My hero academia was close to my heart growing up in highschool, I was the loner who never drew enough attention to be remembered.
Scrolling though the wall of Fan-fiction that many others have written I lost myself when my favorite story was dropped. I kept refreshing the page. The tab remained open In Chrome for the hope that one day it will update. How long was I doing this?
"Fuck, is it really dead?"
I looked again at my phone, the (dropped) remained by it's title. It's an inescapable truth, it has no author to write new chapters. the updates have ended.
This was the story keeping me sane during my years in highschool, steadily reading it throughout my enrollment. I read it while everyone ignored me. When I lost any will to leave the house. When I desperately chased down novels with a similar plot or enough tags in common.
Damn, lets stop talking about this... anyway.
[Author note: Thank you so much for reading up to this point, I'll be ending this arc next chapter!]
From my first year all the way to graduation, It was written and updated over the years. It was leaving me with a bitter animosity for the story never getting close to an end with how many chapters it has. spanning over 300k words. never reached a proper end.
Looking through the comments that are over two years old, I see mine. it was from when the chapter was first out.
-A_Canadian: Thank you for the chapter, I am looking forward to the next one!!!
I still can't get over my web novel addiction, I keep choking down chapters of garbage to the point where I forget all the characters names. including the Mc if they dont mention names enough.
My old comment was so... Hopeful, How to survive a Shounen anime was my reason for living, hell it was a edgy self insert power fantasy. It featured horrendous grammar, but for a brain that has rotted from MTL reading. It was the best novel for me.
I even tried my own hand at writing a fic, turns out I am no writer. My own story was a slough to read through.
With only eight comments and a single review we can see my own fic wasn't highly regarded, even known for that matter.
But seeing my favorite MHA fic that used to be in the top 10's disappear from any ranks entirely was overwhelmingly sad to see even when I recommend it to others online they never pick it up to read. Ah I am just too hopeful for a dying hobby.Â
With my stop coming up I put my phone in my pocket and get ready to leave the bus all the slightest bit more bitter towards his upcoming crapfest of a job.
