Sorry about the lack of a chapter this week, depression is being overly nasty. Instead, I'll share some other good stories (with fluffy tails) that I recommend.
AuthorSME's A Tail's Misfortune is IMO one of the best stories I've read, and contains huge amounts of fluffy tails later on, with multiple types of fox spirits. Also, their other stories are damn good too, even if I don't like them as much personally.
I Was Betrayed then Reincarnated as a Kitsune is a relatively light-hearted story about an OP kitsune and her friends.
The Reincarnation of Alysara has its own race of fox-people, and an interesting system of skills, I highly recommend checking it out if you are into gamelit/litrpg/whatever they call it now. I'm way behind on it, but found it very good.
Blue Core is one of my favorites - the main character is a dungeon core, but one of the most important secondary characters is a lovely foxgirl. Includes a fair bit of nsfw/smut, but it isn't the main focus.
Dissonant has an interesting take on magic, and naturally, it has fluffy tail, though only sometimes.
Kammi Kettu I don't recall much about, save that it was really good. GB foxgirl with superpowers, good stuff. Weaves in and out with the story Songbird as well, so it is best to read both of them.
There are also tons more good ones if you check my profile's reading lists -- I have multiple lists devoted to foxxos.
Sorry again about the lack of a chapter, hopefully I can have one ready next week.
Fox girls rule!
Take your time. My wife suffers from Nega-Brain. Finding a sounding board (me) seems to help a little for her.
But take what measures you need to fight the Nega-Brain. Its lies are only transparent from the outside, but it can be fought.
We'll be here when you come back.
Fox girls are love, fox girls are life! Kinda annoyed Niphru insisted on being male when I wanted him to be female. But yeah, ever so slight addiction to foxgirls here, have several thousand pics saved on my comp, tons of stories, constantly thinking of them. Only heretics wouldn't love them!
And thank you for your understanding, self-destructive brains do indeed suck. I find it quite easy to spot the false information it produces, but that doesn't make it any easier, in my experience. If anything, I find that it is worse due to knowing it isn't accurate.
@Vodith if you want a Fox Girl, just have Dawn and Niphru fuse into a super magic form!! So basically just Fox Girl Dawn.
@Bobple that doesn't fit how things work in the story, unfortunately. On the other hand, kitsune are well known as being shapeshifters that also shift gender as it suits them, so that will happen eventually. But Niphru is still very weak due to being so young.
Hope it improves and take all the time you need.
(thanks for the recommendation)
Thank you, I hope it improves too. And you are welcome for the recommendations, I figured I should at least try to provide some entertainment even if I couldn't do so directly.
Take your time, depression sucks. Thank you for the update :3
Thanks for being understanding, as an avid reader myself, I know it can be frustrating having to wait sometimes. Hoping it eases up a bit soon, I really want to get back to sharing the world in my head so others can enjoy it.
look, I like your story and I want to see where it goes, but your mental health comes first. <3
Thanks for the kind words. Hopefully I can get back to writing soon, as it makes me feel better, due to being able to accomplish something, and especially because you folks enjoy it. People enjoying something you make is a pretty potent counter to the depression claiming you are worthless, after all. Just sucks when you can't be productive and thus can't make more.
Thanks for sticking around, I very much appreciate everyone who reads my writing. You all are a big part of why I can manage to keep writing even as little as I do right now.
