The series was dropped by the author at volume 3 which came out in 2018. There are still chapters from what's uploaded now and the end of volume 3 if anyone was wondering how there are still updates when it was dropped.

As to why, the most obvious one is that it wasn't selling which is a shame because it's really interesting. But there are a few other controversies surrounding the comic which could have contributed to it (take it with a grain of salt please).
The first one is that people suggest that the FL is plagiarized off of the character Jougasaki Mika from the game Idolmasters Cinderella Girls. At first it was just the similarity in hair color and style and that they both are gals, but the swimsuit she wears also looks exactly the same minus the pattern. Of course this could be a coincidence, but the game has been out for way longer and is way more popular in JP. The second controversy is that the author slandered another series called Medaka Box in the past so fans of that series may have said things on the internet to contribute to that.

Again, these two points are just speculations people have made that could have contributed to the lack of popularity but it is a fact that the series was dropped.

For people who have been waiting for an update, sorry to say that chapter 16 is the most recent chapter in the JP raws as well.

In Jan 2019, the author tweeted for the first time since Jun 2018 since this comics won an award. In this tweet they talk about taking care of your mental health so it is reasonable to assume they were having a rough time irl.

In this consecutive tweet also tweeted on the same day, the author says they have plans to resume the comics and will inform everyone closer to the date.

As of now a year has passed and the comic has been given a drama CD but there have been no updates from the author themselves as to when the next chapter will come out since it was published in a magazine and on pixiv comic on a chapter by chapter basis (as to being full volumes only).

Note that this is DOES NOT MEAN THE SERIES WAS DROPPED/AXED BY THE AUTHOR, as when that happens the author has the responsibility to let their fans know. In all my years of reading and following authors there has never been a time where they failed to tell the fans if their story was going to be discontinued. The only thing we know is that after the creation of chapter 16, the author may have had some problems with their mental health and since then has been doing their best to return. Even if the author ends up being unable to finish this story ever, I hope they are doing well in real life
