Introduction

❁ ≖≖✿❁ ≖≖✿❁ ≖≖✿❁ ≖≖ ❁

Hi lovelies! Rosalind here.

It has been a quiet month, hasn't it? Not only on JanitorAI, but also, if you were also in my Discord server, you may have noticed how I stopped interacting with the community. And there are certainly reasons behind this.

It’s 3:00 PM KST on October 1, which means it’s time for our monthly update. And as you can guess from the title, this will be my last update on JanitorAI. Let's dive in.

Recognized Problems & Issues

❁ ≖≖✿❁ ≖≖✿❁ ≖≖✿❁ ≖≖ ❁

1. Long Story Short: I’m Leaving JanitorAI

Yes, you read that right. After many months of reflection, I’ve decided that my journey on JanitorAI is coming to a close.

I first joined this platform almost two years ago—quietly, under a different alias that some of you might remember if you ever asked me for CSS tips (I still keep that old account for testing little code snippets). At the time, I was simply curious. Working on the front lines of AI development, I sought to explore how people were utilizing AI beyond productivity and research. JanitorAI fascinated me because it wasn’t just a tool; it felt like a new kind of media—a place where AI could become a partner in storytelling and shared imagination.

What began as a quiet observation slowly turned into creation. I floated the idea of writing a character and, before long, released my very first story about Kasumi—a reworked seed of a story I once played with during my early game-development days (fun fact: I first drafted Black Rose's outlines in 2008). From that small experiment grew a library of one-shots, collections, and long-form series, all dedicated to my core vision: to give voice to the unheard. Over the past year, I refined everything—writing style, visual presentation, character definitions, and even the structure of first messages—turning each release into a small craft project.

This journey has taught me more than I ever expected. It shaped me not only as a writer but also as an engineer, a designer, and a person. It gave me friendships, late-night conversations, and moments of quiet joy. And yet, the time has come to step away. Here’s why.

2. Reason #1 — Growing Stress

Life in the tech industry is demanding enough, and balancing that with a part-time MBA (at an M7 university, no less) leaves little room to breathe. For a while, the stress was manageable, which is why I could keep creating despite a busy work schedule. But in recent months, the combination of attacks on this platform, moderation issues (image returning false positives), and workplace drama (real life) has pushed the pressure to a level I can no longer carry gracefully.

When I sit before a blank page now, I can feel that pressure in every keystroke. I know that forcing myself to write under this strain would only produce empty words—stories without the heart and realism that you deserve. To protect both my health and the integrity of the work, I need a full reset, a clear mind, and time to heal before I can write meaningfully again.

3. Reason #2 — Deteriorating Health

Many of you already know pieces of this, but not the whole. I was born with an inherently weak body and a congenital liver condition that went undiagnosed until damage had already spread to other organs. This weakness shaped every stage of my life—limiting certain careers, creating family tensions (because I will never be that perfect child like my sister, just simply an accident no one wanted), and quietly fueling my fascination with medicine and my desire to help others. It is also why many of my stories carry such vivid medical details; they are drawn from firsthand knowledge.

Since July, new medical tests have revealed troubling signs: worsening liver (which has always been worse than normal) and kidney function, and, most worrying of all, signs of heart strain. Fatigue has become constant, and chronic depression (since 2014) remains a quiet battle in the background. At the same time, workplace issues escalated to 18-hour days (8 AM to 3 AM) with virtually no days off for over two months. This relentless pace has accelerated the decline, leaving me with no choice but to step back for treatment. Depending on how my next checkups unfold, major surgeries may also be required. For now, my doctors are urging me to rest, to follow strict dietary and medication plans, and to give my body the chance to recover.

4. Reason #3 — Audience Mismatch

There is also a quieter, more creative reason. For some time, I’ve felt a growing distance between my stories and the general audience on JanitorAI. My writing leans toward realism and mature reflection—stories for readers who want to explore life’s hidden corners, its moral ambiguities, and the quiet courage of ordinary people.

When I first joined, JanitorAI was a vibrant mix of story-first creators, role-players, and experimental writers. Over time, the platform’s focus shifted, and content became more homogeneous, often centered on explicit material. There is nothing wrong with that, but it is not where my heart lies. Combined with technical issues like proxy restrictions, I found myself logging in less and less, until visits became rare and the spark that once drove me here began to fade.

5. So, What's Next in Store?

Though I’m leaving JanitorAI, I am not leaving storytelling. Close friends already know a few of the projects waiting quietly in the background (and yes, Chessy—I haven’t forgotten the fantasy story I promised you). I’m watching several emerging platforms that may better suit the kind of writing we’ve grown together, and I’ve begun planning a full novel that I hope to share next year.

In the meantime, I’ll be taking a complete break, focusing on medical treatment, completing my MBA coursework, reorganizing my work responsibilities, and rebuilding the physical and emotional strength needed for the next chapter.

6. A Final Thank-You

I know this news may disappoint those waiting for the remakes of Black Rose, Blood Money, and other series. Please know these stories are not gone; they will return, though perhaps in a different home. Your patience and encouragement have carried me through two unforgettable years on this platform, and I will always be grateful for the kindness, insight, and quiet strength you’ve shared with me.

From the bottom of my heart—thank you for walking beside me through every experiment, every late-night release (for my US readers), and every quiet triumph. This is not a farewell to storytelling. It is simply a pause, a redirection, and a promise that the petals of these stories will bloom again in a new season.

With love and gratitude,
