Chapter 26: This is worth the long wait! It was awesome, you write action so well. And Seulgi's surpirse kiss? If they weren't in a battlefield I'm sure they won't let go... I just hope Irene will be safe.

Chapter 26: Mad props to you again for getting this scene from the 6 versus 1 showdown commissioned. I love badass!Irene as much as the next person, but oh no my poor baeby. Someone please come back for her. Seulgi reuniting with her family and finding her brother still alive was really sweet. And Somi watching Eunji stand up to Leeteuk was heartwarming in its own way--here's one more good Empire soldier doing the right thing

Chapter 25: <span class='smalltext text--lighter'>Comment on <a href='/story/view/1294376/25'>Far-Off Hometown Pt 1</a></span>
Oh my lord...the CLIFFHANGER...Goddamn, it's not a nice cliffhanger either it's like one of those ones where if I'm bingeing a show and an episode ended like that, even if it was at 2 am I'd have to watch the next episode.

It will be interesting to see how Irene broaches the topic of the past with Wendy once she finally gets the chance and how Wendy will react. Will Irene tell the full truth of their relationship? Will Wendy freak out or be chill? I am excited to find out.

Also, I'm also at Seulgi's level of wanting to be hopeful about her parents but also looking at the harsh reality of the situation and it's not looking to be the greatest...but it would be nice for them to be alive...but I guess the Hero's Journey often contains suffering.

Thank you for an awesome story as always <3333333

I will forever look forward to your updates :))

Oh, and, Bokorene for the win hahahah

Chapter 25: first of all i realized that i forgot to leave a comment on the last chapter... for reasons unknown honestly bc i remember writing it. i probably closed the tab before sending or smth like the whole i am. EITHER WAY I was in an isolated place in the middle of the woods when this dropped and I almost killed myself to get signal to load the page so i could READ. and then I was like "better wait to go home before commenting bc we don't want it to get lost like last time...." so now I am here.

since the very beginning of the chapter I was feeling for seulgi so much :'< like how it's so noticeable how her mood dropped and how worried she is... (she really does wear her emotions on her sleeve, like Irene pointed out). the way she just runs off before anyone, and Irene following her closely, always trying to somehow console her even though she never practiced this kind of connection... i aM sO SaD.


I loved joy taking charge and Irene also giving directions to counter what she knew she would do if she was the one seizing the town... but still being aware joy would be the one who knew what to do best here. which lead to the overprotective Irene realizing that she can't do everything for everyone to keep them safe anymore. she can't stop Wendy from fighting to protect her anymore. also i loved how it was solji who dropped that bomb on her like!! (and I need to re-read everything to appreciate the exid girlies more now that I know them). and Wendy's flashback was great... my lil demon girl. magic is so deep in her that she uses it instinctively and doesn't even notice!!

but throughout the chapter there was this constant sense of dread... like everyone and everything gone, but no one dead where we could see, and a big bonfire in the middle of the square, burning up all the missing things...... what the hell is going on. but next chapter, we going FIGHT!!! doesn't feel so long since the last fight but i feel like this time something terrible is about to happen lmao. if that ending line indicates anything...

anyway thank u so much for this story as always and i will wait excitedly for the next chapter uwu

Chapter 25: "But like all well-wrought plans, it didn't survive first contact with the enemy."

...........AAAAAAA... orz
Gosh.. I'm already so worried right now. And the most worrying thing is that the Empire could take Wendy back again to mess things up. I'm in the same boat with Irene in that matter of concern. Wendy's power is just too precious and dangerous. Though yes Solji is right about Irene should let Wendy decide what she wants, but she still hasn't regained her memories yet, so it could lead to harm as well.

I wonder if they'd be able to do this successfully. It's like everytime there's something positive that occured, something worse happened :( poor them

It's a bit sad how Irene could /finally/ felt like she could relate to Seulgi after the latter experienced sorrowful things as well..
I hope they could depend on and help each other through this.

Thank you for not abandoning your fic (hehehe jk)
I'm always happy whenever I get notification for this story ^^

Chapter 25: I jumped when I saw this update. Poor Seulgi, hopefully her family is still alive or there will be hell to pay. Things are looking pretty bad for the good guys, can't wait to see how they'll get out of this ominous situation

Chapter 24: Go go airplane Somi! That was some rough landing and thank god she’s okay. Can she even strip the dead guy that fast before reinforcements arrive? She’ll be fine right? No point bringing her back from a supposed death just to have her be killed again amirite? Somi uses camouflage! It’s gonna be super effective!
The Emperor doesnt seem entirely evil../famous last words/ it seems like all the evil is just leeteuk’s doing. Idk i’m just guessing that the Emperor basically gave all power to leeteuk and now he’s running a show behind the Emperor’s back that’s completely different from the initial plan..hmmmmm
Eeeee that little seulrene flashback is so cute ><
Aaaah Wendy...Wendy wendy wendy...Seulgi is gonna think you kissed Irene while she was teaching you how to fly

Chapter 24: ...I think I have to play the game again lmao. I do remember Mobliz and Thamasa being very sad towns overall, so idk what to expect for Seulgi (actually, everyone) in the upcoming chapters... and also fearing whatever's gonna happen to Eunji now :( Are we getting the messenger pigeons?

Glad to see Somi's still alive btw. It's a nice chapter, gj

Chapter 24: This update is 5 flavors at once: long awaited, thrilling, twisty, funny, all underscored by Irene's heartbreak. Awww. This entire story has been so rich. Thank you.

Chapter 24: Mobliz oh no..
I guess I kinda already predicted that Mobliz would be attacked one day, but if it really happened and if Seulgi's family got hurt... sigh this is going to hurt. Hope it won't be that bad though ;-;

Idk I have my suspicion about the pigeon letter that Seulgi sent? She was being too naive by writing every single thing too honestly in that letter.

Poor Irene. She's feeling lost with Wendy forgetting about her.
But just like Moonbyul said, Irene should realize that she's not alone, that she could depend on other people too, and not carry all the burden herself.
I hope Wendy would regain her memories bit by bit as well. Even though it's not pretty.

Based on this chapter, Leeteuk seems to be starting his own agenda against the Emperor now. All hell breaks loose after this.

I was ecstatic when I saw the story update notification xD
Another exciting chapter. How I love to get lost in this universe lol

Thank you for the update!
