Long story short—Indefinite Hiatus. I don't want to get people's hopes up and keep waiting for an update.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
I do not know how to say this properly. As you might've noticed, updates have gone slower the past week or so. And unfortunately, that might be the last. This isn't a matter of motivation or anything. I do enjoy writing this and I would love to write more of it if I could.
It's just that, I don't want to sound melodramatic or attention-seeking but, best I can say is I've been mentally checked out of this life for the past year or so. I've been pushing it back for so long since I have money saved up and I was able to drift through. But eventually, it will all catch up to me and I'll have to face it. That little retreat I did with my coworkers last week only really worsened it all. (Try to guess where I came up with the idea of having a camp in the story xdd)
Nvm. I originally had a wall of text here but just deleted it (just like when I write my chapters -_-). I don't want to sound all depressed and shit.
In that note, when I read other stories I actually can't believe how they can pump out 17/ch a week. I can barely write one in a day. You'd think with all of this A.I. shit that popped out this year, I'd be able to pump out at least a chapter a day but I actually still write just as slow as I did back then.. Inu fact, I only got more worried that my chapters sounded like they were written by ChatGPT lol.
As for me, I don't know what happens in the future, but I hope it brings happiness. Who knows, maybe it won't be as bad as I thought it would be and I'll be able to upload a chapter tomorrow or the day after. If so, I will remove this note.
But while this chapter is up, this novel is on hiatus. NO, I won't be reading comments on this one.
I hope all of you reading lead wonderful and happy lives.
