Hey guys, it's been a while. I'm not dead (though this account looks like it), might as well give a little update.
          	
          	 Time flies, I'm tired and busy, then motivation goes on strike.  Repeat, repeat, repeat. I would have wanted to wrap up my stories, but given the rate I'm updating at, well ya'll guessed my answer. Cyber War is literally one chapter away from completion and I have like half of it done. But for some reason I just couldn't find a good enough way to finish it well. The story has basically come to an end with the latest chapter, what happens after is easy to imagine. I had been working on the sequel to Mythical Guardians since 2020, and I'm still stuck in the first chapter. I had a clear flow of how everything is supposed to go and I was excited about it for a while. But then I was just tired of pouring my heart and soul out into original works that barely gets noticed. I'm tired of seeing tons of talented authors here with underappreciated works, and Wattpad getting gradually more monetized over time doesn't help either. What happens now is that I barely find the motivation to pick up a book and read, much less sit down for hours and write. I had so much passion for the worlds and characters that I created, and that motivation is slipping away day by day. Life changes you I suppose.
          	
          	  I still love to write don't get me wrong, and I'm genuinely happy to find readers still enjoying my books, you guys are my biggest support and the drive that keeps me going. I've had the thought of leaving Wattpad for a long time, but never really got around to doing it and establishing anew somewhere else. Maybe I'll come back with book updates and keep writing sometime in the future. But for the time being, not much is going to happen until I refind and reignite that intense passion. I still receive notifs and will respond to comments when I have the mood, but it will be pretty quiet around here as it had been for the last year or so.

@eldestreyne I'm happy to hear that, I try to keep things as un-cringy and realistic as possible (well as realistic as you can in a fantasy setting lol) and it's great you enjoy it! Do hope that I will be able to finish what I started someday haha. Thanks for the support!

@Bladewing683 oh hello. I know exactly what it’s like to pour everything into a book that no one likes. But me and your other 164 followers are all cheering you on. I love the way you write fantasy— it’s not cringy and emo nor unrealistic and hoity toity( for lack of a better adjective). Keep it up!

Hey Blade! Wassup! I hope you are ok. I'm still hoping for that Mythical Guardians sequel!

No worries, take your time. Quality writing takes a while. Keep it up!

@eldestreyne Hey! Sorry for the late reply, am really busy as of late and often too burnt out to write after I finish everything. It takes a lot of time to finish a set of chapters (I usually have at least 6 in reserve before I publish anything), and even more effort to maintain and elevate its quality. I do try to write when I can but it's been proving difficult the last two years so yeah. I'm happy you're excited about the sequel, but maybe it's going to take months or maybe even half a year or more before I get anything published if at all

I know what you're gonna say.
          
          " NO chapter for FOUR months? What the HELL Blade?!???"
          
            Sorry(again). This took way longer than I expected to finish. Been quite busy only until recently, then writer's block decided to hit. Needed some time to find the mood to continue the story and make sure it doesn't end up like trash.  But the good news is, no cliffhanger this time and the new chapter is out! The next update will be the last chapter of Cyber War and we can finally put an end to this 2 year long nightmare of a book where it took ages of planning and a shit ton of time for me to finish. Thanks for staying with me till the end.
          
          Until next time.

           There's a lot of bad news going on lately. Pray for Ukraine, and everyone in search for their freedom.

New Cyber War chapter! That one took so long to write, much longer than I expected since I didn't know I would get anywhere near this busy, but anyways, hope you guys enjoy! I'm currently working on the next one, and hopefully it would be finished and published soon. Again, thanks for all your support and patience! Really appreciate it and sorry for the long wait (again) XD

Hey blade! Haven't seen you in a while. I just wanted to remind you that your books are better than some published ones I've read. You deserve a lot  more recognition than you have. Also, this is late but how did you do on your exam a while back?

Qinter_is_yes

XD yea. I also need to work on graham mar for just about everything. And yea tests suck, I would want to not think about it to.

@Qinter_is_yes Hey mate! Lol thanks although I'm sure there's a lot I need to improve on *cough cough my grammar*. I guess publishing books of this genre on Wattpad also has something to do with it. Also, the exam worked out okay I guess, marks were lower than expected but mission achieved so I don't really wanna care about results anymore XD
