I'll be pausing weekly chapters of WHERE NO LIMITS LIE for two weeks or so. The next arc coming up will be an original one, and the character focus will be switching from Tanjiro to Irin. The story will take on a dramatic turn for some of the characters, and I'm focused on keeping ideas fresh and interesting.
To all those who are following my new story, thank you, and I hope the short wait will be worth it.

@su_gar Because smaller creators are more excited to receive praise and comments compared to larger writers. When I started posting my stories, I was excited when a scam comment showed up, but then I noticed some suspicious traits (the scammer claimed to have finished reading my story when the number of reads had barely gone up) and then I checked its profile and tracked down the similar comments it had made on other stories.

srs thank u for letting me know!

@su_gar You're welcome. Bot scammers are numerous on Wattpad unfortunately, and they will trick inexperienced people to give them their contacts so they can scam them in private. 99% of the people who say they have "ideas" or can make a "comic" for you are scammers. Their accounts are also very young (less than a week old) and they follow many other authors within a few hours of joining.

Seriously, thank you so much, luckily you had commented on that profile, if you hadn't I would never have known about this, thank you <3

@_weasley_twins_wife Glad I was able to warn you in time! The bots from AO3 are really transplanting themselves to Wattpad, and they're all trying to trick young authors. Don't give any of them your contacts.

@Versazo I've never actually given my money to the people that have reached out to me anyway. Thanks for the tips!

Bro thanks for the tip! I wasn't planning on giving them any money, but at least they left me alone, finally :') I saw that they deleted their account as well.

@MochiSpaceMoose222 Scammers/bots have similar traits that can be used to identify them. - Their account is fairly new (less than 60 days old) - They've followed 100+ people - They have multiple people on their discussion board thanking them for their "nice comment" and asking for more details - Their comment on your book includes a Discord, Instagram or email. - Their comment includes really no indication that they know anything about your story - They refuse to chat on Wattpad, but want your personal contacts

@MochiSpaceMoose222 No problem at all. Be careful out there - anyone who says that they have ideas, creative thoughts, promotion tips, and planned comics for your story are very likely scammers.

Thank you for letting me know about the other account. I was aware of it all the time, but I wanted to have evidence in the app to be able to report it. However, I truly appreciate your concern and thanks.
