I think it’s about time I explain myself after being absent for so long. I hope you can take some time to read this.
I apologize for disappearing without saying anything. Honestly, I don’t think I’ll be able to finish this fanfic. I love ULTRAKILL, and while Murder Drones isn’t my favorite show, I liked how different it felt and the nostalgic, edgy tone Liam went for. Still, there are a few major reasons why I can’t finish it.
This was my first attempt at writing, and English isn’t my main language, which probably shows in the early chapters. I struggle with writing descriptive scenes on the spot, often not knowing which words to use or repeating myself, and writing long descriptions for a single scene eventually became boring for me.
I also thought more words meant a better fanfic, which led me to overdo everything. Simple ideas turned into 10k+ word chapters, with too much detail added to force emotion. I wanted readers to feel immersed, but it just burned me out. Examples would be the V1 vs V2 fight in Limbo or the last few chapters. I planned around 40 chapters, but with my upload pace, that’s not happening anytime soon.
What started as something enjoyable slowly turned into a chore, and I realized writing takes much more effort and skill than I expected.
As for what happens next, I honestly don’t know. I might leave it, restart it while fixing major issues, or continue and try to improve. I’m still proud of this project and grateful to everyone who took the time to read it, but it needs a lot of fixing.
Feel free to leave your opinion. If I do leave or restart it, I’m sorry for the dry ending, feel free to imagine your own or continue it in your own way. I also have an unfinished next chapter, so if you want to read it, let me know.
Until next time.

@AmarT50 been a big fan for a while and wanted to thank you for inspiring me to write my own ultrakill fics and offer some criticism as one comment pointed out the earlier chapters especially the first were quite lacking in detail and the fight with E being a bit too dragged out in my opinion especially with disassembly drones being weak to heat as they have terrible cooling systems to promote the killing of drones for oil consumption. It's okay if you don't want to finish your work and as someone who recently finished writing a 16k word chapter I understand how stressful it is to maintain a mental publishing schedule and the burn out that comes after publishing such long chapters

@temp_acc2q425q25 I honestly appreciate the feedback, you have a good point. It probably would be easier to just rewrite/improve earlier chapters because the story and plot needs some work, since restarting would be a waste and would take more time. And thanks for following the fanfic for so long, it means a lot. Also I'm glad I was able to make immersive and that you enjoyed V2's character lmao, he's my favorite to write out of the bunch. Again, I appreciate the feedback, I'm gonna just try improving the first chapters for now.

@AmarT50 hi i just made my first wattpad account just to comment and say that i've been following your series for a while and even though there are typos or repeated phrases i still think you did achieve your goal in making it immersive and i thought it was really fun to read v2 being v2. if you do come back to this i think you should work on improving the earlier chapters first not just because its weaker than the newer chapters but because it might be something easier to start doing first before trying to continue.
