Owemjii Author I just found out like right now that you have tiktok acc po pala. It was the vid of your book The Bathala Games and I said, wait, the author's name is familiar?? Then, I proceed to stalk you to confirm and I was right hehe. Wala lang, nakakatuwa lang ma remind about my fave author. Even tho ang tagal ko na nabasa yung mga stories mo, some of them are even unfinished, I'm still waiting sa updates nila hehe. So proud of u on your new book The Bathala Games, wishing you more success po ❤️❤️

Hi Ate! I recently created a new WP account because I couldn’t stop thinking about a book I read before, and I’ve been trying to find it again.
          
          I’m not 50% sure if it was your story since I have a really rusty memory, so I hope it’s okay to ask. It’s about a girl who’s very innocent, almost sheltered, and there’s this church-like place and a man (not so much) who seems both present and not at the same time. She eventually goes to a new school where she feels out of place, and she starts learning how to understand her emotions and what it means to be human. I also remember there being a forest near the university.
          
          I read it back when I was still in high school, and now that I’ve already graduated, I still find myself looking for it because it really stayed close to my heart. It felt so magical and different from anything I’ve read before. It’s a breath of fresh air. Even now, after reading so many books (including international ones), there’s still something about that story that feels so unique and unforgettable  It left so many emotions in me that I still can’t fully explain, and honestly, I haven’t found anything quite like it since.
          
          If this happens to be your work, may I ask if it was self-published or where I could possibly read it again?
          
          Thank you so much, and I’m sorry if this isn’t your story!

NOTICE OF STORY REMOVAL
          
          Hello. 
          
          3 of my stories: Royal Sinners, Holy Sinners, and Color Me Red have been under Wattpad Originals (formerly Paid Programs) since 2020. 
          Being part of the program and earning from my stories gave me a sense of legitimacy that boosted my confidence as an author. 
          
          After six long years, I have decided to remove the three stories from Wattpad Originals and temporarily unpublish them from the app.
          
          They will undergo heavy editing with trusted editors (esp Substance) and come back as stories you still love, but aligned more with my new pen name, E. Manawari.
          
          I sincerely thank everyone who has read Royal Sinners, Holy Sinners, and Color Me Red. I would also like to thank Wattpad for the opportunity they gave my stories.
          
          To my readers,
          Fear not, they will return. This is a temporary farewell.
          
          Removal and unpublishing will be effective on March 2, 2026.
          
          Forever grateful,
          E. Manawari

Ay hala, pwede na mag-poll sa chapter updates???? Galiiiing 

Hello po, ate E! I randomly saw one of your posts on ig kaya bigla kong naalala yung mga stories mo po, reader niyo po ako dito sa Wattpad since highschool po ako! Congratulations po sa achievements mo and published books mo right now, sana makabili rin ako someday! Naalala ko pa rin po pala si Momo, hopefully may chance na mapublish sila sa future! 

awww your stories are paid po pala, someone recommend it on blue app huhuhu badly want to read it pa naman since vampire pala yunnn sayang bc i do not have enought coins to unlock :((( but i am hoping na u get big one day!!

Hi, sana active ka pa dito. Tagal ko na na un-install si watty. Natapos ko before yubg Royal sinners. Every update abang na abang weekly. Nakakita ako sa nbs ng RS, binili ko sya kasi gusto ko ire-read. Kaso di pala sya tapos. Sana ma published din yung part 2. Para may hard copy din 

Hello po ate! Nahanap ko na rin yung Royal Sinners  super bitin kasi ako, binili ko po yung book version sa nbs and nag iisa AT nasa dulong likod pa po 'to ng ibang books, for only 99PHP (sale eh) hahaha. So glad na nahanap ko acc mo ate, nahirapan ako mag hanap dito sa wattpad  ang ganda ng story ate, sana eg sila ni Zak  ask ko na rin sana if may part 2 siya?? I LIKE THE TITLE KADA CHAP VERY ITALYA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

A lot happened while I was away, so I'll post a summary:
          
          1. I Highly Nominate is part of the honor list for The Severino Reyes Medal 2025
          2. I'm reprinting 'Damn it, Mariya!' Details soon!
          3. I made a website and it's sooo pretty (emanawari.com)
          4. The Bathala Games (a rewritten and new version of my old story) will be published by Penguin Random House SEA this January 2026. I can't believe it's been almost 10 years. I wrote it back in 2017.
          5. Most of the stories I unpublished are under heavy editing. 
           
          These are not writing-related, but I'd like to share them:
          6. I became a cat mom! I adopted a cat (but I think he adopted us coz he entered my mom's house and made himself at home.) His name is Loki.
          7. I built a house, nothing fancy, but it's all mine. 
          
          Hopefully, when I'm done with the editing, I can write more stories here on Wattpad. This platform shaped me today.  
          
          If you want to reach out, I'm more active on Tktok: e.manawari

Hi, po! It's been a while. I'm not sure if you remember replying to me before, but it really meant a lot to me, po. The first story I read was Mandirigma, and it made me follow you on Wattpad.
          
          Reading your stories became my way of coping with academic stress and everything else, and now, I'm finally graduating next week!
          
          I just wanted to say THANK YOU for writing such amazing stories. They've brought me so much comfort.
          
          When I find a job, I hope to finally purchase your books. It's been a longtime wish of mine, but I couldn’t fulfill it earlier because I needed to save up for my studies.
          
          I hope you're doing well and staying healthy always. 
          
          Lol. Dko sure ug nabasahan nimo ang first post po. hehe. I miss Momo po.
