Well, I don't know exactly what to write here, but... Let's go
It's been a while since I've had the will and inspiration to write, I try but nothing comes to mind
And also, I completely lost the will to continue reading novels. The few that I used to read, I stopped reading with the problem of Webnovel making fun of the translations.
And I think this was the reason I lost my inspiration to write. There's no point in me trying to produce something whose content doesn't appeal to me anymore.
There's no point in me procrastinating and ignoring reality any longer. I have abandoned the novel, whether intentionally or not.
My feelings about this are mixed. At the same time that I want to continue with it, I know that I won't have the commitment necessary to continue with this project.
I don't know, maybe I'll come back someday. Either by writing something else or by continuing with this one.
I don't promise anything. After all, promises are nothing more than words, and breaking them is something that requires no effort at all.
I've enjoyed the time I've spent writing up to this point, even if it's not much. The character "Lucas Sorey" was the way I found to express myself, to transmit my points of view and ideas to other people.
DAMN, I ACCIDENTALLY UPDATED THE PAGE AND LOST MORE THAN HALF OF WHAT I WROTE!
Fuck it too, I won't write again. I'll be brief now.
All in all, I want to thank all of you who made it through the first chapters of this story. I admire your perseverance to keep reading it. I myself don't like to go anywhere near that underworld.
Also, thank you very much for "listening" to me during this time. I really enjoyed the time I spent writing and the experiences I gained from it.
But, unfortunately, this is the end. Things come and go in life, and I and this story are one of them.
I just hope that in some way I have helped you. Whether it's just passing the time in this boring life or something bigger, I become a pleasant memory for everyone.
With love, you author of compromise and questionable morality. Akira, Taki, KaZZ or whatever the name is by which you know me.
Goodbye to you all, take care and live well. Perhaps we will meet again at another time.
A hug to you all, and good luck on your journey.
damn, was looking foreword to this story continuing. it sounds like your mistake was letting yourself get demotivated by idiots over at webnovel. i wish you sought out different sources for inspiration before it came to this. hell you know you could just ask some of your readers for recommendations right?
bleh, anyways good luck with whatever it is your planning to do going from now on. you were an interesting fellow and had some pretty good writing once language barrier issues were dealt with. but hey, the best part was you continued to improve and used the useful feedback you got. hold on to that quality, it'll serve you well so long as you don't let it control you.
It wasn't exactly the Webnovel, despite being the biggest cause
My desire to read novels was fading over time. I just got sick
Come to think of it, the biggest cause was definitely Webnovel
First with the time when they stopped pirating the site, which led me to abandon some novels that I didn't follow there because of the limited fast passes
Then what came to an end for good was the fact that they made it impossible to translate on the site
The already few novels decreased to just one, which ended up becoming my favorite (Top Tier Providence. By the way, I recommend reading it, it's very good, although not for everyone)
Also, I ended up getting bored. As I read more and more, I unconsciously became more critical of novels.
At first, I could read any crap and find it interesting. Currently, it is very difficult for something to pique my interest
And, unfortunately, this lack of interest ended up being reflected in my writing.
My personal life also plays a role in this.
As I once said, I started writing during the pandemic and at the age of 16, where all I did was stay locked up at home with not much to do.
I'm currently 17 and the responsibilities just came.
With school in the morning and course in the afternoon, literally 12 hours of my day (from 6 am to 6 pm) are spent with me being busy.
I don't find it tiring, on the contrary, it's much better than spending the whole day at home with nothing interesting to distract me. In this routine, time passes very quickly, so much so that the middle of the year has arrived in the blink of an eye.
But, with that, it ends up that during my free time, I don't feel like writing because it takes me a lot of time, so I end up leaving it for the free days, which are usually the weekends.
And with my writing pace being pretty slow plus the wait for the weekends, it ends up in these giant gaps between each chapter.
These would be the main factors for my lack of motivation to write.
But as I said, the time and experience I had during this period was really cool :)
A little sad that it all ends up like this, but unfortunately, that's life
Thank you so much for all your feedback and comments on the chapters. They were always awaited by me with each new chapter posted.
And my writing couldn't improve without the feedback I received, it was a joint effort by all of us
Once again, a big thank you and all the best to you
The future is uncertain, maybe we'll meet again another day
Understandable, I liked your work and hope you will start writing again when you feel like it. Have a great day!
Thank you very much, and have a great day too.
As for advice, don't "publish" for a while. What I mean is don't stop writing... just write when you feel like it and only write for yourself. If you ever FINISH a story, then publish it. Also, don't write for others, just write for yourself. Just things that make you smile or you find engaging. Another thing I would do if you do publish, don't publish it all at once... just "piece-meal" it out very slowly. Always, always tune-out the "haters" It's not worth fretting over every negative thing.. there are way too many people who love to bit*h and moan about somebodies talent or drive when they themselves have neither and haven't done anything themselves.
If you need recommendations for good stories from Scribble... I have a few such as Wisher Beware or it's sequel Ecdysis.. some of the best writing on here IMO
Google docs are nice, because they save every couple of seconds and you won't lose lot if you accidentally reload (like most 1 paragraph / 1 sentence). Later copy paste and edit so it looks nice. I hate webnovel for their 'points' system that limits you from reading and caused that chapters are really short (from reader pov) to be affordable by person who just logs in daily (4-8 chapters for one action / fight...). I also understand lack of time to write... People who don't write, don't understand on how much time it is needed to construct 2k+ chapter that would continue story, be clear and readable that would make a reader enjoy...
Its a shame that it turned out this way, but cant really be helped it seems. At least you did us the courtesy of telling us you are dropping the story rather than just complete radio silence, and for that as well as what story you did write for us, I appreciate it. Best of luck to ya in the future
keep it up online, so if inspiration and motivation kick up, you can start again without too much of a hurdle!
wish you all the best!
Please take this down. I loved this story but what a waste .
Oh damn
Hope to see you again
F
Shame I was really getting in to this, i hope yo can recover your inspiration to continue this.
