Restart My Life: The CEO's Second Chance was my very first completed novel, and honestly, it's super memorable to me for that reason alone. I started it during the pandemic when I had way too much time to think about random plots. Looking back, it definitely has a childish side, but maybe that's what makes it kind of charming.
Kendra: Villainess by Fate was never meant to be serious. It was literally my "I'm bored, let's just write something" novel. To be honest, it's the type of story that makes you go, "Wait... what did I just read?" I didn't expect anyone to like it, but when people actually did, I thought, "Okay... guess I should keep writing then." That's how it came back from hiatus.
She Dreamed the End was me being ambitious. I wanted it to feel like one of those big "revelation" type stories-a disaster, apocalypse, end-of-the-world kind of vibe. But somewhere along the way, I lost confidence and felt like I didn't pull it off. Now I'm just staring at it like, "Do I even know how to continue this?"
He Let Me Go The Billionaire Held Me Close is a little heavier. I wrote it during a really rough time, when I was dealing with postpartum depression and my hormones were everywhere. Because of that, the female lead ended up suffering a lot, and her recovery dragged on for so many chapters. Even after her so-called "rebirth," she still stayed weak and timid. I think it reflects where I was emotionally at that point in my life.
Vampire Queen of the Apocalypse was me going, "Okay, let's make a female lead who's both adorable and strong." I had really high expectations for this one and wrote it seriously, hoping it would come out the way I pictured it in my head.
Back to You: A love Rewritten feels like a mix between Restart My Life and Kendra, but this time I gave the female lead a warmer personality and added a more serious tone. I kind of love how it turned out, and I hope someone else does too.
