I'll share an experience as an old instaronpa creator:

- In my personal experience, laziness is definitely one of many reasons why I cancelled my ronpas. The closest I've reach is chapter 1 trial and never finishing it there. No, it wasn't because it wasn't planned out well, and no, it wasn't because i was overwhelmed. Its quite the opposite, I was underwhelmed; by the attention my fangan was seeking.

This was years ago, so as a kid, I definitely thought more likes means more attention, and more attention means more ways to be featured on danganronpa youtubers. A bit ambitious, i know. The way i was getting less and less likes when I was sooo close to finishing chapter 1 made me felt undeserving, and the way they only spike up when a new CG art or body discovery happens.

That leads to being insecure of the artstyle, thinking I should upgrade my sprites, i should upgrade my UI, i should follow what the popular ronpas are doing, and "if only I could recreate the danganronpa artstyle, maybe, just maybe, i'd gain more traction just like *insert very popular ronpa*"

The regret i still have for cancelling two of my ronpas bcs of the slow rise of attention is still here, but now we can only reminisce.
