Hey everyone! It's been a long time and a lot of work, but I finally have a new update for you to read! Let's get straight to the point.
What's new?
First: There's a fully finished day 5 for Aelfric and Balto, and every job has it's own scenario as well. The total update is about 30k words in length, bringing the novel's total over 100,000 words! It's been a long time coming, and I'm sorry it took me basically six months to get a new update out. The next one should be faster because I only have to update the Trax and Drellis routes for day 5 without any extra job fluff, and then I'll be able to start on Day 6!
Second: The first finalized sprite is finished! Meet Aelfric, the big bard wolf himself.

Thanks to RetroHurricane (@retrohurricane.bsky.social) for working with me on this. Go give him a follow when you get a chance! He's a cool guy.

Lastly, I've been mulling over the idea of opening a patreon for this project as a way to get more funds to commission Retro for Sprites and potentially others for backgrounds. My biggest worries for that are update frequency and my general lack of art for the project right now, but with enough interest, I'd gladly make one. Even without that, I still have a Ko-Fi that you can donate to in order to support the project.

Thank you to everyone who's read the VN so far! As previously stated, it's a labor of love, and I can't wait to bring more of the story to you all over the next year! I'm hoping to do more consistent updates now that I'm on meds for ADHD and actually have executive function again. If you find any bugs or spelling errors, you can report them here. For continued updates on progress (and lots of nsfw art reposting) you can follow me @mellowlionremus.bsky.social where I post about my progress (or lackthereof) and other fun stuff.

Until next time!
