Hey guys, first of all, I'm sorry for the long absence. As for what happened, I'm not going to sugarcoat it or make excuses. Basically I didn't expect the story to gain as much followers as it did, and along with that, the criticisms. Reading them hurt, but they really showed me there were lots of problems with the story and my writing. Combine that with some personal stuff, I found it harder and harder to write, until I just got burnt out. At first I wanted to fix the story but I didn't know where to start, I pretty much froze. During that long absence, I did a lot of studying, reading, and thinking. I even started a new story to 'refresh' my mind. And that's what I've been focusing on until now. To be honest, until now, I still struggle to think about my first story, but seeing how many people were interested in it, and seeing your comments, I realized I still would like to continue writing it, maybe not right now but I still do. For now, I decided to upload the 14 chapters on my Patreon that's not yet uploaded to RR. I know that wouldn't be enough to make up for my long silence, but I still hope all of you can forgive me. Thank you for reading to the end.

P.S. Sorry if this is too messy, I just wrote everything going in in my mind right now!
