          RETURN CHAPTER: KANAZAWA

Since I'm a huge Hanamaru Kunikida fan.
          
          I want to offer a big congratulations to Kanako Takatsuki (King/Kinchan) for her recent marriage announcement, and say a huge thank you for her giving her talented voice to my precious daughter Hanamaru Kunikida, to which I'm eternally grateful.
          
          May the future be bright, zura.

12/25/24 - MIDNIGHT JST - ANNOUNCEMENT COMING

3 OF 3
          
          Now... As for Love Live on the other hand, I am still watching the Hasunosora series and studying how to write each of the girls. But as for putting writing on paper, I just can't do it. I am in no functional state to do so.
          
          But, I at least want to give a timeframe for when I'll return. Which brings me to my SECOND big announcement.
          
          Love Live Shatter will return in January 2025. I will be working only on this story from this moment forward. For continuity's sake, Oshi No Ko's lore will still play a part in that story, though it will not be a main focus.
          
          Why January?
          
          Because it's the start of 2025.
          
          Which...I am officially announcing it is my last year on Wattpad. Bringing my Love Live series to an end, and then I will retire, leaving the platform.
          
          My Love Live series will end in 2025.
          
          In January, I have faith that I will have a healthier mindset and will be able to work towards providing my Love Live series with the ending it deserves.
          
          As for Oshi No Ko: PHOENIX?
          
          Now it's your turn, @Katsuki_Ch.
          
          I won't provide any more updates until January, that's when the SecondRound retirement year begins. This is the last until then.
          
          Thank you all for your patience and respecting my wishes at this time.
          
          Signing out,
          
          SecondRound
          

2 OF 3
          
          After a lot of careful and considerate thinking, I've realized that dividing my attention between the two stories (Oshi No Ko and Love Live) is not good at all...
          
          Therefore, I've come to the decision to do something I've never done before and will never do again.
          
          As of this moment, I am announcing that I will be permanently transferring ownership of Oshi No Ko: PHOENIX to another author.
          
          The story is not canceled, it will continue, but... Not by me. I've fallen out of love with Oshi No Ko lately completely, and I cannot force myself to write something that I do not love anymore.
          
          Oshi No Ko: PHOENIX is not my story anymore, but on the bright side it is not canceled.
          
          I am handing over the story to the very talented and very capable hands of @Katsuki_Ch
          
          Who I know can carry a story with excellent quality, a hard worker who puts pride into their work and even creates their own excellent art through drawing.They will take this story forward into the future.
          
          My current chapters of Oshi No Ko: PHOENIX will remain published as a completed book, however it will now be referred to as the prologue arc, which leads up to Fenix's first meeting with Hikaru Kamiki.
          
          To summarize, Oshi No Ko: PHOENIX is no longer my story. It will continue under @Katsuki_Ch on their profile, so I very much recommend that you go check them out and follow them as they will be making a new book which continues the Oshi No Ko: PHOENIX story as the new owner/author.

          Hello everyone, it's been a month since I announced my hiatus. So, I wanted to provide an update.
          
          I'm not okay.
          
          I feel awful.
          
          Hell, the build up to making this post has made me feel sick...
          
          I still feel mentally detached from writing, and I don't see myself returning anytime this year.
          
          The pressure to write two stories to the standard that I expect them to be at, it's hell. It's had a horrible effect on my mental health to the point that I've contemplated quitting Wattpad altogether.
          
          But... I know I still have a story to finish, and to get this far without an ending would be devastating.
          
          At the same time, I know that upon returning, the pressure would get to me again, and then another hiatus, and the whole cycle repeats itself.
          
          So... Something needs to change.
          
          Which is why I have two big announcements going forward.

Hello everyone, I want to get something off of my chest. I've been doing a lot of thinking this past month but I think it's about time I just say it.
          
          I'm not happy.
          
          It's been apparent for a while, but, I'm not happy. I haven't felt happy for a while. It shows in my lack of updates recently that I really feel unhappy. Which is bad, because I want to feel happy doing this, but I can't.
          
          I don't know what to write next for either of my stories, and I feel awful...
          
          I'm trying to study the Hasunosora episodes, but I'm failing tremendously.
          
          Plus knowing and being reminded that people are waiting for the next chapters is a constant pressure on me, as I know I'm letting everyone down.
          
          Because I'm expected to provide something I just can't create.
          
          So, because of all of this I'm taking a long break. I don't know when I'll be back, but for now I'm done.
          
          I'm sick and tired of letting everyone down by not publishing chapters. So I might as well remove the expectations of that. So please don't expect any new chapters anytime soon.
          
          I repeat.
          
          For now, I'm done.
          
          So while I'm gone, don't ask me how I am or when I'll be back. Please, just leave me alone and please follow other authors and their updates instead.
          
          I'll be back stronger, I'm sure of it. And I'll be able to carry these stories again with a newfound mindset.
          
          But I've got a lot of self-improvement work to do first.
          
          As for what comes next, I do not know how to write it yet in a way that would be good.
          
          Love Live: HASUNOSORA ARC & AKI'S TRAINING.
          
          Shatter: FENIX'S RECOVERY AND REBUILD.
          
          These are the arcs that will be next.
          
          But once again, I repeat, I am done for now, please do not ask me how I am or when I'll be back.
          
          I'm sorry that I can't put out any good chapters right now.
          
          Thank you all.
