It was finished...
Honestly, it should have ended long ago, but the revival match was just too hard to fight through. After reviving, I still had to look for Rama's remains, and one thing led to another, dragging it out for so long...
Ahem, just kidding.
You could tell from the length that it really should have ended ages ago.
But so much happened during this time. I won't go on about how miserable things were, but it really was because of that that it kept getting delayed again and again.
A lot of people in the group asked about it every day, or said things like, "At least post an outline before you disappear again..."
I did have such shameless thoughts before. I even considered just using Impure World Reincarnation.
But in the end, I decided that no matter what, I should finish it. Things should have a beginning and an end; there had to be a conclusion. Even if it ended badly, I still had to finish writing it... and it really did end badly. I don't even know how many plot holes I left unfilled. Sob sob sob.
And don't say I came back to cash in because I was broke. No matter how glorious it had been before, after so long, where was there any money left to cash in on...
Why had it been delayed for so long? Honestly, it was still because I wasn't good enough. I originally planned something huge, but the moment the second major arc began, I knew it had fallen apart completely... When the results got worse, I fell apart; when I fell apart, the results got even worse... an inescapable vicious cycle.
It also taught me something: some things really were harder than I imagined. At the very least,
