Hi Aryx,
Wow, thank you for all your kind words and generous praise. I'm so glad this story really connected with you. Though I was intentionally trying to be influenced by webnovels for my pacing and direct language, I believe thematically it's more in line with classic gothic romance. I believe in my vision but I'm never sure if I'll be able to execute it well, so hearing you say it's cohesive as a whole is very encouraging. Thank you again <3.
And yes, it's fine for anyone to use the art I publish, so long as it's not misusing it in deceptive or malicious ways.
