Chapter 23 is published! You guys ready for another gym fight?

Chapter 22 is now live! Let me know what you guys think!
          
          P.S. I've been changing my writing style over the course of my time on Wattpad. How different do the newer chapters feel compared to the older ones? Back then, I was focused mostly on making each chapter feel like an episode from the Pokémon anime, but recently I've been more focused on using actual writing techniques.

Chapter 21 of ATwB is live! Sorry for the wait--editing took longer than expected.
          
          (P.S. I saw another author do this on their board. What do you guys think of me giving summaries/blurbs of the chapter once I post? Would it be fun or potentially give away spoilers?)

You may have noticed I’ve been updating ATwB every week. I’ve figured out a bit of a process that makes writing and editing a lot easier to fit into my schedule, so I hope you’re enjoying the chapters!
          
          I’ve got a bit of a backlock of stuff I need to edit, so I might be doing a bit more work on the ToD! But for now, hopefully I can still upload a new Pokémon chapter by Wednesday. This was one of the rare times I disliked a chapter so much I opted to rewrite it from scratch (which is something I do actually recommend doing IF you have the time).

Have you ever had to delete an entire scene whole writing? I had to do that for the first time in a while. It felt fine originally, but something just didn't feel right when I read the whole thing. I cut it out and pasted it into my "deleted scenes" doc ●︿●.
          
          Bright side, I immediately started getting mind blowing ideas for, like, a random side character at the VERY end of the book XD

Okay. This has to stop. BOT COMMENTERS, GET OUT OF MY BOOKS!
          
          It was funny at first. Like "oh, jokes on you, I'll accept your vote and block you now!" But I just got FIVE bot comments from accounts made in the last two days. Most promote their digital art and one started talking about characters and events that clearly did not happen. It is making me feel drained and frustrated every time I see a new comment thinking a human being enjoyed the story I spend hours of my passion crafting only to realize it was probably ChatGPT. This is happening both on ATwB and the Truth or Dare.
          
          I have been reporting every single one, don't worry. I just needed the vent.

Yeah, it can be really annoying, but recently it’s like they’ve multiplied. Wattpad needs to do something about it
