WARNING: THIS IS A RANT.
IT'S A RANT.
Disagreeing is something that may happen. I'm not asking you to agree with me, but I'm asking you to let this reduce. It's not hard to not leave comments like "update soon." If you're telling me off because of this, it's not going to get you anywhere. I'm just asking that you not leave a few simple words in your comments. Thank you.

So, I'm pretty sure you know that I update EVERY single day. EVERY SINGLE DAY.
Most authors don't usually do that. They usually skip days and do whatever day they feel like updating.

Some comments are very ignorant (I have to be honest).
I get comments and see that some are seriously ignorant. They don't say anything about the chapter either.
"You should do this etc."
"Update frequently, okay?"
"Where's Kaisoo? Please update (Kaisoo) soon!"
"What? No Hunhan?"
"When is Baekyeol showing up?"
"Updattteeeee pleasssseeee noowwwww."
"Double update pleaseeeeeee."
I mean, I appreciate you commenting (I really do), but sometimes you should think about how the author will feel once you leave that comment.
Because some comments actually bring my mood really really down and I don't feel like updating, but I do it for the sake of other readers.
Please do not leave me ignorant comments and try understanding how I may feel when I read them.

If you are someone who has left that type of comment, just know that I'm not mad at you or anything. I just want to tell you that you should be careful of what you tell me. I'm not asking you to do much. I'm just asking that you not leave such comments to me. It's not that hard to not type a few words and type something else.

If you haven't noticed, I am a human-being(?). I am not a robot that frequently writes every hour of my days. I usually start writing at 8pm and post at 12. Please respect me and please be patient.

I seriously love you all with my heart because I know you enjoy reading the story with your hearts. I just wish that you would really consider how I feel when you leave those types of comments. I love when my readers are patient and know that I'm a person too. I get those types of comments where they really seem like they are enjoying the story or they think it is super amazing. I smile at every single comment I get (unless it's those ones like above). I really really love you guys because you are the reason I still write the story! I wanted to just tell you how I may feel about those types of comments. I update every single day just for you guys and when I get things like "update nowww" or "double update please!" it is very hurtful to me.

I love you! :)

I appreciate your opinions and disagreeing with me is natural, but you can try updating every day and getting comments like that. After you do that for about 3-4 months, you may then tell me how you feel about it and I will converse with you. Don't do anything without seeing my perspective first and how it feels like. If you think I'm being too emotional and butthurt, then fine. But if you don't even know what it's like, then don't even try. If you work on a chapter for 4-5 hours a day, late at night, for EVERY single day of 3 months and receive about 5-10 comments telling you to "update please" or "make more kaisoo/hunhan/baekyeol" then you can tell me how it feels. THIS IS A RANT. IT'S AN OPINION AND STATEMENT FROM THE AUTHOR. Just like you, I have my own opinions.
Thank you.

I do understand the "update please" thing, but or the other....you can't expect people not to be a bit sad their faves didn't show up, lol. Obviously this doesn't count for people agressively pushing, like spam or so. :) Same goes for making air to your feelings, like vent a bit, your readers have feelings too, just like you and when they read sad stuff or something they didn't like, obviously they will say "dammit now this made me cry" "why did you do this argh" etc. just like they laugh or are happy about good things, those are feelings too, I don't see why this makes such a problem for you to the point you tell them not to read angst then, if they can't handle it. People have the right to react. Please try to respect that too. I for myself can't handle every horrorfilm, but that doesn't mean I don't enjoy watching a scary movie, there's no black and white. Same goes for angst. Don't be so hard on that. :)
I've noticed it's very easy to put pressure on oneself, especially when a lot of people read their story, but try not to take everything to heart, k? There are many kinds of people and we can't have them all the way we would want, and as long as you can't turn off the comments like in Youtube, we'll have to try to tolerate each other haha. That's the point of an public site and if I can't handle it, then I don't publish it, that easy. Try not to react so strong to things, just because someone says "please do this/that" it doesn't mean they ACTUALLY want to push you, they might do an suggestion and if you don't want to comply, hey that's cool. And if there's someone being unreasonable and annoying, there's always an block button. ;) Thanks for your efforts, fighting. ^^

I don't know but I sometimes it's really good to see people wanting you to update soon. For me this story became part of my everyday routine. Waiting till 12 just to ne the first to read your update. Somehow I don't want this story to end yet. It's just so beautiful.
