DISCLAIMER
Hey guys, Remnant Bardock here &... Not gonna lie, i did not want to things to go the way they did. First of all, the story here just stopped... & There's little excuse for this. I'm so sorry for making you guys wait in silence for over a year at this point, almost a year in a half, actually without no update whatsoever & for that, i am sorry.
Most of it is because of my work & many family issues that i'll go into in a bit, but the main factor as to why the hiatus took as long as it did was because of how unmotivated & overall, how frustrated i got over writing this story that i wanted to tell... I felt like i was being too ambitious, too out there & worst of all, i was doing it all by myself, with little to no help or feedback whatsoever. It's not like i tried to seek for help, but nobody really came by to lend me a hand as a proper Co-writer, let alone a small team who can help me. I'm not like my friend, TPoynt, who is able to put out a RWBY story where he got to Volume 7 in the span of just 2 years & still deliver great quality, on top of his new ongoing Final Fantasy: Chronicles of Remnant series, which i highly recommend you guys to read. I'm not like RyuJudge6614, the writer of both The Daemon's Rose & Team KELP who can accomplish similar things. Both of which were done by themselves... & Then there's me, the outlier who can't even get halfway through Volume 1 in a span of 24 chapters... LONG chapters at that, some of these span over 30 pages long... & That just made my feelings about writing this story all the worst...
Until eventually, i hit the one point nobody wants to reach: A Block/Burnout point... & I have been on that point for over a whole year & it just got worst until i just couldn't take it anymore. For context, i started to write outlines for my story so that i can go into the future chapters well prepared. It worked at first, until i got halfway through the Volume 2 documentary & it just became utter hell. I just finished that outline a few weeks back & it didn't really made me feel like i did anything grand, it just made me glad that i can finally move on... Only to realize that i couldn't move on, due to the burnout. That's not even mentioning all the work & family related stuff i had to deal with for a while, like getting big videos done as soon as possible, dealing with my obnoxious household every 5 minutes, just being stressed out & overwhelmed by everything around me until i had no choice but to finally go to a therapist... Unfortunately, that last part is going way too slow... Then again, impatience was always my biggest obstacle. I always wanted things to go a certain way as fast as possible, to get something done as soon as i can so that i can finally move on... That attitude never really worked for me & the way i wrote & handled this story is the biggest example of that.
After finally reaching a breaking point & letting my insecurities get the better of me yet again, i asked a few friends & they told me to take a break & try again later... While i was hesitant since i didn't wanna have you guys wait any longer than i did... But deep down, i knew they were right & so, i decided to pull the plug off... For now... Now i am NOT done with this story, i still wanna write it... But i wanna try it with a new approach & maybe even have some actual help, cause doing it solo again is out of the question. So here's what i decided to do. I'm gonna take a short break, take December mostly for myself & once 2024 starts, i'm gonna start things fresh. I'm hoping to get this new tale started somewhere around June since my birthday is June 25th, which i think is manageable enough. Six months is enough time for me to get at least a few chapters done... I hope!... But that aside, i want to once again apologize for those who i made wait for so long, only to do this... But i also wanna thank those who supported me & read my stuff, inspite of how... Bad it was at points, Jesus, some of these decisions were bad & i regret them a lot. Even so, seeing the follows & kudos i got, as well as some comments here & there put a smile on my face & i am genuinely grateful that i made some people happy with my work... & I hope i can do that again once i'm in a fresh state of mind... But that's something i REALLY have to work with, so i hope you can all understand where i'm coming from & i apologize once again for this.
This has been Remnant Bardock & as i always say:... "Until our next meeting, have a wonderful day my friends..."
