going to be a 48 hour period before the next posts happen.

Aside from that, I can’t really think of anything else to say, so I’ll just give a link to the Donations page and remind people that I’m currently writing chapter 194.

My writing speed has been kinda slow the past few days because I started reading “I Shall Seal the Heavens” and because of that, I fell behind on “Against the Gods.”  The new season of “Once Upon a Time” also started, plus “Peerless Martial God” has been updated like 15 times in the last few days.  Sadly, “Tales of Demons and Gods” dropped down to 1 chapter a day :(: It’s still one of my current favorites though lol.

I haven’t even gotten around to reading the last 2 chapters of “Doulou Dalu” and I’m really far behind on a lot of other xianxia/LNs that I normally keep up with… but that has more to do with writing than reading?

Anyway, a bunch of people suggested that I should read ISSTH and I’ve been putting it off forever because the first chapter was really boring.  However, it’s pretty similar to a lot of other xianxia in a bunch of ways.  I heard that the MC was different from the usual xianxia male lead archetype… He kinda was at first, maybe, but that only lasts for a few dozen chapters.

It isn’t bad, and I think it’s probably one of the better ones so far(I’ve only read until chapter 140-ish) However, there are just so~ many things that piss me off about it lol  They use the same exact formula as every other xianxia out there: The MC is super strong compared to other people at the same stage as him, but he’s ALWAYS getting into situations where he can’t even fight against the opponents, because they’re just way too overpowered.  Then there’s the whole thing where he needs to consume massive amounts of drugs to get stronger and it’s harder for him to ‘level-up’ and ‘rank-up’ because he’s basically an Elite lol.

If you want to know why Michael does want to be an Elite, just read ISSTH or any other Xianxia, since it’s always the same thing.  Seriously, why do those authors ALWAYS have to cripple their characters?  Is it so that they can show off constantly?  Maybe it’s just so that they can drag out the story for 3000 chapters and have the MC constantly in a position of weakness, where his friends and family can easily be murdered or raped, just to add in a bit of drama?  I also finally dropped Martial God Asura at like chapter 372, since it was just getting too annoying with all the rape.

Okay, I’m done ranting for now… Wow, I just wanted to promote a few stories and it turned into a list of everything I hate about xianxia lol.  Well, there’s also the fact that I can’t stand all the Sects, Clans, Empires and other corrupt, disgusting, and horrible political systems that are always prevalent in those kinds of stories.  I think that xianxia would be way better if the MC just went out into the wilderness, and didn’t interact with people, ever… but no, it’s always about people.  It’s always about petty arguments, turning into genocide and women are always treated like objects, while everyone is a slave in one way or another.  Every time a man besides the MC sees a beautiful woman, they try to rape her, and even the MC is usually a misogynistic bigot.

Okay, I need to stop now lol… The more I talk about xianxia, the more pissed off I get, yet I still read them roflmao!  Ugh, I can’t believe I just spent 30 minutes writing this…

A Message for New Writers

Okay, this isn’t exactly a rant, but more like an instructional guide… It’s actually just a single piece of advice lol.

I’ve seen countless amounts of fanfictions and original works that suffer from a fairly common illness: Unable to Understand Title Capitalization Disorder.

Now, I won’t claim to be some kinda magical grand wizard of title-making, though I have been at this for a while now.  However, I’ve seen title-errors so~ many times, that I finally decided to share this Legendary Quality writing tool: Titlecapitalization.com.

I don’t know about other people, but when I see a story which has spelling, grammatical, and capitalization errors in the title… I won’t read it lol.  Well, I don’t have time to go around reading copious amounts of stories on RRl and other such sites lately, cause of the whole “Hardcore OP-ness” thing, but I just randomly decided to make this post because… I can? 🙂

Anyway, chapter 153 and 154 will be released from the Arcane Prison in about 5 hours from when this is posted.  If you’re reading this a few hours from when I post it, then you might have to do a little math, but I’m basically just releasing them at the normal time.

Postponing Break Day

I’ve already said this in a comment, but since people usually don’t read those, I needed to make a post about it.  Basically, because of the whole “The Boss battle still hasn’t started yet?!” thing, I decided to push my break back a day.

In roughly eleven hours, both chapters are going to be posted pretty close together.  I might stop posting an hour apart, if the view-count increases because of this, if it decreases, then I might keep doing the hour apart thing.

The guy who was posting links to Hardcore OP-ness on Reddit stopped… so, if anyone wants to start doing that, I’d be grateful.  Anyway, as always, I’m gonna shamelessly advertise Donations.  I’m currently working on chapter 182, so the gap is starting to widen(For now.)

Of course, that gap is actually to reduce the pressure on me, so I can write more and faster.  Break Day is similar; I keep writing, but because I don’t have to post 2 chapters, it’s more like, instead of 14 chapters a week, I only ‘have to’ write 12.  Somewhere along the line, there are days where I can’t write 2 chapters, so it’s helpful to me.

Anyway, I’m about to go to sleep soon, so if you donate or pledge and don’t receive an immediate email or reply, then that’s the reason.  I should be awake again within 8 to 12 hours of unconsciousness(Whenever that may be) lol.

Break Day… Tomorrow?

The break was supposed to be tonight?  Probably, or tomorrow?  I don’t even know, and it doesn’t really matter anyway lol.  Let’s just say I’m pushing the break-day back a little to celebrate my site getting over 1 million views, yay~!

Basically, I’ll be posting the chapters ‘tonight’ or in 10/11 hours from now.  However, after that, the next 2 chapters won’t be coming out until 48 hours later?  This is just a heads up, and a bit of advertisement :P.  Keep in mind, that on these ‘breaks’ I usually keep writing, so my stash is growing steadily.  Of course, you have to remember that those chapters in my HCOP folder are unedited and may be subject to various changes.

