TDRB Chapter Progress Update:
          
          I have successfully written half of the first scene… and that is, unfortunately, where my productivity ended eheh.
          
          I’ve been getting distracted quite easily during weekend, and writing this particular chapter has also felt a little emotionally heavy, especially with homework joining. So, progress has been slower than I would have liked, I'm sorry.
          
          However, I am NOT giving up. I may be fighting distractions, homework, and my own emotions at the moment, but I shall return to it.
          
          Thank you for your patience ❤️

Hey there! ✨
          
          So i'm here to say that i'll be a bit busy for a while since it's quiz week for me, and exams are coming up next week. That also means chapter updates might take a little longer than usual.
          
          Honestly, it's even more painful for me because I'm so excited to write the next chapter. I already have the scene planned out, and I can't wait to share it with you all. ✨
          
          On a happier note, August 7 marks the 2nd anniversary of TDRB! ❤️ I still can't believe this story is already two years old.
          
          I'd also like to say thank you so much to everyone who has been reading, supporting, and sticking with this journey. I'm not going to promise when this story will end, but I want you all to know that we're currently in the second to last arc. Your continued support truly means the world to me, and I appreciate every single one of you.
          
          See you all again once I survive this quiz and exam season! Wish me luck!

          New chapter of TDRB is finally out! ✨❤️
          
          Well, it went out around 2 AM because I scheduled it... and then I completely forgot because I was already asleep by midnight after finishing my homework ahah. 
          
          On another note, I've been watching a few writing-related videos on YouTube lately, and one comment I kept hearing surprised me, that some readers only pay attention to the dialogue and skim or skip everything else.
          
          As someone who loves writing stories, that honestly made me a little sad.
          
          To me, a novel is more than conversations. The narration, descriptions, atmosphere, worldbuilding, character thoughts, and all those little details are what make the story feel alive. They're the parts that take the longest to write, too.
          
          Of course, everyone has their own reading style, and that's completely okay. This isn't aimed at anyone in particular. I just wanted to share how I feel as a writer. When readers notice and appreciate those details, it genuinely means a lot.
          
          At the end of the day, I'm just grateful to everyone who's giving TDRB a chance. Thank you for reading. ❤️

@ShigureShinyGaze personally I'm not a fan of dialogue unless it genuinely changes/reveals something. It is the little things that are implied that make me enjoy a story. I love getting into the character's psychology. And if you've read my work (which you have haha) you'll realize the heart of my story is usually in what is implied through actions, not what is explicitly stated. Cheers, Sarah!

Hey everyone! It's been a few days since I last announced something here, hehe.
          
          I just finished enrolling for my final semester in university! ✨And yes... I'm an irregular student, so I'll be finishing my remaining courses this 1st semester. Unfortunately, I'll have to wait until the 2nd semester to officially graduate.
          
          Oh, and I changed my profile picture! For anyone wondering, yes—that's me in a manhwa version. ✨

Hey there, Shigure here.
          
          I just wanted to let you know that I have my final exam for my summer class this Friday. Starting today, I'll be focusing more on studying and preparing for it, so I may not be as active for a while.
          
          Once my exam is over, I'll be back to writing and reading here again. Thank you for your understanding, and I hope everyone has a wonderful day!✨❤️

          New chapter of TDRB is finally out! ✨
          
          After battling a stubborn case of writer's block, I’m happy to say the chapter is finally published.
          
          Unfortunately, I originally planned to release it this morning, but it ended up being delayed until tonight. Earlier today, my family and I lost a dog(died), Sophie, she is a Shih Tzu who had been with us for five years. It has been an emotionally exhausting day, and we are all still grieving her loss.
          
          Thank you for your patience and understanding. I hope you enjoy the new chapter. ❤️
