anna-mozgova24.01.2024, 17:43Thank you, this story unexpectedly delighted me. I’ve become so accustomed to fantasy in academies that real-life realities, as they say, seem a bit wild. So, I guess I’m the wild one now; without magic, everything’s off, my brain just doesn’t work. Honestly, it was a bit hard to read because internet scandals are complete trash. Though I’m glad I read it, as it’s incredibly important to know how to behave when you’re being bullied. It’s great that so many pressing issues of our society were raised, such as online bullying and its consequences, hate, selling yourself for money and fame, toxic relationships, LGBT topics, socially condemned relationships, corruption... Thank you so much for immediately showing in the book that it’s normal to go to a psychologist, to seek help from qualified specialists, and to support yourself. I had suspicions about the real culprit, and I’m glad I can still follow the plot hints or just trust my intuition. I liked the reference to the drama I recognized. I squealed over it, I was so thrilled. Thank you, and wishing you inspiration!!!
alisiia-saifer26.01.2024, 00:02Anna Mozgova, Sincerely thank you! Yes, these are topics that I truly believe need to be discussed because they are very important in our time. Oh, I was thrilled with that drama! It's really cool))

nreegan05.01.2024, 06:09Thank you! A wonderful book with amazing characters and healthy relationships! Dear author, I eagerly await your future stories!
alisiia-saifer05.01.2024, 14:29NReegan, Thank you too! I'm very happy to know that the readers are not indifferent)
valentina-daleka03.01.2024, 12:23Glory to Ukraine!!! Wow, did I write somewhere that it happens with friends, but somehow it happens in real life too. Thank you for the continuation, peace, and victory,
alisiia-saifer03.01.2024, 14:24Valentina Daleka, Glory to the Heroes! Sadly, sometimes friends are not really friends... :(
valentina-daleka01.01.2024, 11:48I sow and scatter, I congratulate you on the New Year, wishing you happiness, peace, and goodness, and a year without the enemy. The investigation is already coming to an end. Thank you.
alisiia-saifer02.01.2024, 00:35Valentina Daleka, Happy New Year! May all the katsaps croak, every single one of them! Yes, it's already the final stretch.
valentina-daleka25.12.2023, 12:51Christ is born! Merry Christmas!!! Wishing you goodness, love, coziness, peace, and victory. Vinnytsia and my homeland. Thank you.
alisiia-saifer26.12.2023, 18:37Valentina Daleka, Let's praise him! Happiness, kindness, and a swift Victory! And thank you! :)
valentina-daleka20.12.2023, 09:29Glory to Ukraine!!! Wow, so much material for arguments ))) still, my version remains unchanged - the detective and his version could have been possible because he would also be filming, but again, it will be the picture they need, and maybe Yegor is involved in this too. Thanks for the update, wishing you a peaceful, cozy day.
alisiia-saifer24.12.2023, 01:17Valentina Daleka, Glory to the Heroes! Well, for now, they are still doing pretty well and successfully carrying out their own calculations without outside help) And Yegor - he's still a piece of crap in any case...
valentina-daleka18.12.2023, 10:29Glory to Ukraine!!! Wow, it's getting really hot, not a game at all. Thanks for the update. Peace and victory.
alisiia-saifer18.12.2023, 20:22Valentina Daleka, Glory to the Heroes! Yes, the tension is rising)))
valentina-daleka12.12.2023, 10:38Glory to Ukraine!!! Thank you for the update, but why don't our heroes hire a detective to keep an eye on Alina? Maybe then they could track her down. Instead, they’re stuck in one place, calculating something, while no one is specifically watching the girl. Peace and victory.
alisiia-saifer13.12.2023, 22:40Valentina Daleka, Glory to the Heroes! Why are they supposedly stuck in one place? On the contrary, they are doing a great job, actively narrowing down the circle of suspects. After all, every time there’s no photo from a fake date posted on the Telegram channel, it means there was no suspect in that group. So, this is a result that shows the effectiveness of their actions: the number of hypothetical suspects is decreasing, and soon they will be able to track down the one who is playing against them. And the photos appear also because many channel subscribers might just see her on the streets under various circumstances, take a photo, and send it in, because, unfortunately, it’s just a perverse kind of entertainment for them. That’s a feature of our modern world, where everyone has a phone with a camera in their hand and leads an active life on social media.
