I personally like transformation stories. That a change happens that the MC can't simply ignore.
Nonetheless, I really wish for the character to still behave like a normal person. If not I ask myself what even is the point of the MC being a former human if they for example just act like any other demon.

Also, I have a preferation for female MCs.
Maybe I just got tired of all those harem protagonists. But even if they're not like this, I find that the stuff that happens has less impact. It's somewhat expected from a male character to fight and survive. I find the emotional turmoil of a girl far more relatable.

What I really dislike is when the girl big plastered on a cover is not the supposed MC but the pale guy in the background of the right corner.

I understand you.You don't have to rush to release the next chapter. However, promise us readers that you will not overwork yourself beyond your strenght. There is nothing worse than artistic burnout.

You write really great stories (and believe me I am a very demanding reader).

What about Eldricht?

expentio · Author · Jul 16, 2023

I'm seriously working on new chapters and even finished one for the backlog this week. But I fear I'll have to put another of the stories on hiatus (Arachne is currently most likely) to continue Eldritch unimpeded. At the moment I drive myself hard from an average of 3 chapters a week to around 3,5 chapters, to write a bit on Eldritch, but this is really hard to maintain for me.

expentio · Author · Jul 16, 2023

Sadly I can't release till I have a comfortable backlog again so I can correct possible inconsistencies before release.

mautes · Jul 16, 2023

i wanted to ask if you could make bigger Formicea chapter ? your arachne is bigger and i love both , but Formicea is so short -.- ......   thx ^^

expentio · Author · Jul 16, 2023

Ehm, unfortunately, I need to confess that this is only a temporary situation. I try not to get below a minimum average of 1500 words. Aside from this, it depends on the flow of the chapter how long it gets. If you compare the average word count on Formicea and Arachne you will even find that Formicea is even higher on average with 2100 words per chapter to 1900.

mautes · Jul 17, 2023

oh caus i love the story ^^ its a shame that chapters are short and the wait is so long ^^

expentio · Author · Jun 25, 2023

Hello, don't forget, today's chapter of Arachne will appear behind Chapter 18.

expentio · Author · Jun 18, 2023

For anyone following Arachne, I need to confess something. I forgot/overlooked releasing the original chapter 19. So next week I will put it behind Chapter 18 in double-chapter size as a special episode. There'll also be a note in today's chapter.

expentio · Author · May 28, 2023

I really want to take the time now and thank Saril for all the help with editing the chapters. It's thanks to their help they have the current quality! So, with this: Many thanks!

hanck95 · May 28, 2023

well, i hope you have a good rest clear.png

Just want to say that I'm a fan of Elderitch and that I literally binged what was available in 2 days. Surprised that it got so many laughs out of me and I'm loving the cast dynamic.

Might be wrong, but I'm kinda sensing a love triangle forming between Iori and her closest two friends (though, she probably doesn't think that possible).

As to the hiatus, not sure whats up but take all the time ya need. We all need a break time to time!

expentio · Author · May 10, 2023

Thank you very much. The hiatus is essentially really just a break. I couldn't keep up with pushing out chapters for 4 stories a week and had to make concessions somewhere, but I absolutely plan on continuing.

Piisfun · Apr 28, 2023

My mind:
Hey, I haven't seen today's chapter... Oh. Right. Hiatus.

expentio · Author · Apr 28, 2023

Sorry. Had also a moment today when I was sad I couldn't release, but also a tiny bit relieved that I didn't have to.

expentio · Author · Apr 9, 2023

I plan to release Arachne on RoyalRoad as well. Though, only one chapter daily at first.

expentio · Author · Apr 8, 2023

Just so I know, what would you like me to concentrate on? (Slime Girl and Formicea are safe)

Eldritch, Arachne, or one of the not-published ones: Lich (that one I'm thinking more often about lately), Fairy, Dryad, Siren, living Bug Swarm.

