And this was Him ∞

Description

Nobody ever understands why people are the way they are. There were problems that no one knew how to solve, then there were the ones that nobody even knew were there. So as Lee Sungyeol falls out of love, these people are watching themselves fall out of life.

 

Almost-Love stories of seven people — with an arrival of someone only half-alive — they find themselves connected to each other in every unlikely way possible.

“Yeah, he realised he would never understand how the world worked. Or if it was working at all. Maybe it was broken? If he was to be honest, all past-infatuations and idiocy aside, he would say that the world must really be broken, because then, ‘how else could all the bad guys get away?’”

 

 

 

Foreword

“Love or Death? We are not so different. Except Death is sometimes kinder.”
— Cupid

Author-nim;
Such a great story, very well ploted and realised...I think you do a really good job, like not only write about the main character, but also the environment, the little yet important details, the side characters... it made the story so complex yet very well likeable, not only the typical angst story or the fluffy one, but a very realistic novel. Also, a very good help was the "play by play", all the details that went off to me were there and also they were pretty important to understand the whole thing. Thanks for the help!, and hope you continue writting such a great novel! : )
PS. Don´t apologize for your work, ...if the readers doesn´t like it, then that´s their own problem. This is YOUR story, this don´t need to be changed. Keep those readers away from your mind, I always will support you ^^.

Hi author nim, new reader here :) let me just start off by saying this, I really do like this story :) I just started reading it yesterday and finished it today XD I like the structure of the story, and the characters in it, albeit it can get abit confusing at times, so I really appreciate the play by play. I like your characters, and by that I mean everyone, as there is a depth to them that make them realistic, which is sth that is hard to find on AFF. Admittedly, I stumbled on this story by browsing the myungyeol tag, so I might have set certain unfair expectations for your fic. Add that to the fact that i'm not a big fan of overwhelming angst, I found at, a certain point in time, a tad hard to continue reading this fic. I simply couldn't stand how no one was trying to help Sungyeol, and even though Myungsin does, she can't possible carry the weight of his world all by herself. But i'm glad that I got through that phase :D i'm not a close reader so I can't appreciate every detail that you've inserted, but I like how each character around Sungyeol slowly unravels, and we see them not just as a one dimentional "evil" or "unmoving" person, but we see the thoughts and pasts that motivate their certain actions. And I do like how you spend several chapters on each significant incident, rather than just plow through and get to the end. All in all, I just want to say that really, no author should apologise for their work. Should any readers be disappointed, that's simply because they have preset expectation for the story. While healthy criticism is useful, those that are obvious no help can just be ignored. I can only imagine how emotionally stressful it must be to have your own work criticised by people who do not appreciate the value of it. To end off, author nim, hwaiting!!! I might have been here for myungyeol, but i'm staying because of infinite(if you get what I mean XD) I'll be patiently waiting for the next update ^^

Chapter 30: Hello there^^
Today I was going through my subscriptions and saw this fic, and then I thougth, for how long hasn't Jin updated? And I came here, and read this announcement and remembered everything... and I just want to say that I miss this fic a lot. I think, I'm not sure if I got the chance to tell you before, but I think that you are an amazing writter. I was very intrigued from chapter one, I've been following this story since the first few chapters I think. And I don't know if I've ever seen a fanfiction that is so amazingly thought through. I mean, all the connections between the characters, the deepness of their personalities, how they act, it all seems so real... and I think you deserve to know. Like, those people who were unsatisfied with this are totally inept in literature, to put it in simple words. They seriously deserve a kick in the head, to put some sense into their brains.
The point is, don't get discouraged by them, and please find time again for this... not because of us, but because this story deserves an ending, and you must always finish what you've started in a good way, proud of it. So, fighting! I hope to know about this soon,
Good luck and good bye!

Chapter 30: Hello,
I've recently just found this fic. Just wanna say I really love the story and also the characterisation of every person in this story. Don't let the bad comments get to you! I think it's those small things that happens to every character in a story that makes up a good story. So I really appreciate how everyone had their fair share of the story and actually helped build up the entire story.

P.S I've read the article on Sunggyu which you have posted the link on on the previous chapter. And ohmygosh that was the very reason I fell in love with Sunggyu in the first place. I guess it helped that I knew him as Kim Sunggyu before Infinite's Sunggyu. And yes he deserves so much more.

Also, I really love how Hoya was the one who saved him that time in your story. I've always felt that that's how they were, despite all that Hoya-is-superior-over-Sunggyu teasing stuff they do on variety shows.

Thank you for writing this wonderful story.

At first I was confused why you tagged Sunggyu in this fic. But then you made him fal in love with Myungsin.
This story is one of the best angst I've ever read I wish more people will read and upvote! Your story deserves to be featured!! ><

Chapter 30: Your story is soo novel-like and its also quite deep that I don't think I can understand a chapter without rereading the previous chapters. I can't write a 'constructive critic' or whatever that is, just, I really like this story.

How you made the plot so realistic and how ed up Dongwoo actually is, like, this is how the world works. Fake people are all around.

Well, the point is I really like this story and I hope you will update soon!!

Chapter 30: I am sorry you feel this way , Author! And I apologies on behalf of the people who wrote hurtful comments (although I can't grasp their logic. If you don't like how a fic is going, then, by all means leave! No one is forcing you to read. But dont bash the Author)

That being said. I really really love your story. It's one of my favorites on AFF.
You put so much effort and thought into it and all the characters have depth and I'm amazed how they all are tied up together in a way.
AND I LOVE MYUNGSIN SO MUCH I'D INFLICT PHYSICAL HARM ON ANYONE WHO INSULT HER CHARACTER! Haha jk.

QLastly, Author-nim, this fic is a masterpiece and don't you ever let anyone make you believe other than that. Fighting~ :)
