WhiteSamurai's official novel release schedule

I'll start with the hard release schedule. As to why it isn't daily anymore, that's after the schedule. Most people will be here for when a chapter's releasing anyways!

This is a release schedule for all WhiteSamurai original novels, not just ATR.

Sundays:

NH chapter release day [Between 1 - 2 chapters]

Mondays:

NH writing day [Hand writing, no online releases]

Tuesdays:

NH chapter release day [1 chapter maximum]

Wednesdays:

No releases or writing [Schedule limitations during academic semester]

Thursdays:

Ant Tensei Redux writing day [Hand writing, no online release]

Fridays:

NH Full chapter work day, both handwriting and online release [Between 1 - 2 releases]

Saturdays:

Ant Tensei Redux release date [1 Chapter maximum (In some cases, a chapter will NOT release due to the extreme priority on quality]

Now for the technical stuff for those curious as to why the schedule is how it is.

Well, I did announce that I would be having Nameless Hero go daily and Ant Tensei Redux going weekly, but due to my extremely intense schedule this semester, that simply is not going to fly. In the future semesters, i'm sure i'll be able to release more, but when i'm on campus from 8:00am to 8:35pm T-Th and 8:00am to 3:15pm M & F, there simply is not enough time during the week to spend writing these chapters.

Let me give you an average as to just how long each phase of the writing for each novel entails.

Let's start with the hand writing phase. This entails me taking a pencil, and writing out the entire chapter by hand into a notebook. Now there are two reasons for me doing this, the first being time and the fact that I can't always have my computer out. If there's a lax period during a lecture, I can whip out the notebook for 20 minutes and write. The second reason is that I 100% have to re-read the material word for word because i'll have to type it out onto the computer to release it. This allows me to remove and improve a great deal of the material that I grind out during the week into an actual chapter. If there's repetitive or dull material, I can fix it because i'm also reading it. If I don't do this, the quality WILL drop by several notches. I've already tested this and the reactions to that chapter were clearly showed that the quality drop was obvious, thus I will be continuing the handwriting policy.

If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

To handwrite a chapter generally requires between 2.5 to 4 hours to write the standard ~3,250 to 4,000 word chapters for Nameless Hero. For Ant Tensei redux, the time required to write a chapter shoots up exponentially up to between 12 to even 20 hours of hand writing to make the standard 10,000 to 35,000 word chapter releases. That is if a chapter doesn't get scrapped, and if that is the case, then the process takes twice as long. This is all for the sake of the quality of the release and will not be changed for faster releases no matter what.

This is a major time draw for why ATR is released on a weekly-biweekly basis and why there aren't daily releases of NH given my current schedule you saw above. That schedule of course not mentioning actual homework, but how much time I am ON campus alone as you can do the math yourselves.

Onto the typing process.

The typing process is where the handwritten material is converted into the release that you all will read. When i'm doing this, I have no choice other than to read the material myself word for word. This allows me to spot any flow errors or redundancies within the material and correct them. This basically is an extensive method for editing my material and is paramount for ensuring that the flow and character patterns are going according to their profile. No one likes repetitive paragraphs either.

In general, this process will normally take another 1.5 to 2.5 hours for NH and at times, between 4 to 6 hours for ATR.

Don't be mistaken by the fact that just because the releases are few that i'm not working on making them. In general, a Nameless Hero chapter may take up to 6 hours to produce and an ATR chapter could take 25-30 hours to produce. With my schedule included, please do bare with the limited chapter releases as there is only so much time I can afford to maintaining these two series while ensuring there is no quality drop on them.

I appreciate your continued support of my Web Novel releases,

Please continue to enjoy them as much as I enjoy writing and watching everyone enjoy them.
