I understand very well, and while I haven't been able to connect with Chaos' Heir on as much on a deep level as BOTDS, the "same same but different" mindset of Khan vs Noah's has honestly been a beautiful reflection and genuinely helpful to read during my personal evolution, in reality. I entirety understand, not the specifics, but the repercussions being overwhelmed and life getting messy all at once, just exactly at the perfectly wrong time. Without spilling my guts, I am currently in a similar boat where my life just took a turn for the better and I'm having a hard time keeping up with it. The rewards of being able to hold onto my current situation are not anything crazy, but fits me and my life wonderfully. It has been a lot more work and effort than ive put into anything in a LONG time and, honestly very hard to maintain. I'm burnt out, scabbed up, got a burn healing, trying to keep on top of everything external, I've been letting myself go, thus making things harder on myself. I've thought about giving up so many times, more times than I have in YEARS (actually, literally JUST BEFORE I stumbled upon BOTDS!), but I want what I have worked so hard to obtain and, I feel the "Noah" in me would choose his pride alone and bail and figure it out alone. However, the "Khan" in me has been taking his two seconds and thinking about the repercussions of giving up and soldiering on. Point being, not only do I love your stories from the heart. You are a beautiful soul and sound like you aim to be just as strong as your work. As an author and the person who I see through your writing, I believe in you and will read your stories, always. I can't say I'm not sad when I open WN to no new chapter, I can say, "I understand life happens. being yourself back to peak and hit us with a banger, as you always do.~~~Success doesn't take a whole lot<, or even a little, success takes EVERYTHING~~~
honestly, I was thinking this as I read that line, too đđđ
this literally made my eyes wide and re read it a couple times. this is beautiful đ§Ą
on the other hand, as someone who has spent a decent amount of money in donations, I'd like to say that I appreciate your work and am contributing to you as an artist that I enjoy and want to see thrive for the joy your stories have brought me (getting kinda into chaos heir, too), not just paying for mass production of chapters. it may or may not be like this but, eve, you have no obligation to us over your personal wellbeing. we can wait if you're overwhelmed. we'll gladly take more chapters if that's where you're at tho :3
I've tried to remain quiet about the dispute between readers and eve. let him do what he thinks is right for his book. yes, we all (for the most part) pay and contribute to his work. thats our choice. this is still eves work and, as someone who relates to and loves this work deeply since I found it, id be upset if he got burnt out and quit but all artists, writers included, have their own methods. it may not make sense or seem reasonable to all of us but he's creating and sharing his work for us. be grateful we have had as much as we had to enjoy and he hasn't stopped. don't like it, don't read it. he's a big boy, let him live his life and just enjoy what we get.
I know caesar wants to help Noah to, in turn, help heaven and earth. I think there's more to it. I think he REALLY wants Noah to DEFEAT heaven and earth, not empower them by offering a challenge, because he wants to absorb Noah in his final form and surpass both of them.
