#not otome
Notice
better late than never, but this is just to say that the otome-centric content on this blog is going on an indefinite hiatus.
To be more precise, I won’t be posting any *new* Ikevamp/Ikesen related stuff in the foreseeable future. Tho I’m thinking of reblogging my older stories/hcs in the meantime but I just haven’t gotten around to scheduling it. I also haven’t caught up with the manhwa I used to read ever since MangaDex went down so it’ll be a while (a month or two?) before i post new stuff here again.
I’ve put a small Q&A below in case if anyone’s actually curious tho it’s just personal stuff really
- Did something happen?
Well, lots of things have been happening since I made this blog, though sometimes some unexpected things happen and for me I just hit the last straw. In the end, once one becomes involved with people it becomes impossible for one not to slowly lose interest in something if unpleasant things keep on happening for the most inane, ridiculous reasons.
So the people factor is one… another reason is that I’ve started to find some of the event stories repetitive (?) or maybe the premise of these stories just doesn’t interest me as much it used to. I also buy the epilogues for my faves mostly and it just doesn’t make me feel the same way as it used to. I’m also not interested in any of the future routes to be released (it’s gonna take… a year before Vlad comes out? and I’m not really updated with the route release schedule for ikesen but I’m not into Motonari nor Keiji whom apparently are the next 2 routes, so…)
- So what have you been up to lately?
Studies as usual tho I picked up a new interest where I devote pretty much all of my free time. With that said, the next time this blog becomes semi-active again it will most likely be centered more around my new interest + me catching up to manhwas and me giving my reactions/thoughts as I read along.
As for Ikemen series content… I’ll be honest but the probability of me actively and actually *writing* content for it ever again is just… kinda low, really. Maybe a Vlad route/Kenshin eternal route will change my mind? Who knows. Memes/incorrect quotes are more probable, but it’ll most likely be done on a whim/if I happen to come up with ideas that would actually fit.
So… that’s all for now? Thanks for reading.
I haven’t been writing much otome content lately because I’ve been working on two original stories.
The first is a dark/supernatural romance where a girl in her twenties struggling with mental health issues has a near death experience and meets the grim reaper that came to collect her soul.
The other is a steampunk romance about a wild girl that comes home from college for the summer to find out her parents have arranged a marriage with a cold and arrogant young man from a wealthy family.
The love for fictional characters is real. I hope someday people will love the characters I’ve created as much as I love others.
