In this novel, the author seemed to be writing for themselves, not for readers. I mean, there were several points in the novel where a normal author could have woven the plot to give either an immense sense of frustration or satisfaction/justice to the reader, but that didn't happen here. For example, when the FL was accused of plagiarism, and then was cleared. A normal celebrity would've posted something poignant for her fans, which would then give a sense of closure and satisfaction for a reader, but yeah, that didn't happen here. Another thing, the person who accused her of plagiarism only apologized in person, but not in public, so for me as a reader, the apology didn't feel complete. So it was like, the FL didn't seem to care for public opinions nor fame that much, she only cared that her name was cleared, and this is where I wasn't sure if that was a conscious decision from the author, or if it wasn't deliberate because the author genuinely felt that way irl.

One more thing, the novel seems to be a quest for "who has a darker experience, the FL or the ML" type of story. I actually don't know if the FL and ML will last long in real life because it's like one broken human being leading another broken human being along, or two broken people trying to heal each other. But, I don't dare speak about the intricacies and complexity of human relationships. I am cheering for these two characters to be happy from here on.
