[1] I've done some changes to the novel:

- removed all emoji and links in the non story chapter

- replaced the cover with the WN Gen-AI version

- reset the genre to Historical Fiction (Female) not sure when it as set as LGBT. Tbh, it's really historical fiction even though the main protagonists are gay lovers.

Unfortunately, this may have made the novel unsearchable. I have an active ticket open with IT, but it might be that they can't fix it. If so, anyone reading this note would have discovered this story via external promotion links or search engine browsers.
