The former is more important than the latter.
Wildsword always believed that the happiness of the author was paramount!
If the author lost the joy of creation, then no matter how happy the readers were, Wildsword wouldn't be happy either.
Of course, if possible, he still hoped everyone could be happy.
Unfortunately, such works were rare.
The previous works he created either left him thrilled while the readers' response wasn't as enthusiastic,
or the readers were highly enthusiastic, but Wildsword himself lacked motivation, leading to delayed updates, and it would only be under the editor's earnest pleas that he would reluctantly make a move.
After all, he still needed to make a living.
Only this "Fullmetal Alchemist" before him!
Wildsword felt that if he were to draw it, he would absolutely enjoy himself tremendously, and the readers would be satisfied too!
Unfortunately…
This was Shadow's work!
