Hello, Rin here to get something off my chest:
          	
          	I have lost motivation to continue my series. And if I’m being honest it’s because writing them went from a passion to a chore. I don’t think a lot of you understand that asking an author to update doesn’t make them want to update. Call me sensitive, but when you get message upon message about ‘When are you gonna update’ you start to dread it. Sure you might be really nice about it but a writer doesn’t just sh*t out a story plot and post it. It takes OUR TIME and ENERGY. So if you wanna say something ENCOURAGE YOUR AUTHOR. Rather than SAYING ‘I demand you update’ or ‘plz update’ SAY ‘Hey! Keep up the good work I love this story!’ It makes it so they don’t feel pressure and it makes them HAPPY. Asking us to update, no matter how polite, can be very inconsiderate and stressful. If you don’t like the authors schedule or respect their life then go write you own book. 
          	
          	So for me, this means these books are no longer fun for me. That spark died. And I’m sorry if you genuinely liked the series and my writing but I just can’t anymore. I LOVE getting comments and messages from you guys but... I can no longer keep saying I’ll continue the books when I don’t WANT to. It’ll be rare to see any future updates from me at all from this point on. Thank you all for reading and I hope you can respect this choice of mine.
          	
          	~Rin

@TheMysteriousBanana God yeah, burn out hit me hard. Maybe no that summers hit I’ll find some sort of Will to write. It’s hard to produce content you aren’t proud of just because people want to see it. I was updating weekly for months so I can’t imagine two years. You truly are an inspiration because my attention span to any project is NOT that long.

@tiny_anime_lover I’m so sorry to disappoint. However, if I find the time, I was hoping to try and reboot my main series. I want to keep the consent but make it so the mystery aspect is inactive. I think it might be fun so we’ll see what the future holds :)

@Rin-egade Understandable. Not gonna lie, I’ve been going through the exact same problems. 
          	  
          	  Perhaps it’s just creative burnout but I guess once that initial high passes, writing about the same ol stuff for over two years straight gets old. Take your time, I’m sure people will understand.

Hello
          
          I just wanted to say thank you to you since if it wasn't for you than i would have never used wattpad in the first place and using wattpad made me really happy because i could read things i could enjoy so i just wanted to say thank and i know that your a former writer and inactive so you probably wont see this but thank you anyway

Autumn_Spring376

@Ringade Of course it's quiet all right, I had knew you were inactive so I doubt you would see it but here we are now. We all have something we had liked to do in the past but sooner or later we don't find as much joy in as it was before

Hey, you will probably never read this but the villain deku story "It's all in your head" is amazing. I cried. I have one question, did deku die? I'm sorry but I'm confused. It said that his vest was gone but he could hear screaming and crying, so I'm assuming that was his mom, but I don't know. Please help. Other than that it was amazing, I loved it so much. Ooh ٩(ര̀ᴗര́)ᵇʸᵉ

I am not sure who will see this, but if you do, Hi. It's me, the author. I wanted to pop in and say. . . Wow. Happy almost two year anniversary. Writing this out, I am sitting in the same spot I was, with the same computer, as I was two years ago when I posted my VERY first chapter. How crazy is that? It seems like an eternity ago honestly. So I wanted to revisit this page (I couldn't bring myself to access my old account. . . how sensitive haha). But this is one final thanks. One final bang from me. Over 700 thousand reads on a book I wrote on a whim with almost no plan. Just a way for me to get my words on paper. Many people ask me how I write the way I do, so as a final goodbye here is my secret for anyone who sees:
          
          I write how I think. I write things that are so absurd, so insane, so thoughtful while being thoughtless that they are indescribable and nonreplicable. I write the way I think after all. In these unpredictable ways. Many writers are careful, but I remember I was the most careless writer I knew. Nothing had reason, as long as it made sense to me. I still write to this day. I love writing. I love putting these hungry thoughts to words.
          
          And I'm glad some people gave my frivolous way of writing a chance. So thank you for reading. Thank you for watching me grow. Thank you for it all.

@Ringade I'm sorry I found your work too late to really say anything to you. But if you happen to get back on, your work has been *amazing* and *inspiring* to say the least. I really hope you continue to write, or find another outlet for your passion.  Best of luck in your journey!

Im so proud of your book. Its amazing. You should feel proud of yourself ^.^
          Honestly if i could write that i would be amzed but like reeeee my writing sucks but anyways feel proud and dont ever not be proud. You could grow up to be an amazing writer one day.

Ringade

@_Tweek_Tweak_ Haha, Thank you... At times I cringe at the book itself through it's errors and haste... part of me wants to rewrite it because of my improvement as an author. The other part of me would rather watch it burn. I started that book two years ago (time sure does fly). But thank you for reading.

@TheMysteriousBanana God yeah, burn out hit me hard. Maybe no that summers hit I’ll find some sort of Will to write. It’s hard to produce content you aren’t proud of just because people want to see it. I was updating weekly for months so I can’t imagine two years. You truly are an inspiration because my attention span to any project is NOT that long.

hello rin! i looove your villain deku series and i don’t mean to be pushy (very sorry if i am) but i was wondering if you’re going to update any time soon? i’m really enjoying the second book so far! i hope your art is going well as mentioned in your last update, and that you’re finding the inspiration to write again! (and that the quarantine is going well of course)

Pfff haha, it’s fine bro. I came up with my internet name as a pun before the renegade was a thing. It is a nod to renengade but not the dance. Now me and my friends make a lot of jokes about it so I’m cool with it!
