You're free to stop reading. I'm not charging anyone to read my work. I write because I love telling stories. This is my hobby, not my profession.I'm not glorifying rape, cheating, or any other harmful behavior. Those are things I strongly disagree with. I write flawed characters because flawed people exist, and growth is only meaningful when there are mistakes to overcome.Have I made writing mistakes? Of course I have. Every writer does, and I'm always learning.I'm not hurt by criticism. Constructive criticism helps writers improve. What disappoints me is criticism that comes without empathy or an attempt to understand the story being told.
          	
          	Before judging a character, try to understand their journey.
          	
          	That's all I ask.

          Hey, Cloudies! I hope you're all doing well. 
          These days I've been rereading Entangled. Yes, my own book. As I went through the chapters, I also read the comments. Most of them were filled with love and support, and I truly appreciate every single one of you. But there were also many criticisms, especially about Jungkook's character, and I honestly feel that some of you completely misunderstood him.
          Yes, Jungkook left Taehyung. Yes, he didn't fight for him when he should have. But did you ever stop to consider the difference between the two of them? Taehyung grew up in a loving family. He knew what affection, warmth, and security felt like. Jungkook didn't. He spent his entire childhood with an absent mother and an emotionally distant father. That kind of upbringing changes a person.Should he have fought for Taehyung? Absolutely. But this story was never about a perfect man who always made the right decisions. It was about a broken man who slowly learned how to stand up for himself, for the person he loved, and for his own heart
