"Dude, I think I miss working as the Dispatcher..."
It wasn't supposed to be like this.
One minute, I was behind a desk, pushing papers. Next, I was thrown into chaos. I used to only read about it in incident reports. Somewhere along the way, I stop...
Hey everyone, first and foremost, I need to address something very important. Please remember that I am a human being with a life outside of writing. I write out of passion, because I genuinely love creating stories and sharing them with you all. However, I cannot and will not tolerate threats, harassment, or private messages pressuring me to release a new chapter. You know who you are, and I want to be clear that this behaviour is completely unacceptable.
I've seen many authors leave their communities because the pressure from readers became overwhelming. It's heartbreaking to watch someone give up something they love because they're afraid of backlash or criticism. I do not want to reach a point where my own passion turns into stress, anxiety, or dread. Writing should be a source of joy, not fear.
Now, consider whether this were a young or inexperienced author facing the same pressure. Imagine the stress, fear, and even trauma they might feel when strangers online demand more content, sometimes in threatening or disrespectful ways. This is why I ask all of you to practice kindness, patience, and respect. It's not difficult, and honestly, it should be common sense. Every interaction matters, and how we communicate can either encourage creativity or stifle it.
Thank you for understanding and respecting these boundaries.
2. Updated Posting Schedule
To give myself more time to create content that I'm proud of and to avoid burnout, I will now post every Monday (GMT+8). This adjustment enables me to focus on producing higher-quality chapters, while also allowing me time to conduct voting polls, engage with you in fun activities, and make our community a more interactive and enjoyable space.
I hope this schedule will enhance both the reading experience and my ability to maintain a consistent and engaging story.
3. Discord Server
The Discord server I manage is intended for users 18 and older, primarily because we have one NSFW (Not Safe for Work) channel. Please ensure that you respect this age requirement and community guidelines to maintain a safe and enjoyable environment for all participants.

4. Support via Ko-fi
I've set up a Ko-fi account, and if you enjoy the story and would like to support it, even a small contribution would mean a great deal. Every little bit helps me dedicate more time and energy to creating content for you all. It's a simple way to say thank you, and it helps me stay motivated to keep the story going.
