Therefore I've decided it will be much better if everyone can access it freely. You can now use the character customization feature even if you are not a patreon supporter.

(Using placeholders images for now.) For the last 10 days, I was working on a big update that will let you discover chatfics from the chatfic servers you have already visited. Obviously, this required me to invent a thing called "chatfic servers" first, and yeah, I did that too.
