Hi! I'm not dead! Ok, I'm just kidding. I just wanted to give out an update since I discontinued this novel.

I'll never forget that day today, July 28th. The day I started this novel two years ago and my first ever novel. Yeah, I started my author journey that day with this novel.

Now hear me out, this is not me announcing this novel is coming back though I won't say that it's impossible.

Unlike last year, it's not impossible anymore as ideas for a comeback of this novel have been coming back slowly. It's not official plans or anything but this novel is not over.

I really wish I could say this novel is getting a return or something but it won't be the case, at least not for now.

So much has changed since I discontinued this novel. Last year, I did an update on my whereabouts and mentioned I had 5 novels. It was huge for me and my writing style and everything was so much better.

Things changed even more in the past year. This past year has been... overwhelming and crazy.

I can officially say I have 10 novels if you include this one. Almost 8 of those are completed and one is ongoing. Completing this novel was never what I managed to do.

Last year, I barely completed my first novel but knowing I completed almost 8 of those is crazy! It's unbelievable!

As you may notice I have improved a lot from the new author I was when I first started this novel, as much as I would have loved to complete this novel, it wasn't possible at the time. I say it was the wrong time, the wrong place.

As I mentioned in the past, I lost interest and motivation, had a lack of planning, was lost with this novel and didn't have the writing skill to write such a novel. It wasn't even the novel I actually wanted to write at first. I tried to be too original back in the day and I admit it.

Ever since then, I made sure that would never happen again.

My work ethic has changed so much and so did my writing style.

As you may notice, compared to before paragraphs are now separated, my vocabulary has improved and there are fewer grammar mistakes as I now have an official app called Grammarly that I used to help correct episodes. There's so much more that got improved but you can't see it unless you go read an episode of one of my other novels!

Nonetheless, my novels aren't only on Tapas now, they are available on both Wattpad and now Inkitt. So, my novels are on 3 platforms.

Ever since I've been on Inkitt, everything changed and I got the support I deserved, no offence to Tapas readers, Inkitt is better built and equipped for that.

Other than that, I did mention my writing style improved but so does the genres of books I do. For those that did read this novel, I bet you remember the fact I sucked at doing dialogues, descriptions of things or people were non-existent and so much more.

I got the chance to read this novel again despite being really busy and gosh it was so bad...but still thank you to those that decided to read this novel despite its poor quality.

I understand that I disappointed some of you and that this novel could've had potential but you now understand my reasoning for it not being the case.

Since this novel got completed, I have written lots of different novels, BL (gay), LGBTQ+ and even GL (lesbian) now! I mostly write BL (gay) through. I now do, Romance, Erotica, Drama, Action, slice of life etc. no fantasy, thriller, science fiction mystery and not much adventure.

Therefore, if you still liked this novel despite its poor quality and still wished to read more coming from me, here's my official novels list. I didn't put the images as the limit is 5 on tapas and if you want to read any of those, go to my profile or search the title. As of July 28th, 2023, here's the full list and information on each of my other novels.

I hope you'll read one of my other novels and if you don't it's fine too. As mentioned earlier, Game of love is not game over, the chance of it coming back is possible but not for now.

Actually, I have yet to announce it but as of next month I'll be going on a partial hiatus due to my studies, so any new projects or novels will go for 2024.

Therefore, I know it's far away but maybe just maybe next year this novel might make a comeback but if it does, it won't be with this version, I'd be like the reboot of The LGBTQ+ gang. It means it would be remade completely from scratch. So, hint, it's most likely next summer if it does end up happening. This is a wrap-up of the 2-year update.
