Alright, so to be honest I think I've fallen into a classic Sunk Cost Fallacy when it comes to Chef's Kiss and it took Chapter 30's only comment being entirely negative for me to really realize it. Considering you guys on my Patreon are literally paying to read my work, you should be my biggest fans. So if a story is getting that bad of a reception, then I need to open my eyes.

Put simply, Chef's Kiss is my least popular Story Poll at this point by a mile. Either the concept just doesn't have an audience... or more likely I simply drove it into the ground.

Because it's not just the story's lack of popularity overall, but also my difficulty with writing it. Out of all of my long-form stories, Chef's Kiss has given me the most trouble, with chapters sometimes taking me five times as long to get out as anything else I write. The story just never really clicked for me I think. That probably contributed in turn to it not really clicking for the majority of you guys.

That all said, I think Chef's Kiss probably needs to come to an end and something else needs to take it's place. What I'm not sure is whether that something else should also be a Shirou-centric story or not. Maybe Shirou in another setting? The one idea I did have was a Shirou in Danmachi fic, but maybe that won't speak to many people.

So please vote below and give me your feedback on what I should do next.

Depending on the results of the vote below, I will probably do some rapid fire polling over the next week or two in order to try and get things figured out.

personally, it's the character bloat in this. maybe try to keep it to a core of 4-5 in the harem.

As much as i'm enjoying your writing an FGO story... if this is becoming hard to write then going to a different story is probably best. that being said if you could give an outline as to how this story migh have ended as it went on that would be nice. also maybe just doing an fgo fic with ritsuka (either gender) as the protagonist, it might be the better option if you write for fgo again. the only real criticism I had is that Ritsuka was being sidelined as a supporting character rather than being a deuteragonist in this story.

This fic was one of the reasons I joined your patreon , I honestly enjoyed it. I love pics with shirou in them.

Love the story but you can tell it's flagging might off work better as a series of oneshot like arrow. Would really love a danmachi story havent read any smut ones in awhile
