Chapter 11: idk what it was exactly but this fic somehow really hit me and all the themes you explored about growing up and boredom and dissatisfaction and just that unrelenting shift from child to adult and the people that trip up wow it hit me deeply and i so love high school delinquents as well bc that roughness??? all the drama and conflict and yifan and the jungle analogy omfg. i really don't know but this fic gave me such strong emotions and the imagery was to me hazy but really striking like? the villagers under the sea and then chanyeols own story as the mayor and yuras story and the girl!!!!! that took the photo!!!!!! the snapshots you give of each individual life was just powerful and actually just all the complicated dynamics between the members of each family and it was hard for me to wrap my head around at first remembering each of the siblings but by the middle they all stood out so starkly to me and i am just rly emo because this fic is just somehow realistic but also fantastical and uh reality hurts. and so does this fic. this comment doesn't make sense but tldr this fic really got to me and i cried a little bit somehow bc it's not exactly sad, but? it is???? because life & reality is sad???? i don't know. thank you so much for writing this. chanxiu deserve the world.

Chapter 11: Woo this one is amazing . I love it. It's a little complicated at first parts. But gradually, it makes me feel warmth in my heart.

Chapter 10: I recently crave for Xiuyeol, and that's how I found this story.
I haven't read your other stories (but now I think I will), so I don't know if you always write like this, but I like the feeling of the story. I like how you use secondary characters to explain Minseok and Chanyeol and their relationship, I love the story of the village under the sea and how the kids relate it to their lives. I really like the description about Minseok as the shadow leader, and the subtlety of Chanyeol/Minseok. I enjoy reading this, thank you for sharing! c:

Chapter 11: Everything you write has a unique vibe and atmosphere to it and this is no exception. I love love love it. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Chapter 11: wow!!! definitely gonna read them!!

Chapter 8: The story telling was awesome! I loved that there were many ponts of view that all related to Minseok and Chanyeol's relationship. I was completely immersed in my reading and read that in one go, it was so good! Thank you for sharing this with us!

This story was just a work of art to me, that each chapter had me emotionally tied down. You're such a genius when revealing chanyeol's character as a maniac to others throughout the story but when he's really a lovesick, vulnerable admirerer of Minseok. I absolutely loved how you used the additional family characters as observers and foils to the two of them and Minseok's gradual realization of how special Chanyeol is to him had my heart in knots. The image of the ugliness in reality is so well written, vagueness of it is really appealing when you distribute it throughout the story. Such a great piece omg

Chapter 10: Author-nim can you please write a sequel, even if it's very small. Just for the readers to understand where Xiumin-shi and Chanyeol-shi are at this point (their relationship in the story after this ends). This story was really nicely written.

Chapter 10: i dont know if i am happy or sad that this story came to an end. i'm happy that minseok and chanyeol found each other as someone they needed and wanted, no matter how many people shun on them. it was beautiful the ending is not an end, life isnt a story after all :)
but i am so sad that this story ended. this became a dear of story for me. T-T
but it's okay. i'm okay. every story will end eventually. i want to tell you again, that i really really love your story :')

Chapter 10: Not bad not bad at all. Your story is really well written a few parts were a little lacking of details but its all cool. Other parts made up for it. I love how you tied their stories together. How the fictional one was mirrored slightly to the real one. Anywho great job authornim
