Soul Shard Captor - Chapter 204

This author needs to eat. Which means that if I am to continue writing SSC – seriously writing, with new chapters nearly every day – it needs to put my bread on the table.

Unfortunately, relying on occasional donations of a few very kindhearted and generous people is not cutting it and my publisher keeps asking when I’m going to start putting my chapters “behind a paywall”.

Thus, in hopes of a better future, from the next chapter onwards, every chapter will be locked and will need free passes/coins to unlock.

In the future, some of the previously free chapters might also get locked. So if you want to reread SSC, or have friends that are not up to speed with the current release of SSC, now is the time to read it.

Another change that will occur due to the switch to premium, besides the obvious is that I won’t be able to leave author notes. Since SSC is published here not through Inkstone, but through my publisher (whose integration with Webnovel is lacking), I can’t leave author notes in the author notes section. I can technically include the notes as part of the chapter text, but since the chapter pricing is calculated based on word count, you’d end up paying for author notes, which I don’t want. Thus, I will only be able to leave an author note at the bottom of the chapter if it is very short and wouldn’t increase the price of the chapter. Otherwise, if it is a longer author note, I’ll leave it as a comment on that chapter. If you see it, please upvote it so that it reaches the top of the comments section.

If you are coming to read SSC here from other platforms, keep in mind that due to the previously mentioned poor integration between Webnovel and my publisher, I also won’t be receiving notifications of new comments on my novel, so if I don’t respond to your comment it is very likely I didn’t see it. I generally only check comments on the recent chapters.

Lastly, if you are one of my supporters with a high enough donation (6$ or 7,000 Ink), you will be able to continue reading SSC on my site (lucypandora.com) in the future without having to unlock anything. You’ll also be able to read extras unavailable anywhere else. If you are not a supporter yet, psst, you might not need to pay to gain the mentioned benefits because there are also free ways to get your hands on it. Even if you aren’t interested in the juicy extras, you might want to consider becoming a supporter, because gaining access to locked chapters like this is significantly cheaper than if you paid for them with coins.

If you guys are unsure whether the experience of reading SSC on my site would be satisfactory, just head out there and see for yourself. I uploaded several free chapters on there too, so you check out the reading and commenting experience. (Yep, the reason why chapters had been slow for a while now is precisely because I’ve been working on my site and preparing for the switch to premium.)
