so.... besides the obvious stolen dialogue, our stories both coincidentally have

— a ravenclaw head girl mc who is the youngest sibling of a renowned wizarding family trying to make a name for herself and values academic success greatly (both introductions are literally in the library as well)

— a trio of friends consisting of said mc, a quick-witted, sarcastic best friend (in the new version her name is nasrin too... nasrin.. nadya... whatever) and another best friend who is pureblood, less intense, more bubbly. they also have the same character designs which, again, wouldn't be weird if not for everything else.

— in the old version, jolie even added a nice little detail that nadya's plagiarized counterpart, parvati/nasrin, previously had a crush on tom riddle but aludes to her actually being gay.

this has been edited in the new version to give this line to colette's counterpart instead and just says she had a crush on tom — the liking girls part has been cut out. they're just no longer gay ig. tfw your token gay character is too reminiscent of the story you plagiarized so you have to revoke her lesbian card. nadya and colette sweetie i'm so sorry

— tom riddle taking notice of mc and bringing her to his private library where she finds mythological and religious books. in paper confines: celtic folklore and catholic rhymes (+ other biblical themes), in jolie's fic: greek myths (+ a warning at the beginning of her book for religious themes, so i assume there will be more)

and more i probably couldn't be asked to ss because i think this is damning enough.

@iovekilling just take the fic down and keep it down instead of making these slight changes. you have 4k followers and FIFTY-ONE more books you could be writing instead. can you just let this one go ???? i know the plot and characters are compelling and i appreciate the compliment but you can just read mine. it's free!
