You're losing views because the chapter became too heavy on nonstop combat and exposition. Readers connected with Arman and Maya emotionally first — then the action.
Right now the story feels cold, mechanical, and exhausting for mobile readers.
To bounce back:
Reduce nonstop fighting
Bring emotional tension + romance
Add mystery slowly
Give readers "hope" after darkness
End with emotional hooks instead of only explosions
Next chapter should feel:
"Calm after destruction… before an even bigger storm."
Also introduce:
softer Arman moments
Maya healing him
Prototype 001 becoming tragic instead of just villain
a NEW emotional triangle / love tension
moral theme: "Monsters are created by cruelty, healed by kindness."
Here's the direction that can revive retention hard:
Chapter 66: "The Girl Who Saw Humanity"
The missile lock warnings screamed across the mountains.
BEEP!!
BEEP!!
BEEP!!
Snowstorms swallowed the battlefield while Orion helicopters surrounded the valley completely.
But nobody moved.
Because Prototype 001 was screaming in pain.
Electricity exploded across his black armor while he collapsed into the snow violently.
"AAAAAAAHHHH!!"
His body kept shaking uncontrollably.
The self-destruction sequence had already started.
Maya looked horrified.
"They're killing him…"
Above the battlefield, Selene's cold voice echoed again from the helicopters—
"Prototype 001 is compromised."
Pause.
"Eliminate all failed subjects."
Arman slowly stood despite blood pouring from his wounds.
Something inside him burned now.
Not rage.
Understanding.
For the first time in his life…
He saw someone exactly like himself.
A weapon that never got saved.
Prototype 001 looked toward Arman weakly.
Red visor flickering.
"…help me…"
That voice no longer sounded like a machine.
It sounded like a terrified child.
Kabir shouted desperately—
"ARMAN! WE HAVE TEN SECONDS BEFORE THOSE MISSILES FIRE!"
But Arman ignored him.
He slowly walked toward 001.
Every Orion soldier immediately aimed their rifles.
"DON'T MOVE!"
Arman kept walking anyway.
Maya watched silently.
Then suddenly—
She understood something terrifying.
Arman wasn't trying to defeat the monster anymore.
He was trying to save him.
Prototype 001 weakly raised his arm cannon.
Targeting system shaking violently.
He could barely control himself now.
"I… don't… want…"
Static interrupted his voice.
"…to die…"
Those words hit Maya harder than the explosions.
Because underneath all that armor…
There was still a human soul begging for life.
Arman finally reached him.
Then quietly asked—
"What's your name?"
Silence.
Prototype 001 froze completely.
Because nobody had asked him that in years.
Not scientists.
Not soldiers.
Nobody.
Only one blurry memory remained—
A little boy inside a laboratory once asking the same question.
Arman.
Back when both of them were children.
The red visor flickered violently again.
Then quietly—
"…Eren…"
Maya's eyes widened.
Kabir whispered softly—
"He remembers…"
Suddenly the helicopters above activated missile launch systems.
TARGET CONFIRMED.
Selene's voice turned colder.
"Fire."
SHHHHHHOOOOOM!!
Missiles descended from the sky instantly.
Elias screamed—
"RUN!!"
But Arman did the impossible.
He grabbed Eren's collapsing body.
Then activated HADES core manually.
WARNING: OVERDRIVE ENABLED.
White energy exploded across the battlefield.
BOOOOOOOOM!!
A massive shockwave burst upward like a storm.
The incoming missiles detonated midair.
Entire mountains shook violently.
Snow avalanches crashed down from distant cliffs.
Orion helicopters lost balance instantly.
Kabir stared in disbelief.
"He stopped the missiles…"
But Arman immediately collapsed to one knee afterward.
The overdrive damaged his core badly.
WARNING: LIFE SUPPORT FAILING.
Maya ran toward him instantly.
"Arman!"
He looked exhausted now.
More human than machine.
Snow melted around his burning body while steam rose into the freezing air.
And for the first time—
Maya touched his exposed face carefully.
No armor.
No fear.
Just him.
"You idiot…"
Tears rolled down her cheeks.
"You keep trying to save everyone…"
Arman looked at her silently.
Then weakly smiled.
A real smile.
Small.
Broken.
Human.
And that single moment changed everything inside Maya.
Because she realized something dangerous.
She wasn't staying beside Arman out of guilt anymore.
She loved him.
Before either of them could speak again—
A soft voice came from behind them.
"…beautiful…"
Everyone turned instantly.
Eren was staring at them quietly from the snow.
Confused.
Lost.
Almost innocent now.
He looked toward Maya carefully.
"That feeling…"
Pause.
"…what is it?"
The battlefield became silent.
Because the deadliest monster Orion ever created…
Was trying to understand love.
Maya slowly walked toward him carefully.
Kabir immediately grabbed her arm.
"ARE YOU CRAZY?!"
But Maya gently moved his hand away.
Then she knelt before Eren.
Snow fell softly around them.
"You protect people because they matter to you."
Eren stared silently.
Maya smiled sadly.
"That feeling is called humanity."
For several seconds—
Eren said nothing.
Then slowly looked down at his trembling hands.
Hands built only for killing.
"…human…"
His voice cracked painfully.
And suddenly—
He began crying.
Not loudly.
Not dramatically.
Just silent tears disappearing into the snowstorm.
The entire battlefield froze.
Even Orion soldiers lowered their weapons slightly in shock.
Because monsters weren't supposed to cry.
Above them inside the helicopter—
Selene watched silently.
And for the first time in years—
Even she looked afraid.
Because Project Ashes had officially failed.
Not because the monsters became violent.
But because they became human.
And humans…
Could rebel.
Ending Hook:
Far away beyond the mountains…
Inside a hidden underground facility…
A girl quietly watched the entire battle through holographic screens.
Long white hair.
Golden eyes.
Calm smile.
Unlike Orion soldiers—
She looked fascinated.
Then softly whispered—
"So Subject 002 finally awakened…"
She touched Arman's image on the screen gently.
And smiled.
"Interesting."
WARNING flashed across the monitor:
PROJECT EVE ACTIVATED.
