SOLACE SERIES
= Tackles friendship, studies—especially college life—and a refreshing mix of sunshine and rain. Read this series if you're looking for a light, humorous, and rollercoaster epistolary adventure.
= So far, the epistolaries in this series focus on the Hartvigsen siblings. If more books are added, I'm open to suggestions for other characters or stories you'd like to read!
Solace One: BITTERSWEET
You can start with this story to see how the author writes her epistolaries. Although the author has already included warnings in the first chapter of her story, she wants to remind you that this story is not for the faint-hearted yuki. Watch out for irritable characters.
Characters:
Harelle, Shaveena, Claudette, Hunter, Soren
Solace Two: ANY OTHER WAY
I love how diverse this story is! And oh my gosh, who doesn't love loyal main characters??? One of the main characters in this story also appears as a side character in Bittersweet. While it's fine to start with this story, be aware that starting in this story might make Bittersweet feel even more emotional.
Characters:
Shaveena, Soren, Harelle, Claudette, Linkin, Syntyche
VERMILION SERIES
= This series focuses on the powerful and unbreakable Astorias family, exploring themes of annihilation, stubborn excuses, and numerous time skips.
= Dearest, you said is a part of the Vermilion Series; however, I want to clarify that DYS is actually a prequel to the Vermilion Series. It's also part of a collaboration with Hearts and Beeps, which is why it's noted as a prequel. This wasn't indicated in DYS, so many readers end up reading the Vermilion Series first and then DYS afterward, which is perfectly fine.
Prequel of Vermilion: Dearest, You Said.
Start with this story if you're the type who hates spoilers. But you can skip it and begin with Vermilion and then read DYS afterward.
Characters:
Zyquavious Ree, Noah Keir, Santiago Knoxx, Aestherielle Elysie, Xena Yvaine, Zagreus Oryn
Vermilion One: Sparrow
Please read this thoroughly to avoid confusion. The dates and years are there for a reason. This story has many plot twists, so try not to spoil it for yourself by reading the comments. It's a good read if you're not looking for a super light and romantic epistolary.
Characters:
Ulysses Reel, Khaos Clive, Delaney Mauve, Sathariel Pearl, Khione Rei
Vermilion Two: I Envy You
You can count on Jeacela's dorkiness in this one. It strikes a balance between light and heavy epistolary. If you're into cute and determined female characters, you'll love the female lead.
Characters:
Jeceala Eunice, Stefanie Kyle, Aleyah Lavelle , Rhysand Keir, Kyno
Vermilion Three: Ink Beneath the Skin
"Slowburn" is the best word to describe this story, haha! It's filled with a lot of regrets. You might want to read the other installment first to avoid confusion with the characters' dialogue, but it also works as a standalone if you don't mind getting spoiled, hehe.
Characters:
Nereise Braelia, Nerhyn Jeaneda, Eveleen Hue, Akemy Lucretyus, Akemie Reiko, Nicholas
SEMI-COLON SERIES
= It explores themes of friendship, academic anxieties, pressure, and guilt. This story can be heavy for some readers, and even the author found it challenging to revise due to its emotional weight.
= Light a Flame focused toward adult life and takes place outside the Philippines, so expect plenty of English dialogue and some grammatical errors.
= Inspired by SVT's songs.
Semi-colon One: I Don't Understand but I Love You (PART ONE AND PART TWO)
If you're easily triggered by naive characters who bottle up their feelings, you might want to skip this one. It features a love triangle and a lot of miscommunication. Patience and understanding are key to finishing this story, as the author wrote it while feeling anxious about her future. Expect a lot of typos and grammatical errors.
Characters:
Vylence Erling, Karielis Ryle, Sunny, Vernadeth, Danielle, Giselle, Aureliene Auguste, Arzhel, Priel Vacarr
Semi-Colon Two: Light a Flame
Strong, independent characters, angst, and an enemies-to-friends dynamic—haha. There are plenty of backstories in this one. The story is adorable because the independent girl becomes soft and vulnerable for one particular man in this story.
Characters:
Karielis Ryle, Karaliene Anna, Rachelle, Vylence Erling, Viseris Braithe, Vesivius Braithe, Priel Vacarr
LOVER DUOLOGY (Collaboration)
= This can be read as a standalone, but if you'd like to start with the first installment, you can find it by searching for the author Louevrie's account on Wattpad with the title Afterglow.
Death by a Thousand Cuts
LIGHT. This is a breather compared to my other epistolaries, I swear. I don't know what I was thinking back then, but it's incredibly light. It's better to protect your peace of mind and just enjoy this epistolary, haha! You might read this and never look back at my other epistolaries, haha!
Characters:
Apphiah Shifrah, Arabella Bithiah, Karyl, Raejel, Ronan Nicholas
A/N: I did my best not to spoil anything, hehe. Thanks for stopping by! I hope you'll learn a lot from my other halves. And if you end up falling in love with them, I hope you'll remember me as someone who gave you a chance to escape reality and meet characters you've never encountered in real life.