Anyone who donates or pledges 10$ or more, will be able to access my Hardcore OP-ness Google-Drive folder.  Essentially, it means that you can read 20-30 chapters ahead of what’s currently posted.

For those of you who would rather become a patron, here’s a link to my Patreon site.  Keep in mind, I know if you’re on there or not, so don’t try to scam me.  If you pledge 10$ to get access, then remove the pledge before the month is up, then I obviously won’t keep sharing the folder with you.

I would also like to thank everyone who donated and pledged as well, though if you want me to put your name or how much you donated on the “Donations” page, you need to let me know.

Scheduling

Well, that illusory break seems to have vanished in an instant.  Anyway, considering that I actually wrote more during the break, than I normally do… Well, whatever, the point is that I’m going to start taking these fake-breaks once every week.

It’ll probably be Monday or Saturday?  I think it’s Monday today, but that doesn’t really matter.  It’s definitely the 14th, and since I like sevens, the next one should probably be on the 21st.

The reason is actually so that I can write faster, roflmao.  It didn’t really feel like a break, but oh well, I’m currently working on chapter 149.  Chapter 123 will be released in approximately 13 hours, and chapter 124 will come out an hour after that.

I would also like to thank all of my pledges and donors for their amazing support… though, I’m pretty sure I did that already in emails.  Still, I figured I might as well do it in this post, since I don’t really have anything else to talk about… Anyway, time to get back to writing, lol.

Taking a Break Tomorrow

As many of you have noticed, I’ve been working(Writing and Editing) every day for the past two months!  Before that, I was also writing nonstop at a terrifying pace, for at least a month… but even before that, I was constantly working on Immortal Soul.  Before that, I was working on Questing, and before that was Immortal Soul, lmfao.

However, when I was writing Immortal Soul and Questing, I had a lot more time and there wasn’t nearly as much pressure for me to release chapters consistently.  Anyway, I need a break, and by that, I mean that I’m gonna go a day without posting.

In six hours, I’m still going to release two chapters, but after that, it’ll be 48 hours before I post again.  This is just a heads up, so that people don’t ruin my break by constantly asking stupid questions like “When are you gonna post the next chapter?” or complain about how I went a day without posting lol.

Sigh, yes, I am sighing in reality at this moment, because while I say it’s a break… I’m still gonna be writing!  For fuck’s sake, it’s an illusory break!  The break doesn’t even exist for me!

Ugh, the alternative was cutting down the posts to 1 a day, but I don’t want that to become a habit lol.  Basically, what happened, was that I’ve been binge-reading lately, and it’s making me get all fucked up as far as the days are concerned.  So~, while it seems like 1 day for me, it actually turned into 2, and even though I wrote 2 chapters, I was starting to fall behind.

Thus, I need to have a post-less day, where I can focus on only writing, and not be under any pressure.  In a sense, it’s kind of like a break for me too, because I won’t have to edit or worry about answering people’s comments(Which takes more time than editing) rofl.

Maybe I should think about getting someone to help me moderate and deal with the site?  The incentive would be that they would read the chapters a little earlier than other people, since I schedule them ahead of when they’re released lol.  If anyone’s interested in something like that, let me know.

Also, for those of you who are supporting me on Patreon and paying me ten dollars a month to write… Well, there’s never a break for you, cause you can read at least ten or so days ahead of everyone else lol.  Although, there’s only 2 people doing that at the moment.

If you’d rather just of ten dollars or more, then you can still get that same treatment.  Remember, these are unedited chapters that may be subject to change lol.  If you have already made a donation of ten dollars or more, then let me know in a comment and I’ll send you an email.

If you’d rather judge me for giving preferential treatment to people who donate money… Then go ahead, because I’m too poor to afford a new goddamn computer, and when this one dies, I definitely won’t be able to keep writing roflmao.  If you’re getting me to post over a hundred chapters for free, the least you could do is not complain about the methods I need to use so that I can keep writing :P.

The new chapter comes out in about forty-five minutes.  This is basically me just copy/pasting my Donations page into the form of a post.  If you want to know why… Well, because not many people even read it?

I honestly don’t expect anything from this, because out of ten thousand people, there would probably only be a handful of amazing and super-awesome people who are willing to sacrifice their hard-earned money, in order to help me out.  It’s not as if no-one donates, cause there certainly have been a few, and even a single dollar would be incredibly generous from my perspective :).

I’ve kept donations anonymous, because unless the person writes “Mention that I donated on the donation page.” and gives me a name that they want me to call them, I’d feel awkward announcing their actual name lmfao.  Also, if you do the whole Patreon thing, then you set up your own profile, and there isn’t really much for me to do?

I’m not a translator, so I don’t have an infinite supply of other people’s work that I can consistently pump out. Thus, I can’t really ‘speed-up’ my writing depending on how much money people throw at me. Well, I could certainly try, but the quality would drop by a lot.

On the other hand, the list of things that I can’t afford to fix or replace is growing daily: ten year old computer that barely works, broken desk-chair, broken bed, broken ice-machine in my freezer, ect. Basically, I don’t expect to receive enough money from this to pay for any of those things.

However, I’ve had this blog for a while now, and I figured that since everyone else has one, I wanted a donation button as well. It may not be particularly glamorous, but at least it exists now.

For those of you would would rather become a patron, here’s a link to my Patreon site, where you can throw money at me and I might not die :).

This isn’t a chapter, obviously, cause those are coming out in about ten hours or so.

I added a new page, and since they don’t show up like posts do, I kinda need to ‘post’ about the page to let people know that it’s even there.

Essentially, it’s just a bunch of random information, and simple things that I may or may not have written about.  I believe that I did speak about everything that’s written on the page, but very vaguely.  Thus, I need to advertise it :).
