-
Q: Why do you write the web novel?
A: Sometimes I got bored and motivated and inspirations from the web novels I read.
-
Q: Have you written the online books before?
A: Yes. Back on Year 2015 that I started writing the fanfiction story of my former favorite cartoon shows (I can't mention it). Then I published it on Wattpad and Fanfiction.Net. Years later, I lost energy for writing more fanfiction stories, so I deleted my old Wattpad account and become inactive on Fanfiction.net.
Thanks to my current obsession (such as watching anime and reading manga and novels from Japan), I started writing again (since Year 2023) but in original story (not fanfiction story) with my own characters. Specifically, I read and watch betrayal-and-false-accusations-related stuff that made me decide to create my own story about it, with the inspirations from the anime, manga and novels I watch and read.

Q: How do you feel about False Accusations?
A: It's extremely outrageous! I had bit experience of false accusation long time ago, but it wasn't worse.
I mean, false accusation is a very common action from mostly women (no offense, by the way) that like to destroy innocent man's life by saying he committed the crime (mostly r**e, mol**tation, sexual harassment, underwear thief and other sexual-related crimes) that are VERY SERIOUS CRIMES, more likely they like playing like a victim for fun.
Of course, false accusation will instantly (I MEAN, INSTANTLY) make everyone including the innocent man's family believe the lies from accusers (no matter they don't have evidence at all/have fake evidence and even make fake witnesses to create more lies) and never believe the truths from the true victim. Much worse, the innocent victim's life will change forever that can lead to mental illness and have trust issues on people, especially women.

-
Q: In your opinion, should False Accusation be illegal in real life?
A: Yes, it should! Because false accusation is not only the WORST method of making lies, but also it ruins the innocent victim's life. I mean, it's okay to make lies… HOWEVER! Making false accusation on the innocent victim is WAY GETTING OUT OF HAND/GONE TOO FAR!!!
In case of the innocent victim being imprisoned for the crimes he never committed, that punishment should be the same to the false accuser (or heavier punishment for her) to serve justice for the true victim.
