[ ADE-VERSE WRAPPED 2025 ]
RESULTS!! (very long message ahead)
BOOK OF THE YEAR: Pine Trees (2025)
honestly, so happy this book won! arjun and inaya are very close to my heart and i'm so glad they've won your hearts too!
NOVELLA OF THE YEAR: Love Culture (2024)
i can't believe the culture series, especially aryan and vinaya are still reigning supreme in ade-verse, lol!
SERIES OF THE YEAR: Culture Series (2024)
this didn't come as a surprise to me. i was very much expecting the culture series fans to spam votes for this one, lol! also, 'UTCSS' and 'Crush Culture' just hit 50k reads and are my first books to achieve that milestone! i'm just so overjoyed and it's made me incapable of being more eloquent but i want to thank every single one of you who have showered so much love on the both the series! thank you for being here! (reaching 50k was my dream when i first started out here and i'm so happy it's come true) :)
MALE LEAD OF THE YEAR: Arjun from Pine Trees (2025)
FEMALE LEAD OF THE YEAR: Inaya from Pine Trees (2025)
when i opened the summary of all the responses and saw arjun and inaya leading the race, i was silently screaming! it meant the world to me! (also, yup i forgot my baby hari in the fave male leads list, apologies x)
you guys suggested a lot of tropes in the feedback and i really hope i can publish works that include them, in the coming years! also, for those who mentioned 'butterscotch', don't worry guys. i'm currently writing the next chapter for it and it will be out during new years, for sure. also, someone suggested writing a murder mystery and as someone who's a huge detective fiction nerd, i will be getting to it sometime next year! there's a plot that has lived and grown with me since 2024 and hopefully it can come out to the world next year! to the person who requested a tamil playlist for the culture series, it will be here soon! xx
thank you for tuning in! with this, the 2025 szn comes to an end!
see you next year!
