From Feb 3rd to the 7th, I'm doing a free book promotion for book one of my series, The Corruption of Coye! Claim it during this period and its yours to keep forever! Volume 6 is dropping in somewhere between 4-6 weeks and I have multiple spinoffs set in the same universe in development, so now's a great time to jump into my big interconnected fantasy world before it keeps getting bigger and bigger!


Claim here!


It centers around Coye, a naive, oblivious, and at first innocent half-elf adventurer who doesn't got a lot going on for himself beyond being cute. Things change drastically after meeting a mischievous Pixie one day after a routine quest, and he ends up with a partner unlike any other. After having sex with Shayla, Coye's body starts going through rapid changes and he needs to seek out continual stimulation in order to carry on with his life. The series essentially answers the often asked question- what if Link was a cute, big-dicked femboy with rapidly decreasing shame and Navi was his secret wingman telepathically helping him pick up chicks? There's a lot more to it than that, though. It's about Coye's coming of age as he grows out of his awkward shell, becomes stronger, and discovers what he wants to get out of life. He might start off shy and awkward, but you won't believe the kind of man he'll become.

It's my birthday! Or at least tomorrow is, I'm just posting this a little in advance because timezones are wonky and I'm also an attention whore. I'm 29 on Dec 20th, and that's a thing, I guess. Not crazy thrilled by the march of time but things have been going well lately enough that I can ignore its ravages. The Corruption of Coye Volume 5 will be out next week- I'm almost done. Honestly expecting to be done by 21st/22nd and then Amazon makes me wait 3 days to adjust the preorder, so it might literally release on Christmas Eve/Day. Funny how that worked out. It's the biggest volume yet (hoping this trend doesn't continue) but I did manage to put it out in record time despite that. Idk how many pages Amazon will say it is, but it's gonna be somewhere over 160k words. I'm very excited for it, it's undoubtedly my best work yet! Lot of lewd, lot of action, chock full of character development and tons of emotional payoffs.


This has been a really good month for me in terms of acquiring new readers, solely because of how much art I've been getting and using as promotional material across my socials and on various subreddits. If anyone wants to do anything for me for Birthday/Christmas, then reading my series if you haven't already would obviously be the best place to start, but if not, then funding to help me to get more art of my characters is definitely the way to go. But hey, I'm grateful even if you don't do anything special. It means a lot to have as many followers and friends as I do, even if it feels like I'm always in a scramble to get more.


Thanks for sticking with me, and as always, there is more lewd on the way.

Check in with the audience time, this time, birthday edition. Yes, as of December 20th I have officially turned 28. Usually, I’m inexplicably depressed each year around this time but this year doesn’t feel that bad in comparison. No one has to, obviously, but if anyone wants to send birthday cheer my way then Patreon or a small donation would go a long way.


Things have been slower with my short story than I’d have liked but that’s just down to me misjudging winter’s effect on my mood. It’s currently sitting at around 15k words. It should still be done within two weeks if I had to give a guess, probably less but I don’t want to give an estimate if I can’t back it up.


I don’t have all that much to say this time around update-wise beyond that, just that I’m working on lots of stuff, including art for characters.


I’m still planning on returning to the main story sometime next month if all goes to plan.


I haven’t been rushing myself on that note because I sort of hit a realization that in just under one year I wrote like 700,000 words for Rise of the Guild Master. That’s like, six entire fucking books worth and it’s not even counting bonus chapters, outlines, lore, and behind-the-scenes planning. Therefore, if winter is making me feel like ass, then I shouldn’t feel under pressure to constantly work on big things that demand my full attention.


But I don’t want to rest on my laurels for much longer.

It's been a very long time since I've asked for any sort of charity or help from anyone, but I'm very stressed over the state of things right now. My Discord hack was taken care of and I got all that money back, but in general I still have way too much on my plate to deal with. I have to make two rent payments this month, one for first month house payment and last month's rent payment, like $400 each, and I'm probably going to owe like $500 in taxes. Obviously I'm not expecting anyone to donate that much, but I figured I'd ask if anyone would put a tiny bit in towards my financial woes.


If you're so inclined, help out here.

My birthday is on the 20th and I know a couple of people tend to get me like fanart or stuff, so I wanted to give an official notice. I don't publicly ask stuff like this much but I got a fair amount of fanart 2 years ago when I let everyone know, but I felt bad about it last year and didn't let anyone know it was coming up and I didn't get much cause of that lmao. So yeah.


While I will appreciate art of ANY of my chars, including MHFAP! of course, I do want Guild Master art more than anything this year as you might expect since it's my main focus right now. I created this handy gallery of all character refs so far for anyone to use, https://imgur.com/a/vivwRhx


My only restrictions are same as any fanart or commissioned art in that I don't want the girls in a gangbang with lots of dicks or males that aren't the Guild Master.


