Note: Skip to the TL;DR at the end of the non-chapter in case you don't wish to sit through roughly 1000 words of me begging and/or enticing you to basically give me your money. (Normies call it a donation. I call it ransom. In truth, it's just me begging you for your money and you shitting on me for being so daring and ludicrous. Shit, I hope this wasn't a bad idea. Don't hate me. I'm greedy. ╯︿╰)

Dear Readers,
Hey! It's me. Sorry, this isn't a story chapter. But it's something very important to me, so I hope you'll take some time to read it.
I've been working on this novel "When I woke up, I was in an Eroge world!" for about 2 months now. And in return, I've never really asked for much, other than your support and some stones. Never really thought it was worth getting anything in return for, honestly.
But you guys, the kind and supporting readers, have given me some confidence in my work. That it's worth something. That it's somewhat enjoyable. Thank you!
Writing for so long has made me realize that it's not an easy task. And you need the motivation to keep going and create more content. Possibly, the content that your readers (even if some of them) enjoy reading. Thankfully, many of you seem to enjoy my humble writing and the inept storytelling I've given you so far.
I know more than anyone that the story isn't perfect (it's far from it) and I don't have the most creative and original ideas. Heck, the entire plot of this novel was cop—Ahem! I mean, "inspired" from another… which was also inspired from yet another… Okay, basically, it's nothing original.
Also, a lot of you dislike my MC and/or his immature behavior and/or his actions and choices and I do understand that he's not the most likable character with his stupidity, perversion, and other flaws. I hope to "fix" some of them and mature him in due time. But it'll take a while, like any other thing. But you guys still read it… coz you guys are freaking awesome and generous enough to look past it.
Anyway, leaving that aside, I hope you have parts that you DO like and enjoy reading. Coz that's probably what's keeping you here still…
Sigh, okay. I'll keep babbling and going round and round, like always. So, I'll give it to you straight.
Phew. Okay. So… (*drumrolls*)
(*fails*)
(*awkward silence*)

…
I have created a P@treon account, at long last!
Woo!

(*More Awkward Silence*)
Uhh, okay, so. What I mean to say is… I've been really putting in the effort to write this story and I don't really get much (financially) from it. I do get your kind comments and reviews, which is pretty nice. But, I'll love to get something more… you know… the green(or whatever color it is in your country) printed paper thingy which you give to some suckers who happily take that otherwise useless colorful printed paper and give you real more useful goods in return.
In short, I need MONEE dayumit!
I don't know WHEN this story will get contracted, if ever. So, rather than waiting for it to get contracted in a year or whatever, I've decided to be bold and brazen and try to earn something, in the form of donations on the P A T R E O N. (I know Webnovel doesn't like the word, so I'll have to keep it censored.)
So, yeah. If you feel that my story so far (and its future potential) has any worth, please consider supporting me there. It'll mean the world to me.
Now, I'm not making this story pay to read or anything. That's gonna happen much later when I actually get a Webnovel contract. As such, I don't plan on moving this story on P@treon either. You'll be reading it for free here as you've been doing till now. The schedule is still the same old. I'll try to keep it daily, but sometimes I can't finish or write a chapter. So, yeah, you know the deal by now I'm sure.
You'll not get more chapters or faster releases if you donate, sadly. Trust me, I would love to do that. But I write on the go and (try to) upload daily. As such, I have no extra stock of chapters.
Still, I won't make you pay for something you can just read for free (unless you're fine with it just being a donation to simply motivate or cheer me, which I'll deeply appreciate of course.) and so, I've uploaded a humble first work of mine. It's just a generic Isekai story written in Japanese Light Novel format. I have like 200+K words worth of content in the story, but I never published it anywhere coz I didn't think it was worth anyone's time.
I know it makes no sense to offer something so worthless in return for your precious money, but know that you'll be donating mainly for motivating me to keep me working on THIS story. And you can of course send me messages there with critiques, suggestions, and requests and it won't be lost like it does here with dozens of comments. I'll try to see if I can give you guys what you want. But, of course, No Promises. (feat. Demi Lovato)
Anyway, enough writing. I'm probably boring you to hell with this lame stuff.
So, here is it:–
https://www.p@treon.com/poz (replace '@' with 'a')
Or just search POZ on P@treon's Creator search. (It's the letter 'O' for Orange. Not the number '0'.)
I have the same profile pic and background as I do here, to make it easy to identify me.
There, you'll find 3 tiers of membership, each with its meager benefits that I could offer. It ranges from a mere $1(the minimum they allowed me to set) to an outrageous $10! (I know! I'm too greedy! I don't deserve it! But I'll still try…) You can support me if you buy any of the memberships. It'll mean the world to me, so please do consider supporting it.
I'll try to make it worth your time, but I really don't have a whole lot to offer. I hope you'll consider it still.
Thank you.
Yours Truly,
POZ

TL;DR: I created a P@treon account. Please support me, if you can. Thank you. https://www.p@treon.com/poz

P.S: Man, why couldn't I just write that TL;DR and be done with it? It's short, crisp, and gets the point across. But no, I had to write a lame-ass long freaking letter-cum-essay to get my point across! Sigh. It's just how my brain works. Older readers know how much I love blabbering.
Your support will mean the world to me! :D
