Assistaloon again. This is the usual reminder that all of book 12 will be removed from all sites on May 6th - 7th, time zone depending.
Shirtaloon is still recovering, but is out of the ICU for now.
Due to feedback, I will be updating patreon with Public posts. There will be at least one Public post updating when chapters will resume before any new content is released, which will no...
2025-05-02 00:30:39 +0000 UTC View PostIt is Assistaloon again.
Shirtaloon is still in the ICU, but doctors tell him that he is starting to recover. At this point chapters are unlikely before June.
The release of Book 12 will be unaffected.
The well wishes of his patreons has been wonderful in this trying time, and we wish to thank you all.

TLDR
Shirtaloon is in hospital.
No set date for updates to resume.
In case the lack of snappy title did not clue you in, this is Assistaloon.
Shirtaloon is still in hospital, which was not going well at times. He is currently starting to recover, and we hope he continues to do so. It is not known at this time when he wil...
2025-04-20 09:11:47 +0000 UTC View PostI've fallen sick, unfortunately. Not sure what it is yet, but my charter boat docks today and I've been instructed to go to the hospital instead of the airport by the Royal Flying Doctor Service.
I'm currently feeling extremely crappy. At this stage, I don't know if this will extend the hiatus. Assuming I don't shit out my guts and die, I'll keep you updated. If I do, Assistaloon will k...

Her Onslaught essence informed not just her power set but her inclinations in life, but life had been strange for her for a long time. She hadn’t seen her daughter in years. Or, more precisely, Cassandra hadn’t seen her. Thalia watched from the shadowy side of a tall tree as Cassandra and her team walked across the Adventure Society campus i...
2025-03-21 22:00:26 +0000 UTC View PostJason, Emi and Nik were floating in meditation, cross-legged, over the water of the River Furan. They were upstream from Saint-Étienne, beyond the reach of Jason’s domain. He had found that when contemplating his essences, trying to expand his power, it was best to be outside the places his power was strongest.
Nik was now gold rank, while Emi remained in the upper reaches of silver. S...
2025-03-19 22:00:11 +0000 UTC View PostJason floated over the water of the River Faron, meditating on his progress towards diamond rank. He had not been human for a quarter of a century, yet he had always clung to his humanity. It had been a close thing, a couple of times, but he’d always managed to hold on. Power, destiny, and no few of his own choices seemed determined to make him something more than human, already rendering him...

My very strong advice is to avoid using the app. Just use a browser.
The Patreon app has always been famously terrible, most notably by making chapters mysteriously vanish, which is the single most frequent technical issue I have been asked about...

As a reminder, I'll be off cavorting with other litRPG authors next week, and no chapters will be released.
Here is the the cover for the next book, by the way.

2025-02-03 22:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostJason found himself at a loose end. Bussinger was now with Carlos, at the beginning of what would be years of research. Jason’s political advisors were working with the factions of Earth, digging out just how dirty the Network branches farming reality cores were. Zara’s Storm Kingdom people were searching the North Sea for the submarine lab, and the vampire queen hopefully hiding in it.

The lighting was non-magical fluorescent. Narrow, vertical slots were set at various points around the walls, running floor to ceiling. The only other permanent feature was the single door, the room lacking windows, decorations or furniture.

The two buildings loomed over the cities they sat within, incongruous with their surroundings. Administrative centres for the clan, they also served as portal hubs, connecting to each other and the astral spaces they contained. The upper floors of the building contained office space and other amenities required by ...

“I hope you’re right,” Jason told her. “I intend to round up everyone who was a part of this and make sure they never do it again. The more of them that come to me, the more time I save.”
“Do you think that you can fight the whole world?”
“Yes. I’m hop...
