There was only one month left until a very important exam, so the author could not guarantee daily updates during this month and needed to focus fully on preparing for that important written test. Maybe after getting tired from doing practice questions every day, the author would write part of the story to clear their head, updating once every few days.
After the written test at the end of November, the author would come back and continue updating this book. The pace would also pick up, with lots of updates, striving to wrap up all the loose ends within a month.
This book would absolutely not be dropped. The few readers who had talked with me knew that this book was nearing its end. According to the outline, the fifth year was the ending, so there was no reason for the author to drop it at the final stretch. Besides, the author also planned to nurture this account and keep writing HP stories.
And there were even a few readers who knew the author's exact address offline. To avoid getting ganked in real life, the author would make sure to come back and finish it.
I'm terribly sorry. The author did not want to provide such poor updates during this period either, but their skill level was not enough—they had to spend at least three or four hours every day to write 4,000 characters, which severely affected review efficiency. And writing books could not support the author for the rest of their life, so this book could only temporarily stop updating.