Alternatively a way that would help if anyone wants to get me a piece of art but doesn't know who to get it from, you could send some money to my assistant and I'll use it as credit for art I want him to make lol. If you do it this method at least leave a note saying 'for Kom' or something or tell me how much you sent him. https://www.paypal.me/AljuneART


If you do end up doing something then thank you ahead of time, obviously there's no pressure I just wanted to give people a warning. This has been an awful year for everyone so don't do anything if you can't afford to, look after yourself and your family first.

Read it now! 33 Chapters out with even more on the way!


After talking with lots of friends, including experienced content creators who know more about this than I do, I was reaffirmed in my decision to make RotGM public while balancing it with more Amazon exclusive short stories (the first of which I'm already writing. it's a monster girl. I don't suddenly like MGs less just because I'm working on this).


Currently, all of the story is available on Webnovel. I'm looking into posting it also at Royal Road and Literotica, but if anyone knows any other sites that are good for posting erotica, let me know. Before you suggest it, Wattpad won't work. No outright porn allowed.


In the future I will sell collected editions of RotGM which will rewrite scenes when I'm a better writer and will add even more lewd things that sadly don't make the cut. For instance in chapter 25 there's a mentioned thigh job, and in the for sale edition that'll be fully written out scene instead of covered in just a few sentences. Similarly at the end of chapter 33 during the first threesome of the series, Sam gets a round that's briskly covered in a single paragraph. I'll expand shit like that among other things


Kind of like how actual transitions from webnovels to lightnovels go, they use the WN version to gain feedback and convey the main plot and gain experience before refining it for sale.


Now if you want to help me out on Webnovel there's a few things you can do.


1. You'll need an account, obviously, so if you wanna help me out a LOT you'll have to make one lol.


2. Rate it 5 stars!


3. Add RotGM to your library, aka favorite it. Obviously that helps lol.


4. Webnovel has a weird comment system. Whether you're on the app or the desktop site you can click on any paragraph and comment on it, react to things, etc. Please go ahead and flood the chapters with comments if you'd like to lol, it would help metrics a ton and encourage other people to comment. I believe you can choose to comment on the chapter itself, too.


5. Now that it's free and public, please share it with all your friends you think would like it! Anyone who likes comedy, erotica, jrpg-esque fantasy, isekai (it's not one but adjacent to that genre), progression fantasy, konosuba (a main inspiration), action, adventure, dungeons and dragons, all that kinda stuff, will definitely love what I have in store.


Lastly, the chapters are split up differently from the book releases. Most chapters were cut into 2-3 different ones because Webnovel likes short chapters. Most of them are unedited, but if you read the free preview of chapter 1 then you should reread it. I did change a lot of the phrasing and flow ot it because at the start I was still figuring out how the Guild Master talked/narrated, and I have a much better handle on him now.


Also the second main heroine, Zutiria Syndaline, finally debuts in chapter 26 so I'm going to be posting her refs soon as well as dumping a lot of art we've had made for her! Look forward to that!


Posted by PunishedKom - November 13th, 2020


So my writing career has been going pretty well, all things considered. I’m making decent money for having just started out and I’m more motivated than ever to keep writing and keep making amazing new characters and stories, not just for Rise of the Guild Master, but as a whole for my new fantasy setting it takes place in.


There is a nagging concern thus far, though.


I went with the amazon store structure because it favors short stories that are fast and easy to write. You can make a lot of money when you have hundreds of books out and you get lots of royalties. But after starting Rise of the Guild Master, I’ve kind of fallen off this format without meaning to.


Now I’m writing novellas with multiple chapters and mixing of sex, comedy, action, adventure, drama and slice of life Progression Fantasy all at once. This is far from what you’re supposed to be doing on kindle to succeed lol.


Kindle rewards authors who can pump out 1-2 short stories every week, and the more bloated your catalogue becomes the more money you can build up as more and more people discover you and read your massive backlog or buy your collected editions.


Part of me wants to publish Rise of the Guild Master publicly on places like Literotica and Webnovel to address a few problems.


Rise of the Guild Master is something new from me. I’m primarily known as an artist with a great sense of humor, but not many of my fans are likely to just jump onto a new property of mine in a medium I’m not known for if there’s a paywall. MHFAP! Never got far enough to show off my more serious writing chops and while we’ll get there someday, it’ll be a long time until that happens.


So I’m thinking that I need more public examples of my work, and since Rise of the Guild Master has evolved past the format for that’s typically successful on the Amazon e-book store I think it might be better to use it as an ongoing example of my writing skills, and I’ll still be able to profit from it. I can link my Patreon where I post it, and can start to build a name for myself not just as an artist but a writer.