Love all your stories(Slime girl being my favorite). Regarding unpublished stories I remeber you saying what Fairy one is in the same universe as Formicea, Arachne and Slime girl, also remember you mention Sirens being there as well. So I would love to see more of the stories in that world for better worldbuilding.

expentio · Author · Apr 10, 2023

In that regard, the lich might contribute the most to slime girl.

Shirokuma · Apr 13, 2023

> living Bug Swarm

this sounds really interesting and unique

oordinary · Apr 14, 2023

I think my favourite will still be Eldritch

expentio · Author · Apr 8, 2023

As mentioned before, I only have two more chapters of Eldritch I can release due to being out of chapters. The next closest to exhaust the backlog would be Arachne.

I'm somewhat challenged to write 3 chapters a week (it works, but sometimes I only get 2 done), so reserves are declining.

expentio · Author · Apr 8, 2023

Yeah, I like them all, but usually I add to my backlog by writing what I feel like. So there comes a discrepancy in how much there is.

hanck95 · Apr 8, 2023

Yes, but I just wanted to point out that even a lot of work is trying to stay active by writing so many different stories. You can have priority in which you want them to be "main", in the others you can leave it with a lower update frequency.

For example, when you released Arachne, being the "newest" one and having the other ones longer, I thought that it would be like one chapter every two weeks or one chapter per month.

Pupparo · Apr 8, 2023

You could maybe have an alternating 1 month hiatus on your works.

It could be like; January, Eldritch on hold, February, Slime Girl on hold, March, Formicea on hold, April, Arachne on hold, and then looping back to Eldritch on hold for May.

It won't completely stave off the inevitability of running out of chapters, in one story or the other. But it will slow it down.

expentio · Author · Apr 8, 2023

Interesting proposal. Though, I don't think that will work. I write quite irregularly on the different stories. At the moment, I'm into writing Formicea, while Slime Girl has quite a good number of chapters in reserve. Don't really feel like holding them back.

expentio · Author · Mar 3, 2023

I'm sad to say that I've got quite some stuff coming up for me. While I still try to keep it up, I'm afraid I can't write enough and won't be able to release more than 7-8 more chapters on Eldritch before I have to go on a temporary hiatus.

Octocat · Mar 3, 2023

Thanks for the info. I'll have to get my weekly dosis of Eldritch madness from somewhere else then. I heard there is something called  "outside world". I'll try that one while you hopefully get your upcoming stuff done nicely and we all can meet again to experience the horrors of non-euclidean shapes clear.png

expentio · Author · Mar 3, 2023

Uh, well, it's the job I just started. Might be for a while longer a thing. I guess 4 stories at once are just too much to maintain.

expentio · Author · Jan 21, 2023

I need to admit, today's chapter of slime girl bit off a big chunk of its predecessor and the following one, becoming a bit of an oversized monstrosity on their cost. Well, nothing to do about it.

Sizano · Jan 5, 2023

A general question now that I have started Formicea as well as Arachne. 
I know they are in the same universe as Slime Girl, how are they related to each other in the sense of time and space? I presume they are at least taking place on the same continent at least looking at the similar culture. Are they happening at the same time or in vastly different periods?

expentio · Author · Jan 5, 2023

Roughly the same time. Not sure if it already came, but there's a line in Slime Girl that Koreso is currently at war.

expentio · Author · Jan 5, 2023

From the country descriptions, you can tell about the location. Rakis is east of Koreso, Koreso is three times Rakis' size (You got a map of Rakis in chapter 14). Tarsona as a competitor is at least big enough to keep up with Koreso.

The Evergrove is south of Koreso and Rakis. One of the first things you hear in Arachne is that they're in the west of a huge forest famous for its monsters (which one might that be?)

Sizano · Jan 5, 2023

Good to know. Yeah, it was definitly mentioned but I didn't really memorize the names of the countries while readingclear.png It and geography didn't really come up often enough. Tho I definitly remembered Rakis as a name. I'm smart like that.clear.png

expentio · Author · Jan 1, 2023

Was really unsure if I should add the translation for Formicea speech in the new chapter. Now I did it in a spoiler tag. You can decide for yourself if you want to.
