Hey everyone 👋
Author here.
I wanted to take a moment to properly talk about something instead of just mentioning it in the author's notes where half of you probably skip it (yeah, I see you 😭).
I recently released a new fanfic called My Ordinary Youth During a Certain Apocalypse.
It's still pretty new, so not many people know about it yet. The idea is actually something I've had high hopes for:
What if the main character reincarnates into a slice-of-life mashup world… and then a zombie apocalypse suddenly breaks out?
Slice of life × chaos × survival.
When I started translating the first 30 chapters (which are already on WebNovel), I realized the original author did a solid job. The structure is clean, the characters are consistent, and the story flows well — which makes my job way easier compared to some other projects.
Now, don't get me wrong. The current fanfic you're reading has a great concept and a lot of strong moments — that's exactly why so many people love it. But sometimes the chapters were messy: repeated scenes, endings copied into the next chapter, character inconsistencies… stuff like that.
Still, the core idea was strong, and that's what matters most.
Anyway — if you're interested in the new project, I'd love for you to check it out.
And since we're being real with each other…
Yeah, I do have a Patreon 😌
A lot of you don't even bother checking it out, which is fair — but if you enjoy my work and want early access to chapters (I'm currently up to Chapter 102 over there), that's where they are.
There are tiers from $5 to $20 depending on how early you want access. The new fanfic will also be updated there alongside future projects.
But listen — even if you don't want to subscribe to a paid tier, you're more than welcome to join as a free member. I'll still post updates, polls for future translations, and interact with you guys there.
I don't want this to feel like some distant "author and audience" relationship. I genuinely want to build a community. I can't always reply properly to comments here, but on Patreon I'm almost always around if you want to talk, ask questions, or just hang out.
I might sound ambitious, but I've always wanted to build something big with you guys. We're already at 1 million views and 220 fandom members — that's insane to me. And it only happened because of you.
So whether you support through memberships, power stones, comments, or just by reading silently — I appreciate all of it.
Seriously.
Thank you for sticking around.
See you in the next chapter.
Peace out ✌️
