Hey guys, this is Quality_Searcher. I want to first apologize for the infrequency of updates and the long break. Nothing bad happened to me, in case you were worried, it's just that I was a bit overwhelmed by writing so I stepped away, then I got distracted by many trivial things and then it was just very difficult for me to get ready to return.
Honestly, there were a couple of times when I thought about giving it up, thinking I wasn't good enough compared to other movies, TV series, anime and fanfics, but the persistent memory of the sense of meaning, achievement and satisfaction I got from writing this story and interacting with you readers prevented me from completely abandoning it.
So going forth, I'd love to get back into writing like before, but since I've been a long time out of work, I think that I have lost my drive and the direction I wanted to take this fanfic, so it could take me some effort and time until I get back into the flow of it and can start writing again with enough confidence in my writing. I don't want to half-ass it and end up disarraying the plot, characters and quality. I know this may disappoint readers who have been patiently waiting for my regular updates back, and I can only apologize and thank everyone who even gave this work a chance and even continued reading till now. I'll do everything I can to get back to the best version of myself.
