I'm writing these words with an open heart. Maybe you've noticed–especially in Wicked Academy–that my books are filled with the passion I pour into them.
I put a lot of effort, thought, and love into my stories. But lately, it feels like I'm writing only for myself. As if my words are falling into silence, into emptiness.
Wicked Academy, in particular is really close to my heart. I've already built so much there, woven in so many details–and yet what's missing is the interaction, the echo, the feeling that someone is living in this world with me.
What many of you might not know is this: I originally write my stories in German–and then fully translate them into English. That's double the work, which I do with great dedication and care.
For a long time, I published chapters almost daily, pouring my heart into them, even neglecting my studies because writing and this world meant so much to me.
And that's why it saddens me so deeply to see all of it just standing there–unnoticed, without a response, without resonance. There is so much magic in this story, so much beauty and uniqueness to feel. And I wish for nothing more than for someone to see it. To feel it with me.
So I turn to you. If there are things you don't like–tell me. I'm open to feedback, suggestions, ideas, and I would truly love the chance to grow and improve through your input.
I don't want to just write a book–I want to shape a world together with you. A world that stays alive through your thoughts, your emotions, and your imagination.
But as long as I don't feel any kind of response, I honestly don't know if it's worth continuing here. I see that people are reading–yes–but without a sign from you, it all feels empty.
That's why I won't continue updating chapters until I can feel that there are truly people who want to read more. People who want to dive into this world with me.
Thank you for being here. And thank you if you help me not just create this world–but truly bring it to life.
