I wonder, is it safe to assume your The returners fic is comlpetly dropped?

Hello everyone! It's been a while! I just finished taking the JLPT N3 (god was it hard) and since I have a bit of free time, I might try to write a bit for the ToG story.
          
          For the meantime, I've unpublished it since I've made quite a few changes which I need time to write down. I can't edit it in one go, so I decided to take the story down for the meantime.
          
          When I look back at what I wrote, I thought to myself: "Wow. I wrote this? This is such substandard shit with no life in it." So yeah, as short as it was, I decided to write better characterization.

If anyone's reading my ToG fic, I'll be making some changes. It's been a while and after reading some of the more recent chapters, I feel like I can take stuff in a direction different from what I originally planned.

Some updates coming up:
          
          1) I'm taking the JLPT N4 in around 6 weeks and after that I expect some degree of freedom for a while (maybe), so you might hear from me soon.
          
          2) Unfortunately, for the near and forseeable future, I might not be writing anything related to COTE. This is due to the fact that I have not touched anything COTE for the vast majority of the year. I have written some stuff for the next Returners chapter but I might just wait until Y3 before I write anything more.
          
          3) I have a new fanfic planned and am currently writing a chapter. Unfortunately, it's not COTE, but it is of a rather well-known fandom.  It's rather action-oriented so I hope I can do it some justice. (Hint: It's not Japanese in origin).

Just an update on what's been going on with my stories.
          I'm not in (much of) a funk anymore but I've been really busy (yeah yeah, same old same old) learning Japanese (I'm taking the next JLPT N4 exam). In addition, my interest in COTE has been at an all time low (until something really big happens).
          
          If I ever do go back to writing, it'll strictly only be for Returners and maybe the quality will be a lot lower since I'll be releasing without much beta (meaning you might see awkward sentences, spelling mistakes, etc that I miss).
          
          I do have half of the next chapter written but it's not really at a point where I can even partially release it. Maybe sometime this year.... maybe.

Dude…. You updating returners
          

I don't want to sound pesky at all, but I was wondering if The Returners fanfiction was discontinued?

I updated my personal discord link (available for 7 days).
          Occasional writing streams for updating and writing (mostly on Returners for now. Secrets gonna take a backseat for a while due to time-constraints).
          Maybe even reactions on other fanfics.

Returners Prologue has been updated and edited with new content (and some content being deleted).
          
          Other chapters will be edited in turn when I get around to them.

Returners likely to get some updates soon (probably edits deleting parts).
