So I've got some good and disappointing news! While AMANDI is already climbing up to 890 reads, it hurts to say that it won't be making it to the Wattys for it didn't fit their rigid standalone sequel rules (눈_눈)
While there are some plotlines that would only make more sense if you've read TCOTRB (or at least that was my initial view on AMANDI), I think you can still read the sequel on its own and at least understand what happened prior.
Like dude! If your average Wattpad reader can't even be bothered to read the recap page at the start and try to piece together how things unfolded leading up to the events of AMANDI, then it's just plain lazy in my opinion.
If you grew up in the 2000's, chances are a lot of cartoons and comics tend to have quick recaps of previous episodes at the start. They always say "Previously on ... ", with a couple of examples being "W.I.T.C.H." and "Winx." I think we should bring back that trend.
Anyway, there's plenty of better opportunities for everyone. It is thanks to them that I shall continue working on my next best novel called "AX-17: THE KIRA DIARIES" (๑•̀ ᴗ•́)૭✧
