Author's Note:
Hey everyone, I'm really sorry for the sudden pause in updates. I'm currently traveling and don't have enough free time to properly write both this novel and my other ongoing one.
I promised myself I wouldn't drop any novel just because one is doing better than the other—and I still stand by that. I don't want to be the kind of author who gives up just because things are slow.
However, my other novel is part of the Win-Win New Novels section, which is a time-sensitive opportunity, so I've decided to focus on that one until I return.
That said, I want to be very clear—this novel is not dropped.I'll be back to writing it as soon as my schedule opens up again.
Thanks so much for your patience and support.– Author
