I genuinely enjoy writing this story, and I have no plans to stop anytime soon. However, writing two long-running fanfics takes a significant amount of time every week.
At the moment, this fic's growth has been almost nonexistent. If that continues for a long time, I may eventually have to focus more of my writing time on my other fic that's growing better. I'd rather be transparent about it now than have readers wonder why updates have slowed down or stopped.
This also isn't the first time I've added a note like this. I know many of you genuinely enjoy the story and have been incredibly loyal from the beginning, but it's easy to finish a chapter and simply forget to vote. That's why I occasionally leave these reminders.
I've never actually withheld chapters because of Power Stones, and I don't intend to. The few times I've joked or hinted about it were simply to remind you how important Power Stones are for a fic's visibility. Sometimes, though, it feels like the author's side of the story gets overlooked. Writing these chapters takes a significant amount of time, and I hope you can understand why I occasionally ask for your support.
If you're enjoying the story and would like to see it continue growing, the biggest thing you can do is support it with your daily Power Stones, add it to your Library, drop a review, leave comments, and recommend it to others. Those things genuinely make a difference.
Thank you to everyone who's been reading and supporting the fic. I truly appreciate it. ❤️
P.S. These little reminder notes are honestly pretty embarrassing for me to write. 😅 Here's hoping this reminder ages terribly and I never have to write another one.
