《The Demon Lord becomes the hero? DROPPED》Temporarily stop writing this one?

Do not be alarmed by the poll, this is a democracy and I will probably come back to this. If you want to read something much better, then vote properly. It might take a while but the wait will be worth it. I am not stopping writing. I just want to do a better piece of work.
This note is basically a response to Valthan who wrote the first in depth review on this fanfic. If you want to read this, feel free to as it has some things I am going to improve in the future in.
So first up is style. I do understand that the fight scenes feel a bit short and are easy to skim through because of the way I wrote them. I tried to force my idea of how the fight exactly went when against enemies by describing specific scenes. Other novels use the way where they do not go into specifics of dodging and things like that. Instead, they describe more emotion, thoughts and the overall condition of the battle. I had not really thought about this when conducting my fight scenes so they fell short in those respects. I will try and adopt a way in which I incorporate these into my fight scenes.
Next, the story. First things first. I apologise if I am rushing things. I kind of got that way because of my chapter lengths. I would do the same things other writers would do but leave out needed detail and some content. I am not sure how I can really do this. I know you said that no one would mind if stuff took ages if it was done well (not exact words) but I kind of got into the mindset that I wanted to finish this fanfic asap. I felt like I had things I could develop but at the same time I felt that by doing those things, it would not be the same story. This caused me to want to start another fanfic of greatly improved content (which I ended up doing recently as a casual project I would do in my free time). I will try and get rid of this train of thought and add more detail and content. Although I expected myself to do around 100 chapters to finish this, it will probably take longer now.

Now onto grammar. I really can't see much problems there. I deliberately used extreme informal language since this story is, in essence, how Drac sees things in his mind and how Drac thinks. This may lead to shortened sentences or sentences that seem a bit weird but if you try to understand them, you will. With the misspellings, in the beginning, I was using American English as a spell checker. I am from England UK but just couldn't be bothered to change the options. Eventually I did but I didn't go back and change American English words to English UK words e.g. armor-armour and realize-realise. Any spellings you don't agree with other than those, that is embarrassing for me. English is my first language so yeah. If anyone finds any typos please tell me in the comments.
Finally, characters. This was my first fanfic and I was fairly lazy with the starting characters. I wanted to get out chapters asap and sacrificed conversations that would normally happen between people such as at the start between Arthur and the innkeeper, or between the King and Drac. I skimped on the conversation between them and basically said 'the king told me I had to kill a demon lord'. I only know now, looking back, that was a mistake. They needed to have a proper conversation to help develop the King's personality and others like the servants Drac shared his meal with in an early chapter.
After reading your review, I kind of want to axe 'The Demon Lord becomes the Hero?'. Not because you hurt my feelings. Quite the opposite actually. You helped me realise my weaknesses and made me want to start a fresh fanfic. One that has quality. One that deserves to get into the top 50 (eventually). As it stands now, I feel like this doesn't. In actuality, I would feel embarrassed to show this to any of my friends at school because it honestly sucks compared to what I believe I can do.
