Alright! I've done the Hotaka situation, but what about my exams!
My exams are starting in a couple of weeks! Wait, it's a couple of weeks, I should be fine. What's important is how I'm gonna get these two to like each other.
Because apparently, Hotaka is fine with a closet weeaboo for a girlfriend. Man, I wish all guys were that accepting...
Anyways, I don't have to worry about my exams 'til like, next week. So for now, I guess I'll focus on my novel.
After arriving home, I walked into my room after a hot, relaxing, bath. Man, hot water is like a blessing from the heavens above. Like, seriously, if there wasn't any hot water, I would've already froze to death in this wintery weather.
Alright, tangent over now. I entered my room and opened my computer to start writing. But to my surprise, there was a notification on my novel!
Wow! Someone actually read my novel! They even left a review!
*the review reads*
This novel is great! The characters are so lovable and the "action" is super detailed and really gets you in the mood! Hahaha!
-SunshineD.
Wow, he or she liked it! Probably a 'she', though. What guy would enjoy reading other dudes screwing each other? I mean, unless they're gay.
I wonder what I can respond to this...?
*Drafted reply*
Author's Response: Hey! Glad you liked it!
...
Really, that's it? I can do better! Let's try praising the reader...
Author's Response: Hey! Glad you liked it! I'm proud of you for reading through all of that!
...
What? I sound like this girl's dad or something! I have to sound more professional!
Author's Response: Hey! Glad you liked it! It makes me really happy that you read my work and enjoyed it! It brings a smile to my face every time someone says they find a part of my story "good".
...
Okay, probably TMI, but it's my honest opinion I guess... But wouldn't that make me seem desperate for attention and reviews?
I gotta change that! Or at least remove the TMI!
Author's Response: Hey! Glad you liked it! I'm proud of you for reading through all of that! It makes me really happy that you read my work and enjoyed it!

Yeah! That sounds good and professional! I just wish I had the courage to say what I really want to, but I guess insecurity gives me a big no-no.
I really wish that more people reviewed my work... I mean, it would be really cool if people from everywhere came together just to talk about a single work I made. And I could like, talk to them about it!
Man, that sounds great! I wanna talk to those people now! I'm so excited. But wait, there's literally only one person...
Well, dreams are the only free thing nowadays. So I can only dream of that day...
