Hello, dear readers!
I have returned!
First and foremost, I want to offer my sincerest apologies for the sudden and indefinite hiatus I announced back in July. Depression took its toll. A lot has changed since then, and I'm thrilled to say that I am now in a position to pick up this project again with renewed energy and motivation!
Your comments and messages during my absence were a huge part of why I decided to come back. Knowing that there was still an audience eagerly waiting for this story was incredibly heartening. Thank you for your patience and for sticking around.
Here's the plan going forward:
1. WebNovel Schedule:
The story will resume its regular publishing schedule immediately. I will be releasing two chapters per day right here on WebNovel until we are fully caught up to the current translation point.
2. Patreon is RE-OPENED!
To make this project sustainable and avoid another burnout, I am re-opening my Patreon. This will allow me to dedicate proper time to translations.
Patreon Benefits: Patrons will get access to all translated chapters ahead of the public release on WebNovel. The number of advance chapters available will grow as we move forward.
A Very Important Request for Patrons: To ensure smooth transactions and that Patreon gets their full share, I kindly request that all pledges be made directly through the Patreon website. Please avoid using Apple Pay for subscriptions, as it creates complications with fees and access. Using the website directly is the simplest and most reliable method. Your support means the world, and I want to make sure you get what you pay for without any issues!
3. For the Precious Donors:
To those of you who were supporting me before the hiatus—thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your faith in me was not forgotten. If you choose to re-join, please know your support is valued more than ever. Please follow the payment method above to ensure everything works correctly.
This return wouldn't be possible without this community. I'm excited to dive back into the world of Konoha with all of you. Let's get this story back on track!
The next chapter will be posted shortly.
Warmest regards,
ClayChampion
