@Renny_1359 wow—thank you so much for this message! It honestly means a lot. Writing this story has taught me so much, especially when it comes to pacing. I definitely struggled with it early on, but I think I started to get the hang of it as I went, and I’m glad it feels more solid in the recent chapters. I'm really happy to hear the story pulled you in eventually—that kind of connection is what keeps me going. And seriously, thanks for checking in too. I’m doing okay and still writing! messages like yours keep me going. Thanks again for reading and sticking with it! :) ✨
