i love 4tw so much, its been life changing, but i also love the game aspect of it lol I think you would like Pacemaker better (from what i heard in this video) since it has word count goals, stats, graphs, etc. There are paid options, but i haven't explored them since the free version has been helpful enough! (it's just for tracking, though) in a little defense of the crystals, as a student, i love how i could buy crystals for 3 months worth but i dont have to use the 3 months consecutively and can instead just get my one month when i know i'll have time and not "waste" them during finals and such
I'll definitely check out Pacemaker! Thank you for the suggestion. And your point about the crystals is fair, I've never used it that way but I can definitely see the perks of splitting it up when needed.
I feel like $40 for a 1-year subscription isn't that bad for what they offered. Now they use a more general subscription service that will cost you $96(members) or $144 (pro), otherwise if you do monthly its $10 ($120pa) and $14 ($168pa). The module they used before was more versatile in that you just paid when you wanted and didn't need to "Unsubscribe" which a lot of people forget to do. Paying the $40 was the cheapest, you get what are essentially 16 bonus crystals. I just use the free version, I like the challenge of only being able to have 15 battles/4 quests per-day as it paces me so I'm not spending all of my time, I have to use it effectively. I wish I got into it earlier so I could use the old subs though, would have been cheap(er).
The old subscription was much better than the current, but I still don’t like the whole system with crystals. That’s coming from someone who never really care about skins and similar in any type of game though. 40 for a year was definitely a good price imo.
Im looking at the 144 dollar (pro) price for the year... and crying internally. 12 dollars a month is honestly not that bad, compared to other services that wouldn't be as productive, lol. It's just the upfront cost that is a bit wounding. I've been using the free version for a week now and LOVE it. I got my book (more like a manwha story about time regressing) to 3,000 words today. My goal is a short story of 10,000 words by next month. It's the first time I've gotten so far in writing a story! Probably time timed battles. I've want to create something for so long, so I'll try sticking to this platform, too. Finish writing first... I'll worry about publishing, editors, and all that jazz later on! 😅 (Have no idea what I am doing, lol) However, im confused about how Endurance battles work. Do I have to write non-stop? I haven't tried them yet.
Yeah the upfront cost can sting, but I'm glad they do have a free version, even if it's very limited. :) During the endurance battles, you have to write continuously. No long breaks. You get a time bar and I believe it gives you a sort of countdown to when you need to start writing again (not sure if they've updated since I left, but I think it's unlikely). It's something I only did when I was in a flow so I didn't have to stop to think too much.

Quitting a platform because you no longer need it thanks to how efficient it was is quite the compliment!
I will always be grateful to it for helping me get back to where I wanted to be!

Alright, thanks for letting me know! That's what I thought it was. Sounds like I won't be doing them too much.
