On the other hand, I can't say I am happy about Nasu being writting Last Encore. Years ago I respected Nasu. Nowadays I don't. Some time ago he created good stories just to do that, create good stories, or at least that is what it seems to me. But today he just seems to write to sell, that's all. Of course, every writter write to sell, but it isn't the main goal. And that's how now we have the whole Nasuverse screwed because he doesn't respect his own universe anymore. it's because he need to write for special type of medium which is mobage and to be fair any chapter he handle himself and are not intentionally made to be nonsense are still recognizeable for what it is based on the writing style Shimosa is the last serious chapter he handle, from the feel of it while the general idea of Salem came from him the writer for Salem seems to be Sakurai. At this point fate is handled by 4 different author so I've said this long ago, expect some disrepancy and inconsistency because that's what happen in other work I know.

and at this point I won't be surprised if he dump everything to 2ndary writer and contractor, and just retire like that, given TM success he no longer need to write anything to survive and could settle with writing as hobby if he still feel up to writing that is, he have no obligation to keep on writing. I don't believe anyone need to be bounded by anything he made at one point in his life, so I can only be grateful he didn't abandon it just like that, because if he ever left just like that then the only one who at loss is we the fan because.. well, Imagine one piece where it end right in the middle and we never know what one piece is?? at this point Eichiro Oda could just quit and retire like HxH author and honestly it's the best thing for him since he's now filthy rich and no longer need to be haunted by deadline anymore..

Professional author write for living, or rather any job essentially are this, once they don't need to write for living they could call it quit.. If I were nasu I'll be quitting once I saved enough for retirement,, in fact I'm currently aiming for that, early retirement. So I'm just grateful he just don't call it quit and still write something to expand his own work because honestly if I was Nasu i'll be fed up with Fate.. like when something is just too big it become annoying just too see,,  well in fact I believe Nasu doesn't take his works as seriously as us so probably he didn't think much bout it..

Also I tend to differentiate his works into 2, the commercial and the hobbyist one,, D.D.D, Extra CCC, MohoYo, and Canaan are written as standalone works which still retain what I loved from Tsukihime, the fact MahoYo is an all age novel is a great sign because it means he no longer forced to write sex to sell; Extella, FGO, Fate/Arcade, Unlimited Codes, and Tiger colloseum are commercial one, it doesn't take itself way to seriously,, it's super noticeable from the differences between UC and Melty Blood,, both are fighting game developed for the franchise but the latter are written with serious plot while UC are just bunch of weird one-shot plot.

A Golden rule I hold is that "What happened in FGO stays in FGO" because what happened in it are made into 'never happened' in the end anyway.
