First off...a Happy New Year!
I hope you are having a wonderful time
Ringing in the new year with loved ones.
Thanks for taking the time to check on me too!

...Am I catching you in a good mood?
You see, I wanted to talk a little bit
About what you can expect from The Truth Tellers in 2026 -
The good, the bad, or just things that are changing!

(1) Much ado was made about the difficulty of
Running Grailchujang and the main series side by side.
I loved bringing Grailchujang to you, but I also know that
The main series could have been much further along, with better-looking pages,
If Grailchujang was not tying up my weekends.

In 2026, I have resolved to work on one story at a time.
If a side story cannot be completed in 1-2 uploads,
I will pause the main story and work on that side story instead.
I will do my best to communicate this clearly across all my series
So that it isn't weird.
(It might be a little weird)

(2) Something else that I've been thinking about
Is using bonus episodes as incentives.
Lately, I've had the sneaking suspicion that my math isn't mathing.
Since the comic isn't being promoted by me, and probably not by Tapas,
Who is picking up the slack for views and likes?
I'm concerned that it might be my existing readers.
And why should I put the success of the comic
On you, like that?

In 2026, all view bonuses will end.
However, I will still honour 3k views and 500 likes.
I will do this for at least one year and see
If it has any impact on either readership
Or my own motivation to draw.
My working hypothesis is that
Life will simply
Go on.

(3) This will not be the end of spin-offs and extras, though!
I can see that there is interest in tales from the TTT universe.
So I will still draw those, but only when I have time,
And only when they make sense in the flow of the story.

Everyone, how does that sound?
Leave a comment with your thoughts, even just to curse me out!
I'll be waiting!
