New post from Soonkki

Hello, this is Author Soonkki.
I am more nervous than ever as I write the opening greeting for this announcement once again.
Rather than repeating announcements with no set timeline whenever my return keeps getting postponed or delayed, I felt it would be better to be honest now. Therefore, I am posting this announcement regarding *End-of-the-Century Green Apple Tutoring Academy*. I apologize for the long wait.
I have had various personal issues during my hiatus, but to get straight to the point,
Due to prolonged work and burnout, my current physical condition is not as good as I had hoped.
During the break, I tried not to focus solely on work and made sure to get enough rest, exercise, pursue hobbies, travel, and maintain my daily life.
I thought that resting for a long time would help, but I realized too late that it wasn't just a matter of simple rest. Currently, I am attending a hospital and undergoing treatment while controlling my diet.
I do not have a major illness; rather, my internal organs and nerves have been exposed to inflammation for a long period, causing significant problems with my daily life and physical strength.
That is why it seems it took a long time to identify the cause.
In my case, while serializing my work, I generally worked over 10 hours a day, meeting weekly deadlines with almost no days off.
This was entirely due to my own ambition to draw better and show more of my work, and it seems that pushing myself that hard has resulted in my current physical condition.
Currently, a few hours a day is my limit, and it is difficult to sustain this every day.
So, to be honest, returning to the same weekly serialization pace as before has become difficult for me.
Aside from the fact that recovery takes time, it is also because the total amount of work I can handle with my physical strength has decreased significantly over time.
I also felt a fear that if I continued to work in the way that was possible with sheer determination in the past, I might no longer be able to do the work of a writer at all.
During the hiatus, I deliberated on various options, such as changing the manuscript format or revising the ending, in an attempt to find a way to wrap things up quickly.
However, driven by my desire not to let this work end in a mess, I was ultimately unable to reach a clear conclusion.
Therefore, I am unable to make a precise promise at this time regarding when or in what form this work will be returned to you.
In truth, it is difficult for me to even ask you to wait, but I would like to take this opportunity to assure you that I have not given up on my love for this work.
I will make decisions regarding the serialization method and future direction of this work after thorough consultation with Naver.
Since I do not wish to give up on creative work at the moment, I am focusing on my treatment while continuing to deliberate on this project.
In addition, I am gradually trying out other projects that I can handle within my current physical capacity.
I understand if you leave out of disappointment. Nevertheless, if you can look upon my shortcomings and keep this in a corner of your heart, I hope that after forgetting about this work for a while, we can meet again as welcome news in the midst of our daily lives. And if you enjoy this story again when that time comes, that would be my greatest happiness and reward.
I will also try to occasionally post updates on my daily life or simple drawings on Instagram.
Thank you always from the bottom of my heart.
