Yeeeeees! Also, the authors note was hilarious.

Great and VERY catharhic. Though I don't kill anyone in this game (except Toriel and one other monster, and even then I quit the game before this stick), I always hated monsterkind hypocrisy. Your fic is written for me like a vindication.

I like how you interpret the genocide run.

Nice use of multiverse

Chapter 3 is... weird. It doesn't look like it fits into the previous two chapters, which do look connected. Is it a separate story? Is that the Frisk new Frisk after the Frisk from chapter 1 moved on to a different timeline? He reacts in horror to Chara having gone Genocide, which suggests that it wasn't THAT Frisk, who's second run was a murderfest. First chapter suggested that Frisk would forget the actions after the True Reset to leave a new, fresh Frisk there instead, with a Sans who knew the consequences of their actions.
I could point out more inconsistencies, but this feels very separate from the first chapters.

"Frisk slowly grinned, wider than should be possible. "Chara, do you know what this means?"
Chara perked up at his giddy tone, wondering what was going through his head now. "That we can interact more... directly?" She grinned, perhaps a bit mischievously."

Frisk wasn't the one to *FLIRT? What madness is this!?

The problem is that with the removal of the player, we have to acknowledge that Frisk is still a child-one with power who can undo their death as many times as it should occur, sure, but a child nonetheless-and is being held to unrealistic expectations to discover exactly what is needed to spare each monster that made the conscious and willful decision to try to murder them all while trying to NOT be murdered and still experiencing said murder. The entirety of the game is putting everything on a child-life and death, time powers, decisions-all while judging the child for what they may do in self defense because of the perception that they are obligated to make the "right" decision for the people trying to murder them and steal their soul to destroy everything they'd ever known and loved. So perhaps the actions of the monsters in order to be free is understandable, but it is still wholly one-sided relationship. That kind of makes me think...

It's nice that Frisk was willing to forgive and do the "right" thing, but that still doesn't say much for Frisk seeing the monsters as "friends" or "comrades" so much as people to be "saved". Hmm...I think I'm gonna write something about that.

All in all, I do like your story and the thought it provokes. It's a nice change from the black and white perceptions that a lot of other stories have. Where Frisk is either a genocidal maniac or is somehow corrupted or controlled by Chara. Very few people actually look in depth into what would legitimately cause a child to do such things (y'know...besides having the all-controlling player involved), so it's nice to see someone actually look into the rationale behind it. Good job.

That is a very delving question that you are asking us. Me. I would not want the power. Couldn't bare the thought of even being near it, simply because of its potentially universe-level catastrophic implications. Such power can only truly be wielded if the entity has full control of its power, and full control of their uncompromised character. But, for the sake of the question, I will answer.

Under my personal beliefs, I SHOULD help those who can't help themselves. I understand the plights of those less fortunate than myself, but I cannot empathize because of our likely different paths up to this point. I should not have to feel responsible for these people, because I choose to help them. When one chooses to do something they want, they are likely to remain consistent with their original views.

If my road were as difficult as Frisk's, and I experienced the grave consequences of the path of justice (revenge), then I would eventually see myself change. Perhaps not immediately, but such mistakes would shape me for the better.

My answer is somewhat difficult to understand, I know; I can't quite find a way to word it correctly. I hope that my answer is to your liking. Also, thanks for the continuation!

Can't say I disagree with you. Truthfully, I've felt this way about the game for a long while now, it's just that everyone harps so much on the "evil human, good monsters" angle and all the Sans angst that they forget or outright ignore that the monsters DO kill you without regret and had happily murdered 6 other kids before you as well, and that Sans does pretty much nothing to actually uphold his promise other than NOT kill you (which is a kind of irony that he makes the death threat to you in the pacifist timeline but actually expresses the wish to be friends in genocide...go figure). Not to mention the whole "stealing human souls" bit and forcing them to remain trapped in jars past their deaths, unable to do anything but sit there as they are experimented on and kept like trophies to be used to destroy everyone and everything they'd ever known and loved. I liked how you pointed that out, by the way.

So yeah, kudos to you. It was an interesting take on it, but does explain why Frisk would want to kill all the monsters. We come to care about the monsters because we learn about them, but at no point do any of them show inclination or attempt to learn about Frisk. Or...y'know...help them or even express that they'd feel sad if anyone DID kill them. And the one thing to keep in mind, the one thing I've pointed out to people is that even in the Genocide route, nobody would be in a position to be dusted had they not attacked you in the first place.

I... cannot say anything more than what was said by Insert.. I really love this point of view. Abd this Charisk is my favorite of all. I mean ..
[Spoiler5 years together and bound by souls? The feelings must comeSpoiler-End] Thank you very much for this Experience

This.

This story perceives Genocide in a way I never thought I would, and I sincerely feel bad for Frisk here. They've been through so much pain and death, and for that? They died too many times to really care about having a True Pacifist ending, because why should they? The reasons they fell down are left vague, but they'd just return to a world of judgmental humans surrounded with the monsters who tried to kill them over and over. I couldn't stand it, especially if I spent five years of my young life just trying to survive timelines.

Sans' guilt really gets me, and I feel that he will change after this. The new timeline spawning from this must be radically different, and the hint of Charisk here is amazing. The fact that they're merely a spirit that can absorb souls was an awesome touch.

All in all, I really loved this story. I'm so glad I had the pleasure of reading it! :)
