The reality behind this decision

I've spent a considerable amount of time and effort creating original Living World projects. These are fully interactive worlds where numerous characters, events and stories exist independently of the user.

However, the results increasingly make me question why I should continue limiting my creativity when the platform provides so few opportunities for my original work to reach a wider audience.

What's pushing me toward NSFW?

1. Limited reach

My original projects struggle to reach a wider audience despite the considerable time and effort invested in creating them.

2. Low engagement

The number of messages doesn't always reflect the scale of the projects or the amount of work behind them.

3. Low follower conversion

Even substantial user activity doesn't guarantee comparable growth in a dedicated audience.

4. Limited distribution

My original work struggles to gain organic popularity and reach audiences beyond its existing visibility.

5. Lack of verification

On November 10, my verification application was rejected. This was another discouraging setback, creating additional obstacles to establishing recognition and promoting my work on the platform.

6. The difference in results

Between October 22 and November 13, my Cyberpunk Living World accumulated approximately 283,000 messages. I'm grateful to everyone who participated in the project, but this isn't quite the kind of result or recognition I was hoping for.

Meanwhile, an NSFW character from the same franchise accumulated approximately 53,000 messages in just three days.

It's difficult to ignore such a difference. It raises questions about how content is distributed on the platform and why certain projects can generate significantly more activity in a much shorter period.

Why I'm considering NSFW

I haven't lost my passion for creating original worlds. I still want to develop my own projects, experiment and create something different from the conventional content on the platform.

But I also want to see a return on my efforts.

I want greater engagement, audience growth, wider distribution and recognition. I see no reason to artificially restrict my creative possibilities by refusing to explore an entire category that demonstrates such strong demand.

What remains unchanged

The originality of my projects.

Creative freedom.

Independent characters and living environments.

Diverse interactions and possible storylines.

The ambition to create something greater than just another individual character.

Final thoughts

I'm tired of being in a situation where enormous creative efforts receive so little in return.

I don't want to spend weeks developing projects only to watch other releases achieve in a matter of days what takes me considerably more time and effort.

I want my work to produce tangible results and my projects to receive the attention and recognition they deserve.

If NSFW opens up additional opportunities to achieve these goals, I'm not going to ignore them simply to preserve the limitations I've followed until now.

I'm not abandoning Living World. I'm expanding the boundaries of my own creativity.

What do you think about the current state of SFW and NSFW content on the platform? Do you think original creative projects receive the visibility they deserve?

And most importantly, would you like to see me continue focusing primarily on Living World projects, or do you think it's time for me to explore NSFW content as well?

I'd genuinely like to hear your opinions.
