The Illusion of Reality

Despite the fact that she is almost sixteen years old, Melissa's best friends are still the ones she created herself for not knowing how to deal with the pain of loneliness, rejection and the loss of a very special person. In addition, her troubled family life and her fears of hurting someone or being hurt again fuel her insecurities every day. Meanwhile, Alexander seems to see nothing but himself and doesn't seem to care about anyone else, especially when he's focused on his biggest passion: music. Mel fears that her biggest secret will be discovered one day and loathes the world of isolation she has created for herself, but Alex enjoys being alone by choice and the events around him apparently don't affect him.

Both don't want a rapprochement to happen and, at first, that's the only thing they have in common. Still, the afternoons of reading, conversations about musical genres and letters written by the two are just the beginning of the changes that come from the moment they finally start to open up to each other and face their own traumas.

Well then... I don't know if any of my readers are still out there, baaaas I'm back! Unfortunately, I had to take a break from everything for several reasons, both to try to deal with my insecurities and problems with my own writing and also to take care of myself and my mental health (because, look... it's not easy, life it's been on hard level for a while, see?! After all this time, I ended up deciding to start all my projects over again and that's why I'm here, posting this story from the beginning again. I already have eight chapters edited, a few more to edit and I have the basic script organized, so I think I'll be able to keep a good rhythm ♥

Just in case, everything here is mine, okay? No copies, don't even think about plagiarizing. I've been working on this story for NINE years now and I'm not going to let anyone come and steal my sweetheart from my writing life, no u_u

VERY IMPORTANT WARNING: This rewrite will have some mentions of a suicide. It will NOT be one of the main themes (this is for another story related to this one that I intend to write and post in the future, I am informing myself and preparing to approach this theme in the best way possible). The conversations here will be about the marks that suicide leaves on those who stay and will only happen in a few very sporadic moments, but I think it's essential to leave this well warned from the beginning. This story will also NOT have explicit cutscenes, only discussions, but there will be trigger warning when needed.

Simplesmente adorei essa história, merece muitos leitores. essa história é definitivamente a melhor que estou lendo, não tem comparação. a forma como a autora escreve é muito fascinante, nos prendendo cada vez mais em tudo que acontece, recomendo muito, mais muito mesmo, sempre que leio um capítulo, fico pensando o tempo todo sobre cada trecho lido, é realmente uma história que marca muito na mente. ^^ Perfeito!

Uma história que faz você se identificar e se envolver com a personagem principal.
A Ilusão da Realidade tem com centro a história de Melissa, uma adolescente de 16 anos que se sente deslocada do mundo em que vive, os dilemas que ela vive, alguns de nós já passamos em nossa fase adolescente, por exemplo, quem nunca se sentiu estranho ou deslocado ao chegar em escola nova ou cidade nova? Ou então, quem nunca levou implicância de um "valentão" ou "valentona" ou " popular" da escola? Lendo essa história, pode até se surpreender ao dizer mentalmente "Já passei por isso" ou "Aconteceu exatamente isso comigo". E com isso criamos uma identificação com a personagem e passamos a torcer para que ela vença qualquer obstáculo.
Essa empatia que sentimos pela personagem, devemos a autora, que cria uma personagem tão humana, a ponto de fazer o leitor se envolver com a história da personagem, além claro do enredo fluido e cativante.
