Hey @Philitric
Firstly, it feels great to see TGIOR completed. It's a story I was intrigued about, ever since the first time I read TGICR. It was a time when I wasn't actively commenting or messaging people on this app and was a silent reader. Which is why you'll notice, I haven't commented on either TGICR or TGIWR, while I've read and loved both. I actually read TGIWR first and after its epilogue, decided I wanted to know how Angad & Meera's journey panned out. Eventually I ended up liking TGICR romance more. I remember coming back to a couple of chapters and re-reading even after the first time, cuz I felt this weird attachment to them.
I wanted to read TGIOR immediately after and belatedly realised it hadn't been updated in months. But eventually my love for office romance & curiosity for Vahni's story got the better of me and I ended up reading, tho I was dead against starting ongoing works.
I had become quite vocal on wattpad by this time so I decided I'll write to you telling you how much I loved TGICR, Angad, Meera and the rest of the characters. That's what led me to send you that little appreciation post, a few months back. Since you were inactive, I didn't expect a reply. Imagine my surprise when you actually did. That too, on such a personal note. I wished you well and resigned myself to accepting that TGIOR might not get updates in the near future, even it would, it would be irregular.
So around 10 days back when you announced daily updates until TGIOR's completion, you best believe, I was thrilled. And today, TGIOR has finally come to a close. It's kinda bittersweet. This is the only book I've so patiently waited for. I, as a rule, avoid ongoing works and binge-read completed ones. It's to avoid subjecting myself to the frustration of waiting for updates while also running the risk of writers suddenly going MIA. I dunno what it was about Dev and Vahni that made me break my rule. They were oddly captivating. Now, coming to the book itself...
