Chapter 43: A gem, truly! The universe is very well detailed, the characters are consistent, deep and naturally progressing within the story. This will definitely make it to my list of stories to read again and again.
I especially appreciate the difference between the nations. And how those differences are addressed.
I am curious to what is the base for the fae language. I may try to compare it to some of the human or fictional languages to quench my curiosity.
My only confusion lays with what happened to Dahyun's family. Maybe I missed it somewhere in the text. But I did not catch why they would not be able to make it to the "court" scene at the end.
But it is a minor detail, which may or may not be explained in my second read-through :)

Chapter 43: I finally end this story. Wow, that was a journey, a long one.
I have so much to praise about the writing and development but I can't put it on the right words.
Just know that you make a excellent job here, author-nim. Even though I came only for the "saidahmo" tag (lol) I stay for the universe that is showing here.
I would love to read more about TWICE in that universe, such as Dahyun finally having some happiness after all the pain she came through. But if we don't have more of this world, it's ok. This fanfic worth every secon I spend reading.

Again, thank you so much for writing this, author-nim. Stay healthy!💜

Chapter 43: Hi! I am not sure if I ever left comments here before, but now I feel more at ease doing so. It took me three times to read the story fully to grasp what I needed. The first time I was going through it, confusion was dominating, I had a great deal of questions circulating in my head. It was hard to grasp the flow of the events and so I was struggling to put the pieces together. Characters conversation sometimes were bundled and I misplaced them many times. It brought more disappointment throughout my reading journey. But I kept going at it despite those feelings I had.

What attracted me in the story was the new concept of fantasy you have introduced, though initially when I came it was for Dahyun main rule in it, but I grew more interest and anticipation for her struggle/dilemma when it came to acting on emotions. It was ongoing at the time, and when I finally read the end, I felt more lacking and dissatisfaction surged mostly.



I took a good break until I decided to come again and revisit the story. This second attempt filled so many holes I initially had in me. The grasp on the reasons that lead to such events were much clearer and I had finally connected the dots to form a good flow of events. And even though I had some questions answered, there was a portion that was left scattered and perhaps I was hesitant to search through it. The emotional part of the story was a challenge on itself, but it's needed to be grasped and understood. A part of me ignored the fact I couldn't translate those emotions been discussed throughout the chapters, and when I reached the end again. I still felt a great deal of discomfort as I knew the emotional part is what's the story is mostly made of. I was convincing myself that it wasn't needed to have full clarity on and I would just be okay without it.



It took me a long while until I decided to come back. I was determined to not miss anything this time and make sure to make effort on the emotional part specifically while reading. I still carried a desire to skim through it, but I was able to stop myself from doing so. And to do that, I created a note dedicated to colors and their correlations to the emotional world. Even included a scent list. The results were shocking, though it shouldn't have been because I knew how that contributed to my confusions. I came to appreciate the story even more after this. You had me thinking and immersing myself on how emotions actually worked. Throughout my break time between chapters, I sat down and thought through all decisions that been made, specifically one's by Dahyun. It had me think that I could be just as lacking as her, specially when it came to the reactions she witnesses based on emotions felt in certain events for certain people. Another part of me couldn't help but see it fit so well to be lacking. As if it carries much simpler answers than those that carries more questions in it then resolution. But the complications been presented showed how being in such state is wrong in itself, specially if you knew how the others actually felt and will feel depending your responds.

The wording in the story was nothing I ever read in fictions but it made sense for it to be that way. Can you believe that your work has built a certain amount of calm within me? Not that I never had it, but this gave me more reasons to reconsider and backtrack my emotional responds. So many topics been discussed here and emotions been fully explored through the dialogues. It's been a worthy journey that I would gladly go down through it again, and I will.



I would like to thank you for what you have gave us and introduced. It was a much appreciated knowledge to imagine and feel through those characters. Being able to present it alone is enough to have me carry so much respect for you. While indeed some of us comes for the pairing, but mostly I get more invested when it touches real life struggles. Yours was one to open many eyes on how really emotions works and what kind of questions and consequences it carries and arises. For that, you have my deep gratitude!

Chapter 2: Oh? Is someone behind Dubu?

Chapter 43: So good loved every second

Chapter 30: This is so good I was so happy to see the completed version here when I was waiting on Ao3

Chapter 43: I don't usually read fantasy stories, but this was absolutely amazing. Really loved the plot flow and portrayal of characters in this!

Author did you see Dahyun's MBTI test result ? It matches so well with the way you decided to portrait her in this story, it is amazing.

Chapter 43: I got to admit at first I was here for Saidahmo but as the story progressed my mind started to come here for the plot and writing. This story was like something I needed in my life. I don’t know why but it was. So thank you so much for writing this. I can go on forever talking about this book but I will keep you from my emotions haha Anyways I personally love how you ended this because it’s not a perfect ending for them but it’s the most realistic ending I’ve seen. Meaning the characters had their ups and downs and they still had problems but like in real life they figured some out but some will still take time. Wow I at expressing myself and writing haha I’m glad you left the chapter like this!

Chapter 42: Surprisingly I get where Dahyun is getting at and if she did kill Rila and Yrest then that would’ve probably been the ending point for her. So I’m glad she didn’t do anything.
