Funny, isn't it? Yesterday before she posted that notice, the chapter had only 68 votes. But the moment she spoke up it suddenly reached 78.
So...you could vote all along? You just chose not to until she said something right? It's honestly heartbreaking that she have to remind people to do something that takes just a second. Writers pour hours into every chapter, yet a simple vote only comes after a notice. That's really heartbreaking and not only she but any author would feel demotivated in this situation.
