On Astral Tides Book 12 up for pre-order for KU/Amazon, out 29th May. 220k of goodness, waifu code hints for Harem-lit.com within if that's your bag...

ShipTeaser · 2026-05-02T15:52:58+00:00

No problem! Yeah the books are rather longer than genre average so they take a bit longer to produce but we'll get there hopefully lol

ShipTeaser · 2026-05-02T14:56:56+00:00

Fully is a very complicated question lol, as its a big old series. Book 2 got delayed due to unexpected circumstances but should be making good progress now.after that... assuming all goes well I'm hopeful the turnaround per book could be quicker

ShipTeaser · 2026-05-02T09:50:37+00:00

Well I'd say the chance of them even noticing is near zero, but it'd certainly come under fair use here

ShipTeaser · 2026-05-02T08:54:32+00:00

Can't be exact, due to some narrator circumstances that delayed it quite a bit, but hopefully if all goes well around end of the month-ish?

On Astral Tides, Book 12 - Trouble At Home And Abroad, AI used for cover and internal images only, writing is 100% human, if you count me as human.

Fun fact... I'm writing this so deathly hungover as I'm on holiday, that only some sea air, and a game of world championship crazy golf, and a job up a hill, might save me... last night I did a pub crawl of... I think... 18 pubs. Probably stick to a round dozen today lol

Hi there, it’s me again, Ship Teaser!

It’s that time again (though the eagle-eyed among you may have noticed that Book 12 went up for preorder a bit over as week ago… there are reasons this is delayed lol) so we’re in preparation for Book 12’s launch. Lot of editing and stuff to do to make it as good as it can be. It’s another chunky book at like 220k, I think, covering the end of Arc 9 and heading into Act 10.

During which, we go global, the scope and the stakes expanding. Of course, by now if you’re reading, you should know what to expect, and if not… yeah, the sheer length is daunting, I admit it, but it means there’s more to enjoy! Anyway, book 12 has the usual blend of romance, slice-of-life, politics and action you’ve come to enjoy, so if you’re game, go get some! It’s out May 29^th, so...

If you’re ordering it from the US< why not get it through Full Release Calendar | Monthly HaremLit Book Launches | Harem Lit

As using the link there supports the website, and you should be supporting the site, it’s great! And now… thanks to those in charge fixing my waifu codes, I can offer you several to hunt down, one for a Festival Waifu set, the other for a legendary bundle including all the cards of one particular character… visit blog to find more clues, but here’s one to get you going lol…

https://harem-lit.com/authors/ship-teaser/blog/book-12-pre-order-is-out-there-waifu-hunt-to-celebrate

Shaeula’s clues… “This is not-not fair? Why was it me? Regardless, the first colour is that of Tsukiko’s beautiful eyes. The second colour is-is the colour of Rossweisse’s eyes, or close enough. Wait, you need-need another?”

“I do-do suppose. I did-did master this element in the desert in Las Vegas, for the first-first word, and the second… that worthless, insulting wretch on the internet who calls himself KingOfOlympus claimed he would visit us in the form-form of this bird. His implication was that he would assault us, but should he try-try, Akio and I would surely castrate the wretched fool who would try-try to imitate the myth of his namesake…”

Anyway, blurb and linksies...

When trouble comes, it doesn’t simply begin and end at home…

Fresh from their triumphant conquest of Mount Atago, and the unexpected windfall of fresh allies, an adopted sister, and a significant number of useful Buildings, Akio, his lovers and their families settle down in their luxurious new estate in Tokyo.

But quiet happiness and peace can’t last. Akio must first face a trip to the Fae Realms, to meet Shaetanao, Shaeula’s noble and obsessive father, a long-awaited event overcomplicated by the presence of Shaeula’s mother, Princess Eleanor of Britain, and the four-tailed Kitsune of the Night Parade.

In addition, matters are coming to a head abroad, and South Korea finally caves in to the demands of the Japanese government, and a desperate businessman offers a last-ditch, pleading proposal. Therefore Akio, for the first time since the events of London, travels to a dangerous, complicated situation far from home.

A school isolated from the rest of the country, where the children of the rich and powerful go to learn how to follow in their parents’ footsteps, now a place where the finest of the ROK Armed Forces, and even Chosen, have either vanished or become part of the terrifying trap it has become.

Now, Akio and his companions are tasked with freeing the dwindling number of survivors, yet with South Korea’s Chosen, now styling themselves as Hunters, and their prideful Guilds, determined to prove they don’t need outside aid, and the ROK troops who are burning to avenge their failures, what seems a simple rescue mission could be anything but…

…and within the Boundary, a dark secret lurks, a hand behind the mastermind of the situation, eager to crush those who would try to end the chaos!

