Not very much. It's there right to ask for the updates. :)

16) How you feel when some reader comments offensive and report your work? Want to say something to them?

I haven't experienced the bashing or something offensive yet and if it will happens in future so I will deal with that person in private not in the comment section or to take screenshots and post it down unless that comment is unbearable.

17) want to say something to aspiring writers?

Yes! You are doing great work. Keep it up and whenever you feel like you can't write, you are not capable of just think about one thing that if J.K Rowling would have thought the same then we would have never get a chance to experience the beautiful magical world. She also faces lots of problem but never gave up so you also never gave up even if you have written a small paragraph or a small poem just post it or just make it reach to the peoples it will build up your confidence level.

18) if you want you can ask 2 question from your readers?

So I want to ask first that what makes my stories worth the read? Second, What should I improve in my writing? I've forgot one point.
