Year 03 was a wonderful delight to write. I ended up experimenting a few different ways and I was very glad with how much prose has improved. I'll try and work more and more on my prose, there are so many chapters where I wasn't concentrating on prose because I was tired. My health hasn't improved much but recently I have been working more and more on my health, I've begun trying to exercise more and fixing my diet, but that's something I won't see results with for a few months, so please cheer me on.

I say that, I woke up pretty sick today, so I probably won't be exercising much today...

However, enough of that. I wanted to inform everyone that if you enjoyed the story so far, the next year is better, in my opinion. I will try and pace things a little better so that each chapter doesn't feel the same, but I will inform you that Year 04 is a little awkward because it is still setting up stuff for the future, but there is plenty of fun to be had! We'll get to see some people in action we haven't really seen before, and perhaps... new locations? New crazy powerful characters? New, dare I say it, adorable little babbies?

I'm also changing the chapters of the next years so that everything comes out quicker. I'll be writing 100 chapters per year, and each chapter should average a little more from now on. If the book has a quicker pace, expect the chapters to be 1000, but so far, Year 04 is averaging...

Over 2200 words per chapter...

Oh dear. It's going to be quite a packed year it seems?

The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

Yes, that does mean that if you subscribe to Patreon you'll have access to about 30-40% of the next novel, and I have both a £5 and £10 tier, both of which give the same amount of chapters.

I will add that between certain arcs I will have some breaks. I'm planning on having breaks between every season or so in the world, so the 100 chapters come out over the course of roughly 4 months, meaning instead of the book taking roughly six to nine months, each one will come out every four months instead! Perhaps, if I end up posting up double chapters, they'll be coming out in 3 months instead!

Also for all those people who are waiting for the rest of the Goblins and Grandmas story, and the rest of He Who Refuses to Conquer the World (Again), I'll try and finish up those stories sometime in the next few months. I'm in the process of redrafting and rewriting He Who Refuses to Conquer the World (Again) to send out to a publisher so I can fund this story, which I want to keep as free as I possibly can, so I may not post it up in its completion.

However, enough of all my rambling. I want to say to all the people reading my novel, all the followers, all my patrons, thank you. I keep waking up and reading your comments and they motivate me to keep on writing. I want to write this novel to its completion, either upon the (complete) death of our long lived leaf ear cringe father, or perhaps, even further than that.

Truly, thank you for all your support. It makes a world of difference, and I hope that one day I can actually make a living off of this, and do so much more. I have so many plans for this world, things that transcend the writing world, into other types of media.

If you have any questions, go ahead and post them! If there are any spoilers, I'll spoiler my answers for those that don't want to know, but if it's a big spoiler, I might choose to vaguely allude to something instead. I'm always excited to answer comments, but sometimes I don't want to in the chapters just in case, but now that the book is over I'm happy to answer all kinds of questions.
