#TPWM update
Note
Hey... hi don't wanna sound rude or anything but are you going to update the Problem with Mondo ? No pressure to say yes ! I'll understand if you don't want to !! After all you have another fanfic in progress or you maybe just don't want to write it anymore and that's fine, i just want to know.
Hope you have a good day !
Hi!! No worries, it wasn’t rude at all! Honestly, I’ve been waiting for someone to ask about TPWM.
So. Short answer: I’ve given up on writing TPWM for the foreseeable future. And I wouldn’t hold out hope on me continuing, because I’ve grown a bit disenchanted with the whole series. I’m hoping that with time and distance I’ll grow fond of it again, but for now, the story has been discontinued.
Now, I DO still have one last chapter, but I’ve been struggling to even edit it, because I keep seeing errors and have been struggling to fix them. I think I’ll post it even despite the errors soon, but I’ve been so busy between work, internship, and school, I just don’t have time or energy. I actually had considered posting on Taka’s birthday, but there were a lot of terrible things that happened that week (one of which was my older brother getting COVID right before he was going to head out to PAX West, something he’d been looking forward to for almost a year. Luckily he tested negative quick enough to go to the last two days, but it was a stressful weekend).
I really am sorry about this!! I’ve honestly been struggling to write lately, but have gotten inspired to write for an old WIP of mine, so I want to keep focused on the things I am interested in, not the things I’m waning in interest on. I haven’t written the fic off entirely, but considering the story has been finished with TPWP, it’s my least priority at the moment. Plus, each chapter is just too long. It’s draining to write. -.-
Anyway, thanks for the ask!! ^-^

The Problem With Mondo update
HEY GUYS!! SO, YA KNOW HOW I SAID I'D POST THE NEXT CHAPTER OF TPWM A COUPLE WEEKS AGO??? BUT THEN I DIDN'T???? HAHA, THINGS GOT HECTIC AGAIN AND THAT GOT PUT ON THE BACKBURNER. AGAIN.
BUT!!! I FINALLY GOT AROUND TO WRITING OUT THE AUTHOR'S NOTE FOR THE BEGINNING AND THE END, AND I DID THE BASIC EDITING I HAVE TO DO FOR EVERY CHAPTER, LIKE ADDING THE ITALICS AND CROSS OUTS.

OMG, I completely forgot that I was gonna post the next chapter of TPWM on the 23rd 😫😫😫
I’m sorry y’all! This week has just been chaos, oof. First my mom caught COVID last week, and just when she tested negative and we thought we were in the clear, my dad tested positive. And since I was in close contact with him the day before he tested positive, I was positive I’d caught it as well. Apparently I didn’t, but it was a stressful week, since I work with kids and it was stressful trying to figure out if I should go into work or not. On top of all that, I have been writing a new fic for a different fandom, not to mention I’ve started learning how to crochet, both of which has taken up all of my remaining attention recently. As such, it completely slipped my mind that I had said I’d post on the anniversary of TPWP and TPWM.
Unfortunately, I’m going on vacation tomorrow and I don’t think I’m going to have time to finish editing the chapter today. And since I’ve not edited this chapter even once, I need to do it to get as many typos as I can. As such, I don’t know when I’ll be posting. I hope by the end of the week, but… I honestly don’t know.
Sorry, everyone!! I’ll keep y’all posted about when I think I’ll be able to post. Worst case scenario, I’ll just post without editing, hoping for the best. It’s not ideal, but… I’m finding that I’m unfortunately losing interest in TPWM, the process of writing and editing it being much more of a drag than it used to be. Now that I’m in a new fandom that’s taking up my attention, it’s harder for me to get the inspiration to work on TPWM. I still am hoping to finish it one day, but… it may be longer than I ever intended. Which I really am sorry for. Though, I have written nearly a million words for this series, so it’s not like I’ve not put a hell of a lot of time and effort into it, so… I dunno. We’ll see, I guess.
Thanks for all the support y’all have given me over the years! It really does mean a lot to me.

