I was going through my old messages and found a reading request. I came to check it out but saw you mentioning you took it down because it was too cringy. It made me sad because reading your messages, I felt you truly loved writing that book. That's why I thought about posting this message.
I even saw someone mentioning your book had 100k reads!!!
If writing is something you enjoy, please think about publishing it again. No one writes masterpieces overnight. It takes time. We all have to start somewhere. This is an amazing platform to improve your writing.
People will be rude, they will call your work cringy (even I do it sometimes, but not so rudely lol), but think of them as people that show you the parts of the story that can be further improved! No one knows who you are in real life! So, if writing is your passion, go for it. Don't be shy, don't be discouraged. Everything takes time.... Good luck ❤
