It's official, the 2025 version of I'm Not Your Boy Toy is now available to be read as of now on either Wattpad or Tapas! As for the third platform Inkitt, it is still waiting to be approved.

The new version includes the first half of the chapter meaning a whomping 29 chapters with one being the original 2023's Valentine Day special and the last being the characters' profiles.

Also, unlike the original, all the chapters that are now included, include the extra explicit chapters that were only available on Inkitt before.

If you enjoyed reading I'm Not Just Your Boy Toy and you wish to read the new version, now's your chance.

Additionally, for those who have already read the original, you will notice that it’s especially as the story progresses that the 2025 version becomes progressively different than the original.

I hope you’ll like the 2025 version and I’m glad to finally be back to writing!

Additionally, I want to announce that as soon as I will be done working and publishing the 2025 version of I'm not just your boy toy, I will be working on a new novel.

Based on my position right now, I should start officially working on it by March.

This new novel will mark my first new novel I've done since June 2024 and I hope that it will go well and I hope that especially the release of the 2025 version of I'm Not Just Your Boy Toy will set the tone for my next novel which may or may not resemble it. ;)

Also, I completely forgot to mention it on here since I don't really post but here is an announcement I had made a few weeks back.

I had previously mentioned that I would be making a reboot of my novel Running Away From Feelings but unfortunately it is postponed for the feasible future.

As I was working through the reboot, I had new ideas for plan and they are great but unfortunately for now the timing right now is not great and my interest in long-term commitment is low. Thus, for now, the reboot of Running Away from Feelings is postponed.

I hope you can all understand and don’t hate me for that.

I also apologize for giving this sense of hope with the return and reboot of Running Away from Feelings. The thing is on paper/in theory, all my plans should work but in the end, I’m a person with lots of ideas and I admit I have issues with commitment and constancy and I hate that as it is extremely unfair to readers but I can’t help it.

It seems like I’m Running away just like the characters from the novel. But really I realize that making my return for this year with Running Away from Feelings is not the answer.

To be honest for those who knew me from the start or have read some of my novels, you know that I keep it quite short but interesting in comparison to other stories and write and release chapters in a short time.

Now that is all for the portion of Running Away From Feelings.

More details about the new 2025 version of I’m Not Just Your Boy Toy:

-The original version will be kept on all platforms especially due to its legacy, my point for this novel is not to erase my past legacy, it’s for a new legacy.

-The title, story description, cover art and erotic content remain the same, even though there's slightly more erotic content in the 2025 version.

-For the first time the 2025 version will be the same on all platforms, with no more differences between versions, and it’ll be one unique one for all. I’m mostly doing so to reduce the workload of managing my novels on 3 different platforms and also to make things go faster.

-My point is that it’ll allow for new readers to find out I’m not just your boy toy, and enjoy it, also a new way to engage with readers. There’s a significant difference between me of 2023 who was new and 2025.

-And lastly, for the ton of readers that have already read the original version, I just want readers to think of it as you read it in its beginning

and now there’s an opportunity for even better.

The bottom line:

I am proud of my novel I’m not just your boy toy and everything I have accomplished, for me it’s truly a blessing that it's quite loved considering it was my first mature novel at the time and I was used to having next to no support.

And with the 2025 version, I hope that it kickstarts a new wonderful legacy and my return to writing and the community as I will be working on my new novel next.

Announcement! A new work is officially in the works and ready to be published soon!

Yes, for real this time, I have finally been working on something that works, low risk and something I know readers enjoy and that I’m comfortable in.

As I had mentioned previously I was going to start editing the entire novel of I’m not just your boy toy and I did.

Through I went a bit further, and as I went through the process of editing, I decided to make a new 2025 version of I’m Not Just Your Boy Toy.

This means this novel will be republished as a new novel, so the 2025 version will include the improvement in writing in chapters, a few new chapters or edited scenes, + the extra I mentioned.

