Hello, it's your Author here. I'm sorry for disappearing for more than a year. Don't worry, the Author is still alive (^^)
Actually, I'm still continuing this story in my original language. I also went on a long hiatus there, but I've already explained everything to my readers. Now it's your guys turn, the readers who have stayed with me on this platform.
Sadly... I can't continue this fanfic here. If you read the announcement on my original story, you'll know why.
In short, I don't have free time and I have to focus on real life just to survive.
If you're curious, the economy in my country is not doing well.
My income is only enough for rice and vegetables (and only once a day, btw >.<)
Compared to your country, my currency may be worth very little. Try asking Google, "How much is 200,000 Rupiah (the Author's currency) in my country's currency?" And yes, that is my income for a whole month...
Does it sound made up? I wish it were, but it's the truth.
This new writer is struggling to put food on the table. On top of that, I don't use wifi. I buy my own mobile data (the cheap kind). Recently, I also heard that data prices in my country will go up. And I find all the information for the templates using that data.
On wat**ad, my readers asked me to open donations so I could keep writing this fanfic. (Seriously, I'm not sure why people like this fanfic) Through donations, they can also suggest the templates they want to see.
Honestly... it's a bit ironic. At first, I wanted to drop this fanfic because my time wasn't worth it. But since I could earn some income (even if it's small) I kept going.
If anyone suggests opening donations on Webnovel, I'm sorry, I can't. Some readers on wat**ad also suggested opening patre**n or something similar here, but I said ... no.
It's not that I don't want to. To receive donations in my account, I would need a bank account. My bank account has been blocked because I stopped keeping money in it (the monthly fees were huge).
So how do my readers on wat**ad donate? I use an e-wallet that only works in my country (and it has no fees at all). So outside my country, it can't be used.
Thanks to their donations, I went from eating once a day to twice a day. I could also buy rice and mobile data, which lets this fanfic continue over there. Even if I opened donations here, I think nobody would donate for a fanfic like this, hehehe…
That's the main reason.
The second reason... I've already revised all the chapters of this fanfic in my native language. If I continue here, I'll have to fix every chapter here too (TT) Chapters 1 to 40 may sound short, but each chapter has 4,000–5,000 words, and some have more than 10,000. Revising them all would take a long time and time is something I don't have right now.
If you really want to read the continuation, you can visit wat**ad. Sadly, it's not in English language, but I think you can translate it with AI or a similar tool?
So, that's all... I've decided to drop this fanfic on this platform. I'm truly sorry. Maybe some of you are still loyal readers, but what can I do? A writer needs to eat too ;-)
If you want to read template fanfics in English, I think Webnovel has plenty of them. Sadly, the writing often feels very "AI" and many are rough translations of Chinese fanfics. Honestly, I can't even read some of those template fanfics myself.
Thank you for reading this story (>.<)
