Happy Cantata Birthday! π
Today marks the one year anniversary of Cantataβs publication! Iβm traveling back home today, which will be a weird bit of time travel, so I guess I get to celebrate Cantataβs anniversary twice, lol.
Anyway, I have a surpriseβ¦ I actually finished Chapter 5 before my trip! Itβs done! π₯³π± I left it in the hands of my beta readers and Ko-Fi subscribers. If you want to read Chapter 5 now, follow the link to my Ko-Fi page and subscribe to be a Choral member.
50k words of new content, bringing the grand total to 185k words. Yes, it is now longer than Viatica. π«
One on one moments with most of the ROs; one RO is conspicuously absent for most of the chapter but I promise itβs worth it
More humorous moments; thereβs a lot to unpack in this chapter but I wanted it to be lighter than the last, so I strove for a balance
Opportunities for you to use your hobbies once more; they also show up in the Character Stats now
A mission and subsequent battle; I purposely made it brief and lighter than the last
Possible first kisses π depending on your RO
Updated the tonics and binder options so that they trigger for non-binary MCs, too
While I technically finished Chapter 5 by the anniversary like I wanted (whew!) I like to sit and chew on my chapters a bit before releasing them. Iβm going to review the comments from my beta readers, probably sprinkle in flavor text and flesh out some scenes.
Public release will be Friday, February 20!
Thank you all for following along with me and my writing. This journey has been fabulous and sometimes surreal, lol, and Iβve loved every minute. Letβs see what the next year brings! β€οΈ
