Hi everyone. Sorry to disappoint you, but this isn't an update. Though I'm here to talk about the update,

The new chapter is already half written, and that half contains almost 7k words.
If you guys are really impatient, I can post that first half part tomorrow.

My plan was to keep it as one complete chapter because I thought it flowed better that way. But even if I post just the first half part, I'll make sure it still reads smoothly and holds its impact. So you're not getting anything less this way, also.

I barely get time to write during weekdays - most of my writing happens on weekends.

So consider this a quick poll:

Let me know. Would you prefer I post the half chapter tomorrow or wait for the full one?
Feel free to suggest honestly - there’s no need to hesitate with me.

I’ll go with what the majority of you decide.

Also i want to express something for a while now,

I see people constantly asking me for updates - few of them are patient, but some just start expressing their annoyance, even saying I test their patience or disappoint them.
And the irony is, it’s always the ones who randomly pop into my MB talking about the late update and me not keeping my words like they've been here the whole time.

And when it comes to actually supporting, voting, sharing, or appreciating, they disappear. A chapter read by almost 2k people barely crosses 150 votes.

Funny how they want consistent updates but can’t offer consistent support.

And by saying that, I'm not asking anyone to cheer me up or encourage me. I don't need someone's words to do something I'm already passionate about.
In fact, if you’ve never voted/commented before, please don’t start now just because you’ve read this post.

Because I notice every single reader who shows up consistently, even those who don’t comment but still vote. I know who you are, and I appreciate you deeply.

What I do not want or really detest is guilt-driven or pity-based attention/ appreciation.

There’s a reason I never demand votes, ask for comments, or set big targets.
I believe in genuine appreciation even if it comes from just a handful of people who truly feel it in their heart and choose to express it.

This post isn’t meant to offend anyone. I’m simply stating how I feel as a creator.
But if you feel personally attacked by this… you’re free to leave. I'm not going to apologize for being honest.

To my regular readers who constantly support me, love the book, and have been here for so long despite my irregular update - this message is not for you.
I love you. And I’m so thankful you’re here.

Thanks for your patience and support.
Stay safe.
Stay healthy.
