AN ANNOUNCEMENT ME!!!!
To every single reader who has stayed, who has returned, who has read through the night ....
This one is for you.
It is with a full heart and genuinely trembling hands that I get to say this:
...THE NOVEL HAS BEEN RENEWED FOR SEASON THREE!!!!!! ...
The story continues. Elaine comes home. The world expands. And everything that was planted across two seasons begins to bloom - or burn - depending on where you're standing.
But that is not the only news.
For everyone who has been here since the beginning, for everyone who found us somewhere in the middle, for everyone who stumbled onto Chapter One at two in the morning and didn't sleep -
We are approaching 90,000 views.
And when we get there, I have a surprise waiting for you. Something I have been quietly preparing. Something I think you are going to love.
I am not saying anything more than that.
You'll know it when you see it.
ONE HUNDRED CHAPTERS
I need to stop and actually say that out loud.
One hundred chapters.
When I wrote the first line of this story - a strong breeze upon Colden's head wakes him up - I did not know if anyone would read past the first page. I did not know if Colden would find Marco. I did not know if Carmine would get her moment. I did not know if Elaine would become someone worth rooting for.
I know now. Because you told me.
One hundred chapters later, we have built something I am genuinely proud of. Not just the story - though I am proud of the story - but the community around it. The comments that made me rewrite a scene because you felt something I hadn't intended. The readers who noticed details I thought no one would catch. The people who came back every Monday, every Wednesday, every Friday, without fail.
One hundred chapters. Six months. One story that somehow became all of ours.
It has been the greatest honour of my writing life.
A SMALL BUT IMPORTANT REQUEST
I need to ask something of you, and I want to be honest about why.
Please comment. Please like. Please rate.
I know you are reading - the views tell me that. But WebNovel's algorithm does not run on views alone. It runs on engagement. Comments, likes, ratings - these are what tell the platform that this story matters, that it deserves to be seen by more people, that it should be recommended to the next reader who might need it.
It does not have to be long. It does not have to be eloquent. It can be a single word. More. It can be an emoji. It can be the thing you wanted to say but thought was too small to bother with.
It is never too small. It always matters.
Every comment is a signal that says this story is alive. Help me keep it alive.
THANK YOU
These six months have been the best months of my life.
I mean that without exaggeration and without performance. This story has given me a reason to sit down every day and build something. You have given me a reason to keep building when it was hard and when I doubted and when I almost didn't.
Writing is a strange and solitary thing. You sit alone and you make something out of nothing and you send it into the world and you wait. And then someone comments that they cried at a chapter you wrote at midnight, or that a character you almost cut became their favourite, or that they read the whole thing in one sitting and now they can't sleep —
And suddenly the solitary thing becomes the most connected feeling in the world.
That is what you have given me. Every single one of you.
Thank you for reading. Thank you for staying. Thank you for caring about Colden and Marco and Carmine and Elaine and Francis and Lily and everyone who lives in these pages.
Season Three is coming. The surprise is coming. And I am not done yet.
Not even close.
With every bit of gratitude I have,Your Author ....
Season Three premieres soon.
Like. Comment. Rate. Let the algorithm know we are here....
[ I have , like used different fonts and patterns in places so that the whole thing doesn't look like a freaking paragraph .....] - I am totally not crying writing this .
Also you all might think that i overreact - like 100k views is not that much big od a deal . but it is for me , so its a thank you from my heart to all the readers THANK YOU..
