I already know that this will be a lengthy message, but it's important for you to hear it.
I understand that everyone has their own preferences and opinions when it comes to fictional stories. However, it's important to remember that authors have creative freedom and different readers enjoy different types of narratives!
Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but it's unnecessary to be disrespectful. The author has put in a lot of effort and creativity into their work, and there are many readers who appreciate and enjoy it. If it's not your cup of tea, there's no need to engage or spread negativity.
It's always better to promote constructive dialogue and understanding rather than resorting to insults. Your remarks about the author's sanity and the readers' character are not only uncalled for but also quite distasteful. Critiquing a story is one thing, but demeaning the creator and their audience is quite another!
Isn't it rather amusing? The author hasn't ever pressed anyone to pursue romance with the cousin. There's a whole array of alternatives to swoon over. Let's not linger on one aspect indefinitely, shall we?
I hope you realize the impact of unkind words; it may already be evident on this particular page.
You say things more eloquent and kinder than I would have. Your message is a very important one as it hold a great value of truth to it. It is so disheartening when i see such amazing authors disappearing because of such cruelty from people who don't understand their IF, it's a fictional historical political drama, of course there will be elements that people find distasteful or just too much. But that is why we simply don't read the ones we don't enjoy, instead of tearing at an author who has clearly put in a lot of time, effort, and love to their IF, and is clearly on hiatus (as i hope the return, i am going with hiatus) do to the past crude remarks of their IF.
I appreciate your acknowledgment of my efforts to convey my message in such a manner. I genuinely believe that by approaching the negative and distasteful perspectives with compassion and kindness, we have a better chance of inspiring change. It is indeed disheartening to witness talented authors disappear due to the cruelty they face from people who fail to grasp the nuances of their interactive fiction.
I can't stress enough how essential it's to respect and appreciate the immense amount of time, effort, and love authors pour into their work. Let's hope for the author to return safely from their hiatus, coz I'm not losing hope anytime soon....esp for this masterpiece 😭.
I also feel like some people never learned or just forget that. A story does not necessarily reflect anything of what the Author thinks. (In general in media with an author.)
Because I saw many times where people said unkind words to the author because the MC they did not like. And assume that the author is the same as the MC. But a great Author can put on many different shows/view points.
(Obviously there are also story's that reflect the authors experience, and if a story focus to heavily onto something that is questionable at best, it may be best to see it rather critical.)
Another such instance which I can't just wrap my head around was where the author made a adult visual Novel which focus of a dude transforming into a girl. Which they wrote really good an believable. But some just said to them (Forgot the gender of the author.) that if they can write it that good zhat maybr they where born in the wrong body. And the later said that. But I really hope that thata was only a really small push the people gave them. And not the only reason why he thought that. As again just because they could write that a good believable story does not mean they are indeed born in the wrong body. (Obviously it could be but I rather not assume to fast on such things and especially not in any from demand that it must be the reason of the good quality, rather the just that they are a great authory.)
I just realized I wrote far to much and gone way of track.... Sorry 🫠
