Alright everyone, it took me a whole month but it's finally here! The Extra chapter 5.1!
Update 1.
[ul]My original plan was to make extra chapters full on R18 and exclusive to supporters on Subscribestar.
However, I still need to use MangaDex to build a base of supporters and communicate with all the free readers about when these extra chapters come out (otherwise it seems I took a full month doing absolutely nothing). And since MD doesn't allow for linking to other websites to read the series they have on their directories, I cannot simply put a 'X.1 chapter' with a promo art stating "come to my SubscribeStar", as that is a violation of the rules.
In mind of these limitations, I have decided to change how the tier system works - supporters will have immediate access to the chapters as they come by, whereas free readers will have a 5 days delay. $5 tier supporters will have access to the uncensored version of the extra chapters. These extra chapters will be censored (invisible dicks and white vaginas) on MD to abide by the rules while avoiding getting buried into the Hentai category and risking losing possible viewership. $1 tier supporters will have immediate access to new chapters, except the extra ones.
I will update my SubscribeStar and Fanbox pages to reflect these changes once I finish solving some issues that came up today.

Update 2.
[ul]In regards to my plans for the future, aside from the pen tablet - XP-Pen released their Innovator tablet at the same price point as Huion Kamvas Pro 16, but they come with wall plugs for all sorts of countries in the package, making compatibility a non-issue, especially for when I move out of my country, so I am thinking about getting the Innovator instead -, I also plan on making my own studio, so I can work on my manga without any distractions. As things are right now, I have too many distractions that reduce my time available to draw.
If I get enough supporters, however, I will be able to move to Japan. Over there, I will be able to rent a 2LDK where I can live alone and invest all my working time on the manga, will have access to more materials for reference and will even be able to hire capable assistants. I have already planned to move to the northern region of Japan (Touhoku), where the climate is more comfortable for me and the rent prices are far lower than Tokyo.
But that will take a very long time to realize. For now, my priority is getting that tablet so i can draw faster and more accurately. Once I get my hands on it, I will make character sheets for every character made to ensure they stay in model throughout the rest of the story. I don't want to draw the sheets right now because my current setup won't allow for much different results than what I have done so far.
[/ul]
That is it for today, but I hope you all enjoy this extra chapter. I am always looking to improve my art and storytelling techniques, so look forward to a steady evolution as the series progresses. I hope.
Thank you all for reading Succubus Shougakusei! Have a nice day!
