Hello everyone! ♡
          	
          	I’m here with the results from the google form, and I can finally tell you which book won! I’ve also updated the first chapter of the winning book hihi.
          	
          	As you could tell, The Devil’s Doll won. From now on, this will be the book getting regular updates. I can’t post a screenshot here, but if you’d like to see the results, you can find the screenshot at the end of the first chapter of TDD.
          	
          	Now…because I feel bad for everyone who voted for Devil in Disguise (I know how badly some of you wanted to see this book get updated), I came up with a little plan. I’m going to focus more on FTLY so I can finish it and start Devil in Disguise right after. This way, hopefully, everyone gets the book they’re waiting for :)
          	
          	Thank you so much to everyone who took the time to vote, and especially to those of you who left me messages in the last question. I read every single one of them, and I promise I’ve kept some of your requests in mind. I’m already working on a few of them! I really appreciate all the sweet words, and I know I keep saying this. But you have no idea how much they meant to me, especially after having a bit of a low moment and feeling like maybe my books weren’t enough. Reading your messages reminded me why I love doing this so much.
          	
          	Thank you for sticking with me, supporting my books, and taking a little bit of your time to make me feel so loved. This message was definitely not supposed to be this long, but I’m overwhelmed knowing that you guys took the time to send me so much encouragement :)
          	
          	I promise I’ll keep doing my best and never let you down. Love you all, and enjoy the first chapter of The Devil’s Doll! ♡

Okay guys, you’ve decided to go with a google form for the vote so it’s easy and fair for everyone to participate. I just finished setting it up, and you can go cast your vote right now on which book I should update next between Devil in Disguise and The Devil’s Doll.
          
          I also threw in a few short, optional questions if you want to drop any feedback or share what you’re looking forward to next :)
          
          You can find the link here: https://forms.gle/19GZvW2mpkA2rWd57
          
          Can't wait to see what you guys pick!

Hello guys!♡
          
          Just wanted to let you know that I’ve finished writing the last chapter of Troublemaker. I have a few things to check off my to do list first and need to give it a proper edit, but you can expect the update tomorrow. On top of that, look out for updates on my other books this weekend :)
          
          This week, you guys will also get to choose which book I should update next between Devil in Disguise and The Devil’s Doll. Before we get into that, I want to settle where we should actually host the vote. Should I set up an instagram poll, a google poll, or just keep it on my message board? 
          
          I feel like an google poll might be the fairest option so everyone can participate, but let’s decide on the platform first.
          
          If you have any questions so far, let me know, and if you see this message, please leave a comment below. A few of you mentioned having trouble leaving comments on my message board, so I emailed the Wattpad team about it. Hopefully everything is cleared up now :) 
          
          Love you guys! Take care! ⋆.  ˚

@the8buddy I think google pole is the best option, considering a lot of active readers on wattpad might not have Instagram. everyone deserves a chance to vote, and it'd seem more fair that way!!

May I know u better? Where are u from? How old r u? R u a girl? right? Because I do not think a boy will pay for so many specific details like  these? What inspires u to write troublemaker? Feel free to answer some of nothing? I still respect ur lines

the8buddy

Hello! I'm 22 years old, I'm from Europe, and yes, I'm a girl :)
            
            What inspired me to write Troublemaker was actually my ex-relationship. My ex wasn't exactly like the way I portrayed Wonwoo, especially when it comes to social status, but his behavior was pretty similar. Perhaps that's also why I wasn't always consistent with the updates. I feel like every time I worked on Troublemaker, it reminded me of him. He used to lovebomb me just like Wonwoo did with Yuna. He was careless, didn't really care about my feelings, and could be very toxic and selfish. But eventually, he started to love her and changed, something that happened in my own relationship. The biggest difference between my relationship and the one I portrayed in Troublemaker is that mine didn't work because ego won. We didn't fight for each other the way Wonwoo and Yuna did. Instead, we just suffered from a distance and neither of us showed how much it hurt. So, in a way, Troublemaker is also a "what if?" of how things could have turned out if we had put our egos aside and actually fought for each other. 
            
