General update!

Hey Hohers!

I realize I've not updated the news page since I got hospitalized in November!

I wanted to just pop in a quick update I've been doing way-way better since all of that transpired.

Long story short: I had 1.5-2 years of unexplained intense pain that was causing massive weight loss (like 20kg in 2 years) & sleepless nights. The original diagnosis was acid reflux, but medication barely seemed to help with it.
One hospitalization + jaundice later, it turns out it was actually due to bilestones.

Anyway, as this all happened I also had to deal with some very unpleasant personal drama (I'll not go into details, but one ex-friend with feelings for me basically wished hell upon me whilst my health was imploding, which was great for my mental health while I was already doing miserably).

All-in-all the entire thing took me quite a while to really get over. After a few months now I've noticed that I've started definitely healing from the entire thing. My physical health has been good for months & my mental health is slowly but surely recovering from it all. I've also been managing to stabilize my HoH buffer updates enough to avoid buffer shrinkage over the entire ordeal.

Beyond that I've been spending more time being social, making friends locally & playing the badass game 'Blood on the clocktower' as a way to aid my mental health journey in overcoming what's probably the darkest and most unpleasant year and a half in my life. :p

I wanna thank everyone who's been keeping up with HoH for all these years & also the new readers who have joined recently! It really makes me happy how many readers have followed my story for such a long time!

Kind regards,

Neorice/Guido

Thank you for the update, Neo, it's awesome that you're doing better!

I dunno about calling us "HoHers", though, there's gotta be a better name.

I'm glad you're feeling better, and that they were able to treat your bilestones.

May your mental health continue to improve, ex-friends be darned!

Great to hear! I don't comment much but really love the comic. Many more years of good health to it and you!

Glad to know you're doing well, Neo!
I did notice we hadn't had a news post in a while, but I just assumed life got busy. It's great to know things are looking up for you.

I was actually re-reading APTGG somewhat recently, and it made me realize it's been such a long time since I started reading your stories.
Thanks for updating daily for so long now, even when life was being rough with you. I really appreciate your efforts.

Here's to your good health and even more fun stories to come!

Awesome. Best wishes to you mate. Thanks for eating up my life for a week each year I binge from the start again!

That's good to hear!
I'm glad you are recovering and feeling better.
Thank you for keeping the best comic book ever up to date even with all these struggles, but please remember that health always comes first, ok? Both physical and mental! Stay well!

Glad to hear you're hanging in there! Thanks for never missing an update for however many years it's been now!

Glad you are much better! That makes me happy. :>

Glad to hear your doing better :). and after reading apologies for some of my over the top insane joke comments I've made in the past.

I only just saw the update, mostly because I don't look at the front page here very much. Thanks for the update, it's great to hear that you've not only recovered/recovering physically but also mentally from your ordeals.

In regards to a name for us, how about Hero Followers? Likely taken up somewhere else. Shader Supporters? Doesn't sound right, particularly since Shader's where only introduced around page 1575. At least, I'm fairly certain the exhibition match was around when they were first introduced, and it wasn't in the first 1,000 pages.

...We can't be called anything related to an apocalypse, it's spoilers and something the story may not actually follow through on. "Oh Follower's" is unlikely taken and could be pretty interesting.

Tom & Neorice could you please respond to how you think of us HoH Readers being called Oh Follower's? Well, if you care to. Tom probably won't see it, and Neorice, you may not want to, even if you do see my comment, especially since it's over a month since you first posted.

Dang dude get better. The art in the comic is amazing btw hope it's original.

49054: Neoriceisgood - Thursday, December 18 2025 - 2:44 AM

@threeboy!

Thank you! I am much better aside from the mental toll 2 years of intense pain took.

But yeah all art is 100% original and made by myself!
