I thoroughly enjoyed your Villainess and Heroine novel.  I know it has been just over a year since your last posting, but I am hopeful both your stories have not been abandoned.  I am eager to see more, but I will always wait however long you need for a future update.
          
          I also remember seeing in some of your comments that you were in the army, so I am also praying that you've been safe and healthy the past year.  Honestly, that is my greatest concern.

Hello, I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed your Dragon princess story :)
          
          I remember reading the story about two years ago now maybe and since then I have recently re-downloaded Wattpad and I’ve probably re-read it like three times by now haha
          
          I feel so bad for poor Nia though :,,) she really just wanted to be strong enough in order to be considered equals with her family, but ended up having her entire self and identity erased in an act of sacrifice
          
          I kind of love the concept of coming back from death but not entirely the same though, and whether the person after death could be considered the same as the person who existed before that act of death
          
          I also find it kind of interesting and frustrating how Roselia tends to escape responsibility, and while I don’t blame them, I’m also kind of concerned on how she just didn’t immediately order all Eden citizens to not physically harm the world’s denizens outside of self defence… like maybe it would’ve seemed unreasonable, but that level of loyalty would’ve meant that Eden citizens would’ve listened either way
          
          I suppose that the story wouldn’t have had much of a plot though ^^’
          
          Either way, thanks for choosing to share your story with us, I’ll be sure to look forward to any new chapters if you choose to post more! :)

@Lo_to141 Hello! Thanks for taking the time to write all this. Indeed, it's been a considerable time since I've updated...While I don't want to say I've stopped completely, but I have been busy with various things, although thoughts of updates have been at the back of my mind. Perhaps one day, but for now, as thanks for writing all these words of support, I will offer some thoughts regarding my creation process.
            
            Roselia is, in some sense, not an individual that possess the traits of a main character. She is someone who is exceedingly normal, and by her own words, smart enough to realize she's not smart enough. She is a person who gives into her inner desires to be lazy, and I think she realizes that herself. A person who always love to push her problems to her future self. In some sense, she's like a reflection of our weakest selves, always giving into our inner laziness. Even so, I think, she tries her best, yet over time, she has slowly come to be affected by the thoughts of Eden. The very place she has built has come to slowly influence her ideals, and perhaps she no longer possess the nature of a normal person. That being said though, the part that really resonated with me when I created her was, she is a person that we can all yell at her and go "why didn't you think of that!?", and that bit is very much intentional, because it felt compelling in a certain way for her to be made as the inverse of hindsight. A person blind to the future, I suppose.
            
            Nia, on the other hand, was the inverse of Roselia. An individual that acknowledges her weaknesses, but never stops moving forward. Perhaps it is on the other extreme. She keeps on moving, and never knows when to stop. She runs without stopping, and now her punishment is an endless road to run. A sense of irony, I suppose.
            
            I hope that at least some of these behind the scene thoughts has briefly satisfied your appetite for the story, and may we meet again some day when I update :)

Hey Mr. Author, Do you have some story recommendations for this humble readers?

@DmrIkhsan Personally wise, I quite enjoyed Overlord and Youjo Senki, they were quite the fun experience. Something that was more down to earth and emotionally meaningful, Grimgar gave me a good time.

@ PainfulExile  I already have enough recommendations for a novel. So it's will be a great help if you give me LN recommendations.
