Author note (important)
Hi my fellow friends. I normally don't post notes, but I feel that I need to address something very important and I need you all to know and understand what I have to say.
Don't worry, it's not about Metal Gear Solid Code Zero being cancelled, not when I'm almost done with it.
To begin, I want to give an apology for everyone who has been reading my crossover fanfic of Metal Gear and Code Geass from the very beginning. Recently I felt that the last 2 chapters has more or less disappointed many.
I may have made Lelouch go out-of-character judging from the recent reviews I have seen, one which I was kinda prepared to face the negativity about it. But recently, i started to feel unsatisfied with this decision. So i have decided on rewriting some segments of the last 2 chapters and remove that twist with Lelouch betraying Big Boss. I may go with my other idea that won't involve Big Boss and Lelouch part ways in bad terms like i have shown in the last 2 chapters.
I appreciate many of the ideas that you guys shared with me on the reviews or from PM's, it helped me a lot to improvise the story and reach to the parts that I have envisioned years ago.
Amongst other things I felt that I haven't done well, is that the last 2 chapters are feeling forced and maybe rushed, which is another aspect that I wanted to talk about.
The reason why the chapters are like this, is because I'm going through a very hard situation in my life.
I mentioned before that I left my college due to financial problems and I decided to work. But after that, it got worse. As time passes and me getting older, I got even more busy with work and I started to lose my focus on my story, which resulted to how the story is so far.
I also had social problems with my family and a former best friend. I won't go into detail, because it's very long. All I can say is that my family is having a small economical problem that requires more of my time invested on works. As for my former best friend, I was lied and betrayed by that person whom I trusted for almost 6 years. These problems are also a factor that made me feel greatly unmotivated.
The issues with my college and ex best friend was more or less solved for a while as I stated in a small note in one of the previous chapters. But even though these are solved, I'm still getting a lot of work in my family business.
I also got to a point where I was almost going to discontinue the story, like many good stories that authors had to abandon or discontinue due to life. Many authors who cancelled their stories expressed that their own fanfic was time consuming and it began to feel like a work instead of a hobby. I feel that it's true because I was at some point going through the same thing. I felt that I was wasting and consuming so much time, and it also made me feel more like a forced work than a hobby. I really hated that feeling, because it would diminish the heart and care that I gave to my story.
Still, deep inside me, I still wanted to finish what I have imagined 7 years ago. So, these last months and due to the COVID-19 going around, I have decided on finishing it this year so I can at least have this one story finished and go to a hiatus to reorganize my life.
The sequel will happen, rest assured. But the hiatus may be longer.
Aside from reorganizing my life and work, it will at least give me some time to fresh out ideas and plan it carefully to what I want to happen in the next part.
Well, this is all what I needed to say. I hope you guys understand what I'm going through and give this recent chapter and the last one I'm currently writing a chance. If anyone wants to help or share anything in mind, you are all free to PM me, just no angry comments or bashing
Thank you for reading this and see you in the next chapter :)
