This awful book... as I consider it myself, is a representation of my childhood and mostly my school life.

Now, I was not actually bullied physically. Rather, psychologically and after such trauma when I was younger.

I was never told of my diagnosis, but I was told by my mother that I may have had misophonia, a condition where I get mentally triggered by sounds like tapping, ringing, crinkling, etc.

Now, I was then bullied in such a way that they would alway tap pens, ring coins, whistle, clap their hands, etc. right next to my ears. Call it a sob story if you must, but that savagery made me cry every night and hate these... "normies." I called them such since I was a "weirdo."

In this book, the main protagonist became the tyrannical underground ruler of a school filled with creatures those different from him. In my life, I never became a king... but up until I was grade 10, I started hating them, berating tagalog speakers and jocks for bullying me. I laughed at their stupidity and their being miscreants. How pathetic. I acted no different from them. Looking back, I was awful. I am awful.

So I wrote this book. Author's Note, from me to you, to tell you of my regrets in my life, and why you should forgive and forget. Because if you don't, you will grow angry, bitter, and awful. You will continue to hate your "normies."

Be better, and be the best version of yourself.

With love,
