How tf did the new book already top 100 on 6 tags?

So...
          
          Long time no see. First things first, yes it's almost been a year or 2 since I've updated one of my books and I apologize.
          
          The whole reason I got into writing was because I was in a terrible place in my life and used writing as an escape. As I wrote my first book, things got better and I continued the love for it with my other books. However as life went on and I finally got to college, I didn't have any more time for it. 
          
          And as life is, I found myself back at that terrible place I was in long ago. So, I wanted to return to the thing that helped me. 
          
          I wanted to start fresh and I feel like I would not do my unfinished books justice if I just returned and added to them without rereading them myself, so that I'm not adding shit that doesn't make sense in the context of those works.
          
          So while I still plan on updating them, I’ve decided I also wanna start fresh.  I got a new book and a lot of it has to do with my own life, so I apologize if some of the things (aka character traits) aren't one-to-one to how they really are in the AOT universe. Don't worry though, I won't stray too  far and end up writing a version of Sasha who hates food or god forbid a version where Ymir is straight!
          
          To those who have followed me since my first book, I'm glad ya'll stayed and for those who are just finding me, read the first book, it seemed to be okay.
          
          Without further a due, enjoy

Hey guys,
          
          I know it’s been awhile. I’m in my 3rd year of college, so things have been busy. If you noticed, I posted 2 chapters for “to be us again.” I think I’m going to focus on that book a bit more than “The boy who always smiles,” can honestly I feel like there’s so things that need to change to that one. I do want to hear y’all’s opinion tho. Would you like to see more updates to TBWAS or TBUA? Id appreciate how you guys felt. I’ll try my best to post on some sort of regular basis, but not promises. 
          
          Thank you all. 

Amigo, ¿Sigues vivo?

Sorry for chapters being very spread apart. Senior year in-person has taken a good Chungking of my time, so until spring break and summer break, chapters will be spread out like this. 
          
          Don’t worry tho cuz I am fully committed to completing all my books and starting new ones. 
          
          Btw “To be us again” will be updating shortly.
          
          Again sorry and keep reading!

Yeah so hi,
          
          I’m currently writing. 
          
          That’s all you need to know

Hey guys,
          
          As I was writing chapter 13, I got a pretty distressing notification from a WATTPAD writer. I won't go into detail about what it said, but it does cover heavy topics.
          
          Mental health is a serious matter to say the least and should be taken seriously. I use writing to deal with my depression and believe it or not, I do write more than AOT fanfics. Everyone has a different way of dealing with depression or anxiety or etc and sometimes it takes trial and error to find it. 
          
          I hope for those who are in pain to not think that they’re alone. I know I’m just some random author, but I hope you reach out to people. It’s easier said than done, yes, but once you do, it can get easier. Family, friends, therapy, anyone. 
          
          You’re not alone
          
          And to those who know someone in pain, be there for them. Show them that they’re not alone. You’d be surprised how much a simple “I love you,” can change a person’s day. Support them no matter what and keep them safe. 
          
          To those who know the author I am referring to, then please reach out to their message board or dms and just tell them you’re not alone. 
          
          Writing here definitely helped me a lot with my depression and anxiety, so I want to take the chance to reach out my appreciation to you guys. Every comment, vote, and follow, I treasure because it means at least someone is enjoying my dumb writing. And it’s safe to say I’m not the only one who feels this way. 
          
          So please take the moment to reach out to someone and just talk with them. I hope everyone is safe and doing well. 
          
          Love you guys.

Do you guys want to see me focus on one specific book and then move on to the next or keep it as it is and releasing chapters for whatever book?
          
          I perfectly fine with either or but was curious to hear what y’all prefer
          
          Btw: Something new is coming soon

Hey guys!
          
          I know I know it’s been awhile since an update, but fear not!
          
          I’ve actually started writing chapters for To Be Us Again and Boy Who Always Smiles. I’m predicting then to be released by Saturday, soooooo see you then
