Chapter 20: Wow i was a bit shocked that theres romance between wendy and irene! I thought shes protecting wendy cuz of like sister love vibe!!
Im torn between wenrene and seulrene but seriously if i were to choose based on their character i will choose seulrene ! Irene look more like human with seulgi,she feels something beyond her own character and she care about other people in general because of what seulgi made her feel, meanwhile wenrene even if they fit because of their super power “ice and fire” irene become monster inorder to protect wendy (she killed innocent family esp the kid just to protect wendy) which is personally not a good kind of love dont ya think?

So for this story i will give my points to SEULRENE!
Boko,seulgi and irene should be the end game! Haha

Chapter 20: Oh ma god - update!!! *insert happy jig here*
Okay so I love seeing Irene in these flashbacks before she met up with the returners - ughhh you portray this character so well jesus christ. Just, the part in the Mayor's room was so amazingly executed (pun not intended) - the juxtaposition between the townsfolk and the horror of what was happening in the room was incredible. There just aren't enough words of praise for that scene. It was perfect.
On a lighter note though I WAS SO SHOOK BY THE ROMANCE BETWEEN WENDY AND IRENE - I don't even know why (because obvs 'fire and ice' 'they complete each other' 'they balance each other' - I get it and I am always so down for those kind of relationships) but I, for some reason, just thought it was more of a sisterly love between them so for a sec I had to rewire my brain so it wasn't weird to read lol. But from the way you write I totally get in that moment Irene needed support and Wendy is so good at doing that and it was super romantic and I AM NOW TORN (why would you do this to me lol) because who feels better for Irene???? Wendy or Seulgi....I ship them both....but I kind of feel like, even though Seulgi hasn't got powers like Wendy, she is less scared of Irene? Does that make sense...meh tbh #bokorene all the way for sure...they have a deep understanding of each other that can never be rivalled. :))))))))) Side note....if jealousy is on the horizon I will be low-key high-key very up for that heheheh
I also love the point of view of Eunji - building up why she is being so loyal to Irene in the present and I really like her character too :) like, that ending though - she blatantly actually cares about Irene which, I don't know, she doesn't need to do that but, yeah, I love their little friendship.
Okay lol this was a very large essay so I will stop here. But, ever the fan, I can't wait for the next update :)))))

Chapter 20: I must be stupid because I don't know where the slave crown came from and how Leeteuk is able to use it on Wendy freely? Like, is Wendy not fighting back so she wouldn't use the crown? Or is Leeteuk just that strong? Or Wendy being threatened?

Chapter 20: Two things that can be concluded from this intermission:
1. Leeteuk needs a high five. On the face. With a chair. Bonus points if the chair breaks on impact.
2. Wendy and Irene are two precious bbys that must be protected (not sure if from leeteuk, the world or from themselves)

And..lol i thought eunji was gonna walk in on them /wipes sweat/ thank god she didnt

Chapter 19: Man, this chapter is so sad, especially for Irene, and a little for Heechul too.
Joy at the end... Still finding some joy in life xD

Chapter 17: Boko! I swear having Boko makes this story so fun! Didn't expect him to really attack Seulgi xP
Irene being afraid of Seulgi... That's some deep feelings there.

Chapter 19: Okay so I read this in one sitting and I am officially in love with this. Seriously. This...is...amazing. Your characterisation of everyone is SO on point and the flashbacks for Irene were so sad but so necessary - it really built her up as a character and I love how we have little mysteries surrounding the characters still (we have so much more to learn from them and I am SO READY) like who Yeri lost, what is up with Moonbyul's pensive nature (a certain someone might turn up??or be the one that got away) why seulgi is really strong (but I assume that is something to do with her 'strength level' being really high?). I also love (I mean there isn't really one bit I didn't love but...) Irene and Seulgi's relationship in this and how understanding and patient Seulgi is with Irene. It is so nice to see her having such wonderful support after all those years of trying to stand on her own with no one to protect her. You have done an awesome job at bringing the final fantasy world to life, I LOVE IT! Ughh, you are super talented and I AM SO EXCITED for the next acts!!!
Also, am I right in thinking that Leeteuk is based on Kefka? I like the way you seem to be going for a more sympathetic bad guy...they are much more interesting to read. :)))))
I am legit going to re-read this now because I just liked it so much...anyway...you are definitely going to see me start appearing in the comments section of all of your stories probably saying how much I enjoy them

Chapter 19: Wait.

End Act I?

HOW MANY ARE THERE I'M READY FOR SOME LONG READING. I am. Prepared. Hit me with those chapters y e s.

Okay, also - the magic chilly lady is Irene and Irene is she? What. Wow so I guess Wendy is, like, the super hot magic thingy. (bc I don't know the gender, okay?) That's pretty cool. i'm actually not one-hundred percent on what's happening right now, but as far as I can process, Leeteuk is predictably being a , we had some mildly angsty gay wenrene ._. and Heechul knows a lot of but he's kind of flaky... but kind of an okay person...?

And Yeri's angry and everybody's a mess but the mess is gonna climb into flying metal thingies and, to some extent, kick a little bit of . Or a lot. Or none at all. This is highly debatable. What fun.

Chapter 19: “How hard can it be?” Thank god it didnt turn out to be one of those famous last words cases..or will it? Hmmm
I’m surprised Heechul hasnt gone mad that his life’s work just went pooof and disappeared, not to mention his lab went into chaos. Or is he already half way there?
Leeteuk is exp001?

Chapter 18: Solji the mom lolol flashback to all the stories i've heard about her from you to date XD
question! "she's a part of you now." <--- what does this mean? did heechul use her dna samples or something and created some kind of clone? ya know? like Wolverine and X-23. but not gonna lie..an Irene clone would be so cool but also so not good for the gang cz then they'd have to deal with another Irene which..ya know is not gonna be pretty. (but i think an irene clone would also be equally pretty XDD)

Chapter 18: Blue lady in a tank made me think of The Shape of Water.

Honestly I love how Joy almost-died-but-then-she-didn't because the feelings, you know? - oh no! She fell! ! Death! Yikes! - and then - wait, no maybe she's not gonna die, go get your girl, Yeri - and then back to - ! It doesn't work! Death! - and then - YES, SAVE YOUR GIRL, KIM ING YERIM AND HIT HER UP, TOO - and now I'm going to treasure that

brief



JoyRi moment in my heart for the rest of my days.

(the whole story is so good but, you know, we all just harp on the actual ship moments because we're deprived leeches. oh well. may this messy fandom bless your soul, damn it)

Chapter 17: This is...

... can we please have a bokorene tag? Can that be a thing? He's actually like a protective boyfriend and I'm just hhhhhhh

Uh, is the parachute big enough for the both of them? Or is Seulgi gonna have to cushion Irene's fall? ;) oh boy I really just did make that joke didn't I wow

I mean, I'm pretty much just yelling now cause we got some ing relationship progression and all that up in here and I'll let you know that it's very. Much. Appreciated. Yes indeed

Irene raging around about her emotional issues in the coat is s u c h a mood. Seriously I get vibes of, I don't know, a highly mentally developed but very much socially inept five year old and it's just spectacular I mean, whoop - what a character.

on a side note this is great, only as expected (lol no pressure tho)
