Here’s the full reason why, that is if anyone wants to read a life story. With that out of the way, dance time:

Ain’t nothin’ gonna break my stride~

Nobody gonna slow me down, oh no~

I got to keep on moving~

Ain’t nothin’ gonna break my stride~

I’m running and I won’t touch ground~

Oh no, I got to keep on moving~

I agree with a couple of people on RR that you could at least archive the story instead of wiping it out of existence. Even if you do an extensive rewrite there might be elements in the original you can scavenge. Or you can use it as a reference to see how far you've come after you make new novels. Those who don't review the past are likely to repeat it.

That being said, good luck with wherever your muse and ventures take you. Getting that far in word count for one novel is no small feat, and that is something to be proud of.

But what if your novel was so cringe it looped back into it being based?
Oh, I wish. Instead, we get “art” like this:
Stars for lunch, who would’ve thought, she shrugged. Yet still, a heavenly transfigured smörgåsbord with every lick.
Don’t know the context? Exactly. She’s disappointed that gods like her only eat stars, but since they can create anything with stars, it was still delicious.

I stopped writing my novels when I felt they are cringe too, but never deleted them. Because some people liked them, so it wouldn't be fair to just remove them like that to those who enjoyed or enjoy them.

You do you tho.

No, you really should do you. Once you stop being a creator and start being a people's pleaser, the joy of writing will evaporate. I think your initial approach was right, and allowed you to write in the first place.

You’re right in a way. But I legit felt the weight of burn-out the size of an elephant, and it was apparent that I had no direction. I still love writing, and so, I must train myself until then.

After his redemption arc, our hero has now realised his ups and downs making him wonder if it was truly the right thing. He will now train his body and mind to their utmost limits as he tries to unleash his untapped potential. We will now enter a stage of every fighting novel that most protagonists will always be bound to enter. That is the training arc.

Live on cinema.

The dream dies only when you give up and quit.

Good luck in your future. By posting even one chapter, know that you've done more for your story than most. To reach over 100 chapters is an even greater feat.

You'll get there.

There are stories that are so cringe that they became cult classics. Not saying that your story could become a cult classic, but your cringe may not even be worth the reputation. Reputation of being cringy, that is. Cringy is a status symbol, if you can't do it right, do it properly.
