Hello! I see both sides to your predicament. I have about ten unfinished Episode stories… generally, I’ll put my heart and soul into a story so much that I eventually drain myself out, and then I discontinue the story (and then go back with another idea, create another story, and repeat the same annoying cycle of discontinuing it). If you personally feel as though your story is not intriguing, then don’t continue it. I think you should make a story only if you’re making it with your heart. Writing should be fun and an outlet, not work. If your heart isn’t into it, then possibly take a step back and genuinely consider your story and whether or not you are truly committed to it. Because if your heart isn’t into your own story, then you’re basically making yourself suffer by continuing to write a story that you’re not passionate about.
Don’t discontinue a story solely because you’re not getting a high reading count, or if people tell you it sucks, etc. If you’re passionate and determined, continue your story.
A lot of great artists were rejected before they became stars. But they continued their journey because they were passionate.
I hope all of what I’ve said makes sense so far. I don’t think you should drag yourself through writing a story just to “prove a point to yourself”- it would be much more rewarding if you completed a story that you genuinely care about, otherwise you’re going to be left with this feeling of emptiness and dissatisfaction. I hope this helps in some way or another
