Stopping/ taking a break, with this one is your prerogative..I want to give my two cents here though. I am not anything when it comes to writing but expecting understanding from readers for a few maybe not all characters will be the last thing Id want for my story. Somewhere down the line, it may even be a dishonest comment.
Secondly, I understand readers comment affect a writer since the characters are like creations of hers, an emotional connect you have with your own story..but those comments.. all were reactions..
l understand after 37 chapters , a character is established, and an understanding was expected, but like Arnav blasted, the readers too got heavy duty in the spur of the moment..
Anyways, you yourself had said that you've done writing before and otherwise too you are a grown, sensible working woman and I may be the last person who should go all preachy on you, that is not my intention though, but I just want to say if in the least bit the note encircled me too since about myself I know I not a very nice or an understanding being and had expressed my displeasure at a few things about Aman and Khushi strongly, then from hereon I l refrain from doing so. Never in the least , the intention was to discourage you . Though obviously those comments, who so evers, they were have made you feel so strongly that used 'failure'. I believe all were just reactions for characters and otherwise your narration, the story that this is has always been praised. It will remain one of a kind of gem that shouldnt go wasted.
We couldn't have expected everyone to go all "I understand" ..the last two chapters were such , that the varying intense reaction/povs was a given and its natural. Also, it only means they were quite successful.
Anyways, if after 37 chapters, as you said, a few couldnt get the vein, likewise, even after so long into writing it, your note made me realize that you can stop H and A. Considering this was your last ditch attempt , one would never know which comment would be the final nail in the coffin. On my part, I guess, I had gotten too much emotionally involved in the story and if in case you stop then it will pinch a lot. So rather than always be on the edge and think what to write in a comment and what not so as to not hurt you , Il control my involvement. As much as an outsider may laugh at us, ffs ARE an integral part of our lives, and I dont want to hurt too much if we are left in a lurch in this one.
Keeping all this aside, the chapter was fab. I especially glad for Khushi s thought process while she was at the terrace. It gave a rest to all of my concerns since if there hadnt been any insecurity it would have been very unnatural. Ofcourse otherwise, I hadnt expected her to run away or detach him and give a cold shoulder since that doesn't happen in real life.
Arnavs detachment too didn't come as a surprise but when it happened , it was quite hurtful. Its a long road ahead. Waiting for the next one. :)
