Happy birthday, Reintold. Sana healed ka na para bumalik ka ulit with a new pen name para hindi mo na need i-address previous issues mo.

No matter how people hate on Jonaxx for her "problematic" plots, wala kayong masasambit sa ugali niya. Lately I saw a rage bait doon sa problematic gp ng isang author na na call out lately — and yeah, that person is spreading rumour kung bakit "ilang daw ang mga Co teachers kay jonaxx noon" and someone even said something related to "homewrecking" kuno and that's a serious accusation. And siguro nga, sa sobrang untouchable ni J eh need niyo mag create ng kung ano anong narrative just so you can fill the gaps in your mind that makes you unable to acknowledge that she's a person too and that she's SUCCESSFUL.

And tbh, isa talaga sa tumatak sa'kin na good deeds ni Jonaxx is yung nagdonate siya sa mga nasalanta noon. Instead of naming it with hers, Jsls ang nilagay niya. And that secretly namakyaw ng books ng friends niya to help? And the fact that she established an app to extend help to other authors? Yeah fuck no, you can't bring someone who's enjoying their own playground just because you're bitter. She's kind, generous, passionate, and SUCCESSFUL without having to be loud about it. Kahit saang anggulo mo tignan, hindi mo makikitaan ng kahit anong yabang yang ea na yan dahil ang gusto lang naman niyan eh magsulat. Hate on her execution, hate on her plot, and hate on her writing but at the end of the day, she'll keep growing.

Despite being problematic, I think we can't deny the fact na iba din talaga yung support system kay Gwy around 2020–2022 like kaya siguro na-t-tolerate. Pero aside from that ang galing nilang mag hype and sometimes it reeks kung gaano nila kamahal yung works niya. Not to mention na around that time din siya yung halos may pinaka magandang artist group like rebluna, chiconakaya , holijaez, and so on. But yeah, may areums talaga na... Ykwim

Like literally, readers are going out of hand. Sobrang unhinged and ang tataas ng standards sa dapat gawin ng author sa personal lives nila. Sometimes I hope na mayroong author na hindi nila ma lock into "professionalism box" para lang ma satisfy yung fanaticism nila. We need more prangka and unbothered authors who doesn't care with these petty shits. Like hindi naman kasi required na prim and proper ang mga writers, they're literally writing and doing what they want while making us satisfied WITHOUT GETTING PAID.

I hope an author out there will be able to get out of trends and rather start being authentic. I miss when each story has their own taste on it. Ngayon kasi pare-parehas na halos starting from book cover, recycled plot, and pakulo. Give us something new.
