Poor Boy [Tanjiro x Reader]

Comments: Red Flags 🚩

Hello Dear Readers.

I have decided to make a chapter addressing some concerned readers, I recently started reading through your comments which can be difficult as they can range between 50 to 200 comments a day.

So please be patient with me.

The reason I am addressing these comments is because of misunderstandings due to language and cultural differences, accusations of sexualising the characters who are underage and just negative comments.

So I want to clear the air, as these comments have made me contemplate discontinuing or even deleting the book.

"Baby Barring Hips"

I want to explain to the best of my ability that I am an immigrant English is not my native language, I am bilingual therefore connotations are perceived differently in my language and culture we eventually were overthrown by the English decades ago.

So certain English phrases have different meanings where I am from. In my culture baby barring hips is not inherently sexual nor solely associated with child birth, it is used to describe hips for both sexes it refers to hips that are wide or strong.

Please understand that it is not a sexual term but a form of describing ones hips.

"Underage"

I am aware that the characters are underaged in America 15/16 is the age of consent in Australia. However I plan on introducing a lemon into the story during the reincarnated lovers arch where they'll be in their 20s, I would never promote nor condone the sexualisation of children i wasn't even sure if I was going to do a lemon until readers started privately messaging me requesting it, approximately 80% of readers have commented or privately messaged me requesting one.

"Editing"

I am privately messaged frequently about the poor quality of editing. I am aware that the grammar, spelling and paragraphing is a mess.

I have informed readers in the past that I am dyslexic. "Dyslexia is a specific learning disability that is neurobiological in origin. It is characterized by difficulties with accurate and/or fluent word recognition and by poor spelling and decoding abilities." I am working very hard.

The reason chapters are slow is because I pause every time a character speaks to accurately quote them. And because writing is an emotional and mental struggle with my dyslexia, I become so frustrated I want to scream sometimes because it feels like my brain doesn't want to cooperate with me. It feels like I'm battling my own mind trying to will it to work.

I have considered enlisting an editor but it is hard to find someone I feel comfortable with. I understand I have a disability but not everyone else does it leaves me with a lot of insecurity, in the past people just assumed I was lazy when I was struggling and because my parents don't want me working with a stranger as they feel I'm easy too take advantage of so they want it to be someone I have a relationship with.

Which is true I tend to be too trusting it is hard to find someone I am unashamed around, someone my parents feel they can trust me to work with and someone who can understand me as my speech written and verbal are affected.

a good friend of mine and fellow writer volunteered but she wouldn't let me pay her so it didn't sit right with me. We have been friends for years so I don't want to feel like I'm taking advantage of our friendship.

I do not plan to continue to pursue an editor I have always felt insecure and humiliated about my disability, I do not want to keep explaining to strangers how it works especially since the severity can differ from person to person, it's hard to find someone who understands me when i don't even understand myself.

"Future"

I adore my readers. Your comments are uplifting I never imagined this fanfic would become as popular as it is now I wrote it with the thought that even if one person liked it then it is worth it.

I want to see this book through to the end meaning the end of the anime. I am still an amateur writer who is learning and this book is a huge learning process it's my readers who keep me going, I get excited to read your comments and hear your thoughts they make me smile, they make me laugh and they make me proud.

I truly appreciate each comment and adore every reader they are what keeps me writing.

If you have any questions or queries please feel free to privately message me or comment.