TPWM Update
Hey everyone! Merry Christmas and Happy Last Night of Chanukah!
So, I just wanted to give a brief update for TPWM. I had mentioned in the last chapter that I would try to post today, but while I did edit the chapter, I spent most of today in bed, since I haven't been sleeping well recently (on purpose, ha. I'm detoxing from my sleeping meds since I'm off work and school and I wanted to see if going a week without my meds would help the meds work better when my internship starts in a couple weeks). Because of that, I'm a bit too tired and lethargic to deal with posting today.
However! I'm still off work and school for the next week, so I'll hopefully be able to get the chapter up tomorrow. ^-^
On a good note, I actually finished a one shot Ishimondo WIP I've had on the backburner for a while now! Technically I have a second chapter I'm still writing for it, but it's not really needed for the story to be published, I don't think. I still have editing to do, but I'm hoping to get it out by the New Year if I can. It's an enemies to lovers (not enemies to friends to lovers, FYI) no despair AU. It has explicit content in it, but it's not super explicit, I'd say. It currently has no name or summary, but I'm excited to get it out. I have so many WIP Ishimondo stories in my notes that finishing one seems like a miracle.

TPWM Update
Y'all!!! Guess what???
I finally finished chapter 23 of TPWM!!! Yay!!!
Ahh, this has been a long time coming, ha. It still needs a LOT of editing, since I struggled with writing it in places, but honestly, as long as it is written down, I can work with it. Honestly, I'm mostly just glad I was able to finish it before the end of November! I knew I prolly wasn't going to be able to write a full 50,000 words for NaNoWriMo (fanfic edition, ha), not with school, but I was able to write about 20,000 AND finish a chapter I've been struggling with for months. I already had about 8,000 word written before November started, so chapter 23 has ended up somewhere around 28,000 words. Which is almost double chapter 24 of TPWP. Which is... yeah.
Honestly, I think TPWM has a good shot of reaching 500,000 words. It's currently at about 392,000 words according to my word document with all chapters. Which is... yeah. 🙃 The Problem Series is probably going to reach 1,000,000 words, too. It currently has 824,541 words according to AO3, and when you add the two chapters I've not published, it brings it up to about 870,000. And I may have other one-shots to add some day, if the inspiration strikes. So, if anyone manages to read all of The Problem Series, you will likely end up reading something that is at least close to a million words. You're welcome 😅😅
The funniest part of all of this is that I would NEVER be able to read even a fraction of The Problem Series. I don't even know if I'd have been able to finish TPWP, though I do honestly really like that fic. Because, while I did have to read it over and over for editing, it was not usually in order. I've also always struggled to get past chapter 14 when I try to read through the fic again. Not because I don't like it, but mostly because I'm just not the kind of person who can read long fics like this, especially not in one go. Which makes it the biggest irony that I've written almost 1,000,000 words for one single fanfic idea. I still don't know how 😅
Anyway, just wanted to give this update and commentary. I don't know when I'll post chapter 23, but I don't think it'll be any earlier than March, to give me time to edit it and maybe build up some other chapters. I'm going to try starting chapter 24 soon, maybe tonight since getting the motivation to START a chapter is always the hardest, ha. ^-^

Hey guys! So, bad news. As was stated in the last chapter of TPWM, I was hoping to post chapter 21 today if possible. Unfortunately, it does not seem like I'll be able to post today. Not only is my class this month really hard (it's my thesis class, which means I've got a lot of writing to do. And I mean a LOT. And, due to how my program is designed, I only have two months to write the literature review part of my thesis, not to mention a lot of other pointless writing assignments. Now, I'm a quick writer so it's not that big of a problem, it's just a lot), but I've not been sleeping well recently. As such, I've not had much time to edit this last month.
I will do my best to edit the chapter this week and post sometime within the week. Hopefully tomorrow, but if not, then probably I'll wait until next week, since every other day this week I've got something going on. Despite Thanksgiving happening here in the US this week, which usually gives students the week off, I don't have a break from school. -.- I do have a break from work, though, which is something. But between school and Thanksgiving things, I won't have much time, sadly.
Anyway, just wanted to give people a warning in case y'all were wondering! On a good note, I have gotten a lot of TPWM chapter 23 written! That's the main reason I was unable to edit chapter 21, since any free time I had was spent writing chapter 23, ha. I'm about halfway done with the chapter, I think, and I'm not sure if I can finish by the end of November like I'd hoped, but it should at least be mostly done... I hope, ha.

