hey, guys. it's been a while, hasn't it? especially on this story, specifically. it's been about a full year since i've actually updated, hasn't it? oh, wow...

okay, there's no need to drag this out. i'm discontinuing this, and then - though i don't know when - i am going to rewrite the whole thing.

i know this may disappoint a lot of you, and this is disappointing for me, too. i mean, i've worked so hard on this book and the story i had planned out for it, and i remember feeling so excited when i published the first chapter. and, honestly, after seeing all of the shocking support and love i was given for this book? it only motivated me to do more, and for that, i am extremely grateful. to all of you.

however, unfortunately, after coming back to this story time and time again... after re-reading all of the chapters i had written and published in the past, whenever the movie first came out...

it's just... i've realized how bad this book is. and no, there's no convincing me otherwise.

the mc, after reading all of the dialogue i've written for her - her personality seems to change time and time again, and it bothers me so much. and her relationship with steven? i've never seen anything so poorly developed and quick. i remember seeing comments on this book talk about this a while back, and i would get so bitter and petty about it, and i honestly feel so embarrassed about it because now... i see that they were right. why the heck would steven fall in love with someone who had been actively hurting him the whole time? it just doesn't make sense, and i wish that i could just go back in time and strangle myself for writing his and (y/n)'s romance so poorly.

so, yeah. as sorry as i am, i am going to officially discontinue this story, and possibly delete it at some point in the future. and like i said, i do plan on rewriting it and publishing that version, but i don't know when. after all, i've got other stories that i plan on working on, and not to mention the books that i have on my quotev account.

once again, before i close this off, i want to say that i am truly sorry for waiting so long to say this. i will admit, i've been avoiding this story like wildfire, because i didn't know how you guys would react to how i feel about it now. but... it isn't fair to you guys, and i don't want to make you all wait for something that isn't coming any longer.

so... this is goodbye, i guess? at least, until the rewrite comes out, that is.

i love all of you. i truly do. the support, the votes, the comments - all of it makes my day, and i just want to let all of you know just how much i appreciate that.

i promise: the rewrite for this story will be better, and will most definitely be planned out way better than this version of the book is. i already have so many ideas for the new version of this story, and i can not wait to share them all with you.

see ya later, guys. until next time 🖤
