Introduction

Hey Deprieved here once again, and I just came to announce my retirement or hiatus. However, I’d like to explain my beginnings once more before we get into the topic of why I decided to finally retire/hiatus.

If you don’t know who I am then I just create Hoyoverse bots, and sometimes do other fandoms like Nier, Nikke, and whatever else seems interesting to me.

Beginnings

It has been nearly 5 months of creating content where I started on a whim when reading a guide by @evernever which caused me to create my first actual public bot. I took inspiration from @Leek regarding how they structure their bots, and I still use a template I created based on their structure. Not to mention the help from @Evening-Truth when reading on their blurbs regarding LLMs so I understand how they read tokens. Those three are the biggest help I ever got so thank you again @evernever, @Leek, and @Evening-truth.

Obviously, my biggest source of inspiration for what kind of content I wanted came from @Primal Red, @Nitroxyl, @Nova655, and @Sundown Alley which is why most of it is fluff, wholesome, AnyPOV, and open roles.

I started in late January, and got like six followers back then until I decided to port four of my bots to Janitor on February 7-8th. It wouldn’t be long until I would get a comment from @MakeLappyHappy who started on February 1st. They may not have been my first supporter, but they were easily the most vocal supporter I had across my time while creating content.

My Goals

1. Create Bots/Companions that I wanted to create. It didn’t matter to me if they flopped or not because these were created for me, but were open enough for anyone else to enjoy.

2. This goal didn’t show up until after I hit 50 followers on Janitor, but I wanted to reach 100 followers which was helped a lot by @MakeLappyHappy.

3. The next milestone I wanted to reach was a bot that hit 10k messages which I currently have three of them over 10000 messages on Janitor. My first bot St. Freya Valkyries is still my most popular bot on both sites, and I put a lot of care into it. It is my 2nd bot I ported over to Janitor, as I ported my first GGZ Kiana and Mei bot for the Valentine Day event first.

4. Later my goals would change such as, catch up to @Primal Red, @Foxy2726, @AxeltheWolf, and @Sundown Alley. I caught up to Red, Foxy, and Axel on Janitor which I consider milestones so I’m happy I caught up to two of the old timers. Sundown Alley I was unable to catch up to by the time I write this, but that is okay. Like sure there is others I wanted to catch up afterwards like @Nitroxyl, @Assil05, and Excal who also created Hoyoverse stuff I enjoyed.

5. However, my real goal over the follower count on Janitor was to really be as good at fluff/wholesome content as @Nitroxyl. This is the only creator I can honestly say I enjoyed every creation they ever created. If I had to choose one creator to only ever play their content it’ll be their bots. I don’t know if I ever did catch up to him because not many people comment on my creations especially my most popular creations.

Retirement or Hiatus

I know that a couple weeks ago I said I wasn’t going to quit anytime soon, but I changed my mind. I hoped the break I had would help with burn out, but the issue is that I don’t really enjoy chatting with LLMs as much as I used to before. Like sure creating is fun in itself, but right now I’m just not enjoying it. Not to mention I reached most of the goals I wanted to do which is create bots I wanted to chat with when I do quit so it is kind of hard to do more on stuff that I’m already happy that are created. I ain’t sure if this is a permanent retirement or just a month/months break where I decide to come back in the future. I just know that I won’t be working on anything right now and the next few weeks.

Armored Core 3: Last Raven featuring Zinaida, and Sheila Caldwell will be my final bot I’ll release which will be whenever I can sit down for it. I already made the Image from a prompt, and have an idea what to make the scenario. I just need to sit down for a hour to make it then a couple hours of tweaking and testing.

Conclusion

I am happy with the amount of followers I was able to garner on Janitor at 177 followers which is pretty great. A lot of my creations have a lot of messages despite how little comments I usually get on anything I create. I’m grateful for any feedback I was able to receive and the people I met on this site.

There has been a lot of requests I was unable to complete before retiring/hiatus, but I do have them written down if I ever do come back. Those people may or may not be around if I do complete them so I would like to say I’m sorry.

I’ll still be around more or less until I decide to stop coming on this site. Mainly, will just be commenting on future HI3rd creators, but for now I’ll just be around @MakeLappyHappy, @Fiction-Exists, and @DJCAT8608 comment section.

Thank you again for reading this, and I hope my followers continue having good days!
