hi this is your translator again!

have to say i was blown away by the high engagement of the first chapter, as i was worried people couldn’t take the first scene (Gongyu x Rik making out) well. but their reaction was great, 30k+ views and 140+ likes already! and in the comments i can tell they were deeply touched, saying it reminded them of the bp final night, when they were so worried and scared that gyubrik couldn’t debut together.

also i want to stress again how incredible your fanfic is and how much it means to me and my friends. we’ve been yearning for a long, chaptered, canon-setting fanfic that tells the whole journey gyubrik have been through (we really lack this kind of fanfics, our favorite chaptered fanfics before yours are all au-settings, please allow me to recommend a few: by black_dolphin, by plinys, by ploomki), and you made our long-time dream came true! your fanfic is just so holistic: the yuehua trainee era & bp era made us cried countless times, the zb1 era truly blends seamlessly with reality and is so immersive, the post-zb1 era is absolutely heart-wrenching in the best way, while still making so much sense.

that’s the beauty of canon-setting and your amazing writing skills, thank you so much and we love you🫶