TPWM update
Hey guys! So, I was doing my best to get the next chapter of TPWM out today, but I'm really feeling very tired. I edited all of the chapter on my phone, but now I have to add all the little last minute things on the computer, like adding in all the italics and strike-throughs and whatnot, which I'm just... not able to do. Not to mention adding a note at the beginning of the chapter.
So, I'm going to wait until tomorrow to post. Sorry!
On a good note, one reason I was later with editing this chapter is because I've been writing more of the next chapter I need to write, chapter 23! For the first time in months I had the inspiration to write, so I got down all of the intro to that chapter. It's really not much, and I'm going to need to edit it extensively (I'm not happy with how it's written, unfortunately), but at least it's down. It's so much easier to edit "bad" work than having to write "good" work right off the bat, you know?

No update today! Sorry!
Hey guys! So, as the title says, I'm not going to update today, but don't worry! I will be posting soon. I just wanted to post on Taka's birthday (which is Wednesday), and I know I don't have the time to post two chapters this week. So, I figured waiting a little would be best. I'm also a bit behind with editing this chapter, so giving myself a few more days will make my life easier.
Now, since I'm here, I'm going to bring something else up... I'm almost out of chapters to post. Next chapter is 17, and I only have chapter 22 written so far. And thanks to my illness and my general lack of desire to write, I don't know when I will finish chapter 23, let alone the rest of this fic. What this means is that in a couple of months, I will be taking a fairly long hiatus before the next chapter gets posted. I've mentioned this many times before, but since we're getting closer and closer to the date, I figured I'd give out another reminder. I am sorry about this, and it's the main reason I usually wait to post my fics until the fic is done, but if I did that we might have been waiting years here. I do still want to finish TPWM, but it's just been hard recently.
I am taking a break from school for the next two months (not for any bad reason, just I am going to visit friends in Vancouver next month and wanted to take September off, but while my grad program usually has one class per month, September's class is a two month class and the next class is only offered in November. Thus, a two month break), so I'm hoping I'll have more energy then? But I have no idea, really. I'll keep updating y'all on here from time to time, and I'll keep posting random posts, so at least y'all will know I'm alive and all, ha. Thanks again for all of your support! It really does mean the world to me. <3

I thought y'all would be happy to know that I finally put all of my TPWM chapters in a single word document, including my most recent ones which I hadn't had before, and have found that at chapter 22, TPWM is only 10k words away from the length of TPWP (with 365k words). Which I will easily get once I finally continue writing chapter 23.
:-)
#I am terrified by the monstrosity that is TPWM#Personal post#TPWM update#Kind of#Also The Problem Series has almost 750k words written for it now#And I put together all the fics I've written since COVID started#Including the WIPs#And it was about 1.7 MILLION words#Over the past two and a half years#Jesus#I wonder if TP series will ever get 1 mil words#Assuming I'm right and TPWM does reach 500k words#Which will be about 250k words more than TPWM has now#It just about might#How are y'all still with me at this point#How did I write this much for a single series#When I can't even read 300k fics without growing bored#Dear god

Chapter 14 of tpwm when?
Aha, soon! Like usual, my weekend was pretty busy, so I decided against editing and focused on getting my work done. I also wasn't feeling very well so I spent most of the weekend that I wasn't doing school work in bed, resting. Posting on the weekends is becoming a bit of a challenge to me, thanks to the fact that my school work is due on Sunday, and I've always been of the mind that "due Sunday" means "DO Sunday," you know what I mean??? Basically, I am not at all like Taka, ha. But it works for me, and I'm often not rushing to finish the work. It just takes most of my evening.
However, editing during the week is challenging too, since I have work with children all day and by the time I get home, I'm not in the right state of mind to be editing my work. I also got some worrying news today from some lab work I had done by my doctor (nothing super major, I don't think. but definitely worrying to me, a professional worrier), and right now I'm a bit preoccupied with that, so... I don't know. I can always just post chapters without editing them one last time, but I dislike doing that, since it's a sign that I've given up on the story and have lost interest. Plus, these later chapters have barely been edited by me, which means they probably need these last minute run throughs to catch errors.
So, all of this just means that, for the foreseeable future... I think updates will be a bit more sporadic. I will try my absolute hardest to not go longer than 2 weeks without an update, and if I ever do for any reason, I will definitely let you all know in advance. I'll try to keep to posting on the weekends, hopefully Saturday? Maybe? But I don't know. Things are very up in the air for me right now. I'm just feeling a bit stressed out by everything in my life right now. I'm nearing the end of my grad program, and now I have the terrifying realization that getting a job in my field just might be impossible. Luckily I do have a decent backup, which is working up in my current job, but no matter how high I go the pay will never be THAT great, so... yeah. Lots of stress. I've also not been sleeping well ever since I had COVID, and last night I got maybe 2 hours, which hasn't been helping much.
More than anything else, I will always put my health and well being first, so while I know it can be frustrating to not know when I will post, there isn't much I can do about it. I hope y'all can bear with me and know that I'm doing my best with this all. So... yeah. I hope this didn't come across as snappish, I'm just so freaking exhausted right now, oof.
#TPWM update#Ask answers#Sorry y'all#I am doing my best with this all#Also... getting asks like this don't help me much#It just adds to my anxiety (which is already so high right now)#I don't think this was meant negatively? But I can't quite tell#And when everything is stressful for me anything even potentially negative freaks me out#I really am trying#Sorry#.-.#I can't even eat anything sweet like I normally do since it turns out I am pre-diabetic#Which is the ''worrying thing'' I mentioned above#I have to talk to my doctor before I can know if it's bad or not#But seeing my bloodwork definitely freaked me out#Oof. Just... lots of stuff#All at once too

