I know you have your own personal life, and I completely respect that. But after all these years, would it really take that much time to let your readers know whether you'll continue this book or not?
It's honestly heartbreaking when a book is left unfinished without any update. We spent so much time reading, voting, commenting, and supporting it because we truly believed in your story. It feels like your loyal readers were forgotten.
If the hate comments affected you, I'm truly sorry you had to go through that. But please remember that there were also readers who genuinely loved your work. Some of us even spent our real money to get early access to the chapters because we believed in this book and wanted to support you.
If you've decided not to continue, please just tell us. We'd rather have an honest answer than keep waiting for years with no update. This was the first book I ever read here, and it will always be special to me. That's why the silence hurts so much.
