Wow...well, you know what? PEAK 🫡
I have so many thoughts and feelings... hope I remember to include everything on my mind. Also yap warning:
First the way mukashi hanged with the chandelier metaphor like miya in the first chapter... I salute you for pulling that off the way you did.
Tbh your whole approach with mukashi is refreshing, at the beginning of the novel I thought we will exclusively focus on miya's struggles while mukashi will be the quite troubled man who will get his awakening moment and be magically healed and be swept in the lover role at an Inevitable point.
The focus on those two internal struggles is this stories strongest component and I'm glad you stayed loyal to that to the very end. (Rare occurrence in romance novels but I'll spare you my rant, I've spammed you with comments enough).
I also loved the consistent narrative of mukashi's decline, the buildup, foreshadowing it was all there yet delusion convinced me otherwise.
As my theory gene and miya are siblings because her parents went to the US and gene from Texas...you know what I won't elaborate imma just grab my clown wig real quick. 😂🤡
Speaking of gene and his sister loved the foreshadowing of the fan letters in the first chapter leading to all this you made the plot tight and focused!
Wish you the best of luck!
