a/n - confession

Okay, I kind of need to come clean about this book.

I know a lot of people didn't and probably won't read this (because it's a mature book), but I'm terrible with initial guilt, so I guess I have a confession to make.

This book had loose plagiarism.

There is a book called 'soft', which is a WooSan book, and most paragraphs are similar or exact to those in that story. The plot is nothing similar, however. Another account questioned me about it and that initial guilt of basically copying someone else's work kinda got to me, so I actually contemplated deleting the book because what I did wasn't right.

I don't take pride in plagiarism, even if this is my first time plagiarising. I just really, really liked her style of writing and incorporated it into my book. I never used anyone else's work before, and if anything, I use it as writing practice. I didn't do this to blatantly steal her work. In fact, I'd actually like to apologize to the original writer. Although it was a few paragraphs, I still kinda feel terrible about it and I really can't handle guilt because I'm a soft person.

If you want to hate me for loosely using someone else's work, then do so, but know that I'm genuinely sorry about it and I didn't do this because I shamelessly wanted to steal her work. I, in fact, love her writing style and I guess I felt a bit envious that someone else could write that amazingly — but I never had malicious intent.

Most of the paragraphs are contained in the smut chapters, which is pretty difficult to rewrite. I will not be responding to any hate comments because I have already explained myself. If you do not understand, then it's not my fault. Once again, I apologize to the writer of 'soft' @yeonosang. Plagiarism is never good, and it never will be.

If this is regarded as strong plagiarism, I will delete this story — permanently, if I have to. I feel so guilty for doing this :(