Also as a side note I’m still drawing stuff lol. Just this week I designed the next two main characters of Rise of the Guild Master, and boy were they challenging. But it’s spoilery so I can’t post it. I’m an artist AND a writer. I can’t separate the two.


Another main thing about switching Rise of the Guild Master to public is that I can then start doing things chapter by chapter and not worrying about binding them to a book and such. This would allow me to start doing like, a Rise of the Guild Master chapter today, a short story I can sell on Amazon the day after, and so on. Versus, ok I need to do 5 more chapters of Rise of the Guild Master and then I can do a short story... but ah I just left off on a big cliffhanger and I really wanna start the next book...!!


So not only would Rise of the Guild Master be a promotional tool, if public it would allow me to get back on track with my original plan of creating a huge backlog of short stories on Amazon. Plus it opens up more possibilities, as if there’s a growing readership for Rise of the Guild Master then if I wanted to make a side story chapter about Sam and Master, there would be more people willing to buy it.


I’d have to de-list the first two books from Amazon because of their whole Kindle Select exclusivity shit, so if I want to post it elsewhere it’d need to be deleted. But I was already planning on eventually selling collected editions with rewrites, corrections and extended and added scenes so this would probably make it a lot less confusing for when that does happen.


If I do end up doing this I’d offer refunds to the people who bought the first two books if they wanted it. I’m sure most people wouldn’t though as most of the people who have read it thus far are in my inner circle but I don’t want to punish my fans for me rushing into things and not thinking about the best avenue for this venture. It’s a recurring habit of mine and I can only apologize for it.


Also I’m really sick of explaining to people you don’t need a Kindle to read it. It’s an app. lol.


I’m asking for your feedback, folks, I don’t know if I’m going to do this yet but I think I’ve made a pretty compelling argument for why this makes sense logistically. But please let me know your thoughts!

Hey everyone, I wasn't sure if Amazon would let me post public previews of the books but I decided to make chapters one and two of The 'Secret' Tomboy Princess available to read publicly as a teaser! I'll probably include one random chapter from each book as a preview, but for the lead in I wanted to do the first two.

Chapter 1, My Inherited Legacy of Shittiness


Chapter 2, The Stupidest Princess

Hey guys, my content has taken a weird shift right now for some of you and I’ve been putting off making a big statement like this about it for a while now. Just mainly cause I’m afraid of reception, or that some people will think I’m giving up when it’s really far from that.


Before we get any further in this I want to say very blankly that as bleak as this sounds I’m not quitting MHFAP!, I’m taking a new path to get to a point where I can work on it and anything else I want to without fear ever again.


I’m not burnt out on MHFAP!, I’m burnt out on failure. In a year where the world has literally entered the dark ages, I couldn’t just keep grinding like the last three years saying this is the year I’ll finally start making real big money from MHFAP!. I’m not mentally the same as I was mid to late last year. I don’t think any of us are.


My drawing output has slowed down, I can’t bring myself to care enough to do commissions even when they’re related to MHFAP!, and I still owe a number of patient people a number of things. I’m still drawing, and I still like drawing, it’s not about that.


I’ve tried for years to live off of ‘insert money, receive art’ but no matter how much I try to make it work my mind is not built to primarily function off of commissions no matter how much control I have over them. Square peg, round hole. You get the idea.


I never made much profit on anything I’ve tried to do with MHFAP!. I’m terrified of high prices on OCs since it’s just a huge waste if I end up not liking the char and never wanting to use them, as I get better and better at art new char designs just get more and more detailed, I make the ref sheets bigger and more full of writing and lore, and it’s just so much shit for so little. I love so many of the characters I’ve made for people, and I’ve done so many amazing things with them but the whole process just hurts so much these days.


The main thing I’ve always chased is a passive income. That’s what I’m doing now. I don’t want to take your money and do a thing for you. I want to put a thing out and you give me money for it.


I’ve tried that over the years with multiple things. There were two image packs, one very recent. They both failed and took a gigantic chunk of money and time. For the halloween one I wasn’t even charging my friends to draw their chars for it, instead they’d only have to pay the fee for my assistant to lineart and color the pictures. I thought 28 images with 70 total versions was a good price for $20 but I already took pre orders from friends and didn’t want to lower the price. Part of the halloween one’s failure is on me. I’m so mentally tired and defeated right now that I was in/am not in no state to promote it. I naively kept telling myself while working on it that it’d be cool if 100 fans out of my combined 7100 followers across all my social media bought it. That would have been amazing, but instead it’s been like 15 lol. Not even remotely worth the insane time I put into it, or the lack of profits I took during September to justify making it.


I tried to sell Merch twice, the second time much nicer looking than the shitty teespring stuff, but I launched like the exact second the Pandemic was starting to get serious in the US so no one was spending money and I had just spent a few weeks of prep getting products ready. I don’t even think I’ve made $50 from Merch lol.


