Happy New Year, friend. Thanks for always providing your feedback on the story, I am always happy to read how you are enjoying the current chapter and more.

Hello friend. BS7 will begin shortly after SK3 is completed--sometime this month, January 2025. Unsure if I am going to try writing it in tandem with SK4 or not. Now that I have finished moving and have a low cost of living, I don't have as much need to feed the Amazon beast, I don't think. I can be a bit slower on releases, and would prefer to be more productive in word count.

Most certainly take the time you need for quality work, I realize we read a lot faster than someone can write, and lord knows KU doesn't need another Virgil Knightley. But you kind of need to publish regularly. Before long your reader base is 8 books deep in another series, after reading 10 other series and can't remember who your characters are. I really enjoy the series but can't remember who is who at this point. Nothing wrong with 350 page books vs 700.

Haha, skb2 will continue tomorrow. Sorry for the delay! Will finally have ~10 chapters ahead on patreon for it.

Actually the cover art for the paperback books and the kindle unlimited versions of all the books are different. Any reason why?

I had originally made the Amazon covers with the anime style on the books, up to Book 4 before I created the new style which was more like a higher-budget anime style. Many people bought the original paperbacks, and so I continued up to Book 5 with the same style without switching them to the new one -- I hated the idea that someone would get a bookshelf with books that didn't match! 

After Book 5 though, I think I will in fact switch them out for the new style, as I think that's a good place to cut them off. Odds are, I will eventually make some kind of boxset for 1-5 with the new art, and in the future, 5-10. We'll see!

haha, I got SK2 and BS6 in the works on patreon. Once I have enough of each for their benefits, I'll be posting alternating on SH (Approx 5 chapters of each). At 3 chapters/week, that'll be in about 2 weeks here. Small break. I'll be posting preorder for B1 soon for amazon.

Exciting to hear and looking forward to it. Enjoy your break.

Hello?

Lol, hadn't seen this. 

It's a term Royalroad usually uses. But it just means to remove most of the chapters off of the platform, for release on Amazon -- often times, this means that the first few chapters are kept as a sort of teaser, along with a link to Amazon for the rest of the book. 

Amazon kindle unlimited requires exclusivity. I am shooting for a 3/12-3/14 release date or so, so I will need to remove the chapters from here aside from the last ~10% or so.

For Bonded Summoner 5, I chose to leave the last few chapters up, since I hadn't given much time for folks to read them after release. I also enabled readers to pick up the RR/Scribblehub version in my discord. For those that keep themselves up to date, this matters very little - as they will have already read the book for free. Like you!

Thanks man! Happy new year to you too. 

Haha, thanks, Merry Christmas to you too.

I should be able to provide you with the rr/scribblehub version if you come there, my friend.

Although that might be hard since book 1 isn’t on this site anymore. 

Haha, thanks for picking it up. There are a number of differences, even early on (You should have seen pretty drastic differences even in chapter 1! Prologue was hardly changed, though). But the bonuses are clear. If you come to my discord I can give you the old royalroad/scribblehub version on pdf for you to compare if you like. The discord link is on the series page.

Thank you for the feedback! I hadn't gotten any comments on the story, so I wasn't sure how well it was being received. I will give an opportunity on Friday for people to get an extra chapter, if people give some feedback. I posted the story on here mainly for feedback on it, though also to see the popularity. I have the entirety of book 1, 110,000 words and 37 chapters completed, and 6000 words into book 2 written now.

well not sure how other view stuff but probably 30-40% of ppl here only stars stories up if they have 20-30++ chapters cuz sometimes even 100+ chapters stories goes hiatus sadly which is not many but yea happens once there is more chapters ppl gonna pick it up so dont worry about it and thank you again

Hi there. I know the story starts quite slow, but are you enjoying it so far?
