Hello, everyone.
When I first started Magic Spirits, I was so excited by the idea of blending a gangster-like personality with a mage, beings usually known for their intelligence and nobility.
The contrast of those two identities felt fresh and unique, and I thought it would bring something different to the table.
Some of you enjoyed this blend, which I deeply appreciate, but I've also noticed that others found it frustrating—especially the way Vaan relied on his family influence or came across as childish at times.
While I still believe in the core idea of the story, I started second-guessing the execution and with university classes, other commitments like SHGS, and life in general, I wasn't able to dedicate the time or energy to the story anymore.
Unfortunately, this has led to Magic Spirits going on hiatus.
To be transparent, I can't make any promises about when—or if—it will return. Restarting the story would require rethinking its structure and re-plotting from the ground up, which is a big commitment.
I'm also unsure if there's still a strong readership for this story.
For now, please consider Magic Spirits to be paused indefinitely. If I ever pick it up again, I'll be sure to let you all know.
Thank you for your understanding, and I'm sorry for going silent for so long. Your support means the world to me, and I hope to bring you stories in the future that you'll truly enjoy.
Warm regards,
