ANNOUNCEMENT: I'm Sorry...

Hello... Giant Isopod here... 

I want to begin by thanking 184 of my followers - if it weren't for you guys, I wouldn't've even made it this far.

I have a good news and a bad news.

Some of you might be disappointed by this news, but... I've decided to put an end to this work of mine.

I'm very sorry.

Now you guys might be asking why I'm ending it here. Well, there are several answers to that.

One of the reason is due to my mental health - I've been going through some tough times and am suffering from occasional depression...

They're not crippling (go away, Idubbz), but they affect my work from time to time, but that's not really the excuse I want to put out to you guys about the poor quality in writing.

I carefully considered whether or not I should talk about what I've just stated, since I also hate people who just write on and on about how crippling their depression is, but I thought I ought to let you guys know every reasons why I'm quitting.

Again, it's not crippling to the point I can't do every day work, it's just that it sometimes get transferred into my papers is all. Not crippling, I'm alright.

Next is... overall quality of my writing. For some of you this may be a shock. I don't know how many of you guys gave me five star rating, but... I'm not really proud of this work.

Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more.

Let me be real honest here - I just dumped paragraph after paragraph from my brain when it was time to write.

Little amount of editing took place and really, I can't say anything more than that... I'm just not proud of the work.

Many of you pointed out that the characters are confusing - that's because they are.

These chapters were written so that they're progress a story rather than telling a story, if that makes sense.

Often the characters were twisted and changed just so that they would serve the purpose in the chapter rather than fitting their character niche.

I especially did that a lot with Donegal, or Nameless One, or Nameless King... I shifted character back and forth from time to time whenever I saw convenient.

And I really hated where I was going with Eve, who was going toward the direction I didn't want and turned out to be more whiny and whimpy than I imagined her to be. Again, I sacrificed her character for progression of story and romance.

Sometimes I just dropped whole bunch of information without any subtle foreshadowing or anything... just one character would blab away while others just listen on... and I did this so many times.

And I left out so many details and whatnot that the story became more like an article... I especially felt that way about chapter I, and that's really not good.

Long story short, I'm just not proud of this work, period, and I just didn't think that the story and mostly the characters would go anywhere if I continued.

...Now to the good news.

This story will be rebooted - I don't know when, but soon.

After getting over 20000 views and 180 followers, I didn't know what to think. This many people, and I don't know where to go with this book of mine...

So I'm rebooting it. It will have a similar starter, but it will focus much more on the details and characters. While the story progression will be a lot more smoother than this one.

And I will also upload alot more frequently once I do.

I'm also working on a different novel than this one - it's a thriller this time.

I love you guys, thank you guys for support. 

I hope to see you again, and with the best wishes, Goodbye.