I finally finished writing chapter 22 of TPWM!! 😄 It ended up over 25k words, which is about 10k words more than chapter 23 of TPWP! 😄😄😄😄😄
Ahhh. No wonder this story is taking me so long to write. Each chapter is almost the length of a novel on its own. But I’m slowly getting there! I’ve resigned myself to the fact that there will most likely be a long wait after I finish publishing the chapters I do have of TPWM, but at least I have full confidence that I will, one day, finish this fic. Even if it takes me a couple years. I’m just debating if it would be better to wait and publish the rest of the fic all at once, or just post chapters as I finish them once I run out. Maybe I’ll play it by ear when we get there, ha. I’m still not looking forward to writing the final chapter. I have no doubt that it’s gonna prolly be twice as long as the original. I mean… Mondo discussing what happened to Daiya alone is gonna take so much longer. Oof.
Anyway, just wanted to let y’all know, ha. Time to edit it and hope it’s not god awful. But!!! (Mild Spoilers for TPWM!!!) I finally was able to write Mondo not being in denial about his feelings for Taka! Obviously this doesn’t solve everything, but it was nice to finally write Mondo accepting his feelings. Trust me, however frustrated y’all are at Mondo’s denial, I’m ten times worse. It was all fine and dandy writing him in denial while in TPWP. It’s another thing entirely having to WRITE about that constant denial when he’s so CLEARLY IN LOVE WITH TAKA GOD. Ha.

TPWM update
Hey guys! I just wanted to let you know that I'm probably not going to post the next chapter of TPWM until this weekend, since I'm kind of busy this week. I was asked to sub at a preschool the company I work for operates, and while the preschoolers are so sweet (my first day there was Friday, and when I came this morning two of the kids said they loved me. Such a big difference to the 3rd-5th graders who barely tolerate me, ha), it's exhausting oof. I have to wake up at 7:00 to get ready on time to be there at 8:00, and that's the earliest I've waken on a regular basis since middle school, honestly. Not to mention my horrible sleep patterns, making me fall asleep at 2:00 am, oof.
As such, reading and editing TPWM is not something I feel up to doing at the moment, and I don't know if I'll be able to the rest of this week. Especially since my main supervisor at the after school program I work for is asking if I can work overtime and stay until our program's usual end time, despite me working nine hours then. Which I don't mind! I like my job and the kids at work, and even my coworkers/supervisor now that the coworker I was having problems with and the incompetent sub supervisor I had is gone. It's just gonna be super tiring, I think.
Anyway, thanks for the comments on TPWM! I've been doing my best to reply, ha. It's nice interacting with my readers, honestly. <3 Until next time! :-D

No Update Today!
Hey guys!! I'm sorry, but I don't think I'll be able to update today, since I've got an interview for an internship tomorrow and I have to work on my portfolio and resume, and all that. I also have a lot of homework to do.
In addition to that, I don't know if I'll be able to post any time soon, since things are a bit busy and I've got a lot of things going on this week. Like, I have surgery on Friday (nothing major, just removing a cyst from my lip) and other work things that are going on. Worse case, I'll skip the update this week and just post next week, we'll see.
Sorry! I will post some pictures from my vacation to Hawaii, though, if anyone wants to see them. ^-^