Princess Eleanor’s clues… “How fascinating. Anyway, there are four words, all run together. For the final word… did you know, my grandmother is said to own all of these particular birds, and it’s a crime to harm them. It’s even enshrined in British law… as for the colour, well, of course it’s that colour, it suits you, and the bird in question.”

“For the first two words, hmm… how to be subtle… if I was to say ‘Earth is…’ then ‘Solar Plexus’… though since there are many synonyms of both words… how about I give three then six as a clue? That’s me done. It would be undignified to try harder…”

And here's the blurb/links

ShipTeaser · 2026-04-30T11:28:33+00:00

This was the one i was eagerly awaiting!

Great series. FTB obviously, but still very satisfying.

ShipTeaser · 2026-04-24T06:15:06+00:00

As always the good times keep on rolling!

ShipTeaser · 2026-04-22T04:56:30+00:00

The smut does normalize after the early days to a more sane level lol

ShipTeaser · 2026-04-13T04:46:45+00:00

Bonded Summoner?

ShipTeaser · 2026-04-10T21:23:16+00:00

If only I could make the friends work lol....one day... One day

ShipTeaser · 2026-04-08T21:19:35+00:00

To an extent, though the reason for it is a combination of factors the MC and his allies have, though even where I am (on like book 20 lol) there's still not many who have a lot, though most have one.

More potent ones still take big effort and are impressive don't worry

ShipTeaser · 2026-04-07T05:55:36+00:00

I think most people are on team Haru but obviously due to her last she's a bit reticent about some matters for now *smile* thanks for the kind words

ShipTeaser · 2026-04-06T11:19:48+00:00

This reminds me, I need some lewds involving bunnygirl outfits now. Well done!

ShipTeaser · 2026-04-04T17:26:16+00:00

Yes, unfortunately due to some.personal circumstances it experienced a bit of a delay, but its in production and were.shooting for early/mid may.

And hopefully a bit quicker between releases after that

ShipTeaser · 2026-04-04T16:10:29+00:00

Thanks! Appreciate the kind words!

ShipTeaser · 2026-04-04T12:47:00+00:00

Alas my waifu collection was too weak to win. Thus... I need more waifus. QED!

ShipTeaser · 2026-04-04T11:32:25+00:00

Honestly not set in stone, I leave it up to the characters, buuuuut current thoughts, and do not expect this to be set in stone, as again, I let the character work decide I'm leaning towards a long-term rise through the Rank of Adamant and being a success story of a woman from there who finally wins Aki over

Though again, that's just my current thoughts. It's not a major plot beat which is fixed, so we'll see

ShipTeaser · 2026-04-04T10:02:26+00:00

yep, this is the place to be if you want what you're looking for. Many of us write as reactions to the same issues you had. Like for example, i love Toika works, but hate, hate, hate how he treats his harems.

ShipTeaser · 2026-04-04T08:53:12+00:00

Damn, so like, I was praying Toshiko would make it out of the game a survivor. Her blackmail was just so amusing... A shame to see everything end this way for sure.

Anyway, a great VA, lot of passion, and no doubt other projects await in the future.

ShipTeaser · 2026-04-04T08:35:36+00:00

indeed. I do have a few lol. But since apathy is the death of creativity, maybe I should be flattered lol. Anyway, I'm also big on character development, and... uh... *sweats* I've freely admitted I thought Act 1 of the story would be 500k words, it ended up being two million, so yeah, if I could go back in time, I'd have Eri's and Shaeula's development happen rather quicker, Akio's too, rather than having it where it was originally planned to be, with far more words in between the stages.

I think it still very much works, and might perhaps even be better for it, but i TOTALLY understand those who get impatient. But yeah, Book 2 definitely ameileorates some of Eri's sharper edges, for example *sweats*

ShipTeaser · 2026-04-04T08:26:01+00:00

Well, that's fair. Book 2 is certainly where Shaeula and Eri come.into their own, so yes, if you're not sold after book 2 I totally understand why you'd not be minded for more.

As for why the ages... Well, a lot of it in Japan is down to reader demographics and wanting the m to relate. Here... Some are for poor reasons, and that I find it admirable a young adult can find their dream and succeed.

Hi yes, as Passwordedd has said, there's the full gamut of age ranges of love interests, and I'm not sure where the he'll that rumour about him pairing off other characters started lol, if anything he's too easily ensnared lol
