Man, reading this now makes me feel a lot worse about deleting my save data. I had Tomodachi Life for 4 years, and decided to delete my data in 2018 (reason: My islanders were mostly video game and TV characters, and I want to have more people from my real life there (even though there aren't that many real life people in my life)). It took me a lot of thought to come to the decision of deleting everything, but I immediately regretted doing it. I haven't really played the game anymore since I deleted it because of my guilt and lose of what I took so much time to develop before.

Anyways, I first read this on the published date and decided to read it again today. It's still good.

Aaaaaand now I feel guilty about ever erasing save data. ...yay...

Seriously though, this got me right in the feels. Very well written, well done!

Wow. I feel way too much empathy for the Mii. I actually had just deleted my one of my islands. This makes me want to cry tbh.. Go check out my story! Kinda like yours, but not really.

Oh. My. Goodness. I honestly just scrolled through Tomodachi life fanfics because I was utterly bored, but this one plesently surprised me, and almost changed the way I think about the game. I'll admitted I randomly delete characters sometimes, and some dialouge the Miis say can... sound a little existential, so this was AWESOME. :)

This is excellent! So dark, so depressing, I like it. The ending sentence made this all the more fantastic.

I love this game, but I only now realize what I've done... My very first island is gone forever now... I don't want to make that mistake again! ToT

I was considering on deleting my file because I was getting bored and didn't like some characters, but then I remembered this story and had an internal debate on what to do for hours. I didn't delete it, just did some minor editing here and there. This is so, Idk what to call it. Dark? Deep? Awestriking? Idk. But it is an amazing story for sure!

O_O
...
I have zero words.
This is... so dark, yet so perfect...
I'm not sure whether to applaud, or feel regret, or...
Not to mention that when I did erase my game for the first time, my look-alike said, more or less,
"Even though we're gone, we'll have memories that will last forever!"
*shivers* I... I think I need to give hundreds of gifts for my islanders now.
This was a beautiful story. Good work, mate. I hope you have a good day.

I found this story by complete accident, and let me just say it's a shame you posted this in a dead archive because this is really good. I'm a sucker for meta stuff, especially stories that really explore the relationship between the fourth wall and its inhabitants and how it affects their personal lifestyles. Seeing the Mii struggle to live with this burden over his/her head is very compelling. Exploring the relationship between a bored player and an aware character was also interesting; what may seem relativley mundane and tame to us seems sadistic and cruel to those on the other side of the fourth wall. This is a story that deserves more attention! Keep up the good work.

Great story! Love this!
Kind of sad but really good. I hope you write more in the future!
Now I got a good idea...
Keep writing!

Woah. That felt rather intense for some reason. Now i feel bad about deleting my own island, like, REALLY BAD. Nice story, but it's the ending that stabs me through the heart. It literally broke my heart...

Holy cow, that is so sad!

Oooh, very existential stuff. Almost a little creepy when you consider such a question from the perspective of the Mii. That's some pretty emotional writing. A great little read.

This made me shower my all my miis with gifts. Thank you for this in-depth analysis of the game. It made me pity them even though they are only fictional, I treat them as if they are my responsibility sometimes lol

Oh holy daleks, should I go play Tomodachi Life again? I haven't played in two months.. But still, I really enjoyed reading this. I applaud you.
