Hello, and thank you for your reply. Firstly, your reply made me reread my review, and I would like to start by saying I apologize for my clumsy wording that, I agree, made it come off as a bit mean. Therefore, yes, I should clarify I did initially ENJOY THE NOVEL, and I should have made that clearer in my review. I wouldn't have spent my golden tickets and, as you said, continued reading 198 chapters if I didn't. However, the latter half was what I had the most issues with, and therefore lowered my grade. And yes, I realize that there are 218 chapters, but as I do not have access to them yet, I still haven't read the conclusion, which, as was written in the comment in chapter 191, would end in 4 chapters (hence, the feeling of being cheated, maybe think about removing it if possible). I do regret my wording in calling the writing lazy, so for that, I do apologize. It came from frustration with a lack of progress in the second half. But I do agree that it was uncalled for, and I understand you put a lot of heart and effort into the story, which was the reason I even started reading it in the first place. I also want to note that my grading should have been a 3; I accidentally lowered the character stars before submitting. Even though it is a lower score, it does not mean I see you as a writer as subpar. Again, thank you for clarifying and calling me out on my review. I hope you haven't been too offended or that I haven't ruined your day!
