@TA3UNIVERSE First of all, thank you so much for taking the time to write such a detailed review. As an author, feedback like this means a lot to me, especially when it comes from someone who has read the story multiple times and genuinely cares about it. About the editing and continuity issues you are absolutely right. I know this book needs a lot of editing, and trust me, I'm working on it. There are spelling mistakes, grammar errors, age inconsistencies, and even name mix-ups that happened while writing. With so many characters in the story, sometimes I genuinely forget details when I don't have my notes with me. That's not an excuse, just an explanation. The book will go through a proper editing phase once it's completed, and these things will definitely be corrected. Regarding the manipulation point and Neer's character, I won't comment too much because the upcoming chapters will answer many of those questions themselves. However, one thing I would like to clarify is that Neer was never suddenly turned into a good person. He was always meant to be good and a morally grey character whose intentions and actions weren't fully understood by readers yet. As for the accident, Neer never actually mentioned Vedansh's name or said that he wanted Vedansh dead. There is a reason that scene was written the way it was, and the truth behind that phone call, who he was talking about, and why he made that call will be revealed very soon. My writing style has never been the typical "everyone knows who the villain is and the hero-heroine keep struggling while the villain keeps winning" kind of story. I like planting hints, misdirecting readers, and revealing the bigger picture later. The same applies to Kritika and Vedansh. The confusion, discomfort, and assumptions weren't accidental. Those scenes were intentionally written that way not only for Aradhya but for readers as well. About the flashback suggestion, You'll get to see many moments from that period.