I tried to sell MHFAP! Audios, before I started doing them as a hobby. That also took a lot of time and money. There were 3 before the Fapcast, and they all failed. I started making them again purely because I enjoy the format and writing them and working with the girls to make my characters come to life, but yeah, the pandemic made that something I had to close down real fast. I was hoping that producing a lot of them and getting podcast sponsors and ads on them would be viable long term, but they are insanely expensive to make even with me being personal friends with a lot of the VAs and with them giving me deals. And even with me not paying for them, they still take too much time to make.


A recurring thing with my business model that’s bad is I wanted to incentivize people to want to get more content with their MHFAP! OCs and since I relied on the brand exposure I would often do things for a smaller cut. Like the recent Harem Life comics I tried. I was desperate to just... WRITE things, and do things with my characters that I love so much. But each strip took like 30-40 minutes of set up, and although Aljune, my assistant, was drawing each and every one of them I still had to edit them very much. And I wasn’t making any profit from them at all, I was just having the $20 sent straight to Aljune.


And that’s not healthy. I shouldn’t be so desperate to play with my toys that I have to beg others to help fund them when I am literally not making any profit from them, just in the hopes that someone will see it and like it enough to give me money to do what I want.


Arena was launched at a rough time and while I got some decent success from it, it died down and the workload became a lot harder and overbearing than I thought.


In a perfect world I would have only drawn the comic for the last 3 years and none of the side projects. In a perfect world I would have had the money to do that, which is why I had to constantly pause, start, pause, stop, the main comic. I haven’t had any income in like 3 months to be honest, what little I have gotten was quickly spent on bills and food and the occasional video game to distract me from the rest of the world right now.


My motivation to draw right now is very low. It takes a long time, even if I’m fast, I’m not always happy with the result, and I feel like I never have time to practice. Now that I do have time to practice, comically, I don’t have the energy to.


Part of the reason I’ve put off this journal so long is because I’m afraid if I say ‘hey guys I don’t feel like drawing, and I have no idea when I will feel like doing MHFAP! Content again’ then people will just assume I’m giving up and take their Patreon money away in droves. Which I could not live with.


The only thing I’ve gotten myself to do consistently is write, and yes it started off as MHFAP! Short stories but those are just not creatively fulfilling enough. They’re filler episodes. I can’t ever advance the main plot and it just feels like I’m piling up more and more of a jenga tower these days.


So I started a new project, Rise of the Guild Master, and working on it has made me happier than I’ve been in months. I’m still not really making that much money but hey. It’s something. I’m not leaking money or making things at a dramatically reduced cost for brand awareness, my friend is funding all the Aljune pics because he likes Rise of the Guild Master so much. So I have to do very little other than guide and train/collab with Aljune on the pic to improve his art, which I’m already still doing, and I get free marketing material.


The whole thing with selling ebooks is that erotica is the most successful genre of books on the kindle store, which is the biggest market for ebooks in the world. And I can even earn royalties from the kindle select program. There are people out there who have like 300 short stories available and they make several thousands of dollars a month from royalties passively and without barely having to promote their work just because the kindle economy is so good to adult fiction. And I want that. I want a passive income like that so much that it hurts just thinking about it.


I don’t know what I’m doing with the Patreon yet. I still want to make MHFAP! But it’s probably going to be a very long time before that happens. I don’t know what kind of rewards or exclusive content I can offer right now or in the future. I don’t want to convert it to a Patreon for my writing because I know most everyone there is in it for MHFAP! And not for me. I have a brand, it’s not a tip jar.


I imagine I’ll start to feel more like drawing as things go on again but I don’t know if it’ll be tons of MHFAP! Stuff right off the bat. This has been the most confusing time of my life, this year, and it’s made me question a lot. Made me really start to think about what I’ll do when I get old. I can’t do real jobs, I’m on disability for a reason. Can’t do commissions when I’m 80 and my bones hurt. Can’t save money now when I’ve been operating at a net loss for 3 straight years.


I really wish I was able to turn my brain off and accept comms even if they didn’t interest me. If I kept doing furry comms then by now I’d probably be making several hundred a piece. But I couldn’t do that any longer back then, just like I can’t do this any longer right now. I’m still a square peg and the hole is still round.


I didn’t write this long ass blog as an attempt to ask for charity, but on the off chance you read through it and feel like helping then the main thing I’d like is if you went and read Rise of the Guild Master. Shameless plug, I know, but it’s genuinely the result of me having the most fun I’ve had probably this whole year- and I’m already making huge progress towards writing more.


Then there’s Patreon, which again, please don’t abandon me on lol.


And lastly you could just donate. I wasn’t lying when I said I haven’t made any real money in like 3 months because of all this so idk.


This was fairly hard to write so I’m proooobably going to ghost for a bit and not respond to any comments for a while.
