Dear Readers,


There is something I would like to announce for this fan fiction novel.

You see, I decided to discontinue this story than finish it until the end.

I am very aware that I haven't updated for a year(?) now and it was because I focused on my undergraduate thesis and college first. But I also have to admit that I have been neglecting this story intentionally.

I started this back in 2023? or even earlier (couldn't really rely on my wattpad revision history because they also count the days where I change the book's aesthetic) and I gotta admit at some point, the storytelling that I wanted to pull off didn't pass to my expectations and I become dissatisfied.

To fully understand the factors why I am going to discontinue this one, I made a list:


The progress were rushed. I am not talking about how "fast" I am to update, because the updates are slow as hell (let's be for real). It's the overall story pacing; they are all over the place and keeps changing small details that even I have to give a hard side eye on this work when I'm reading it again these days.


I realized that I should have keep things slow. This is also related to storytelling issues, but I never realized that I was spoonfeeding some information rather than speak for themselves. I apologize for that because I have a feeling that it ruined the story at some point.


The amount of flaws and background I have for Yvette. Because what? Why do they have that background? For a dramatic effect? I hate it lmao.


I want to solidify the character's relationship with other canon characters, as well as with you, the readers. In all honesty, personally I suck at portraying relationship. So I am planning to improve them by taking time as the story progresses forward.


This one is a major one—-I suddenly realized how to approach the conflict and their role in the story. The plot looks good but I have to pull off the execution of course. And right now, at this state of the book, I couldn't fix it and I don't want to sloppily tie all the conflicts in such a poor condition.

If you're reading this announcement and you expected it was a new chapter, I'm sorry to disappoint you with such news but I would also thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I know you guys have been supporting and reading this far because you want to see the end of the story. But I don't really want to continue this and eventually killed by how poorly executed the story was.

Because of course, just like you, I genuinely want to see the story in their best shape. So, I will discontinue this one and start a new one with the same premise.

If, after everything I have stated here, made you decide to stop/drop/remove this story out of your library and reading lists, I understand and know that I harbor no hard feelings (because why would I?). Thank you for supporting this book up until this point and I wish you to read and craft the stories you would like to make! ♡

But if you decide to read the upcoming remake version, you are still undeniably welcome! To be honest, I am mostly writing this for myself (and for my best friend lmao) but the amount of readers who I keep commenting and seeing them add this to their lists made me to keep going.

The remake version will have some differences. Here is the list:


Yvette won't be a police officer but a writer.


Everett won't be their younger brother anymore as the Sinclair siblings will be twins in the new story. Of course, their deaths will be also different.


They have parents but won't be much of a focus nor they will be mentioned.


Important details will be implied than spoon-fed and much more twists to come.


The title won't be Gone Astray anymore to avoid confusion from this one.

As much as I want to explain each of them, that would ruin the fun.

The remake version will be release on August 18, 2025 (UTC/GMT +8)

And just to clarify—this book won't be put down. It will still be visible but I will no longer update this.

Additionally, I strictly thought of this book plot, original characters, and events. Anything that may seem similar to any other is purely coincidence.

Lastly, I don't use nor I will never approve of AI allegations for this. I will die on this hill if I ever know anyone of you feed this to them or plagiarized this story and claim this as their own. I may be dissatisfied with this book but I still acknowledge them as my blood and skill. /srs

As for my final message to everyone, thank you so much for your support for this story in the past few years. I will always be grateful to you all! ♡♡♡ /gen

Sincerely,
The Author
