Annnnnnnd. Roll credits!

Hurrah to bittersweet endings! And yes this is all that I am capable of giving you lovely readers. AND FOR REACHING THE END OF THIS JOURNEY YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW THANKFUL I AM.

The reading list adds, votes, insanely sweet comments, those who've messaged me telling me you loved this story or have told me to update because I was in desperate need of motivation at times—I CANNOT THANK YOU ALL ENOUGH.

You've brightened my terrible days, made me smile when I thought I wasn't in the mood to; made me excited to keep writing and see this long-ass book to the end. YOU ALL are undoubtedly the reason this story came this far.

When I first started this story, trust me, I had no idea this story would last this long nor did I plan for the twists either. I didn't anticipate the amount of success either (I still think I'm dreaming when I see the ratings lol)

I just wanted to make it up to the readers of Stepping On Love since I was feeling guilty as heck for not finishing it. And yet it became way more than that. These characters began to mean so much to me and it'll be such a sad thing to let them go!

I know there's still a few loose threads, which means a couple extras will be written in the future (possibly???) but for now I have to focus my time on my others stories and the new and improved Stepping On Love like I've stated I'd work on in the past. You guys will surely love it more, trust me.

And then I'll also come back and edit the heck outta this book. The ending aside (which I kinda don't like but it's too late to change ^^;) the beginning was where I kinda winged everything and had no substance so now that I'm sure of a goal, I'm going to head back and edit it (and cut scenes and change a couple minor things since this book is way too long as it is xD). Basically I'll just make it all way better lol. Then I'll probably post that new version onto Wattpad for you all to read.

Nonetheless, now that the story is completed (apologies for the flood of updates by the way!), I'd like to hear your overall thoughts! What was your favourite part(s)? Least favourite(s)? Who is/are your favourite character(s) and why? Least favourite(s) and why? Were some scenes rushed or more dragged out than others? and if so, what are some ways I can improve them? Anything and everything! I'd love to hear your opinions so I can learn and grow as a writer and make the edited version way better! :)

Ahhh I'd seriously go around the world and give each of you a hug if I could. But since I can't, *sends out virtual hugs and cookies* Thanks for reading!! I love you all! Stay tuned for my future updates/works! 💕

If you enjoyed Stumbling Over Love, you may also like these other books of mine:

THE HUMANITY CLUB | ✓

Having grown up void of any friends and romance, self-proclaimed otaku, Miyuki Hoshino, is assured that all she needs in her life is anime and manga. Also that surviving without it is next to impossible.

Despite abiding by that ideology for the majority of her life, when Miyuki's homeroom teacher suddenly urges her (more like threatens her) to join a club, the Humanity Club, she is left no other choice but to learn how to put aside her isolated self and interact with the other club members.

But little did she know, simply interacting with them was just the beginning.

A story about the humorous days of a not-so-average otaku and five unusual club members.

OUTSIDER SYNDROME | ✓

Due to her above-average height, Shiina Kisaragi lives as the constant object of ridicule by her high school peers. Between being an outcast and coming to terms with recent tragedy, Shiina is assured her teenage years will consist of nothing but loneliness and hardship. Though, it isn't long after she encounters a group of good-looking boys possessing much crazier personalities and circumstances that Shiina slowly becomes aware of the perks associated with being an outsider. Also, that her chance at love may actually be a lot closer than she originally thought.

WELCOME TO HEAVEN | ✓

Kotori Teruhashi burns everything she makes, but that doesn't stop her from dreaming of becoming a famous pastry chef someday. Problem is, her high school's Cooking Club is full of arrogant elitists who won't let her join. Left with no choice but to start up her own club, is it even possible for Kotori to gather enough members, convince the school administration, and show the rival club who's boss before it's time for graduation? Or will she be doomed to give up her aspirations altogether?

Upon meeting four handsome boys, Kotori realizes that she may have some hope after all.

PROJECT CUPID | ONGOING

If there's anything Anri Hinomori loves more than fictional characters, it's drama. By day, she's responsible for the anonymous gossip column for her high school's newspaper, and by night, she blogs extensive, long-winded reviews of every dating game she can get her hands on. There's no boy she can't charm -- through a screen, anyway. When her conviction is put to the test by a random internet troll out to destroy her, Anri finds herself in a sticky situation. Either win the hearts of five (real life) boys of their choosing or have her mortifying secrets leaked one by one to the entire school.

She just has to make these boys fall in love with her. It's totally doable. Right?

And for those who are fine with darker stories:

CRIME GAMES | ✓

What starts off as a harmless pastime unfolds into a malicious game of cat and mouse when a teenage girl is slaughtered in the exact sequence Tadashi Matsumoto and his club members had planned days prior. More than anything, he wants to believe it's a coincidence -- that they're innocent -- though when secrets are revealed and people are harmed, it becomes harder and harder to trust that it is.

One of them killed her.

And it's only a matter of time before more of them turn up dead.
