Starting with the simple one; the schedule for April is unchanged. Willing Victim on Mondays (via discord, which currently has up to chapter 16) and Unruly Summon Tuesday/Friday. I thought I'd timed Unruly Summon to finish the first volume at the end of March, but I seem to have slipped up somewhere, because I'm going to end up four chapters short.

The reason I wanted to finish volume one by the end of March is because I've entered it (along with Unborn Hero) into j-novel club's light novel contest, and the end of march is the end of the first round of judging. Nothing will change here, whether my entries pass or not, but once I'm out, I can start posted on royal road, and the end of volume 1 here seemed like a reasonable time to start. Although I'm considering a stint on KU first, like I did with fetch quest... I haven't decided yet. (On the off chance I 'win' against the other 462 entries, it won't ever be on royal road. And yes, the air quotes are deliberate; read the rules closely, and you'll find that there are no actual prizes, despite the $$$ headline. Mostly, I entered because the thought of a judge somewhere having to give serious thought to how to translate Unborn Hero to a manga was too funny to ignore. :D )

Finally, I've started writing another game. This time it's an Isekai-based idle game, on the theory that I have a greater chance of finishing it than Erryn's SUD. Not that 'greater chance' is a particularly high bar, so I've attached a demo build in case I never work on it again. If you kill the skeleton general, you've beaten the demo. Also, the demo isn't actually particularly idle, except perhaps farming the goblin king for his monster cores. And the intro slides are missing, with it jumping straight in game instead. If you want to see them, there's an earlier demo in discord, but they're basically just a short story about the goddess of reincarnation taking a nap, waking up to a demon lord, and throwing some trucks at some kids. Saving is automatic, and it can be 'completed' in a couple of hours.

Yup, it's j-novel club. They don't currently do western stuff, but they're about to start. The competition is to select their first batch. https://j-novel.club/jncolncontest Hence my comment about the 'prize'. The prize money is just an advance on royalties, just like you'd get when signing with any other publisher. If you win the competition but don't sign a contract, you don't get a penny of it.
