I'm not sure if I can thank you enough for reading this from the start to the very end. You can't imagine how much this means to me, thank you so so much! I'll make sure to catch up on your novel as fast as I can, but considering I'm only halfway through, it might take me some more time. xD
Your feedback -- both positive and negative -- helped me become a better writer. I'll make sure to think back to all your helpful comments whenever I find myself writing my next novel!
I'm happy to read you liked the conclusion. Your analogy regarding the puzzle is beautiful. When I wrote the last ten chapters or so, I actually thought of myself giving out a couple of puzzle pieces per chapter to the reader, making sure that the last piece only appears in the very last chapter. Glad to hear you were able to solve the puzzle, and at the pace I had intended as well!
I definitely agree about the side characters. Although I'm not exactly sure who Ayaka is xD I put a lot of emphasis on the three main characters Kousei, Mahiru and Yuuna, but I would have liked to make some other characters feel more alive as well -- in particular, Mahiru's family. Unfortunately, it wasn't possible due to a lack of time, but in the end, I only have myself to blame for finding out about this contest so late haha.
Thank you so much for going on this journey with me! It has been an honour to see your name appear under every chapter. Until next time!
