“Thank you,” Rosalie said as she received the bottle of tea. She in turn handed the author a little gift box. “This is a small token for you. Please accept it.”
“A small gift for me?” the author said happily as she received the gift. “Thank you, you’re so nice. Let me treat you to lunch.”
She was very glad to meet a fan here.
“Let me treat you instead,” Rosalie offered.
“How could I let you do that?” the author said. “Let me give you a treat. Don’t stand on ceremony with me. I’m very thankful for your support for my novel.”
“You write very well and I couldn’t stop reading the novel.”
“I want to hear your assessment of it,” the author said. “What do you think of it? Give me your honest opinion.”
As long as it wasn’t a malicious insult that wasn’t constructive, she could accept any objective comment that came her way.
Rosalie thought about it for a while before saying, “Very dramatized and frustrating, but the story is written very immersively and I got so worked up so many times as I read it. Yet, I couldn’t put it down. The writing isn’t superfluous or unnecessarily flowery. It is clean, straightforward, and easy to read. In general, it’s quite an attractive and very immersive read.”
“Hahaha…” The author chuckled. “I’m writing a drama in the first place. But no matter how dramatic the novel is, it’ll never beat real life.”
Rosalie chuckled, finding this author a nice woman indeed.
“Oh yes. When I read your novel, I noticed this reader by the name of Angie who kept scolding you. Did you see her comments?”
She should have known. The values exemplified in a novel didn’t necessarily represent those of the author. An author simply writes a story filled with many different characters. If their values all represented that of the author, the author would have to be schizophrenic or take on many different faces.
“Look, there she is, scolding me again.” The author scrolled through her phone and spotted Angie’s comment. “She’s so persistent, I really wonder if she hates or loves me. Her minions are having a go at me, too. Good on them. The more they scold me, the more followership I gain. I adore seeing them torn between love and hate toward my novel.”
The author chuckled as she read through the comments.
Rosalie was initially worried that the author might get angry or upset reading the comments. As it turned out, she had been worried for nothing.
This author’s will and resilience were strong indeed, and she would only get stronger in the face of adversity.
Anyone else in her shoes would probably give up on writing and hide from the world.

The readers' comments on the novel: Chasing My Pregnant Wife (Rosalie and Theodore)
Why aren't u updating......
Unrealistic. What a comedy. If Sebastian and Rosalie are cousins, their families must have already prevented them to be together abroad. Isn't it bizarre that nobody is doing something to let them know of their family relationship? And pls stop putting Aurora in a high pedestal. Your readers want Rosalie to be genuinely happy,free of stupid misunderstanding. Thank you....
Another garbled story with lots of gibberish. Absolute rubbish. I got to chapter 26 and can't anymore...
Too many people involve.. sigh~ this is like the most angst novel i've read.....
I just wish one thing...that the writer will not bring too many unnecessary and unrealistic twists,too many misunderstanding,miscommunication that gives the reader the hint not to continue with the novel. In the long run, We lost our interest in this kind of unending plot....
Thanks for the update !...
