Formerly Den B, but someone deleted my account (on RR) and my stories, because I forgot to practice operational security in my own home.

Hallo. 

Is there a regular release time for chapters?

Looking forward to the next chapters. 

Matuscarantos · Author · Jun 30, 2025

No, I mostly write in free moments at work or between tasks at home. So a set schedule isn't possible. Plus, this is my hobby.

Thank you for reading! clear.png

Is there any third chapter this week for ash ?

Good work by the way. 

Looking forward to future chapters and please don't drop this book.

I'm working on it. clear.png

Due to work and life issues, there will be delays between releases of both Ignite the Ashes and Waking Up Warpunk. Though I will keep trying to write as much as I can.

 I'll be putting Some Warpunk on Hiatus, until I can give it more concentrated time and attention.

I do not know how long this current batch of problems will continue, but I'll try to find ways to work on chapters as soon as possible.

That longrunning star wars gamer fic did the same mind control thing and got similar amounts of hate. Ive seen it with other stuff too. I think its just one of those writing conventions people cant handel

Matuscarantos · Author · Apr 14, 2025

I liked that story, and saw how that happened. I would argue there is a difference between a mind wipe especially a failed one and actual mind control. However, I also understand that some people don't care about that.

Anything that includes a perceived loss of agency is a problem. Slavery arcs also suffer from this. Even if they make sense.

Handwran · Apr 14, 2025

For future reference though, while its not a fic killer for me (as long as its not too long) ive noticed mc mind control stuff seems to be as widley hated as ntr, though less known as such, especially in op mc stuff. I think ots partly a psychological thing about using opmc stuff to escape then being brought out of the good vibes by the loss of agency and control. Theres probably a lot more to it for sure, but the only other writing convention iveseen get fanfics and webnovls as much hate as ntr

Matuscarantos · Author · Apr 14, 2025

Yup. I knew that, even if I didn't know quite how much. I had my reasons to do it anyway and take the hit. Despite how much people seem to hate it, it was a logical play. And I personally think the character and story both improved for it.

That said, I'm probably going to avoid that toolset in the future.

Matuscarantos · Author · Apr 14, 2025

If I plot it out... I got less hate for the mental wipe, than the inclusion of 40K elements. A lot more overall drops, more negative comment and so on happened over 40K. It's honestly why I decided to stop using random factors.

Handwran · Apr 13, 2025

Hey sorry to hear people are ragging on your work, I like your writing ^.^

Matuscarantos · Author · Apr 13, 2025

No worries, it happens. Though I did end up needing a break from Ryan, my other stories are doing fine.

I should be ready to return to Ryan's tale soon. So I hope to see you there.

Handwran · Apr 12, 2025

Hey I was gonna read your stuff, but a lot of reviews are talking about your writing just turning into misery porn, I was enjoying the warpunk one before it got revised into what people seem to hate that came back and read further than what I got. Like what happened man?

Matuscarantos · Author · Apr 12, 2025

Part 1 - Nothing happened, the person who wrote the 1 star review didn't actually understand what I was going for. When I talked to him about it, he insulted me, to the point I had to block him. I clearly warned everyone about everything he ended up complaining about on the front page and the notes of the first chapter. I promise it is not actually misery porn, and is picking up with the introduction of the Edgerunner characters. Especially David.

Matuscarantos · Author · Apr 12, 2025

Part 2 - The person who wrote the 3 star review really wanted a different slant on the story in the first place. He wanted more of the culture of the Night Elves and Protoss. He also didn't really mesh with Ryan. Which was understandable. He was pleasant to talk to, and is partially the reason I started the Alternate version of the story.

Matuscarantos · Author · Apr 12, 2025

Part 3 - The revisions changed almost nothing about the original content, they merely expand on or explain certain things better or cleaned up  lingering mistakes. If you liked it the first time around, it's still the same story.

The only thing that is actually 100% new is that I gave the Probes Warframes. I don't think that bothers anyone?
Handwran · Apr 12, 2025

Oh thank god I was honestly worried for a sec, I loved the original and have been waiting to reread the new version for chapters to build up and the read it all during my replay of cyberpunk im planning soon

..Matthew.. · Feb 23, 2025

Matuscarantos · Author · Feb 23, 2025

Yup. But now we'll see if I can make the story a little better. clear.png
