After a long break, I return to confirm my living status! I forgot to officially announce it earlier, but today I’m welcoming [Ailments of Yearning] into our family. The first chapter has been posted!
          	
          	This revenge-riddled tale tells of the perilous journey of a low-ranking Guide with a single purpose, and the blood-stained crawl to the peak of the Base with the ambiguous, sometimes unhelpful aid of the unpredictable top-ranking Esper.
          	
          	This is an apocalyptic guideverse carved of misfortune, humanity’s desperate survival, and the destruction that follows it. 
          	
          	It’s a new area (ish) for me, and I’m so eager to have you join me along this new journey, but if not, I hope to see you in the future! I promise, a more light-hearted story will eventually see light… my fingers just naturally deviate…
          	
          	Regardless, wishing you a 2025 that grants you all your wonderful dreams and hopes, and thank you so much for being here, previously or now, and for being you.

Luki~ I'm so glad you're back!! Can't wait to read your new book. I was just looking for some new stories when I randomly decided to check on your account and bam! I was pleasantly surprised with a new story~ ugh. If I had come back sooner I would found out the day you published it but oh well, I'm here now!

Hi, just a random wattpad commenter here. I just really want to say that I adore all your works and all the characters you create. Forgive me if this sounds insane [I've been told I have a few screws loose in my head, said with affection] but I would love to dissect your brain and uncover just how you work through your characters [this is a compliment I swear I don't actually want to do it TvT I just don't know how else to express this.
          
          I love how you characterise your characters. I love how you write. You have been a very long inspiration of mine ever since I found you through the Scum fifth prince book [I cannot remember the full name for the life of me (TTwTT)] and I have been reading ever since. Honestly you're one of the few authors I still have wattpad for lol. Idk if I've commented on the scum fifth prince book but otherwise I've mostly been a silent reader, admiring your work from afar and never really expressing the depths of just how much I have enjoyed your books [and cried to them too].
          
          Then Kaden and Noah Bellamy rammed into my life like a truck [kun] and I binged like all the updates I could in one sitting. Then, waiting for you to update, I may have re-read the story [in it's ~58 chapter glory] like four times. And then just today I finished binging the last roughly 40 chapters of your story in a day. Honestly I love the ending you gave them both, and reading all your author's notes full of your questions and philosophies [I love reading through all your authors notes lmao] have actually helped given me a perspective on my own characters. Idk if I'm ever going to publish my own story, whether it be online or in real life, but either ways you have helped me improve my writing through leaps and bounds as I dissect your story [I would legit like to use your stories as practice for my 'writer's effect' exercises] along with some other authors I see as my sort-of idols.
          
          [running out of space now, how sad (ToT)]

lukiyo_224

@Ghosty_weirdo Let me start off by saying hearing you say you want to dissect my head is the highest compliment (I too would like to dissect many brilliant minds to figure out how they work, so I'm very honoured!) I'm so glad you like the notes too LOL I always end up rambling and am like, oof I really just wrote a whole jarble! It's so exciting hearing from another writer too, I hope that you do, and I will you all the luck and success in the world with it!!
            
            I am a stockpiler too, so no worries at all! I'm jumping around genres (although they definitely carry similar themes LOL) so even if one isn't up your ally, I hope I can see you in future stories! I think you've expressed yourself so well, and once again, thank you so much and good luck to your writing ventures!! (Thus, I don't feel any awkwardness so don't worry!) I appreciate you!
            
            Happy reading and writing~

Also also, just an extra P.s., I've alr read a bit of Everlasting End, and honestly I'm once again in love with your work, author-san :P

Back to what I was saying~
            
            I almost forgot we have replies for a reason lmaoo-
            
            I just wanted to say that whatever you publish, I'll read it! [I'm trying to read your past works that I haven't read yet, Everlasting End, I think it was called? And I'll be honest I'm the type of reader to stockpile chapters before reading it in one go so I'll probably read your new book when it's like halfway complete or there's enough chapters for me to binge [no pressure though! I understand if there are complications along the way that would have to make me wait longer. Srsly author take care of your health first, rather than put your stories as your first priority. We readers understand that you are human (*0-0)]
            
            I might actually publish my own work later in life [I do not really like typing my prose onto computer, so I write it down first] but we'll see! Anyways I should really stop rambling off topic and say that the reason I am typing this message is bc how to make a sinner sleep may or may not have given me a huge ass motivation boost to continue writing my own stories, and I want to thank you for it. [Can you tell I'm a little awkward because I don't know how to express properly just how much I love your stories and how I'm always cheering for you in the sidelines because I'm a silent reader and have no idea how to show my gratitude like the more active commenters in your stories? If no, then thank god]
            
            Anyways, looking forward to reading your other stories!

I love your stories. I love the way you write. I really like how all your characters feel so alive. It's as if I'm right there, at the side, bearing witness as everything unfolds.
          
           I have a thing with my memory. Where every book that I read, I barely remember the names of the characters, as well as the title. However, I remember clearly the feelings that I have felt in reading a story. And in all your stories, there was no moment that I have felt nothing. What I mean to say is that, these writings of yours speak to my soul.
          
          On the very first chapter, I would search for a feeling, not really any specific type of emotion but just a feeling. If I don't find it, I would not continue reading the rest. I remember downloading one novel of yours, the everlasting end. Reading the first chapter, my interest was piqued, and so, I read. Then suddenly, I was at the story's end. I thought that it was good, so I visited your profile to see if you had any other works and there it was, two more stories.

@salted_fishy I was feeling emotional reading through this, thank you seriously so much for all your words, please never apologize for a long message, I adore each and every word! I'm so glad they were able to make an imprint on your heart, I also tend to forget easily and don't remember stories too well, but there are those that just linger in shapeless ways!
            
