Okay, enough with the sarcasm.
We have to start off first by clarifying what I've mentioned in Chapter 51. Yes, the main plot for "Days of Exile" is over. Remember how I mentioned in this post that I've got this "brilliant plan" of writing Meia's story starting from the time that Reno found her, to the events after Dirge of the Cerberus?
Well, more than three years later, I must admit. I'm tired. My brain juices are dry from expecting this same plot chicken to lay eggs... excuse my metaphor. I kinda regret that after three years, my readers just stopped reading. It's really... sad and weird at the same time. I never stopped updating. Yes, I delayed the schedule pretty often, but I tried my best to upload one every two months, at least. Then again, I can't exactly fault my readers. I was reading some fics on my own too. Then, life got busier and I gave up reading the fanfiction of others in order to keep up with my own update schedule.
So seriously? It's sad that many of my readers would never have finished
this story. Not any that have told me about. Lesson learnt. From now on, never
make any stories more than 40 chapters, because nobody's got that kind of
stamina, huh? But like what Veld said in the coming Chapter 52, I could not done it
any better. Honestly, I’ve delivered all that I've wanted for the main plot and
I’m ready for a new start.
So again, what now? Where am I going with this?
The final plan that I had in mind but did not tell you (refer to the post once again) was to finish up Days of Exile (including the chapters that you are going to see). Then, I'll start a brand new
story in the same world that I've created, but with different OC as protagonists. Meia and all that has happened to her will be the 'fact' in the new story, but I will write assuming that none of my readers have read "I Want To Be A Turk" or "Days of Exile". It's not needed because it's a brand new story.
However, as I continued to write, I decided that even with a brand new story, it won't be good. I’ve hankered around this world long enough. I mean, it's been close to 3 and a half years since I started "I Want To Be A Turk!" It is high time for me to write something completely different. So… unfortunately, the
story of Meia will really end once Days of Exile reaches the end that I want.
The purpose of continuing after Chapter 51 with random chapters is because I want to show you the snippets and plans that I initially had after Days of Exile, if it had continued. I do not want to make up new plots just to arrive at the ideas that I had. So... timeskips are going to be used.
I hope that my final answer is the answer that everyone is looking for. It has been one of the most epic stories I've written, and I won't ever forget the joy and satisfaction I get from writing this beauty. However, enough is enough. I do not want to keep riding on this past glory that I had. I want to continue to explore my writing capacities and improve.
Will I ever want to write that brand new story that I initially planned? Of course I want to. However, I doubt it will happen. I said before that I will continue some of my older stories, but I never did. I will not make empty promises like that anymore.
Meia is not the only one who has grown up.
Alrighty, I hope that your doubts are clear with this. I wanted to post this at a later date but oh well... I decided to spare you the suspense.
All I ask is to be with me and support me until this story's final breath.
