Take this with a grain of salt as it is my own opinion and it may be seen as exaggeration on other’s perspectives, however I fully get why some readers are disappointed of the change of track of your story. NGL, as a reader, I always bookmark the tags to know and remember what I am reading so it was sad that it wasn’t followed. I agree on what the other anon said about saving heartbreaks because, ofcourse, we read stuff that we want and not everyone has the capacity to endure heavy angst (that is why tags are important). But I do believe that readers should be mindful of how they say their criticisms because we are having these types of stories for FREE. Readers can be disappointed but being full on MAD is a different thing. I won’t be reading anymore but I really thank you for your effort on writing! Kudos.

thank you for leaving this comment! like what i’ve said, i take full accountability for not properly tagging the au due to unforeseen changes in the plot. i know i’ve disappointed if not all, then most of the people who were rooting for my latest au to be a fling-kilig type 😅 i’ve labeled it as “slight angst” because i tried writing it as lighthearted as possible but halfway through the process, i’ve realized certain things—especially the details we can’t just disregard (mostly on dh’s side). however, it does not excuse my huge mistake. i was wrong and should be at least called out for that.

thank you for explaining the readers’ perspective, anon. as well as mentioning that GETTING TOO MAD and ATTACKING someone is a different thing from expressing disappointment. i hope we’ll continue to be kind to each other :D