Chapter 22 The Problem with Mondo
Hey guys! Sorry for not posting on Monday like I said, ha. I got distracted writing the second chapter to that Ishimondo fic I had mentioned, ha. But! I was able to post this today! And I'll try to post that other fic either tomorrow or Sunday, since I finished it at least.
Now, this is going to be the last update for TPWM for at least three months. I want to give myself some time to write chapter 24, so my new schedule is one chapter every 3 months, which gives me six months to write chapter 24. If I can't finish it by then, then... 😬I've started it, at least. Not much is written, but it is at least started. That's always the hardest part, I've found. Unfortunately I've been distracted by trying to finish up some other WIP stories I've started, but knowing me I'll give up on that soon enough, so no need to worry too much 😅
OH! I forgot to mention, but TPWP reached 1,100 kudos the other day!! I was hoping it would make it by the New Year, so I'm happy! Thanks everyone who has been supporting these stories of mine. I never expected them to be so popular, so I really appreciate the support. <3
You can read the chapter here.
Summary:
Mondo Owada can deal with a lot of shit without any problem. He’s had to in order to survive. An abusive, deadbeat old man. An alcoholic, neglectful ma. The death of his older brother, the only person in this godforsaken world who has ever (and likely will ever) love him. It may have hurt like a bitch and caused him to close himself off emotionally, but he got through it and is still standing strong.
However, trying to sort out the tangled mess of emotions he feels whenever he’s around a certain red-eyed, spiky haired, and impossibly uptight Ultimate Moral Compass? Now, that just might be too much for him to handle.
Companion piece to The Problem with Perfection.
Chapter 22

Any updates on "the problem with mondo" ? I love the series so much!!!♡♡♡♡♡
Hi!! I’m so sorry, things have been so hectic for me, I’ve just not had the time to sit down and write about why I’m not updating. I have thought about it, but things are just… gah. Very hectic at the moment.
I’m going to try and post the unedited chapter this weekend if I can!! I have to rewrite part of my master’s thesis, since my last professor gave me bad information, so I don’t know if I’ll have time to post that AND my new fic, but I’ll try my best! I’m so sorry I’ve been delayed with it, things are not going great for me, and while I’m handling it fine, it’s just been a lot and anything extra is being put to the wayside for the moment. Worse case I’ll try to post it to Tumblr without any commentary. That’s what’s been the biggest problem; I want to give an update with the chapter, but it’s a lot and I don’t even know where to start. Because, honestly… I’m putting TPWM on hold for the foreseeable future. I still have one last chapter, which I’ll post prolly in a couple months (I NEED to edit that chapter, and I’m hoping in a couple months I’ll have more free time), but after that… I don’t know. It’s just too much for me now and I can’t force myself to work on something I’m not super passionate about anymore. I’m really sorry, and I’ll write more in detail when I finally post the chapter, but it’s just… a lot happening all at once and I need to prioritize or else I will burn out hard.
My new fic is easy for me to write, which is why I’ve been focusing on it, but TPWM… it’s been a drag unfortunately and I can’t force myself to write it anymore. Maybe one day, but… I really don’t know. Like I said, I’ll put more detail when I post the chapter, but my break is over now so I have to get back to work. Sorry!!! Hopefully the chapter will be up sometime soon!!

Woot! TPWP just passed 1,000 kudos on AO3!!!! 🤩🤩🥳🥳🥳🎉🎉🎊🎊✨
Ha. This is only my second fic to pass a thousand kudos, so I'm excited! Thanks everyone who has enjoyed this fic of mine and has supported me over the months. :-D
Here's the breakdown of the stats for TPWP over the past year and a half, if anyone was curious. I did have one more update for after the fic was completed, which was how many kudos it had when I posted TPWM, but I am uncertain as to where it was saved, since I posted TPWM when I was in between computers. So... yeah, ha. I like to keep track of the stats on a fic before each update since it lets me know what people thought of that specific update. It's also a habit I started back when I first started posting on AO3 that I'm just so used to by now, ha.
#TPWP update#Personal post#I've been anxiously waiting for TPWP to reach 1000 kudos for weeks now#Also! TPWP is at the top of the second page for Ishimondo on AO3#Which is also something I find incredible#I doubt I'll ever make the first page since the next fic has like... 1060 some odd kudos#And it's gonna be hard for TPWP to reach that#But I'm just glad that it has reached 1000 ha#Thanks!!!!#Also my stat thing has a red background because black was harder on my eyes#And I like red
