Request for Extended Leave

For the rest of this month...

I think... I won't be updating for the time being.

I'd like to take about half a month off.

It's not that I don't want to write...

My mind's a bit of a mess.

Why did I start writing novels in the first place?

Originally, I wrote novels to ease my own mood, but later, some people just made me angrier and angrier the more I wrote.

If it weren't for all the people supporting me, I would've quit ages ago.

Honestly...

Honkai-type novels don't make much money.

After all, they're pretty niche.

But some people are just too infuriating.

I won't say anything about people insulting Old Xu.

I can't even be bothered talking about people criticizing the plot.

But there are also people who've never even encountered Honkai and come in just to leave a one-star rating.

And people who see that it's anime-related and immediately give it one star.

Writing has become miserable.

Our values don't align, and I can't understand the way they think.

And I personally really hate those meaningless wish-fulfillment novels.

I really like the way those great works think and handle their plots.

Because at the very least, they give me a sense of logical consistency.

I've also been trying my best to move in that direction.

So when I think too much about it, it gets exhausting.

I'm not dropping the story or anything. I just want to rest for a few days.

Even now, I still haven't cleared the new storyline.

I'm still catching up on the visual novel.

How can I arrange those plotlines better?

There are just too many problems...

So... half a month...

Let me rest for a while.
