Gotta say, that ending was pretty satisfying. It was interesting how you changed some things during season 5. Maybe you should try writing some AUs where Mike reveals his disorder differently than in the show? It's crazy that in one of the first episodes they were being forced to reveal embarrassing information about themselves. It's no wonder Mike was so worried!

Just read chapter 23, and I felt the need to point something out. When Mike and Cameron were looking for the others in the mine, Cam was half unconscious from the toxic waste exposure, so Mike was carrying him on his back. Cameron weighs about 90 pounds, but add to that two 50 pound backpacks full of dynamite. So that's just shy of 200 pounds total, and Mike was RUNNING while carrying all that. Later when Cam and Zoey are struggling with moving, they get attacked by a mutant gofer. Mike gets in front of them and holds the thing back, while keeping it's jaws open. Even if it was only for a short time, this really shows how strong he is. It's still his body, even if it's him in control instead of Vito. Everyone focuses on Brick this episode, which I won't argue with, the guy was a bad-ass, even if it was just this once, but the reality is Mike has more muscle than it appears. That gofer was the size of a small car!

So I think if Mike HAD fought that jock, he would have kicked his butt. If nothing else, he's a fighter.

Okay, I'm going to finish the rest of this amazing story now! I just felt the need to point that out before I forget.

Worth every letter. One of the realest things I've ever read.

Okay, here I am, ten chapters in and I wanna cry. Poor Mike has been through a lot and I also feel so sorry for Mal as well. They are portrayed beautifully. When Mike lashed out after his diagnosis, I felt pangs.

This heavy subject matter makes me want to curl up because it really hits close to home. The raw emotion is so surreal and I can feel everything poor Mike is feeling. You have a real talent for conveying the emotions of the characters and good at building up the plot. I can't wait to continue reading on this.

The story was long, emotional, and damn worth the journey.

This story is really amazing! I was just browsing through the site looking for a decent fanfiction and when I saw this one I thought it was too long, but I forced myself to read it anyway and I don't regret it one bit. I'm a really emotional person so this has been an emotional read but certainly one of my favorite stories that I've read. It was truly wonderful. Thanks for writing it!

PLEASE DO MORE!1

I don't know why it took me so long to write a review. I don't know if it's because I couldn't find the time or the words to say. But let me begin by saying that I first read this story a while ago. I was there from the beginning to the end. I'd wake up to find that you'd posted a new chapter, and it made my day each time. I've read hundreds of Total Drama fanfictions. I can say without a doubt that this one is my favorite by far. This is such an amazing work, and I can say it's my favorite of all time and not just of Total Drama. This story perfectly illustrates the passion a good author should have. While you didn't completely stick to the storyline, I definitely prefer this version. There's just something about it that feels more in tune to the characters, primarily the changes in All Stars. Mike is my favorite character, and therefore, he is the one I mainly stick to when it comes to these stories, and I've read many over the years. Yours is definitely the one with the best backstory. It works best with his character while continuing to be entertaining all the same, a skill you've mastered with ease. I find myself constantly coming back to this story, and I recently read the whole thing in one go after not reading it for months. I felt inclined to post a review because this is a work that definitely deserves it. You have a magnificent talent, and this story embodies that.

I had the pleasure of reading this epic story all day. I could've catched up on my English homework but I ignored it so I could finish this before the day ended. I definitely don't regret it right now. I'm not sure about later when I'm working on my assignment at 11 o'clock.

To be honest, I felt that the story had a hard and clumsy start. Especially when Mike couldn't really understand anything that he saw and experienced. I had to remind myself that he was only six and it would pick up the speed soon. I'm glad that I convinced myself to stay with the story. I'm impressed and that's pretty hard actually. I was more impressed about how detailed the story was about Mike's MPD. And how he interacted with his family and peers about his disorder and I really enjoyed his process of growing into his disorder and succeed. The ending was perfect.

I may not have a mental disorder but I am deaf. And I know the feeling of being different. and the harsh fact that I couldn't do anything about my condition.

Funny though, I did find many friends and my own "family" in theater. I found many similarities between me and Mike, which is oddly comforting to be honest.

Thank you for completing this story so we all can enjoy your work! I probably will read this again this weekend when I am free (hopeful).

With much love,
Soundless

This has easily become my all time favorite fanfiction. You have an amazing writing style, and I will be completely honest - you moved me to tears on more than one occasion. You write like a professional, and I just couldn't stop reading this story. I got antsy whenever I was doing anything else with my hands simply because I wanted to sit down and read this. I would read one to five chapters a day, that's how much I loved it. Thank you for writing such an amazing, heartwarming, emotion filled story. You gave us something to look forward to reading with every update, and while I wasn't amongst those waiting for updates, I still was excited to lay in bed every morning after waking up and just read. The same applies whenever I was laying down for the night, wanting to finish the chapter I was on.

This was filled with so many positive messages, and you did an amazing job portraying the characters to the point I actually was reading their dialogue in their respective voices. To that, I must applaud you! The characters were well written and described, and you paid amazing attention to detail. Keep up the good work! Sorry for rambling. :)

I've never been a great fan of Mike, but this story made me love him. It's realistic and well written, a true masterpiece of this fandom. Thanks for having written it.

Oh my gosh! The feels are real! I love this story! Even if no one had even heard of Total Drama, they would understand the characters with deeper meaning then before! This is my favorite fanfiction and I be you could write a book if you wanted to! Thanks for the great read!

This is the best Mike-Lore Story I've ever read. I nearly cried SO many times. XD Whelp, I'll be in the corner contemplating life if ya need me. :D Your stories rock

I'm like seriously crying right now. I read every single word in both part one and two. I'm crying because this story touched me. It even made me research MPD and cotards syndrome. I researched cotard from part one when mal was in the mental hospital. Anyway I'm also crying because its over. It was amazing and I wish it was made into a show. Took me a week and a half but it was worth it to read this story.

Omg I have been waiting for violet's return. I knew she would be coming back. I loved it. When I right there is no way I'm patient enough to wait for 20 chapters before bringing her back. I'll be to anxious. This is one of the best stories I EVER read. I read every single word in this serious so far. Every single word. Took me a week and I still got the epilogue to read of part 2.
