So yeah. I was going to post Chapter Nineteen. But nope, we're doing this instead. If your here on this book to just read the chapters, hold on, this is very important to discuss.
I have a friend... who I'll call Rose (because I don't want to give out her actual name). She started Wattpad because I was talking about it with her and started making an Aaron x Reader. This was her first book, meaning it would be the most important in her writing experience. So yeah, everything was going smoothly and she got votes here and there, and I must say that's an achievement. She was around chapter 5.... where it all went downhill. Since it was an x Reader, it was obvious Aphmau and Aaron couldn't be together, so she just put her with Laurance. Harmless, right? It was one of the original ships and till this day people still ship it (even though he doesn't appear anymore smh).
Some people had the nerve to put hate on her feed, just because she didn't put the ship they wanted.
Of course, she took it calmly and responded to it professionally. But from then on, it got worse.
I think the people took it personally and started insulting not only the ships, but her writing in general.
Then, she got upset and deleted everything. Her chapters, her account, everything. And the thing with her is, she won't tell anyone she's hurting. She thinks she can deal with it alone. Of course, she can in some situations, but from then on she started acted gloomy and sad. Heck, I didn't even know about this until I was talking about Wattpad with her and she started crying!

So yeah, that's the reason I'm making this chapter.
What to say and not say to an author.
(I know some people who support many authors and I thank the kind souls for that, but I need to address this.)
First off, uSe YOUR FREAKING MIND AND DON'T INSULT THE AUTHOR!
They spend time and effort trying to please their readers. Don't discriminate it. That's like building a sand castle as a kid and then a bunch of bullies come and stomp all over it.Second off, just because a person has a different opinion on something doesn't mean you should snap on them. Everyone has a different opinion on everything, chill out and drink a cup of water.
Third off, support them! Getting positive feedback really motivates writers, therefore you and others get more chapters!
So yeah.
Also, if you see someone being rude to another commenter or even the author, stand up for them.
Please.
