Chapter 4: Oh my, now I want more than the bonus chapter... I mean you did really well with the story and I thoroughly enjoyed reading them. I couldn't guess who the reclusive writer was until I read the epilogue/afterword. And like I said in my last comment, I didn't expect it to be him. But the bonus chapter gave me a insight into why he had to do it. Poor him! At least now he gets to write with his own name and not be a ghost writer or something. Anyway, I'm glad you decided to write this. I had fun reading them <3
Will love to read more stories like this too in the future <3

Chapter 3: I just finished reading epilogue and afterword and I'm definitely loving the way you have written things. And since the mystery isn't revealed explicitly, I'm gonna keep my guess a secret too (at least in here). If that guess was right , I definitely didn't expect that. Also, I have a few questions about the afterword (which I'll ask you in our chat). Anyway, I had fun reading this story so far and will definitely be back later to read the bonus chapter ^^

Chapter 1: Whoa! I'm really amazed. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this chapter and as someone who enjoys reading mystery/thriller books, I gotta say that you did a good job. If I didn't know you, I wouldn't have believed it was your first try of this genre. Anyway, coming back to the story, I definitely didn't expect the twist and looks like Minho knows Jinki and Shiwon were different people. Makes me wonder who Jin Shiwon really is. Also, I was really glad to see Changmin there albeit him being a minor character XD once again, I enjoyed reading this and I will be back later to read the epilogues(?)/the rest of the story ^^
