June 8th Katalepsis chapter will be delayed by one week.
Hello everyone! Um, unexpected patreon post here!
This week’s Katalepsis chapter — the patron and public releases — will be delayed by one week. Katalepsis will resume as normal on the 15th of June!
My apologies, especially for doing this so late in the week. I never like to cancel or delay chapters, so I try to avoid this as much as I can. I’ll get straight to the point: I’m really unwell. It’s nothing life-threatening or even dangerous or new, it’s just a long-term problem that I’m struggling to manage. This week has been unexpectedly rough; by the time I realised things were getting bad, I’d already invested double the normal amount of time writing the Necroepilogos chapter — not because I was prioritising it over Katalepsis, but simply because it was already somewhat complete. I managed to power through and finish that, and draft this week’s Katalepsis chapter too, but it’s an incoherent mess and needs a very clear head to edit, and probably double or triple the usual amount of time. I don’t want to rush to put out a sub-standard chapter, not in this state, and especially not during this final arc of Book One, with so many things being revealed and resolved and explored. I feel like it would be very disappointing for the readers if I messed up something so important at this stage.
So, I’m not publishing like normal on Saturday. I will still be working — though I’m going to take a day or two to step back and do a slow edit of the mess I’ve made. I’m also going to make some changes behind the scenes to try to avoid something like this happening again, as best I can.
Thank you for all your support and understanding, I really could not do this without all of you, you’re the ones who make this possible. To the few patrons who joined very recently, I realise this might be a bit surprising or disappointing; this doesn’t happen often, and I’ll do my best to avoid it in the future.
Anyway! Katalepsis will be back to normal next week! I’ll do my best in the meantime. Thank you all.

Take as much time as you need! Your wellbeing is the most important thing! Get well!❤️
Thank you! I'm already feeling much better and getting back to normal after a few days of taking things slow. I'll make sure to take proper care of myself!
Ah jeez, please take any and all time needed - dealing with a chronic illness/issue is always so demoralizing when it flares.
Thank you for the kind words! And yes, I'll make sure to take better care of myself and focus on recovering for now. Flare ups like this are rough, but I'll be okay!
Take as much time as u need! Feel better
Thank you very much! I'm sure I'll be much better soon, I'll take good care, thank you.
i'm glad you're prioritizing your health!
Thank you, that's very kind! It's difficult sometimes, but I know it's important. I don't want to get burnt out, after all, that wouldn't help anybody!
Hoping the best for you and I hope you get good rest this weekend!
I'll try my best, thank you very much! I'll take good care, as best I can.
Seconding everyone else urging you to rest up and focus on yourself. We'll be here when you feel better 💜
Thank you! I'll rest up, slow down a bit, and take good care. I'm certain I'll be back to normal soon enough. That's very kind of you!
Take care of yourself HY! Not getting Katalepsis sucks, but your health is much more important than feeding our crippling addiction to eldritch lesbian romance. ❤️
Thank you! Haha, my own addition to creating eldritch lesbian romance is half the problem, I hate having to pause my output or slow down! But I know it's important to avoid burnout. I'll do my best and take care!
<3 Sending u thoughts of ibuprofen or paracetamol (if those are helpful, pls discard otherwise)
Thank you! Those are both helpful and useful, indeed! I really appreciate it.
