I think sometimes we become so consumed by the negative aspects of something that we forget it may have also brought comfort, strength, or healing into someone else’s life. Yes, I’m talking about FMTIOY. For a long time, I was so focused on the fear of the wrong message being taken from this story that I stopped seeing the good it had done too. But after reading all your comments, messages, and experiences shared with me, I realized something I genuinely hadn’t understood before.
          	I never knew Neev’s journey had impacted some of you so deeply. I never knew this story became a source of comfort for some of you during your darkest periods, or that you found strength in Neev’s resilience when you needed something to hold onto the most. And hearing that honestly overwhelmed me emotionally because that was always the true heart of this book from the very beginning. HEALING.
          	I am so unbelievably conflicted after reading all your messages. A part of me still doesn’t want to continue the book because of the moral dilemma surrounding it. But another part of me desperately wants to see the end of this journey with all of you because I have spent so many years living with these characters in my head that they no longer feel fictional to me anymore.
          	They exist in the smallest parts of my daily life now. Sometimes I hear a specific part of a song I once imagined for Neev and Ansel, and suddenly the entire story comes rushing back into my mind. Sometimes while writing Theo’s dialogues, I get reminded of Kyler because they share similar energy in certain ways.

Ma'am it's your choice do what your heart tells u but this story is so much more than zev , the world building, all the characters ,the scenes ( book 1 ansel and neev cooking that indian dish , book 2 neev painting him, book 2 neev gifting him the bracelet, book 2 the whole part where neev is grieving for the lost baby the conflicted emotions she feels book 2 neev confronting zev and then jumping in the water book 1 silas asking neev if her mans broke ) the dialogues nd just the words u use it feels like poetry author  i wish i could have that skill too . The way you write personified would be poetry I hope u understand what I mean  
          	  I don't think anything has made me feel like your book has

Using vpn now.....just for this story I used to beg my sister for some money to use vpn ...... Like literally I would make deal with her that I would do all your home work and house chores ..... Write her project for 2 weeks..... To take some money for vpn.........in Wattpad there is no story like this....... Now I will not beg my sister for money...... Now I will not be on this platform...... I was going to give up on Wattpad but I found this story.....even on hiatus.... Author kept giving us character info..... Different perspectives.... Ansel back story ........ It breaks my heart that I am not able to read it again and leaving this story which was a part of my daily routine unfinished..... And that too at a point where their future is uncertain.... During hardship of their life ....... Noooooo ...... can't get over this.........I wish to find a partner like ansel......I have never been in a relationship before......I know what is love because of this story... because of ansel....love of neev.....love of Kyler and Nathan.....love of genesis.... everyone taught me love is selfless ......love is pure....I am crying while writing this.... actually.....this masterpiece will always be with me in my heart.....maybe my first love is ansel...... it's a secret..... please no telling okkk.....lots of love to author always ......

In which I didn't score good.....and I don't think I can get nice score ....buuut.....during all that time this story was with me.....it was the only thing consistent in my routine.......fighting depression and reading this story is a memory..... That is why I relate neev ..... Her depression.....her feelings.....it was like meeting myself...... And her strength gave me strength......I wish I will be strong like neev....have that quiet strength and elegance like ansel....and fierce like ansel to protect and provide for the ones I love ...... Genesis quiet love and pure heart..... Kyler's ability to be calm and make everyone laugh....Nathan and Noel responsible nature.....Ezra friendship......looks like I am forgetting the name but elemental elder kaelen echoborn child seth or seb.....I liked everyone and everything..... Byeee everyone.....love you alll ..... Mainly dear author.....I know it was difficult for you tooo......may God give you lots of happiness and good life....

when I first found FMTIOY... it was, obviously, an ongoing story. And for this kind of reason, I usually avoided reading ongoing stories.But after reading the first few chapters... something about this book just screamed  "you HAVE to give it a chance... otherwise youre just missing out." Now, yes, the book may be gone for now. But even if we never finish it, I'll always be insanely grateful that this book popped up that night because it genuinely changed me. It made me view things like love, empathy, character, trauma... in a much deeper manner.  I wish everyone could experience the emotion and happiness this book gave back to me.

My apologies, after wallowing in the sadness and disappointment a lil bit , I realise that more than of us , you have invested the most time energy emotion efforts into this book, you are way more connected to it than of us could be .
          If this pains us so much , I can only imagine it would be so much worse for you and yet you still choose to do the right thing and think about the consequences of your action , you are a very nice person for that and i hope uk that author , most of us wouldn't do it but u did .
          I respect you so much for that 
          But author i also don't want you to feel too bad , most things in life by themselves are neutral , people use it positively or negatively ( eg telegram could be used both for getting study material for kids who can't afford and disgusting criminals for their vile thing , I don't think it makes telegram bad or good ) 
          So pls don't beat yourself over this 
          I am feeling guilty to admit that I have also been a part of that dark romance audience or someone who likes obsession type stuff wtv , but the contrast of zev and ansel has made me see the difference between love and obsession and how loving someone and being loved is so much better than being an 'object ' of obsession where the other completely dehumanizes you. 
          U wrote something and diff people took diff things out of it , imo it's not your fault ( no offense)

I felt my heart drop when I read the line ' goodbye to fmtioy ' 
          Ansel is my most fav fictional character out of all others whether it be movie, kdramas or other books .
          Just yesterday I was updating fmtioy as my fav book in my diary and had been rereading fmtioy briefly before I had my exam and deleted Wattpad , in fact i downloaded it today to check if there's an update to the book.
          These characters felt real to me , their heartbreak, their pain , their happiness, their banters all felt very personal.
          In all my year's on Wattpad , I have never been as interactive with the book or the characters or as excited or attached ever . 
          As I write this , i remember thinking I wanted to grow up to be like neev , she's so perceptive, smart 
          She is a women I look upto and hold dear to me .
          It hurts to know I can't come back and read fmtioy anymore but I am glad I got to be a part of this journey and I will respect your decision author thank you for giving me this wonderful experience, I loved the world building, all the characters are so endearing , most importantly thanks for letting me know ansel.
          And to ansel , you are my first love , I hope I could be as strong , as empathetic , as selfless as you 
          I wish there were more people like you in this world and thanks for inspiring me to be like that .
          Author i wish you well
          I would still pray tho that maybe someday you'll write it again .

Honestly I don't like when people use sa to add realism if it has no value to the plot and i don't like it even more with dark romance that romanticize and sexualizes sa , but in your case I think u did a very job at showing the victims side of how deeply it taints you , you are never the same after , neev's pain is palpable I still have those vivid imagery in my head from when she lost the baby + it was indeed imp to the plot , it shows just how selfish, cruel of a character zev is , how his obsession is so different than true love . So imo u handled it with the  care and respect it deserves .

Guys, this is a good time to finally come to eight letters. I know you want to wait until it's done to binge it, but we are getting 2 chapters a week. Every now and then when the author feels like it, we get 3. If she graces us with a double update.
          Guys... we'll all miss FMTIOY, we'll miss the depth in each of the characters, the emotion... well guess what? Eight letters has that too. It has that same emotional writing style... that same variety of different types of characters, who you can adore and relate to on a special level.. please,
          A special request from me and every other reader currently reading Eight Letters, 
          Please read it. It's just as amazing, and it came from our beloved author aswell, so you'll love it, no doubt. 
          Im already feeling that similar excitement... the same I felt when I'd see a wattpad notification for FMTIOY, i already get it with Eight letters, 
          Please, give it a chance and dont wait to read it. 
          You won't regret it.
