I posted the preview of I Love You, Sir two days ago, and while I was hopeful, it hasn’t gained much attention so far. With only three votes, I’m starting to think maybe now isn’t the right time to republish it. I can’t help but feel it might be a quiet sign from the universe to let it go.
          	
          	Maybe the moment has passed. Maybe the story already served its purpose when it first touched readers’ hearts. And that’s okay.
          	
          	For now, I’ll be putting it on hold. I’m not saying it’s the end—just that I might need to step back and rethink things a little.

Thank you for your response admin, I get it now, and I really appreciate how much you’re looking out for the story and the author. Honestly, I felt so happy when I saw it was back na nakalimutan ko pa mag-vote. I didn’t realize how much that simple click meant.
          	  
          	  As a student, I do get busy, but I’ll support as much as I can—because this story means a lot to me. It stuck with me, and it gave me something real. 
          	  
          	  Thankyou.

@yowbeepbeep This is Admin Dex.
          	  
          	  I understand the usual reasoning—that people might be busy or simply haven’t seen the update yet. But that’s not what happened here. I monitored everything closely. The preview for I Love You, Sir already has 69 views—but only 3 votes (and one of those is mine, which means only 2 others actually clicked the star).
          	  
          	  I was the one who told the author about it, and I was also the one—like always—who advised him to hold off on releasing the rest. Knowing him, as kind and generous as he is, he was ready to publish the entire story right after finding the lost manuscript. He wanted to give it all right away. But I said no.
          	  
          	  Maybe some readers are waiting for the full story to be released before they engage. That’s not going to happen. Not this time.
          	  
          	  As his close friend and mentor, I’m standing by this: I Love You, Sir will not be dumped all at once. It will be released chapter by chapter—one day at a time. If you truly want the story to come back to life, support it from the beginning. Show up. Read. Vote.
          	  
          	  That’s all we ask.

@Shujin_88 Author, I get you.
          	  Sometimes it really feels like the universe is giving us a sign to let go, pero maybe it's just telling you to pause… not quit. 3 votes doesn’t mean no one cares, maybe people just haven’t seen it yet. You know how life gets busy.
          	  
          	  And who knows? Baka yung story mo, it’s still meant to reach someone at the right time. Baka hindi lang ngayon, pero soon.
          	  
          	  Kaya if you need a break, go. Pero don’t close the door on it just yet. You fought hard to get that story back—baka this time, it just needs a good timing!

Hello Author. Have a good day and Advance happy Holidays. Katatapos ko lang po sa "The Other Half" ganda po plot niyo napaiyak niyo ako subra. I Recco the story sa online friends ko po and more on them ay ARTIST, so they NOTICE about sa BOOK COVER niyo  ay from AI, They Advice na sana ma Change nyo po ang BC na hindi na siya from AI. IF EVER MABASA NIYO PO ITO, WAG NIYO PO SANA MAMASAMAIN. Yun lang po. Godbless ♡

...unless one of those so-called "artist" friends will create the book covers then ibang usapan na yun. Kung hindi, pwede ba tigil tigilan ng mga artist na yan ang pagkainsecure nila sa AI. Face it, we are now living in an era of AI. As long as we don't use it in a bad way, I think artistry and AI should coexist.

@ThaddeausEnrileMoon this is Dex, the admin of Shujin's Wattpad account. I was the one who created those covers using AI (with the author's approval of course). You are a new reader so I assume you didn't know the struggle the author had to have decent book covers for his novels. He used to use images from the internet - constantly worrying about copyright issues and the likes. He even asked his readers if there are some who are talented enough to create "original" book covers for him, but none stepped forward. You see, the author is not being paid here. So he wouldn't pay for a professional layout artist for his book covers.
            
            We appreciate the gesture to recommend the author and his works to your friends but if those so-called friends would focus on the cover and make it an issue, without trying to focus on the contents first, then no offense, but we don't need them anywhere near Shujin's works.
            
            I don't see the logic of it at all.

@ThaddeausEnrileMoon and what kind of book cover would you prefer if I may ask? Anong masama kung AI? At least yung content ay hindi AI. Dun kayo magreact
