READ THIS FIRST DO NOT IGNORE IT.
Hey everyone, gather 'round for a moment, would you? Pull up a mental chair, and kick off your shoes. I just wanted to take a minute, before we dive back into the chaos of this story, to genuinely thank you. Seriously. The attention you've shown this book, the way it's grown... it blows me away. And the comments? Oh, my god, the comments! They're like little bursts of sunshine in my day – some of them are so wonderfully cute, others crack me up laughing. Reading them, knowing you're out there, connecting with the words, it's the biggest mood booster. It truly fuels me, and makes me want to write more, write better. So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for that.
Now, this next bit is a note, and it's particularly for a specific group of you – you know who you are. This is for my dear readers who are adding this book to their reading lists, meticulously waiting for it to be utterly, completely, 100% finished before you even think about opening the first chapter. You're planning that epic all-day, all-night binge-read once the "COMPLETE" tag goes up, aren't you?
And look, I get it. The temptation is real. You want to devour it whole, no interruptions, no agony of waiting. But here's the thing, and this is important: every single book on these platforms, especially one still in progress, thrives on engagement. It's what helps it get seen, what pushes it into more tags, and what brings new eyes to the story. And that only happens when you open the chapters, when you hit that vote button, when you drop a comment, as the story is being updated. The algorithm, the visibility... it all relies on that immediate interaction, not just a mass wave of reads months down the line.
