Chapter 5: I read it ._. I've read all of it and the story is really well written and it's interesting. I realized I haven't commented since the first chapter which I believe is from me still going to school and preparing and taking final exams and AP and such so I was reading *cough*procrastinating*cough* and whenever that happens I some times forget to comment.

Also I'd like to say that you shouldn't have others' responses dictate how you want to handle something. In one of my stories I wrote an author's note about wanting more comments too but afterwards I felt worse than before, even after I got a lot of responses. The reason why I felt worse is because I thought back to when I first started writing fanfiction and when I first began to write it I just wrote it for the hell of it. Like I didn't care if I got comments or followers because I wrote stories 1) out of my own interest but mostly 2) it acted as my secret diary or a way for me to think of happy things since I was suffering by myself a lot when I began to write. When I got comments all of a sudden I believe that's where writing stories began to be dictated by others' responses. Eventually that was what caused me to burn out and go into a huge writer's block; I wasn't writing out of enjoyment anymore, I was writing because people expected me to. Er- sorry, didn't mean to basically put my life's story here =w=" but I'm just trying to give the message that you should write because you write because you like to write, you write to get some sort of message through whether it's seen by anyone or not, you write because you enjoy it and you know you enjoy it because you are willing to put in extra hard work for you to see the best result out of it. Of course the sad side to it is that some people will see it, some people won't just like how some people listen to JJCC and some people don't but groups like JJCC and Toppdogg, even NU'EST when they were at their lowest point, stayed together because that's what they like to do: sing, rap, dance, perform. Are they disheartened when feedback isn't given? Yes, but that doesn't stop them from pushing for the best because of their own interest.

The most obvious reason as to why I'm saying this is because I love this story, but I also want to say this because I hate it when people are forced to "like mainstream stuff" or "abandon" what they already like because I will always ask, "Do you really think you'll receive the best kind of happiness if you change because 'nobody' is with you?" I'm also trying to say that I'm one of those "nobodies" you're referring to. I'm here. Even though I may be silent some times or my voice is small or maybe because I'm the only one, I'm here. Whenever an author shares this kind of note, I start to worry that maybe they don't like writing in the first place, to which I say abandon the story, but you yourself has confirmed that you love this story and that you yourself are writing this because you want to give a message to the world. Maybe what I'm saying here won't help, maybe it will, I won't be offended or hurt because it didn't help because I at wording or giving advice or whatever, I just want to say screw whether humanity responds or not, don't be so insecure and do whatever the hell you want.

Chapter 2: Oh my, oh my, we're ending on a cliffhanger...?

Yongjin's perspective is such a joy to read... in the saddest sense possible, I guess. I love the observant voice you gave to him, the many unfair things that he notices and that he also forgives. He seems really resigned, but at the same time, he wants to enjoy what he can and to cling onto what hope he has. That mix of pessimism and optimism is really realistic, I think; most folks don't go into things with zero hope or with 100% blind optimism. This acknowledgement of his situation only makes that tiny sliver of hope more beautiful, admirable, worth fighting for.

I really love how you touch upon each member of the team. Gyumin's reluctant but noble leadership. You make a good point about how leaders often get the brunt of the scolding, even if they don't deserve it, and it's really worth applauding Gyumin's strength to speak up and take the backlash for things that were meant for the whole group. Hadon's despair here is so palpable, but the fact that he was still listening... I instantly thought "tsundere," haha~ Chanyul is such a sweetheart, and his unintended brushing of sore nerves was... very Chanyul indeed. I do feel awful for Joongji, though, both the fictional Joongji here and the real Joongji. He worked so hard, only to get laughed at, and even if he played it off, that had to be rough.

Sungwook's philosophizing is so much fun, haha. You're doing a great job with it. He really does seem like the sort of fellow to just say these things with a straight face, doesn't he? I would never have managed that spider thingy without collapsing into laughter. It's a bummer this quirky dude never got the attention he deserved, but hopefully, we will see more of him in coming years.

Good job, dear author!! Thank you again for writing this~!

Chapter 1: Thank you so much for writing something for this team. They honestly broke my heart, and the fact that they still smiled on stage and carried themselves with gusto is so admirable. I was really hoping more of them would be able to make it, especially my spider son. The way you write Yongjin is so earnest and perceptive, and I absolutely LOVE that title drop. There it is. Forget A rank, that was A+ rank.

Sungwook(?) is right; bugs are indeed much stronger than humans in many ways, and there is a lot to learn even from those at the bottom. I don't know how much of that mindset the real Sungwook had (sadly, his screen time was not A+ at all), but I am really glad for its inclusion in this fic.

Strong start, my friend. Best of luck with the future chapters!! I'll be keeping an eye on this one~

Chapter 1: Ooh seems super interesting so far ^~^
