== Regular User Registration Process

=== Authors: **Registered Regular User**
A new user registers on the platform as a regular user, gaining the ability to read stories, leave comments, likes, and manage their reading list.

**1.** The user selects the option to register as a regular user on the platform.

**2.** The system displays a registration form requesting username, email, name, surname, and password.


**3.** The user fills in and submits the registration form.

**4.** The system inserts a new record into the USERS table. 
{{{#!sql
INSERT INTO USERS (username, email, name, surname, password)
VALUES ('sara_reader', 'sara.books@gmail.com', 'Sara', 'Petkovska', '$2a$10$hashedpassword004');
}}}

**5.**   The system registers the user as a regular user in the REGULAR_USER table using the generated user_id.

{{{#!sql
INSERT INTO REGULAR_USER (user_id)
VALUES (4);
}}}

**6.** The system confirms successful registration and redirects the user to the platform homepage.
