I Will Live My Life As A Slime With A Dark Elf Body As A Base!

An update to this series

Hi there, nice to meet all of you who are still reading this little novel that I made on a whim. I would love to say thank you for reading this novel and making it reach the heights that it has achieved. With that out of the way I would like to speak about the future and my plans about this web novel that I am writing.

I will say this out right: I do not enjoy writing this novel as much as I used to. I used to write this novel in the most carefree and nonchalant way possible, those first 10-12 chapters were really just me having fun breaking the norm of stories going in a certain flow and pace. And I did enjoy improving on my writing style and ideas at the time, from character dialogue, grammar (as many of you say) to large things happening within this novel. I love the world that I’ve built and every character inside of it. At the beginning of Chapter 28 I felt like I was no longer writing what I wanted but more so for entertaining all of you, it didn’t feel as enjoyable as it used to. And I feel more held back by this series than I’ve ever been.

This is no one’s fault but my own and I do apologize for the lack of chapters. I am so afraid nowadays to even find the courage to write a new entry in the series because my thoughts are usually: what if the chapter is bad, what if no one likes it, what if the stupid shit Yukiyo does isn’t funny anymore and people want more serious and grounded events to happen from now on, what if I have gone past my peak with the Elven Federation invasion. These are all thoughts I would love to put away but I am willing to be transparent with all of you who wait months for a single chapter to be released when two chapters used to be released in a week. My feelings and emotions towards this very series are negative and I do not want that. 

I do read the comments that my earlier and more carefree first chapters had, and I feel horrible reading them because I feel like I could do so much more. Hence why I even updated the prologue in the first place, I do plan on writing those chapters into their more definitive and fleshed out versions. I have felt that I write more so to check a list than actually do something new and fresh, something that I look back on and feel proud of doing. The fact that I feel more happy writing an edgy magical girl series more than my sweetheart of a novel concerns me greatly and I would love to change that.

If you have come this far in my little self talk then congrats I guess? I would usually write this in my dashboard but I feel like I am screaming in the void there. So what is the future for Dark Elf Slime going to be like then?

To be honest I am going to return to writing the series in the way I want. That means capturing the vibe and atmosphere of my first chapters with the upgraded format of the writing I am doing right now, that also means I will be more frequent with releases so it’s not months when I publish a chapter for you all. Once again I thank you for reading my series and hopefully I fall back in love with writing Yukiyo’s tale. Events in the story will be faster than before but this is the slime who constantly breaks common sense.

Thank you for your continued support.
