Chapter 3: After 2.5 years of being away from Asianfanfics, and coming back here yet again, I'd have to say I found a very good fanfic to start all over again :)

Hey! I’ve found someone recently who has been stealing/copying books from other authors. Not sure if it counts cause she didn’t say anything about writing or owning it. Anyways, it is someone on wattpad with the user @TAEYONGS_ASSCHEEKS_ and they have a book for your fic!

Chapter 3: Truth to be told I don't even know where to start. First, I feel very honoured that you asked me to beta this story, I hope my insights were at least a bit helpful. Anyhow, this story would have been perfect without me too. Reading story felt a bit like drowning? Or at least being under water not knowing if we could ever resurface but somehow we, the OC still survived and lived and it was so painful because her life was a spiral of getting down down down. I can see that this story might not be for anyone since it touches sensitive and very heavy topics that might be hard to understand for people who has never faces any mental illness even indirectly, for them it might be "too deep" or "fake" but it was realistic, the cold hard truth about how life is for people treated this way, how the circumstances can shape these problems and these feelings. In the girl's life Lucas was a ray of sunshine, hope and light in the darkness. I liked that he wasn't perfect, that he wasn't the always been there friend, that he also had his own problems, it made him so real. And yet, the way he helped, tried to help the girl was admirable. Their ups and downs, the drifting apart and then finding each other again wasn't pink clouds at all, there was no huge build up, the trust and everything was a slow process, a hand reaching down to pull her up but the girl had to take the steps, she had to decide if she wants to get better or not and I really loved this aspect because it's true. And my favourite part, oh that was so beautiful: the to be yourself is to be courageous part. Absolutely phenomenal, it really touched my heart. So thank you for this story, it was a really touching and memorable one. I'm proud of you for writing this because it can be hope for those who also suffer out there. Love you so much! <3
