i honestly didn't expect much from this based solely on the fact that it was written in second person. HOWEVER, once i worked my way through it and figured out the premise, i was pretty damn impressed. the author's note isn't lying when it says the author took risks, and i think the story turned out really well. some might not appreciate this, but i think it's interesting to compare this fic to #3, another experimental fic which, in my opinion, did not pull off its risks so successfully. in #3 i described the points of experimentation as jarring and distracting, but in this fic i'd say the risks were only jarring at the very beginning. the story takes a couple read-throughs to completely understand, and perhaps that confusion could have been cleared up by choosing a third person pov so you understood more quickly that the subject of each part was a different person (mir first, then thunder, then joon, then g.o and lastly seungho). but this is a fic i would agree is worth the read because it took risks and pulled it off.

(the use of stage names bothered me slightly, ngl, but that is a personal preference)

I really like this fic! It fleshed out the original so much, and the ending was almost unbearably painful but I think it suited the fic perfectly. ia about the use of stage names though.

#18, key-centric

was it really necessary to say, "I was confused as fuck, therefore, this remix is also confused as fuck ._." in the author's note? really?

the unusual use of first person was interesting, definitely, as was the way the fic was written as if kibum was talking to jinki the entire time. another risky stylistic choice, and while i don't think it worked as well as #17, i can't say the author didn't pull it off. i think what i didn't enjoy most was the story. the development was fast and strange. i think it could have benefited from some serious fleshing out. the story had so much potential for creepiness and suspense and instead it fell flat, left no impact.

i did enjoy the author's writing style. the phrasing was unique and interesting in a lot of places and felt like it had a distinct voice.
