@AproposofNone ik feeling depressed is obvious after putting so much of your hardwork and creativity and get negligible response. There are many books of siblings on this platform but all are cliché, predictable almost boring and many of them has not so good writing or originality, they look like copied with just different names and words but all over same. I was looking for some new authors with not so predictable plots, where characters feel alive not perfect but flawed,raw and emotional. Honestly, I had imagined this exact kind of plot in my head—i wished that someone write it on a well written book.
I had almost given up that i would ever find this kind of story among all clichés and ypur writting gives what i had been craving. Tbh, i think that's part of why the recognition is slower. Familiar spread faster but it also gets forgotten. What you've created is the kind that people want to treasure.
So please don't get discouraged by the quiet. The readers who love real storytelling will find just like i did. ❤️❤️
