I haven't abandoned the story, I just stopped updating it on Webnovel. currently it is going through a longer than expected rewrite. The most up to date version is on Scribblehub.

I am glad you are enjoying it so far. I have been thinking about rewriting the side story as I am not entirely happy with them anymore. I will likely leave this up to a vote on scribblehub and Royal Road (can you do polls on webnovel?)
