Hi! Sorry for such a late reply, I just got on break, but thank u for taking the time to comment (and not on the story itself snsnn).
I see what u mean and I get the points ur making. I genuinely don’t promote CYBMPC bcs it’s so *everywhere* and I had no goals for it when I first wrote it - i was just a teen interested in boy x boy -, when I tried editing it (still as a teen) I only fixed grammar and terribly cringey moments and started on Neal’s story. Even now I have no real idea what’s going on in CYBMPC, and when I re-edited Neal’s story I simply wanted the whole series over w. That’s entirely on me. Rushing it and leaving things unfinished are things I’m trying to fix. And that’s why I decided on a one shot book for Elliot’s and Dayon’s stories. I didn’t want ppl who had seen them since the first book not getting anything in the end. (Ian needs his own book made me snort bcs yes, he does- I agree w all of ur points fr. I definitely am aware of flushing out relationships, especially w Neal and the characters in that book (again, rushing, entirely my fault really)).
I don’t see myself going back to fix my stories anytime soon, at least not now, but when and if I do I will take ur points into consideration. I really appreciate ur criticism and hope that they won’t be reoccurring issues in future stories.
Again, thank you, ♡
