Hello, posting my review po! I didn't expect this writing style actually, I thought na yung POV siya hindi texting na story but I enjoyed it a lot. What I like when it comes to stories are the slow burn romance and may part na nakakatawa talaga, It makes me want to continue reading it without getting bored. I really like stories na yung boy ay kunwari ayaw niya kay girl but in reality he's actually obsessed with her. The more I read it, the more I get intrigued. Honestly, this is a 100/10 for me. Let's be real, this story is enjoyable.

          OVERALL RATING: 10/10 
          
          It’s touching, creative, and wonderfully written. What Took You So Long? isn’t just a story, it’s a feeling. It’s like reading someone’s heart laid bare in messages. You managed to make every chapter feel alive, warm, and real. You reminded me why I love reading stories like this yung tipong simple lang sa unang tingin, pero pag natapos mo, boom, suddenly you’re quiet, emotional, and smiling at the same time. So yes, kahit madaming chapters, kahit mahaba, KERING-KERI kasi bawat isa worth it. You made something that people would want to reread, not just because it’s beautiful, but because it feels like home. Continue writing like this, please. You have such a gift for storytelling, for making words feel human.

And your writing style? ANG GANDA. Parang soft pero may kurot. You know how to mix humor, nostalgia, and pain all at once, ‘yung tipong isang line lang, tapos bigla kang tatahimik kasi may tama. Hindi siya pilit, hindi OA. It’s genuine, it’s warm, it’s full of feeling. That’s rare, and you nailed it. What makes it even more special is the epistolary format itself. It feels like an AU thread na nag-evolve into something deeper, parang love letter to communication, to missed chances, to slow healing. You made it feel intimate. Every message reads like something someone actually wrote at 2 AM when they couldn’t sleep. If I were to give a bit of critique, konti lang talaga! Maybe you can smoothen a few transitions between some entries, just to make the emotional beats land even harder. Pero honestly? Even without that, it already flows beautifully. The tone is consistent, the feelings are clear, and the storytelling? Very nice.

MY FEEDBACK & CRITIQUE FOR WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG ✨
          
          Grabe, What Took You So Long? got me feeling all sorts of emotions. Hindi ko alam kung matatawa ako, maiiyak, o mapapangiti na lang ng tahimik kasi ang ganda talaga ng pagkakasulat mo. From the very first chapter pa lang, you already had my attention, yung style mo, clean, sincere, at sobrang nakaka-connect sa reader. Epistolary stories are not easy to write, ang hirap magpanatili ng emotion and flow using just letters or messages, pero ikaw? Ginawa mong madali basahin at madaling maramdaman. Parang may kausap ako habang binabasa, and every word feels personal, like I’m witnessing two souls trying to find each other again. 
          Yung pacing mo, perfect. Kahit madami siyang chapters, hindi siya nakakasuya. Every part may emotional weight, may kwento, may progress. Walang filler, walang dull moment. Each entry adds something, either a small heartbreak, a quiet longing, or that subtle kilig na mararamdaman mo kahit walang grand gesture. You built the story with so much care and patience na ramdam mo yung sincerity sa bawat update.

Tbh, hindi ako fan ng chat story kasi hindi ako mahilig magbasa ng maiksing story, but nag-enjoy ako sa story na Why took you so long HAHAHA lalo na sa alitan nina Vivi at Arym at minsan naiinis kay Ainsley. Like teh? Pero syempre hindi ko I-spo-spoil. Bet ko ang story, dahil hindi lang siya kulitan at asaran kundi pinapakita rin dito ang pagtanggap. Lalo na sa nangyari kay Vivi. Ako 'yon iiyak ako, chariz! Seriously, I like her personality. Maganda ang story, tho hindi ako tumagal kasi hindi ako fan ng ganitong style ng story. But for me, it was really good. Thank you!
