   I only want to give it one star, not because the author's writing is bad, but because of my resentment at being let down. [Clown] I've subscribed to almost all of this author's works, and the first time I followed her serialization, I encountered a precipitous hiatus in updates. Moreover, she repeatedly broke her promises and delayed updates, eventually even blocking VIP chapters for limited updates. [Clown] I don't want to love her anymore.
