The Grim Guy

I still haven't found a job...

Bro where's the new chapter of saekano please continue this story 

Yay, 500 Followers.
          
          Still no chapter because I'm still stressed by my own laziness to prepare everything for going home so now I'll have to do that just when the days are pretty close now.

Lol, my workplace is a mess.
          
          I should've resigned (and still would) at 27th of this month. There were two candidates for my place, and both of them decided to not work here, with the last one deciding that today.
          
          Tomorrow and Friday is my days-off, with Saturday being my last. Now, how the fuck is this workplace going to workout without an Accounting?

Fuck, I'm a mess.
          
          It's an IRL problem, so you can ignore this because I'm just going to rant about myself. 
          
          I've been having a difficulty of trying to care for my own wellbeing. It's so worse that I thought me dying would be better because the current me is just a nuisance to other people. It had been a few months of me acting like this, since I somehow become pretty dull to everything and more apathetic in general.
          
          I think I've said this a lot of times by now, but writing is a way for me to cope with reality. I won't completely stop writing because it's still a hobby of mine, but for a while now (me doing a comeback of The Apprentice is when I'm in this uncaring phase), it is a fact that it is an unhealthy thing to do. I should stop temporarily (and I've said this in my previous announcement).
          
          I should really get my bearings together. I guess my mother had a pretty reasonable reason on trying to keep me away from living in a different island.
          
          Urgh, me and my lack of bearings.

Saekare is good to go (maybe a bit of an overstatement, considering how rushed I wrote it, but whatever) and should be ready to upload tomorrow. That said, this doesn’t apply to Prince of Wishes.
          
          I’ve got a lot going on in real life right now—mainly my resignation, preparing for the trip back home, and looking for a new job. I’m going to focus on getting those sorted out first, and I’ll keep you all updated as things move toward something more stable. I’ll still be writing in my free time since it’s a hobby, so I’m not completely stopping—just noticeably slowing down.
          
          I’ve also changed my mind about what to continue after Kiyotaka’s First Nightmare in Shadow Slave. Instead of the Demon Slayer fanfic, I’ll be continuing The Apprentice. @Reprobate_ seemed to have some nice sequences of events for me to look at.
          
          If I want to build a larger community later on, I can do that through Saekare or Makeine. I originally wanted to push Grimgar, but I don’t really have anyone actively reading it, even though it did get consistent—and honestly, noticeable—reader growth as the chapters went on (I ended up writing over 50,000 words for it). For now, I’m just going to fake it till I make it with The Apprentice.
          
          I know I can be pretty wishy-washy for most of the times, so feel free to call me out or remind me however you like when I start acting like this, lol.

I'm fucking ashamed to live in this country.
          
          The leader is shit, the goverment is shit, I hope all those corrupted evil motherfuckers go to hell.
          
          Like goddamn, the Sumatran is all suffering and you're caring about your own fucking ego by not classifying it as a national disaster? Fuck you. They could've been saved if you just lower your ego. You scared about your corrupted acts to be revealed? Do one good shit and just do that instead of letting your own people dying bitches.
          
          I've never been more ashamed to live in this country. I really hope the Nepal treatment to happen here as well.

I had a bit of writer character development.
          
          First off, Kiyotaka fits into almost any crossover, so I’ve been using him to pull attention toward series that don’t get much spotlight—especially Grimgar.
          
          But that approach is pretty hard to pull off when I don’t have a big, dedicated audience yet. I’ll be honest—I’m greedy. Like, I had nearly 500 followers and still said not big enough? Still, for those of you who are sticking around, I’m genuinely thankful. Without you, I wouldn’t have much motivation to keep writing.
          
          So the plan is pretty simple: focus on the popular stuff first, grow the community, and prove that I can actually finish clear story arcs. I mean, I had nearly 500 followers and still haven’t completed a major arc or even hit 50,000 words in a single fic—that’s honestly pretty pathetic. Once I fix that, I’ll have a lot more freedom later.
          
          From what I can tell, this is roughly how my works rank right now, all CoTE Crossovers, from most popular to least:
          
          1. Makeine — already have drafts for a new crossover
          2. Roshidere — only read Vol 1 so far
          3. Saekano — currently active
          4. Demon Slayer — very likely next continuation
          5. KonoSuba — vague anime knowledge (haven't rewatched it), no LN reading yet
          6. Day R — possible continuation
          7. LoTM — possible continuation
          8. Shadow Slave — active, but probably going on hiatus
          9. Classroom of the Arcane — maybe later
          10. Grimgar — failed and currently unpublished
          
          I still want to balance fantasy and slice-of-life, so CoTE × Makeine won’t be coming out anytime soon.
          
          For now, the plan is: finish Kiyotaka’s First Nightmare in Shadow Slave, then move on to Demon Slayer. After that, I’ll work my way down the list, at least until each story finishes its first arc or reaches a clean stopping point.
          
          Most of my followers came from the more popular fics, so I will be prioritizing those. That said, I’m not abandoning the less popular ones. I already started them, so I’ll take responsibility and get back to them when I can.

Goddamn it, I can't release Saekare today.
          
          As a matter of fact, I don't think the releases of Prince of Wishes too will be consistent for this month or the next one in particular. I will have to go home by the end of this month and prepared everything to do that, and then search for a new job by the next month.

Prince of Wishes is done. Chapter 3 is about 8,500 words, and I will probably upload more tomorrow.
          
          I will focus on Saekare first.
