Hi you all, Kotohood here and I just want to say sorry for ghosting you all for five long years.
So I'm just going to go straight to the point of what happened. There was a couple of factors, but essentially Covid+Work+Life kinda screwed me over. I'm not going to go into details, but it hasn't been an easy spot for me. I needed sometime to recover.
The problem was that once I kinda recovered, I find it hard for me to continue the story as I basically have forgotten the important story beats and since the series was so chaotic(the lack of notes and summary my past self left for me didn't make it any easier), I find it hard to continue and end the story. Procrastination come and here we go.
Just a few months ago, to get back into writing, I went back and read this whole series from start to finish and found lots of things that I really didn't like and at some point I kinda lost all motivation to actually end the story. It just wasn't where I want it to be.
Now that I know I will never finish this story. It made me feel a little guilty so here I decided that I would just post all remaining chapters from my patreon and all remaining chapters that I've yet to post onto Scribblehub and Royalroad. (Screw Webnovel, I ain't going there).
So yeah, that's about it. If you all have any other questions, you can write it down in the comments and I'll try to answer them the best I could.
By the way, thank you everyone for your nice comments. Everyone asking me if I'm alright or not makes me a little bit happier on the inside. I really can't thank you all enough.
For those who are disappointed in how the ending is a literal cliffhanger I do have some notes here made by past me on how I was suppose to end the story before I lose motivation. Hopefully it will give you all some form of solace. Spoilers below:

What is my next plan? I have a few novel ideas that I plan to write and have wrote halfway through at this point. I also plan to make a remastered version of this story at some point. A deeper version of this story that is less chaotic and would make more sense but also keep the whimsical nature of the story and the main character.
Again, I thanked you all who have supported me through these trying times. I really can't thank you enough!
