Hi guys!

I messed up my Patreon account this month because of some adjustments that I did so there is no charge for you this month and a whole month of struggling (as usual) for me. But anyways, I still want to sincerely thank you for your support and hopes that you still keep on supporting our story.

Many things are happening to me right now but I decided to not share them to you to preserve my dignity as a man and as a writer.

But please know that I am doing my best to be a better suthor and a story teller as best and as fast as I can. I really want to do this as a way of living so that I can prove to other people that even if I have a weak body and a disappointing life as a background, I can still writer my name in a banner and wave it proudly high in the sky.

Again, thank you so much for your support.

You guys are my pillars and my inspiration. To know that you guys are there and is enjoying the story i my greatest reward.... next to cash. HEHEHE

I'm not a hypocrite so I will admit it. Hahahaha...

Anyways, just wanna say that you guys are really awesome.

Treat this month as it's on me.

But seriously, I'm really thinking of ways to improve your reading pleasure but I just can't seem to finish it up.

I also want to update you guys with regards to Pilot: Online

Apparently, I asked an online friend over at Bandai Philippines if I can use the "Gundam" name to my sci-fi story and ask money through Patreon for it and I was advised of a big "NO"

Why?

Because "Gundam" is a licensed trademark name and is a franchise worth Millions of Dollars and so to use it "to earn cash" without their approval is actually a form of plagiarism and is seriously a huge crime. As such, I will have to edit the whole thing to make it look original, change some major plot element, events, and even references to the Universal-Era to avoid these issues creating backlash.

Furthermore, I also have to change and edit some chapters that had clear borderline-less references to the Gundam Franchise.

So that it about Pilot: Online......

In regards to Mortal King

I was already 100 chapters (112 to be exact) on it when I tried to send it to an online friend I met at a forum page on FB (Wuxia Readers Group, if you know it) for a simple opinion about it.

I was very proud of it because it was an original story I created after months of planning while at work, inspired by a few stories I've read (and currently reading) regarding on the character development, world development, and story pacing....

Yes, WAS.

Because that friend, who can be considered a wise Sage, sent me this reply:

"Dude, are you sure this is your original story? It felt like I'm reading a FanFiction spinoff fusion of [An***** Stre******* Techn***], [Wo****** of Cul*******], and [Sword of the Imm***** E******]."

It really hurt me a lot because I haven't seen nor heard nor read these three stories before but he said my original Mortal King was their fusion FanFiction.

It hurt me a lot and so to prove it's not a FF-Fusion of other stories, I read the three stories this past 15 days and to my utter disappointment, they do look like my Mortal King title.

This blow really hurt me a lot........

I've been writing the story for three months and planned it since March this year but to think it was............................. sigh...

In the end, I have to redo and change a lot of things in it.

Yes, it may not be a problem for some readers, but my pride won't allow it. There are readers in WP accusing me of copying a work who was obviously written later and posted at the same time as mine of copying the work. And I am furious and is angry that many readers of my Siva Title even sent me personal messages just to tell me I actually copied it. My life experiences was written as part of Volume 1 until Volume 5 and they told me I copied it? Just because they've read it only until the prologue of Siva Volume 1, they'd say that it was a copy cat. I won't be a hypocrite and say that it doesn't hurt me because I wrote this story and planned it development phases for years.... and it hurts to be accused of these false claims. That's why even if I wasted three months of writing 100 chapters of Mortal King who I am proud of, I will redo it from the bottom. The Mortal King and Pilot: Online stories will be postponed this year and perhaps it may even be posted on the latter half of next year until I am satisfied and is strong enough to stand on the fact that they are my original stories and I NEVER copy works of others.... and most especially, I never do FanFictions of another title. Guys, I will promise you, some day, my name will echo throughout the search results keywords of Google and the titles I write will become a standard and a pillar of the genre I am writing in. I am an original works writer and my work is my pride.
