Unfortunately, this is not a story update. This is me telling you guys I'm going to take a break. Which, in the grand scheme of things, is pathetic in some ways. I write for one month and then I get burnt out, yay go me. Honestly, not having a new slime ep every week just didn't motivate me. A lot of the chapters I made were because of watching the new episodes every week.
Will I be back to continue this story? If yes, when?
I have no idea. I plan on writing during my time away but I'm not going to stress myself out like I used to, to do chapters. I am slowly but surely buying the manga, and that might reinvigorate me to continue writing, but it's not a guarantee. I also have recently started working at a job and that has been taking up a lot of time with school also in session.
One other reason I'm taking a little break is that, like I mentioned earlier, stress. I NEVER expected my story to get anywhere close to the amount of support it got. 500 favorites and 600 follows, thank you so much for that. I just think I worry too much about disappointing people who read. I started this as a hobby, something fun to do, but I let myself become consumed in trying to satisfy everyone that which stressed me out quickly.
Some people like what I'm doing because it's unique and the only one in this category that had a semi-constant update schedule. Others hate what I'm doing because I'm "ignorant" towards slime canon, that I underestimate a character's strength because I haven't read the LN or Manga. I feel like I try to appeal to some of those people too much and forget that I'm writing because I was having fun. And other people give much-needed criticism that is constructive and not "I hate what you're doing, stop." And I thank those who have given me awesome critique.
If I ever do quit, I won't just randomly abandon it like some authors. I will make sure to put it in the summary or something.
Anyways, sorry for making long ramblings like usual, my bad.
Just wanted to end by saying thank you for the support and I'll see y'all when I write again :D
