I’m honestly feeling really frustrated with writing anime fanfiction because some readers seem to want everything spoon-fed instead of actually reading what’s on the page. So let me clarify this once—and consider it a gentle warning: my storytelling style relies heavily on subtext. That’s a core element of mystery writing in general.
          
          This isn’t meant to offend anyone, but if subtext feels confusing, it might help to read more conventional novels to get a better sense of how subtle storytelling works. When everything is spelled out explicitly, the writing stops feeling like art and starts reading like a science textbook—and that’s not the kind of story I want to create.

Love the A/N you posted ❤️ and now Wattpad forgot where I left off cuz I viewed it xD

Honestly, what really annoys me about this site is how some readers think they can freely trash or nitpick every single word in a story — not about grammar, flow, or writing structure, but the actual sentences and details the writer chose. They act like being overly critical somehow makes them smarter. News flash: it doesn’t.
          
          Writers are people too. I get it — people say, “Writers need to grow a thick skin.” Well, I did. I live in the real world, and my stories reflect the harsh reality I’ve lived through. But still, it’s exhausting to read comments that come off as cocky or just pointlessly nitpicky. It’s not constructive — it’s just annoying.
          

Sorry for ranting a bit—no offense—but I really disagree with the idea that my fiction is “too serious,” as if that automatically makes people lose interest. Maybe that’s true in some fandom spaces, but stories like mine are actually quite common in conventional novels or even on Wattpad—if people take the time to look, there are plenty of good ones out there.
          
          I just want to challenge the stereotype that fanfiction is nothing more than poorly written smut or self-insert Mary Sue stories. That’s still how a lot of people in the “real world” see it, and it’s unfair to writers who actually put effort into crafting something meaningful.
          
          What really frustrates me is when people act like I shouldn’t write what I love—or when readers make shallow assumptions, like saying “soft-spoken men must be gay.” Since when? That’s such a narrow and stereotypical way of thinking.
          
          It’s not that I can’t handle constructive criticism—I’m always open to feedback about my grammar, pacing, or flow. But when it comes to my plot, emotional depth, or how I choose to portray the characters, those are things I’ve poured my time and heart into. Seeing people reduce that to clichés or dismiss it because it doesn’t fit their expectations is honestly disheartening.
          
          Maybe that’s why I’ve been thinking about stepping away from fanfiction for a while, at least for my next story. Some of the recent comments have really drained the joy out of creating for me—and that’s something I never thought would happen.

"Also, depending on where you’re writing on, don’t based you fic on how many likes, reads, comments, hits, etc. While this advice is common, don’t write your fanfic for other people, just yourself. Once you start writing for other people, it will start to feel like a chore. I know this goes against what I was saying earlier, somewhat. But if you do base your fic on the kudos, comments, etc, your confidence/self-esteem in your writing skills will go down."
          
          Oh, thank God. I really needed this advice — and honestly, I think it’s something everyone who wants to experiment more in fiction needs to hear, too. Trust me, you’ll find the right audience soon.
          
          I’m 30 now, a mom with a baby, and of course, I can’t really write high school AUs anymore. My writing has grown with my age — not in terms of intimacy, but in emotional depth, realism, and the kinds of themes I want to explore. Still, I keep reminding myself that I started from a place of writing what I love. ;)

Alright, here we go - Miss Haruno Sakura enters the scene in Chapter 08. Good luck uncovering the Uchiha brothers shenanigans, Imao.
          From here on, I'I| post whenever I feel like it. And don't aive up halfwav through - there are always twists waiting to haunt you at night. That's the point of this aenre: it's meant to make vou uneasv. No one feels all warm and fuzzy after watching "The Shining", right?
          If vou're looking for something cozy, easy, and fluffy - there are plentv of fluff stories out there
          But this one? It dives deep into the chaos behind the scenes - the Hollywood-esque scandals, the kind of childhood fame that twists into adult trauma, and why so many child actors grow up troubled
          So, whatever you do - don't skip a chapter. Every piece matters.
          Yeah. it's fanfiction -- but underneath it all. it's a psychological thriller about what fame does to people - the rot behind the spotliaht. I'm iust borrowing these characters to tell the kind of story I'd want to write on mv own someday

Happy Halloween y'all!
          
          My new story that I worked on last year has been published! This is my first psychological horror/thriller/gothic fiction. Please kindly check it out ;)
          
          Summary:
          
          Years later, the neighbors still whisper about the two brothers who live up on the hill. They say Itachi Uchiha, the famous movie star, still haunts that grand old house—his once-brilliant career destroyed by a mysterious accident. Others claim he was sent overseas to recover. And they insist it was his younger brother, Sasuke, behind the wheel that night. Drunk. Reckless.
          
          After the crash, Itachi simply vanished from the world.
          
          That’s what the rumors say, at least.
          
          But when Sakura—an ordinary girl from the neighborhood—gets closer to the truth behind the Uchihas’ glittering façade, she discovers that their real story is far darker than anything they ever performed for the camera.

Taylor Swift on Wood:
          “Girls, I don't need to catch the bouquet,
          To know a hard rock is on the way.
          And baby, I'll admit I've been a little SUPERSTITIOUS
          The curse on me was broken by your magic wand 
          Seems to be that you and me, we make our own luck
          New Heights (New Heights) of manhood
          I ain't gotta knock on wood”
          
          I know this song is about Travis, but Taylor also made an effing soundtrack for my fanfiction "SUPERSTITIOUS" too (this is just a joke lol)

Sorry for spamming, lol
          I uploaded the new chapter that should have been uploaded next week because I wanted to flex the new book cover (I've been redesianing manv book covers, and I think this one is more fitting with the genre/ theme of this fic). Enjoy, and thanks for your support