I know it seems insane but I have been working on it for the past two weeks and the good news is that I’m already done editing at the half point of the novel and it has been doing well, way better than any project I have attempted so far since I’ve been on hiatus.

However, as I despairingly want new content to be pushed out and already half of the edited version is completed, I have decided to publish the 2025 version as it stands today.

By the middle part of the week next week, I will publish it for review and by then it will be available to read on all platforms as the new 2025 version of a separate novel.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. And even if it’s with my most successful novel that I make my return, I can’t wait to finally make my return for real!

Hi fellow readers,

I have announcement to make,

I have come to a conclusion that it is best with this novel and current situation that I will not continue where I left and instead I will make a new version of Running away from feelings as if it brand new (reboot), however nothing will change except the chapters themselves.

Good news unlike past reboot, it is not a full change, thus the new version will be made available as early as the week of January 20th, the date depends on the time it'll take for approval.

I will be taking all the already written chapters and modify its content and modify its structure so it can align with the new idea of this novel being at least 60-70 chapters long not including split chapters.

Additionally as mentioned, I have decided that it is best that the original version will no longer be available to be read as soon as the new version is available to read.

-New chapters will be published twice a week, specifically every Wednesdays and Saturdays, this way I respect the frequency of update readers appreciate best and have the chance and time to focus on writing the new chapters.

-Upon release the new version will include the two new parts of the prologue and will also include both parts of chapter 1.

-Unfortunately, for some readers, the new version will not include any erotic or 18+ content in the later part of the novel, instead I have another plan/way in mind to address this.

And side note, and yes for real I have already begun working on this new version, hence why my sudden silence, I waited for clarification.

More information has been posted on the current version of Running away from feelings.

I hope you will appreciate this new change even if it is less than ideal, it is the best fix I could come up with.

Hi, fellow readers,

I apologize for suddenly vanishing those past 3 months and taking an unexpected hiatus not only from my novels but from all social media platforms this time around too.

For those that don't know I am also a student, thus it limits my time to write significantly, however, those past few months have been out of the ordinary. It's been a few months that were far from great for me. It might as well be described as horrible. I've been dealing mental health issues and my studies have been extremely rough unlike usually.

But today I am delighted to announce that I make my return to writing and finally get to do what I enjoy doing.

Running Away From Feelings will return in the coming days (after Christmas day), in the meantime I have just released the new edited versions of all chapters, thus I highly recommend to read the novel from the beginning again as it has been a long time since the last update. I personally did it and it helped a lot to reconnect with the novel.

Thank you for the patience and for understanding,

-Lauren

After giving some thought about it, I have officially decided that Love Always Wins will be permanently on hiatus. This does not mean I no longer have any interest in this novel or that I am abandoning the novel completely, maybe someday or in a few years, I will pick it up.

For now, with my plans, continuing Love Always Wins would have been bad timing.

As you all know I plan to focus on my upcoming novel. I’ve already planned everything for my upcoming novels up to a year from now on and Love Always Wins is no longer in that plan.

Just to let you know, Christmas break is coming soon and I will be able to focus on my next novel that I can’t wait to write.

I promise you all will not be disappointed and will love my next novel.

Regardless, this mysterious upcoming novel is not that far from

now. Actually, the official announcement is coming very soon. ;)

As for Love Always Wins I will make an official announcement everywhere, including my socials most likely.

Oops, I spoke too soon, I ran out of time to complete Episode 7. So, Love always wins is returning next Tuesday and yes, its on Halloween day too, how cool is that?

Honestly, I hope to have a Halloween special being written for the novel but due to my partial hiatus related to my studies, it might not be possible.

Regardless, those that did read Love always wins before, I plan to change entirely the first 6 episodes as it no longer makes sense. It will help me get back to writing full episodes and this novel. So, I recommend to read the first 6 episodes on October 31st as a refresher before reading episode 7.