valentina-daleka08.12.2023, 10:16Glory to Ukraine!!! Thanks for the update. And why do I feel like there will be drama on Instagram again, that she's cheating with someone else now, someone is definitely following the girl. Peace and victory.
alisiia-saifer08.12.2023, 16:20Valentina Daleka, Glory to the Heroes! Definitely, it's unlikely she'll manage to avoid a mess here...
olga-kovtuniak08.12.2023, 00:33Who is Yegor and where did I miss this?
alisiia-saifer08.12.2023, 00:56Olga Kovtunyak, Everything is fine - for you, this is a new character from the heroine's past, about whom you will learn more in the upcoming updates :)
valentina-daleka20.11.2023, 09:51Glory to Ukraine!! Thanks for the update ,)) Either someone is following Alina and taking pictures, or I still lean towards the thought that Rulan is involved in everything, so the girl needs to take a closer look at the guy. Wishing you a peaceful, quiet week.
alisiia-saifer08.12.2023, 00:54Anna Moskvichova, "Too little content" is not criticism, but disrespect for the author's work, who, in your opinion, for 50 hryvnias (of which 30% is taken by the platform) should provide you with a dozen pages every day, and even then, it would still not be enough for you. If you don’t see anything rude in your comments and consider it normal, then clearly something is wrong here, and it’s not with me. Don’t tell the author how much they are obligated to write—they won’t tell you how to read. That’s one. And once again: SUBSCRIPTION implies that the book is published as it is being written. No less than the volumes stipulated by the contract per month and no longer than the time period regulated by the contract. The reader can either read the book at the pace the author publishes it, or accumulate updates and read a lot at once, or even wait for the completion and read everything at once. That’s three. As an author, I fully fulfill my obligations to the platform regarding the pace of publication as regulated by the contract. That’s two (and the rest is nothing more than just YOUR PERSONAL WHIMS). All the best.
olga-kovtuniak02.12.2023, 13:25I can't help but write, especially considering some of the comments. The book is interesting and intelligent, with wonderful thoughts and remarks from the main character. Perhaps that's why it has fewer readers, because it deals with harsh realities. Who among us hasn't fallen for the general hysteria under some exposing post on social media, and who hasn't become a victim of it by going against the commonly accepted opinion? We are very dependent on various social networks today, and therefore this book is about us, and we might not be so lucky to have someone nearby who has the courage to hold a different opinion. In 80% of cases, such a student would be forced to withdraw their documents, and in 60% of cases, even the rector would be fired if they didn't have connections. As for the subscription, it's the price of a coffee with a bun, not even a pastry. And everyone decides for themselves whether to continue reading or not. Good luck and success!
alisiia-saifer03.12.2023, 01:38Olga Kovtunyak, Let's hope that such people will be found someday :) Thank you))
nreegan24.11.2023, 12:59I really like this story! And all your other books too! The plot is interesting and intriguing. And the main characters of this book are just wonderful! They are vivid, engaging, and most importantly, relatable! I sincerely thank you for what you do!
alisiia-saifer24.11.2023, 15:35NReegan, Sincerely thank you for your words and your support! This is incredibly important to me! :)
valentina-daleka16.11.2023, 06:52Glory to Ukraine!!! An interesting story, and for some reason, I think that Alina made a big mistake by telling Ruslan, because I believe he is that very admin, and his friends seem quite shady too. Thank you, wishing you a peaceful, quiet day.
alisiia-saifer19.11.2023, 10:28Valentina Daleka, Glory to the Heroes! Thank you, I'm very glad that you like it! I'm trying very hard :) Actually, Alina isn't in a hurry to trust him completely, and that's why she told him not quite the truth, but a slightly different version. As for whether he is an admin or not - it's unknown. However, there are questions for him, indeed.
