𝐈𝐌𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐓, 𝐏𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐄 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐃:
Please, do not romanticize any of the trauma that is/may be shown in this story. Also, do 𝑵𝑶𝑻 share your traumatic backstory in the comments. Failure to abide by this would result in you getting muted as well as a deleted comment.

I'll be completely transparent, I (and other potential readers) others don't look forward to breezing through the comments, expecting to find regular commentary, only to come across you oversharing how your family neglected you and left you to fend for yourself—we don't need to know something so intimate on such an open platform.

Also, it can be very triggering to have to read such things, so once again, I'm not being "uncaring" or "cold-hearted".

Remember, this is a public site and others engage on it too; be mindful of others' mental state as well as your own.

Also, for the love of Gods above, do 𝑵𝑶𝑻 refer to me as Author-nim/Author-Chan, etc. if you're not either one of the two or are seriously learning the language/culture; because I'm not Korean/Japanese it's basically fetishizing Korean/Japanese cultural titles when bestowing them upon me—so just call me Xani.

And finally, and most importantly, as you read, please don't be shocked if (keyword: 'if' so it may or may not even happen) there is use of broad/random signifiers such as "brown", "twists", "curls", etc. when describing features/hairstyles and types for characters in the book; it won't be the main focus, nor constantly used throughout the story, just sprinkled here and there to add a bit more realism (in my opinion).

The aim and goal of my writing is to be inclusive and immersive for POC individuals that come across my work(s). I want to create something that includes everyone, especially those who often feel left out (*cough* POC-readers*cough*).

If this is something that upsets you, well, then leave 💀. I promise, there are thousands of other reader-inserts that provide the Y/N and their friends with 'pale skin' and 'pink blushing cheeks' descriptions to satisfy your cravings to read books that cater to you 🫶🏾.

𝐄𝐃𝐈𝐓 [Dec. 01, 2024]: P.S.: Oh, and sorry if I come across as blunt or bitchy (trust me, I've been getting notes—and even emails 💀—about it lately). I promise I'm not like this in real life! It's just that I prefer to ensure all bases are covered when I write disclaimers, and sometimes that tone can come off differently in text than intended.

For a bit of context, I'm neurodivergent (autistic), which means I tend to prioritize clear communication and structure—sometimes to the point of being overly thorough. I don't use that as an excuse, but it does explain why I approach things the way I do.

And to be honest, my 'overly extra' or 'bitter' tone (yes, I've been told it's bitter and to just shut up and write because it's just fanfiction) isn't about trying to be combative or overly serious. It comes from a mix of past experiences where things spiraled out of control—people trauma-dumping in the comments, disregarding boundaries, or outright misinterpreting what I was trying to communicate.

Those moments taught me a lot, but they also left me overstimulated and anxious because I had to step in, whether that meant deleting comments, ignoring things entirely, or, in the worst cases, directly addressing someone and essentially scolding them (which, trust me, is not my idea of fun). Just thinking about those situations makes me uneasy, so that's why I tend to over-explain and sound a little "extra"—it's my way of protecting my peace.

I get that not everyone takes fanfiction this seriously, and that's okay. But for me, my writing is something I pour a lot of care and effort into—fanfic or not—so I feel it's worth being clear and firm upfront.

Being upfront also helps me avoid situations that can become unnecessarily stressful, so if that rubs people the wrong way, I genuinely apologize—but at the same time, I have to prioritize what keeps this space manageable and enjoyable for me and my readers.

Once again, I genuinely apologize; it's not my intention to come off harsh or unwelcoming, nor is it my intention to run any of you away.

I hope that clears things up a bit! I'm genuinely grateful for those who take the time to read, engage, and share their thoughts (even if we don't always see eye to eye). 💕

Thanks again for being here, and I hope you enjoy the story! 🫶🏾
