First of all I congratulate you for being able to survive all that cringiness but you won't need to go through anymore of it.
I'm sorry that this kinda came out of nowhere but I'm dropping this novel...Sorry...
For the time I've been writing this novel I've had a lot of fun expressing my ideas and organizing them into a story but I don't think I'm as much of a writer as I am a reader.
I've been pondering over this for the past 2 months and finally came to a decision, this isn't because of the ML situation or anything but purely because I prefer reading over writing.
It's just that reading is more enjoyable for me, but that doesn't mean that writing wasn't enjoyable for me, it was but just not as much.
Reading through the comments, reviews and even just looking as the view count etc brings a smile to my face, when I had started this novel I hadn't expected to get this many readers, I'm incredibly grateful for all of this, but I just can't bring myself to continue this without burning myself out, writing isn't as relaxing as reading, at least for me.
The chapters that you have all been reading were the stockpile that I had written up for volume 2.
I'm sorry if any of you felt like you had wasted your time reading this novel that is dropped in the end but at least, I don't feel like I have wasted my time, this novel has been fun to write but I'm not able to continue it.
Thank you for everyone who had waited these two months and I apologize for disappointing all of you.
Thank you for voting, commenting, reviewing and just reading my novel.
But I'm sorry...
That's really all I can say.
As for the discord server, I'll keep it open since it's been fun chatting to the few of you that had joined, I'll probably make some changes to it though.
Feel free to join the server, whether it's to berate me or whatever...
It's been fun.
