This is an announcement post, with the proper chapter getting its own uploaded later today.
So a Patreon, huh? I figured that after almost two years of writing in RR, I might try it and see what many authors do with it on this site. The premise sounds simple and I've spent a few months figuring out new chapters and Patreon's stakes.
But I am launching it before or within the Christmas times anyway, so it might be a good timing or a terrible idea. I shall see what it will be like, but it won't change anything else for those not going to Patreon.
For the time being, Patreon will have 30 extensive and RR-ready chapters for release, which amounts to roughly 180k words for those who want it. I tend to write longer chapters even though they aren't very common for this site, but it works for some authors, while some have success in less than 2k words per chapter. I tend to go higher than 5k most of the time. Not above 8k though. Usually...
What does it mean other than a new way to read my work ahead of schedule? As of now, these 30 chapters are coincidently depicting the end of Book 3, which ends in Chapter 171. I've decided to cut the Demonic Temple Arc in half because I didn't want to have 600k long book, or 700k. Not sure how long it's going to be, but the chapters are clear, but not the words. Book 3 is twice as big as Books 1 and 2 though.
Book 4 will be starting on Patreon this week, starting with a Prelude called~ Heist of Lady Vermillion, and the first chapter of Book 4.
With 30 chapters in Patreon, they are edited and looked through twice to the best of my ability, so they tend to be the same overall quality as the latest releases you are reading in RR. No proper editor is in sight, unfortunately, so it is not different from the RR experience.
This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.
----------------------------------------
1,600,000 words and counting, this is a small step in this writing journey of mine. So if you like Reincarnated as a Duck and Murai's journey throughout his ducking life, consider this as the biggest support with a decent ability to read ahead.
Thanks to anyone who will subscribe, support my work, or even read it. I hope it will be worth it for those who want it.
----------------------------------------
Next, what about the journey ahead with this idea? I want to use Patreon to put proper covers on all of the books, starting with the first that I am funding myself around the beginning of the next year. I am currently looking through some artists, but it is something I've neglected because of the Patreon build-up. The next course would be some proper editor, but that seems like a chapter in its own book.
Patreon plans aren't something big. That might change, or it won't.
Any patron is an utmost chad in my book, so if any of you have suggestions, I am all ears.
----------------------------------------
The new year is coming to its End, so I hope you will have a wonderful time in the remaining time of 2023, and 2024 will be even better.
Plans for next year on my side won't change much.
2 chapters a week for Reincarnated as a Duck sounds like the perfect amount for me and my full-time job.
Emblem Apocalypse shall return from the cursed hiatus in a better and new form around February next year.
Mortal's Fate is.... dead. [I have no time to look at that world that I cherish even more than others. Fuck! I even read through Craddle in 2023 and it is right at my alley to continue Mortal's Fate!! Why I can't double my hands or head!? UGH!]
Anyho, 2024 will be interesting. Book 4 of Reincranted as a Duck will be released fully even with these 2 chapters a week, while Book 5 should be an enormous start to a new long part later in the year. I considered it a new part, but that will come at a later day.

That is all for my side, so thanks for reading this or my work, Wandering Joe
