Agreed... a lot like rarity. Though rather distinct personalities

I can't think of any better way to put it than PrometheusDark did.

I wish you well and hope you find your way.

Rest in spaghetti, never forgetti

Take your time to find your drive. Writing is a passion, not an obligation. I'll patiently await the day you continue to write more great stories.

Thank you for updating us readers on the situation, and thank you for sharing this story with us.

To be honest yeah it sucks that the story is being discontinued but if you don't have the motivation for it than it's for the best. I wholeheartedly wish you the best in your future endeavors. I'll definitely keep an eye out for any story you come up with

Take all the time you need man. As far as I'm concerned you are definitely one of the better writers on this site. Looking forward to what you come up with!

Not going to lie, this kinda sucks. I fully understand your reasoning having been in your shoes myself and knowing how hard it can be to micromanage every little thing in your life on top of your hobbies is difficult to say the least.

Sadly, it doesn't make it any easier to accept considering how much I enjoyed this story having followed it throughout the years. Nonetheless this is a labor of love, not profit, and you don't owe us anything. You do what's best for yourself as a person and if you feel like coming back to this story someday know that we'll be waiting.

I hope that with whatever you choose to pursue next that you find that fire again and continue to keep writing and creating. Focus on yourself, and who knows maybe that spark will come back. Look forward to whatever to decide to work on next.

while the news saddens me, I completely understand where you are coming from.

There are a couple of stories I have that I feel will get the same treatment. In the end you do what is best for you. no matter what you write I will read. thanks for the stor hope one day you will revisit this pairing soon.

That is totally fine. Remember that it is your story and you decide what to do with it. I can say I enjoyed the story as far you have written it. But you are a bit like Michelangelo the sculptor, who said to one of his students: "You might not be able to see a problem with my work, but I do!"
Work that is done, but not done to your standards and makes you feel unsatisfied is unmotivating.
So I'll be looking forward to see what will happen in the new iteration of this pairing.

please do a spin off or something of this story. its a good read, also I hope you are still writing.

Re-reading again since it's just sooooo good. :)

Looking forward to the next chapter

When the story comes out of a 1 year hiatus and goes into another 1 year hiatus

And again...umm what? I get that the chapter was avout giving Lissa and Robin some space but why again was the army tactitian forbidden to acompany his army to what is probably the biggest battle of the war? He was blacklisted, kill on sight? Isnt that the same for every single soldier of the oposite faction in time of war? And is that not more of a reason to bring tactitian with you rather than leave him defensless and useless mind you someplace else. Why couldnt they share these moments on the way to battle or afterwards? I dont want to make light of your work here, it is a good read but these things just dont male sense to me :(

So far so good. But honestly what is up with this chapter? How was Robin running away like coward? Why was he running away and why was he alone? Also why in the hell was Maribelle mad at him? He gets injured in the battle because everybody is after him and nobodywas with him and she slaps him for it? Umm okay? Very, hearwarming i guess? It would make sense if he like ran away trying to lead the enemy away from the rest of sheperds when he noticed they were aftee him or something like that, than Maribelle would have reason for being angry, but as it is it makes no sense. Also why is the fact that Emm just died completely ignored by them here, it just doesnt feel right. No offence meant, thanks for writing. Just wanted to get these questions out :)
