Chapter 22: Zero Path: Uzumaki Return
Hey guys, it's been five years. First of all, I like to apologise to you all for dropping this fanfic. I had my reason for doing so, and couldn't help but leave everyone hanging. I'll get straight to the point, since it saves a lot of time.
1. Back then, I was still a university student. Trying to chase my degree in Graphic Design, the workload overwhelms me greatly despite my love for writing.
2. I was too rushed with the story, upon reaching 20 chapters, I realise the path of growth for Nura Uchiha was cut off prematurely. The character gains a lot of powerful abilities, but nothing unique. The world-building opportunity was also cut short due to my rashness, and I used a time skip to close the gap instead of letting it flow.
3. Lack of emotional nuances within the story and sensory grounding.
4. I tend to assume everyone is living inside my head, so most of the details that need explanation and elaboration were ignored due to my carelessness.
5. Instead of connecting the missing dot within the Naruto Canon, I just use the original plot line as a basis for my story, lacking the creativity of a true Author.
This is my reflection, after reading all the negative comments, and thanks to that, it pushed me to reflect and develop my skills as an Author. Now I am seeking to create my Original Story, but before that, I feel like I should give you all a heartfelt apologise.
Still, I decided to create a new Naruto Fanfic to compensate for my past mistake and along the way show my skill as an Author and write an enjoyable Fanfic that is truly unique and stands out from the rest. This new fanfic, 'Zero Path: Uzumaki Return', still has the Overpower MC that you all know and love. But this time, it will be overpowered done right.
I am seeking to become a Truth Author, so this will be my first trial of showing you how far I have come on this journey. If I can't even do a fanfic right, then my future of writing my book will be incredibly bleak. Each of the chapters of this new book will be at least 2000 words up to 3000 words, think of it as my compensation for you guys. Nevertheless, I could only drop one chapter a day as I still have to work on my Original Story.
What I can promise you all is that I will oversee this fanfic to completion. Other than emotional compensation, I have already invested too much time in it. Having over 50 chapters in reserve, and each of them is over 2000 to 3000 words. Another important thing is that I have already noted all the plot points for the character's growth to completion. Meaning, I will just need to write down my thoughts and edit the daily chapter for you all to enjoy.
Normally, I would feel like I already see everything within the story and how it gonna end, but as I write past 50 chapters, I realise its potential. How do I say this? I didn't enjoy my previous fanfic as it reached a dead end, but this one is different. I am having fun while writing and editing it.
So I hope you all give me a chance and become part of my journey again. If you make it past 5 chapters ( excluding the prologue), I am confident that you will love this fanfic. My confidence? It is so different from others out there due to its originality, which did not clash with the Original Naruto Story.
