Hi, Author here. I've barely even reached 30 chapters and 20,000 words in this novel, but I fear that I've completely lost all motivation to continue my plans on this. I've had many doubts since I've started frequenting schedule changes and notices regarding my novel, and just the sheer fact of pressure to deliver and mainly the reason why I've decided to quit on What's With This Charming Villainess is the distinction between this and my inspiration, the novel, and currently serializing Yurihime manga, I Favor The Villainess. Yeah, you guys have probably heard this a lot ever since last year, don't get me wrong I still do love reading the novel, I'm anticipating on the next manga chapter as of right now! It's just that I honestly think I'm not fit enough for writing satisfying original, and not heavily-copypasted material. I've already gone too far past that and it's a big flaw that's been bothering me for a very long time now, when March is nearing and me breaking continuous promises, I've come to this extreme decision. I'm discontinuing this novel completely.
Though I've had thoughts of keeping the dream alive by recreating or remastering this, changing most of the story and restarting from scratch(I've had different approaches like trying to give a mindset of writing for fun and making an entirely different story), for the sake of quality, originality, and because of how much stuff I've learned just from barely 3 months of experience in digital literature writing for the first time, I feel like I'm over-exaggerating, but it's just been really fun and educational. This choice wasn't sudden but creating this now, it took a whole bunch of immense panic brain ultra-aneurysms lasting me a lot of hours at night to put this up for all to see, especially since it's been 5 months now and Padrjk is still goddamn in the comments(just kidding, love ya hehe!).
So anyways I could've shortened this out a ton and made everything less repetitive and clearer but I don't really feel like it, too lazy lol.
TL;DR: I quit this novel and will no further publish anymore text on this one novel, because of personal reasons.