            Anyway, I'm really glad to see that you are interested in Troublemaker. It honestly means a lot to me :)

I don't even know how many of you are going to see this because this platform is literally playing with my last nerve. I was supposed to give you guys a double update tonight, TMD and the special chapter for the parallel universe, but I can't. Wattpad won't let me. Trust me, I've tried every possible way and I've been trying for a damn hour.
          
          I literally had a five minute breakdown and cried my eyes out because I worked so hard to finish these chapters instead of studying for my exam, and now I can't even upload them.
          
          Anyway, I'll try again, but if it doesn't work, expect the updates tomorrow or whenever this damn platform finally stops playing with my anger issues. It's been a week or two of constant problems, and I swear, if it keeps going like this, I'm going to stop writing or switch platforms entirely.

Thank you guys, I love you☹️ I’ll try using a VPN

Hello guys! Like I promised, I'm back with the surprise!
          
          Before that, a quick life update: this week has been crazy hectic, but I got a 10/10 on both of my exams, yeeey! My schedule is still completely full, and since I couldn't update all my books this week, Reader of the Week is running for two weeks instead. I'll announce the winner next Sunday. Because it’s a double round, the winner gets to read the first unreleased chapter of The Devil's Doll and choose another prize! 
          
          Now, let’s talk about the surprise. What would you say if I told you I'm planning to write a parallel universe where characters from all of my different books can finally meet? :)
          
          We’ll decide the pairings through Insta stories. You tell me a pair you want to see (like TMD Jun and Starboy Ruby), I’ll take the most requested ones, and you guys vote for the winner. I’ll write the chapters on my Seventeen Imagines book weekly.
          
          I already have a few duos in mind that I know you are absolutely going to love, and this is the perfect chance for us to just have fun and get creative. You can literally choose whoever you want, even a crazy duo like IH Nabi and DID Joshua. The characters can be from any of my books, even the ones that haven't been updated yet. The very first crossover (a little gift from me) will drop next week. It was supposed to come out this week, but things just got too busy.
          
          Huge thanks to my gc, buddyverse, for inspiring this idea when talking about how cool a crossover would be :) 
          
          Please leave me some feedback and let me know if you love this idea or if it's just a crazy thought in my head. I'm completely open to your requests and ideas, whether it's a specific duo or a whole group of characters meeting up. Let me know if you have any questions ^^
          
          Also, I was supposed to update TMD today, but I couldn't finish the chapter in time :( I really hope you guys understand. Don't worry, daily updates start next week, so get ready!

Hey guys! 
          
          I totally forgot to announce the Reader of the Week winner over here too! As some of you probably already saw on instagram, a huge congratulations to @youthis17! The game has officially restarted now, so everyone has a brand new chance to win.
          
          I wanted to pop in and let you know that I’ve edited the descriptions for all of my books. I included the tropes and plot breakdowns this time, so it'll be super easy for you to check them out and see what catches your eye.
          
          Also, this week is going to be pretty rough for me. I have my final thesis presentation and my bachelor exam both happening. You know I always try to keep you guys updated on my life, so don't worry, I'll definitely let you know how it all goes. After that, next week is graduation, and in two weeks I have my master's entrance exam. Things are about to get incredibly hectic, but I'm going to be here updating you as much as I possibly can :)
          
          On the bright side, I have a surprise coming up for you this weekend once I'm finally done with all this thesis stress. Plus, as you know, Troublemaker is so close to being completed. Guess who is going to start a new book right after? You guys are going to decide which one it will be ^^
          I hope you’re as excited as I am, because ugh, I have so many surprises lined up for you.
          
          Anyway, please take care of yourselves, and make sure to stay hydrated and eat well. Love you guys!♡

@prettylittlething000 Yes, most likely on Instagram. I will let you guys know once I made up my mind ^^
