There is this underrated book series that I used to tell people was one of my forever favorites (Warchild by Karin Lowachee is the first book).

The author is still working on it and I was super pumped for new books and novellas in the verse and ... then she released the first novella and I HATED it. A lot. Suddenly there is a romance between two characters happening no one has ever asked for (they're both shipped with several people but I've never seen anyone ship them - most people wanted them to become brothers int he found family kind at most) and that imo doesn't work, one character doesn't feel like himself anymore and another character has somehow regressed his character development (all in my opinion ofc). I don't want to say that it ruined the rest of the books for me, because I feel like that's a bit childish, but I'm no longer looking forward to new stuff in the series. I'm so bummed about it.

Doesn't help that I used to be very active on her now gone author run forum, reviewed all of her books, always recommended the series and regularly commented on her instagram posts.
I've stopped that. I haven't told her I didn't like it, didn't give it a rating anywhere and didn't write a review.
We were never friends or something but I still feel bad.