            Hearing that you came from Of Everlasting End is especially amazing, because I know it's not as popular but a treasure to me all the same, so thank you so much! You, and all others, loud or quiet, I definitely notice and stare in a daze for every comment, every message or every like or addition to a library or follow, all those little notifications I do take note of! So much love to you~

I was happy, I expected that the two other story would not pale in comparison to the first that I read, and so, I read another. When I finished, I moved to "how to make a sinner sleep". Both stories far exceeded my expectations. Both were fine novels, all well written. Then, I find myself here, writing this long ass message after I had just reached the ending. 
            
            I had just wanted to say 'I like your stories', but those words just cannot express all these things that I have said so far, a simple sentence like that might have sufficed, but I wanted to say more. I'm sorry if this was really long. All I really meant to say was that, I hope you keep writing, hope you are healthy, and just really wish you never stop, but that would be too exhausting for if you did not rest, so rest if needed.
            
             If you find your self publishing another story, I will definitely read it, though you might not notice.
            I am inclined to believe that you didn't know you had a reader such as me, because I never really made my presence known from what I remember. But I am here, every one of us, your readers, will always be here for your stories. 
            
            
            Thank you for your stories, and I am really sorry for this really long message.

I miss your stories, when will you come back? I hope you have a good day everyday. I will wait for your next beautiful story. 

lukiyo_224

@Eika344 I hope you're having the best-est day everyday! I'm aiming to post at the end of this month, maybe on the last day of the year or Christmas (undecided!) It'll be a guideverse/apocalypse story this time!

LUKIYOOOO I use your list of stories that you recommended and OH MY GOSH ⁉️⁉️⁉️ I absolutely fell in love with The Rebirth of A Movie Star and Don't Pick Up Boyfriends From The Trash Bin (I think that's how it's spelled?) so much that I can't stop recommending them to other people on Tiktok who are in search of some good reads!! Without your list, I'd be lost searching for good novels 

AizasReality

@AizasReality Yesssss~~~~ It's so good! Thinking about it now, once I finish Global Examination I'll probably re read it again.

lukiyo_224

@AizasReality YAY that's awesome, I'm so glad you liked them! I don't think I've gotten through Don't Pick up Boyfriends yet, but The Rebirth of a Movie Star was def a good read, it's been so long since I read it!!

Hey heyyy currently reading HTMASS & girllllll I’m beyond obsessed & I’m still in the beginning of the novel. Thank you for sharing something sooo beautiful I cannot wait to finish & try out ur other works :) I do wanna ask abt some writing tips? Honestly anything you have to say I will take because cmon ur a God at this but if you could touch on how you got so good at wording everything so beautifully?? Idk if that makes sense lol but also how you plot everything & how you come up w the creation of characters?? Again any tips you can give will be a gift :)))

lukiyo_224

@Saiyan379 Hahaha I’m glad then!! I admittedly do write a little haphazardly as well, so I think it’s a lot of trial and error for each person! I can’t wait to return with some new exciting adventures I hope you’ll enjpy~

Saiyan379

@lukiyo_224 No this was amazing you made me laugh bc even how you explain things is so freaking good LMAO I cannot! Thank you smmm this helped me a lot, I never realized creating characters wasn’t so easy a lot needs to be thought out beforehand & you need to have a sort of understanding of WHO the character is & how’d they react to certain situations…& adding that w how they react w certain relationships ahhh it has been struggle to remember & keep the differences between characters. But I’m def doing my hw by studying urself and others amazing works I aspire to be like hehehe thank you again for taking the time to explain things, so sweet! I’m so excited for what you do in the future <333

lukiyo_224

@Saiyan379 THANK YOU!! I'll say HTMASS is probably my most polished work haha, it's cliche but writing definitely improves dramatically as you go (it's a little hard to read older works sometimes!) I like to analyze the sentence structures of my favourite authors, and to get a feel of their flow which I try to adapt into something of my own! Therefore, my writing is a reflection of dozens I've admired before, if that makes sense? Some of my favourite authors in terms of language and flow is Yiyuehua, V.E. Schwab, R.F Kuang and Musali!
            
            My plotting is sort of difficult so I'll apologize if it's confusing! I typically decide what my main themes are, and then the ending, the beginning and the middle, in that order! And I fill everything in roughly, before writing out a more detailed plan of what I'm planning, and then I sort of just get right into it (it changes a LOT while I write!)
            
            As for characters, I like to write the sorts I like reading (hence my often emotionally-stunted or self-sacrificial but hopefully endearing protagonists) or the quiet, intellect with far too many thoughts and far too little words to reflect them (like Noah, Damien). I like to organize what kind of dynamics could exist between two, and imagining the relationships between them usually gives me more clarity to who they are, if that makes sense??
            
            Hopefully this could help! I hope you had a wonderful Halloween as well!

It's truly embarrassing to admit but I've grown so attached to your characters that I've caught myself thinking about them while reading other stories! I would sometimes read a funny interaction and think "That's so Kaden and Noah".
          
          And I guess that shows just how much your stories have affected my thought process while reading and somewhere along the way, it went from "I totally wouldn't do that" to "[a character of yours] totally wouldn't do that". Thinking about your story and characters became somewhat of a daily routine!! 
          
          I can say with the utmost confidence that your stories have raised my reading standards quite a bit and I doubt that I can ever find a story that makes me so attached to every character ever again!
          
          Just writing this to let you know that your stories are actually so fire that I love each and everyone of them and I sleep and wake up to the thought of them!!!!!!

lukiyo_224

@limruiii_ THATS SUCH AN HONOUR? For them to exist in your regular thoughts is so lovely, thank you so much, it gives them so much life! I'm sure they're having a blast existing among the everyday and being given that essence of immortality in memory haha, thank you again~
