It's fine to take a break. you are the author. Your physical and mental health is much more important to real fans of your novel. And forcing yourself to release daily chapters may affect the quality of the novel too. please take care of yourself.

I recently rewatched the series for NWH and I dont think it should be Tobey . I think it would be okay to just create a new character for the role. Tobey didnt really go past Spiderman in terms of acting and I think it was mostly due to his acting chops imo. Or because of his offscreen personality which Molly's game player x was largely based off of (a book and movie but still a rumour). Either way what stood out to me in those series was the villains. I think the Sony games were the most successful at adapting the Spiderman and Peter Parker characters, peter wasnt so terribly awkward that he was hard to watch and Spiderman would give his quips here and there.

I didn't have a patreon so I didn't do the poll. I think if you do plan on doing the multiverse so that No Way Home still does the fanservice stuff (Tobey and Andrew) then it's fine to just use an animated spiderman (like the tv series) or even the Spiderverse spidermen because really Tobey was just for fan service and Andrew was both fan service and for emotional moments. Or maybe squish the two arcs together? Because I liked the chemistry of Peter and Glenn and I liked the villains of Tobey's. I also liked the Spiderman aspect of Andrews but I think Tobey's Peter could have been a little less awkward imo. He would just stare and MJ for a loooong time then smile. Ultimately, it's up to you and I trust your decision because the novel has been really good so far. Much better than I'm in Hollywood imo.

Honestly at this point I hope she never does...

I'm very sorry for your loss. I hope you and you family take care of yourselves during this difficult time. Please dont push yourself to upload any new chapters. While I can't speak to any other readers, please know that I will understand if you decide to take a long break and will be patiently waiting and hoping that you prioritize your safety and mental health.
