Anyway I got a few things for the people who actually care about these sorts of author's notes below but if you don't then at this point I've given you the announcement and you can go back to reading my stuff or whatever else you wanna do in your free time/work hours. Don't worry I won't tell ;)

So to start some of you may have noticed that there are little short stories in the comments for some of my chapters. I write them whenever I finish a chapter early for the day. Sometimes it's just because I don't have the energy to start another one but sometimes it's because I feel like that day isn't great for writing and ruining the carefully edited main story like that just seems very antithetical to the kind of semi-perfection I'm aiming for.

You'll find those short stories on most of the earlier chapters and even some of the newer ones, including little tidbits like poems, diary entries or other documents from times in the story relevant to the chapter. Some of them will be from different perspectives as well if you're interested in that. I don't plan to do too many of these, it's just something interesting you can search for if you have the time.

Moving on, I was wondering about Discord, Patreon or whatnot. I don't plan to set up the latter, yet, just because I don't think my writing is good enough right now to make a living from even if I could really do with actually getting paid for this stuff. The former however is something I'd consider if anyone was interested. I mean there are 200 or so readers now, which is a lot more than I had on Webnovel back when I started and a little less than the Youtube stuff I used to do with friends(Not the audiobooks but another channel that you will NEVER find.) I should say however that I won't be on discord much for the same reasons that I don't write that much. This stuff is literally all the time off I get in a day and when that's been limited to 30 minutes a day for the past few months you understand how bad stuff is right now. Like I literally write, eat and sleep along with normal life commitments not even including socializing so... ya'know.

Anyway, most of you know if you've read some of the comments that I appreciate every single one of you even as little as I say it, because the more times I do say it the less it actually means to me or you. So instead of just saying 'Oh yeah I appreciate you lot a bunch because I'm totally a nice author and stuff' I'm just gonna show you a document that I have marking a certain few things that I'm not sure anyone will figure out but proves that I am taking this stuff seriously.

Maybe I'm a little obsessive but hey, this is the age of yanderes right? Plus despite all the ways I say that I don't have time for writing I do genuinely enjoy it and the people who can enjoy it with me. It's like peering into the depths of my psyche and... wow I hope that's not scary actually because I sure wouldn't want to be in my head as another person. Eh, given the gore scary is probably what you're here for anyway. That or the kind of protagonist who actually has sense but that's actually harder to write than you'd think. It's really hard to get across 'willing to do anything and self obsessed' but not 'cartoonishly evil for the sake of it' or even the dreaded 'edgelord' title. *Shudders*.

Anyway I know I'm rambling and this is probably longer than some of my chapters by this point so I'll stop and just say that I plan to be a tad more active with edits now, though I'm still going to be editing rather than adding, as well as the fact that it probably won't last long. I will also try to answer a long list of comments that I have left unanswered in my absence because I've got a document for that too but it's like:
