Deciphering CertifiedReader

CertifiedReader is one of BLANKPAGE's most infamous readers.

Nobody knows who he is, nobody knows why he's like that, and yet his short (slightly strange, mostly confusing) comments -- sometimes a full sentence if he's feeling generous -- have sparked countless discussions, arguments, theories, and emotional breakdowns.

For years, both writers and readers have tried to impress him, annoy him, decipher him, bait him into leaving a longer comment, and maybe even earn his attention. Whether it was a community or a cult remains unclear to this day.

Most failed, joined the ranks of other victims, then eventually moved on and disappeared into silence.

But a few stayed and became self-proclaimed experts: a hopeless romantic and serial shipper; a mystery writer obsessed with crime documentaries; and a fantasy writer fueled entirely by chaos.

Together, they've accumulated years of CertifiedReader knowledge, questionable translation skills, and enough screenshots to fill an evidence locker.

Until a brand new writer receives a one-word comment.

And suddenly, the investigation begins again.

Because sometimes, one word is enough to RUIN your day.
