Okay so normally I come here all like "helloooooo my cuties 💗✨" but not today.
Not. Today.

Because today your author is TIRED. SAD. DRAINED. DONE.
I had planned to say hello, crack a joke, maybe throw in a "cutie wotie pie is backkk" moment—but babes, life had other plans 💀💔

So yeah, I'm skipping the cheerful intro this time.
You'll have to imagine me dramatically entering with messy hair, dark circles, and a dead stare into the void 🥲✌️

Now listen—there are TWO REASONS why I'm like this.
Like... really two solid reasons why your girl is in ✨Emo Author Mode✨ today.

So let's get into it.
I wasn't going to talk about this. I really wasn't. But it's eating me alive, and since this rant series is basically my personal therapy session—WE. RANT.

In my previous post, someone commented something that genuinely... stung. I'm not going to mention the ID or name (because I'm not here for drama, trust me), but they said something along the lines of how my story isn't going well, how it's going "too slow," how there's "too much focus on background characters and not enough on the main ones."
And you know what? I get it. Everyone has opinions.
And I would've taken it positively, if it was said constructively, with kindness or some level of basic empathy.
But no. It wasn't a feedback. It was rude.

The tone was almost like:
"Ugh your book is falling apart, I've seen better."
And then came the cherry on top—they compared my story to that of a very famous author, one who just so happens to be one of my own favorites.
Like—bro? Be fr 😭
OF COURSE her book is better than mine!
She's experienced, she's polished, she has written multiple stories... and this is literally my first book ever.
The comparison isn't fair, and honestly, it wasn't necessary.
I've never claimed to be a pro. I've been honest since day one—this book is my baby, my learning curve, my experiment. I'm doing my best.

And the timing of that comment???
I literally said in my last rant how mentally drained I've been—emotionally, physically, even creatively.
I literally opened my heart out about struggling with exams, writing, scheduling, and real life crashing on my head.

But somehow, you still felt like that was the perfect moment to say:
"Hey btw your book's kinda flopping."

LIKE... REALLY?
You couldn't have waited? Worded it softer? Or maybe not compared me to someone I already admire and feel insecure next to?

I know not every comment will be sweet. And I don't expect only praise.
But just... say it like you actually care that a human being is on the other end. That's all.
And to the ones who always show love, share ideas, give feedback with warmth—you're the reason I still post. You really are.
Thank you for being kind, especially when I'm struggling to be kind to myself.

So yeah... the second reason I've been feeling off, hurt, and just honestly exhausted—is something that really shook me.
An author—someone from the same platform—said that I copied her book.
She claimed that my story's concept is too similar to hers. The whole "girl once proposed and got rejected, then years later they end up in an arranged marriage" angle. She said it's like her plot and i have delete my whole book.
And I need to say this as clearly and calmly as I can:
I didn't copy anyone.
