Please read this notice thoroughly from beginning to end.

Hello to my readers who have been waiting until present day/2022! ❤️

I missed you all dearly and I absolutely adore all the support that my book has achieved since it's release in 2017.

If you are one of my readers also in Brothers Conflict: Doctor, Doctor and/or in My Childhood Penpal, then you will notice that the some parts of this notice is similar or even exactly the same to the NOTICE ② and Author's Note #1 that I had published in those books respectively.

To start off with an apology:

I am terribly sorry for failing you guys and even myself.

I have been going through a lot, specifically a lot of thinking and self-discovery, that included realizations of my anxiety and trauma that I experienced in the past.

I was really unable to function as properly in all aspects of my life, but nonetheless I still attended my classes and did my duties as a student, daughter, etc. I pretended that everything was fine when I knew things were not.

Anyhow, I honestly had a hard time coming up with ways to continue the book or rather motivate myself to write more for all the sections that I've yet to publish. It was quite a struggle and I'd be lying if I didn't say that it still is challenging as I had mentioned before that I have significantly lost some drafts in the past. 😔

However, I ask all of you not to worry as I am handling myself quite better than the past year/s that I have been feeling this way. I am really sure to update multiple times this year and maybe even finish the book before I go through anything hiatus-related again. 😅

I am working on my writing and I want to show my improvements and my plans for this story through the next updates that I will be posting, so I hope you guys will still look forward to it. 🥺

Second of all, I just really want to express my gratitude. 😭

I cannot imagine how much attention my book has gotten from back in 2017 when I barely had 100 reads for the book in total, and now I have hundreds of reads for each chapter— that is just such a big milestone for me and I am so thankful that many of you have appreciated and continue to appreciate this work of mine despite my shortcomings. 🤧

Not to mention the amount of notifications I have been receiving about votes, some comments, as well as reading list adding— you all have left me speechless. I cannot thank you enough for bringing this ray of light to my world of writing. I will be honest, this is the book that I had set a lot of goals for because this was the first book that I've gotten much interaction with readers since the beginning. Even if only few were reading when I initially published this book, you guys had a lot of reactions that boosted my activity ad well as my motivation to update. 💙💙💙

I will do my best to try to meet and/or exceed your expectations for this book in the future. I owe it all to you guys for giving me warmth and inspiration to push forward in completing this book.

I also mentioned in my NOTICE ② from my Brothers Conflict book that I would create special chapters or sections as compensation for being MIA for so long, and thus, made so many of you anticipate for quite a while.

Rest assured that I will also do my best to prepare for specials when I think of what to add. However, I'd like to say that you guys shouldn't anticipate anything yet as I'm still planning a lot for this.

UPDATE NEWS:
Officially, I am likely to start updating in mid-2022. I know that I'm halfway done with this book, but I am also planning how I would continue onto volume 2 and 3. Yes, I am confirming that I have planned up to volume 3 in the past and have yet to decide if I can manage producing more books in the series as I do not know how long updates will take in the future, depending on how busy my life offline will get.

SEQUEL POLL NEWS:
If you recall the sequel chat chapter that I made before to ask for voting on which type of polling should be done to choose the next set of seiyuus for Volume 2, I would like to announce that I must ultimately cancel the set vs two seiyuus voting as I believe that set voting would be the optimum polling way that would help me work more efficiently. With my busyness and motivational difficulties, I think I could make the series work better if I could have a list ahead of time instead of anticipating the votes for each seiyuu that I would have to compose a 10-chapter story for.

I am really sorry for this sudden notice, but I hope you all understand my intentions and points for the better future of this book being that my well-being isn't the best right now.

Honestly, this is all I have to say. I am just filled with mixed emotions of gratitude and apologetic feelings.

But I hope you guys know that I never had ANY plans of disregarding all your support. 🥺🥺🥺

I ask that you all understand that I went through a phase full of craziness that affected my well-being apart from the pandemic life transitioning. I took time to heal and now I am back to meet you all with your generous support, accepting my own flaws and shortcomings. 🥺

Belatedly, I will also answer comments related to questions when I reread each chapter as to check if I have replied to all inquiries and related comments no matter how late I am by days, weeks, months, or even years. 😭🤧

I noticed there are not many comments, but I'd just like everyone to know that I would also be glad to entertain questions or discussions regarding the book through private message in case you are shy, uncomfortable, or conscious about posting a public comment. 🙂

Thank you so much again, and I hope that you all have a great day/night wherever you are. ☀️🌙

Please stay safe, healthy, and sane during these tough times to which our health and well-being in all aspects must be nurtured more. ❤️💙

Just know that I appreciate each and every one of you, regardless of the amount of support that you have shown for me and/or for this book. Every bit of your time is so precious to me, so thank you for spending time to read my book, commenting your reactions and opinions, pondering about the storyline and my updates, and even sharing it with your friends.

Much love,
Your author-san, KXXXII (Kira). 🥺💙
