The Fate of the Overlord of Warcraft.
So, it's been nearly four months since I uploaded the last time...well then, a few words need to be spoken.
To be honest, I am not sure what to do with this story. You see, the problem with this story is, that it started when I was at my peak. Motivation, passion, a drought of other ideas, and a shitton of free time.
Well, it's March 2023, and I basically lack any of those.
I have made attempts to come back and rework this time and time again, I have even made some alternative chapters to replace the first few, as I stated in previous chapters. However, I am not sure if there is even an interest in it anymore. So, I will state my points, and I want to see what the reaction to this information will be.
1. Tbh, It's a point I saw in the comment. This story is called Overlord of Warcraft, yet it has little to do with Overlord. While I have created ideas for every overlord character there was up to 14th LN, I cannot be blind to see that this story will not have that much tied to what people associate with Overlord. And so, if I was to return to this story, I might as well cut ties with Overlord as a part of the story, and rather keep it some sort of inspiration and theme. I have no doubt some people will be a little disappointed, but all of the time I write I am either focused on original ideas or doing something warcraft related. I think if I were to write a story tied to Overlord, it would need more overlord. So, the conclusion for point 1. I might rebrand Overlord of Warcraft more so into Warcraft, under a similar name, while keeping the story quite similar.
2. Do you even want this story to continue? I am not gonna lie, we are like at the beginning of the warcraft 2 era. There is SOOO much stuff to write about, that frankly, I am not sure when I would even end this. Like, as far as the warcraft story progresses with each expansion, I could write forever. But, I am aware I will not be around forever to do so, and given many of you have seen it, I am not the faster writer, even when I am motivated. So, I will say this out loud, I am not sure what to do and when to end this story. It's an issue of every story, that it might at one point end.
3. Well, the third point it's gonna be easy, and refers back to the 2nd. Adult life is not easy for writing fanfics. Daily life, job, additional study, social life. I'm not gonna lie, writing fanfics doesn't help you that much in anything. And as this story might need a lot of dedication to make it interesting, I am simply not sure how long I will keep it.
So, to conclude. I am not sure right now what I am going to do with this story, and I want to hear some people from the internet tell me what they think about it. If I plan to work on it, I will for sure focus on reworking the base, writing out the cringe, and myself from it. Second, depending on what I choose, I will post it on AO3, cause I wouldn't mind sharing it in another place.
So, I will listen to the void of the internet, and declare the fate of this series.
