A small confession about KINTSUGI:
A few chapters contain spicy scenes, and I'm honestly a little conflicted about them. I've never published anything with that level of intimacy before, so part of me wants to keep them, while another part wonders if I should delete them altogether.
The scenes are there because they fit the story and the characters, not just for shock value. Still, stepping outside my comfort zone is making me second-guess myself.
What do you think? Should I leave them in as part of the story, or tone things down and remove them?
