So, people who are in the discord will already be somewhat aware but over the past few weeks there have been some issues going on in my personal life. While it has all since been resolved, I’m finding that I don’t have the motivation to write. I know what to write, and in general how to go about doing that but when I sit down to actually execute, I lose the motivation after ~200 words.
This all culminated on Saturday when I missed a chapter release for Demon Queen. Since I started writing in mid-November, I have not missed a scheduled release, and have written in excess of 350,000 words. After some consideration, I believe that I’ve finally started to reach a point where I’m burning out. Combined with the stress from the personal life drama, the issue is being exacerbated.
After much consideration, I’ve decided to take a short break before things get so bad I want to quit. Both Tricked Into A NewLife, God Must Be Screwing With Me! And I Hate RPGs, So I Guess I’ll Become The Queen Of Demons are going to go on a two-week break; The first week is for me to completely step away and just not have it in my head, and the second week is to rebuild a bit of backlog.
This is a good time for Tricked to take a break, since Volume Three just ended, but I do feel bad for Demon Queen, since I’m leaving it on a bit of a cliffhanger; I’ll release the missed chapter of Demon Queen sometime in the next week, but further chapters for either story won’t resume until Friday, March 18th.

Frankly I’m astonished that wasn’t already the plan. Your rate of output is frankly terrifying. Good luck and look after yourself and your loved ones.
Agreed, dude is a writing machine.
Take all the time you need! If you feel like you need a longer break please do so!
Having written an online novel of about 360k words I do understand how this is, there were weeks were I disappointed my readers by not releasing a chapter (I aimed for one a week - chapters about 12k words) - but in the end the dedicated readers stayed and as I wrote when I was motivated my output was much better than forcing it. What I am trying to say is that you take whatever time you need to feel “in the mood”, I am sure your readers like myself will wait, this story is good enough that I’ve binge read it to get here, and pretty much loving every chapter - good things are worth waiting for.
This notice is old, I have already returned and released three more chapters.
I should probably edit in a notice that the announcement is out of date...
Cheers!
Hope everything goes well in your personal life. Just remember, we'll be here when you're feeling better.
its ok, we all have moments like this
dude take as long as you need if you burn out it means these is no more of this but we are reading this because we like it so take as much time as you need
actually every time I start reading this story I always fall asleep they call me to work or I can't because of xyz I'm starting to think if it's an isekai portal with a non-attention magic or something but one day I'll definitely make it I swear to her San truck life so that they don't sue him anymore for running over right and left to improve you to tell you if it was worth it or not yes 😉
