I appreciate that - re: critiques! But like I wrote: I genuinely didn't have so big an issue with it that I thought it warranted bringing up; but if others (clearly) did, then that's their opinion and valid too. But, I do think at the end of the day: It's Your story. You should have final say on what you think should change and what truly warrants it being 'for the better'.
I will def re-read now that I know (honestly not big on/super active with socials) and happily share my opinion if you like. As for the others: it could be wanting to wait until the next update is finished to restart. Now that it's announced here, maybe more will do the same.
