Hi everyone, as you already know, Tapas will shut down on March 31st 2027, which means we still have half a year.
Regarding my stories, as I've said on Instagram, I plan to keep updating The Crown Prince at least until the end of Season 1, which is roughly toward November. In the meantime, I plan to move all the chapters to the new platforms (mainly pinya and namicomi, but I hope lemoon too will open to novels), so that you can keep reading there.
Regarding, The Villain wasn't supposed to fall in love, I'll probably update from time to time until I have managed everything. I'm pretty bury in this period, and I don't have free time to write new chapters. I'm sorry, but I need to prioritize The Crown Prince, because it's my main project.
I've been here for 7 months, but I'm grateful to have met such amazing readers. My dream is that my story could find a little place in your heart, so I hope to see you all on the other platforms <3

Hi everyone,
I'm sure you already heard of it, but Tapas is closing down.
I've been here for 7 months, which isn't much, but it felt like a home to me. I've met amazing creators and lovely readers, I've laughed and cried together with you all, so hearing the news broke my heart.
I feel like I lost something precious.
However, I won't sit on my hands. I'll try to conclude Season 1 of The Crown Prince here on Tapas (15 chapter left, more or less) before the platform closes, so please keep reading until the end <3
Right now, I'm busy moving my stories to a new platform that looks promising: Pinya (https://pinya.io/ZhiLantern). You can already find both "The Crown Prince" and "The Villain wasn't supposed to fall in love"; for the first one, it will take a while to upload all the 110+ chapters, so be patient.
You can find the chapters on my Patreon too (https://www.patreon.com/cw/ZhiLantern), together with bonus content, early access, and nsfw artworks if you subscribe to a paid tier. But you can join as a free member and enjoy the novel for free.
You can find my stories on Scribble Hub and AO3 too; links are in my bio.
If you want to keep in touch, follow me on social media. I'm more active on Instagram, where you can find funny reels about our two dorks in love (want to see Alex trying to flirt with his sexy mage? we have that too)
As a thank you for all your kind support, I'll post the artwork I commissioned to celebrate the 1k subs milestone here on Tapas. I think you guys deserve to see it, after sharing this journey with me. I hope to see you all on a new platform <3

-50 subs until "The Crown Prince and His Guarded Mage" reaches the 1k subs milestone!
For celebrating, I'll post an artwork commissioned to the same artist of the cover, both here and on my Instagram account. But in the meantime, I'm going to post sneak peeks on my IG stories each 10 new subs (so follow me there if you're curious)
If you want to support me more directly, you can join my Patre0n. There, you can find exclusive contents, such as bonus chapters, short story featuring our idiots in love, and my drawings, even the NSFW ones. You can join as the free tier and look around before deciding; everyone is welcome! And thank you for your love <3

I've commissioned a new art for The Crown Prince (I'm planning to post it here when the story will hit the 1k subs milestone, but probably I'll post on my Instagram account as soon as it's finished). Since it's a skeb-style art I just gave the artist a few reference and a description, leaving the rest to her creativity. I'm really excited to see it finished!
For those who's waiting today's update of TCP, I'm sorry I think I messed up with the scheduling, so chapter 100 is already out.
Living in EU makes easy to mess up, since Tapas uses the US west coast time; I'm also not accustomed to use am and pm (over here we usually use a 24h format). I usually schedule the update for it being out during lunchtime in the US, which is evening here in my country, but today it just went out earlier (here it's morning, while in the US it should be nightime, I think?).
Anyway, sorry for the mistake <3 I hope everything is fine in your country and thank you for your support!

Hi guys, ZhiLantern here!
Someone just told me that they can't see my story in their library. I've checked and, from app, I can't see it either, but it still online and reachable through link and by searching manually. It just disappeared from libraries and in the popular section.
It's the second time it happens. The first one was a couple of weeks ago, but I thought it was some kind of bug, even if a friend of mine suggested that it could be reported. I didn't care much and it was visible again after half a day.
It happens again today, and now I'm not so sure anymore it's just a bug. I don't know how it works the "report process", and I honestly don't care. Maybe it's just a coincidence or a bug, or maybe someone is trying to bring my story down.
Either way, the story is still online, so don't panic. You should be able to see it again in a couple of hours. And yes, today's update will be online at the usual hour

Oh! I hope everything will be okay!
Me too. I think it's a matter of time, but honestly it's a pain in the butt >.>
💯
I'm writing chapter 134 and I've just realized that a lot of words that sounds good in my native language, in English are, uhm, horrible. Like the nickname Alex will give William. It was cute untile I translated it 🥲
Hi everyone! Thank you so much for giving a chance to my novel <3
As some of you may have already seen, I've commissioned the new cover art to an amazing artist (@camriio on IG, check her out, her artworks are stunning!)
My two babies feel so real now *-* (and look at how beautiful William)
I love it, and hope you love it too!

I already checked it out and even reached out to them, really hoping we’ll get to work together on a cover for my next novel.
And, yeah, the cover is absolutely amazing

Hi! Zhi Lantern here! I just wanted to thank all the readers who's giving a chance to "The Crown Prince". This story is important for me for some personal reasons, and I relate a lot with both Alex and William's personal journey. Your support means a lot, and I hope that could work together to make this story grow <3
Good luck with your work! Keep up the good work!
Thank you! <3
