Some of these comments are genuinely making me scratch my head. ??

Lingling has only just returned after four long years.

Many of you keep saying she should move on, stop looking back, and simply let go of the past. But from the very beginning, I established that Lingling is a yearner.

She loves deeply, holds on fiercely, and that's a fundamental part of who she is in this story.

Not every character heals quickly, and not every story is about moving on as soon as possible. Sometimes it's about carrying love, grief, and hope for much longer than seems reasonable.

If that isn't the kind of story you enjoy, that's completely okay. Reading is a personal experience, and not every story will resonate with everyone. But this has always been the direction of the narrative.

To be honest, if the story is frustrating or boring for you, you are free to stop reading.

Writing is already challenging enough without trying to satisfy every single expectation.

Perhaps the version of the story you're looking for is one you would write differently yourselfβ€”and that's perfectly valid too.

I appreciate everyone who has been reading and sharing their thoughts. However, comments demanding that the story become something it was never intended to be can be discouraging. If this continues, I may consider taking the story down.

Thank you to those who understand the journey I'm trying to say.

Again this is not your typical love story.
