hello. i debated about writing to you, since we've never spoken/interacted before and this might come out of the blue. before saying anything, i'd just like you to know that i'm one of those who read and commented on the latest update for the story 'rhapsody of our hearts' and was made aware about your comment(s) regarding one of the chapters. unfortunately, prior to my comment to the writer's reaction, i didn't read yours and in hindsight, i wish i did.
i had to scour the comment section of that chapter to find the original comment that sparked the outburst, expecting something offensive (or anything near). but i was surprised to find it to be mild. far from offensive. and i read other comments you've written for other chapters as well. there's one where you wrote how you wish the two characters would grow up, not to be too dependent on each other - a sentiment i echo during my own readthrough. only i did not care to inform the writer, as i'm not as invested in the story as you (evidently) are. i also agree with some of the other comments you've written and that sort of made me feel bad for this whole situation right now.
it's unfortunate that the writer has taken such an offense over something so trivial. and decided to call you out over it. what you've offered is a valid criticism of the story as far as i've seen, and writers should be open-minded enough to accept it as such. hopefully you won't get any backlash over this issue. hang in there!

Parodying, thank you so much for your comments and for reaching out when you got all the facts. Like I told the writer, it was not a criticism but an honest opinion on how I felt regarding parts of that particular chapter. As you said you've read some of my other posts, you can see I gave lots of praise and positive feedback. As an author,a person has to be able accept that not all aspects of a story is going to please everyone. Doesn't mean the story itself, is not good. That's all I meant. I'm glad to know someone saw my side, because it was not my intention to create a conflict or confusion over a story. I am a voracious reader, and I truly appreciate the time and energy these authors put into writing and posting their stories.
Again, I thank you for your kind words. I said what I felt needed to be said to the author, and left it at that. I'm not going to keep escalating it because some feel like I should not have spoken my opinion. But I did want to thank you, personally. ✌
