hi yes sorry i mixed up the name with another fic that has the word love in it,i meant to love (to be loved) ,and yeah i feel like the story had so much potential to grow into a beautiful story between hj and flx bc in the end it really seemed like hj was only agreeing to it so that he could have a portion of flx,and tbh the whole relationship between chn and flx was deteriorating while flx and hj started genuinely falling in love.Im not sure if you were trying to portray this or not but honestly cf's relationship had,from my reading perspective,essentially run its' course and the love held still between them didnt seem to be as intense🤷🏻‍♀️ so yeah for me the ending felt unstable and unfair to all parties involved

ahhhh i understand now🩷

okay so the thing about this fic is that i really dislike it, wish i will always preface when i talk about it. honestly it was written a really long time ago at this point, and i was a far weaker writer and got way too ambitious and in over my head with it. i think about deleting it and rewriting at some point pretty often, but i have also received a ton of nice words about it too. it’s definitely flawed since it was my first work, and i don’t like how i portrayed a lot of the relationships and i think it would genuinely be such a different fic if i wrote it today lmao!! i’ve been working on my writing and trying to improve my narratives, character arcs, and endings for awhile now, so i think ive definitely changed from that fic. not to like diss myself but i was really just amateurish and i definitely intended for the ending to not be satisfactory for everyone, but it was rushed and kinda ill fitting so! chanlix totally ran its course for many readers but i planned from the beginning to not break them up— i can’t really undo that past decision😢. if i were to write it today, i think id just put more thought into everything, like WAYY more. i can’t say i would completely change the two boyfriend ending but i would’ve taken a different route to get there.

tldr: not my best moment, but also was literally my debut so i hope you can give me a little bit of leniency 🥺!! i have better fics since and no author is perfect, but i still do appreciate the feedback even after all this time. i do think about that fic often and i have many of my own gripes with it, but i haven’t reached full dissatisfaction to the point where ill delete it and rewrite quite yet lol!
