Hmmm idk... this whole traumatized writer's block arc is too sweeped under the sex and smut. Like, I can't really imagine Hana as that grand of a writer since we are only "told" of it. There has not been any facet in Hana's development that has been explored where Hana likes books, stories, let alone writing... it's like the author decided to add this "quirk" to Hana but is unable to expand on it...

    Oh I beg to differ, since chapter one we know about it. The author put some efforts to talk about it frequently.
    Here are some examples :
    - She took literature classes and we know she came back after a break.
    - She didn't want to talk to other people and left immediatly when a guy from her class recognized her for being the winner of the literature prize.
    - Later that guy confessed that he took the same classes as her to meet her. He said her book changed his life and he called himself her first fan. She cried a lot saying Thank you.
    - Her teacher asked her to translate her book but she refused, saying she didn't feel it was hers anymore. The teacher looked at her with pity.
    And so on and so on. There are a lot of reminders throughout the story. It's her deepest wound. I hope Lux will finally be able to offer her some confort and help her heal this trauma.

    Oh and since the story is mostly from Hana's point of view, it logical that we don't know more about it. She doesn't want to remember it thus she think about other things very quickly.
