Sorry about this. Wrote a big old Rain spiel, but around lunch time, i looked it over and was like, "I hate this."
Doin things a different way to keep the 6k word monologue from putting people to sleep, but its proving more difficult than expected. With Rain's ramblings, I can just from point to point with ease because his thought process naturally leads him there, but with other characters in the mix, I gotta like... make it more logical and natural. Anywho, Im gonna keep writing, and I hope to have it out tomorrow, but I g...

So as most have probably noticed, I'm back. 603 was posted just now, but I wanted to make a separate posts for a few reasons. First off, for 3rd grade warrant officers, you won't get a new release (chapter 603) until 602 goes live on july 14th, which means you gotta wait a little longer. Such are the trials and tribulations of a staggered release, so err... Surviveeeeeeee.

Author Note: so like... I decided to try and finagle things so that the order to withdraw isnt given away in prev chapter. To make it more surprising? Instead, imma hint at it with hongji before the reveal. Let me know if i missed any overt references to a withdrawal before the order is given.

Good news is my consultation went well, despite me spending a long ass time waiting. Everything is set for my wisdom tooth removal and those suckers are coming out.

Yes. Thats the bad news. I gotta go on break now, because I gotta go shopping today to stock up on soft food, and then have a big fancy dinner before 8:30 pm, cuz my surgery is set for tomorrow morning. No idea how long Ill be out for, but its as terrible as the last time around, itll be two weeks. So tentativ...

Ran outta time, gotta go walk dog and have dinner with parents. I'll have it done by tomorrow evening, though this probably means another wed-fri release week again. Sorry for leaving y'all on this cliff, but the new 599 cliff is less steep than before (i think), so there's that.
See you all tomorrow.

I didnt do much proofreading, and only added ~1k words or so, so its not a huge change. Most changes are in the later half, including a different ending which might say more, but i thought it changed enough for another post.
Imma work on editing 596 now, and Ill be having dinner with my parents for the first time in months tomorrow, so 600 may be late. Will still do my best to have 3 chapters out before I go on break the 19th, though Im still not 100% sure I will go on one. Dentists are working again, so I might just get my bot...

So Path of Exile announced a new league today, which starts June 19.
At this current point in time and space, I am thinking I'm probably gonna maybe play it. Yes, that was a lot of qualifiers, but it doesn't look like the most fun league mechanic, and I kinda wanna keep writing, but I also kinda feel like I'm in dire need of a break.

Only 4.2k words atm, way too short to be released as is. I'll try to finished before bed, but I doubt I will, so expect it sometime tomorrow afternoon.
Serious talk though, I'm really sorry about the recent rash of late chapters. I've been doing longer chapters, which were really only possible cuz Covid19 and social isolation made me spend more time writing, but even someone as anti-social as myself is starting to come apart at the seams. I find myself either slacking more, sleeping more, or just being less efficient. Dunno ...
