LOVE this work! I can't wait to see more from you in the future!

Finally reviewing this chapter!

Yessss. This chapter answered some of my prayers! Jack just needed a BIG NAP, the cranky old man. Those poor Nisse! And the mermaids too, oof. He's a bit of a jerk isn't he? That's something I had been picking up on before but daaaang, this kid... I hope he didn't kill that one gnome dude. All I could think of was it shattering into peices. He really made an awful mess in that town (also isn't it bad that he froze the home spirits that protect the people's houses?).

Ok, Jack deserves a good spank but because it is oozing with inner character conflict this chapter did make me feel sad for him. It was pretty hard watching him try so hard. Almost every chapter that I've read has not failed to create a painful squeeze in my chest at some point, you go girl! (Or boy. Whichever you are). The ending was nice. He really needed that.

You know I never really thought about death like that. Dying alone sounds scary enough, but the idea of no one realizing your gone sounds... shattering. Ahhhh now I'm thinking about it X_X. Still, super cool you used it as a theme! It tied up so well with all the misery your exploring in Jack's character.

And no no! I didn't mean to make it sound like Jack came off as OOC or too much in some parts. Sorry about that. On the contrary, I really like the way you wrote him. Like, a lot. More then the movie's version in some ways actually, which I know must sound a tad strange to hear because wouldn't that be the equivalent of blasphemy? Your version does feel different but not off-base in any way. I like how he's being more deeply explored. I personally felt you reinforced his personality more firmly in doing so. What I mean is, he really feels like what a trickster spirit would be like, combined with the added layers of everything he's gone through. There's also this... mean, and inconsiderate side to his amusements. And it's interesting to see them be fuled by boredom, lonliness, resentment, etc because of the deeper significance to what's going on inside him. That's why I'm so fascinated by his character. So keep doing what your doing! It's been really great. Your capturing an essence not shown on screen and I love that!

That's interesting to hear about the Typhon creature. It's greek I believe? Been reading up on their myths lately (which I'm actually new to, well, out of my own accord) and yup. Didnt realize mythology was so waaaaaack. Super duper insane. Wildly abstract and surreal, like these people's imaginations were fueled by drugs when they were making these up. I'm definetly excited to see what other interesting creatures you spring up! I really liked all the home/town spirits. Just loved the idea of even physical creations like sculptures and statues being alive haha. And yeah! You totally deserve the praise! This is an impressive read! :D

Oh. My. God. How do you NOT HAVE MORE PEOPLE REVIEWING THIS STORY? IT'S SO GOOD.

I don't think I've read a rotg fic that's made me feel so anxiously hopeful and depressed at the same time. All I wanted to do was HUG HIM. Broke my heart to watch him get abused non-stop. But what made it worse was all the self-reasoning he was doing to shield himself from the terrible things that were happening to him. How being the Old Hag's self-replensihing happy meal instead of the other kids being targeted was a good thing to him since no one would miss him anyway. That downright sucked. Or the hopeful expectation of Bunny finding him a second time, and then pretending like it didn't hurt to find he'd been alone, unmissed. Unnoticed. That reeeeally really suuuucked. And then all the moments he was way past his limit and just wanted to curl up and die. Ahhhhhhhhhh!? Why would you do that? Where is the humanity in all of this? You played so hard on all of his spychological vulnerabilities. And speaking of play, GOD. It was so crazy and stressful watching him use his playfulness and his turning things into a game and mischeif as a coping mechanism. The freaking conversation he was having with the gargoyals was messed uuuup. It left me unnerved when he seemed so turned-around about "the game being over" and "how can that be when he's the Old Hag's 'favorite'". Not a good favorite. Not a good desire for it either. Like, just the fact he was gonna take being twistedly hungered for over being genuinly wanted is so awful. So freakin' sad. Can you just heal him already? Give him love that doesn't consist of canabilistic child serial killers or violent creatures mutilating him? I feel so sorry for this boy like just. Let. Him. Liiiiive.

This story is so well written tho. There's a lot of things I specifically liked about it. Like the distinct feeling I got from your version of Jack's personality in this story. He seems a little less socially inept and more mellow in the movie. Yours sounds like an ADHD version what with how his thought-process worked. I liked it tho, I thought it was interesting to hear him sound like the litteral embodiment of play and fun and small attention-spans. I can see why he would be annoying too, but that made me like reading his thoughts a lot more. Seeing him get overconfident and mischievous that explain why he gets into trouble in the first place, no matter how well intentioned he is when doing it.

The side characters are so interesting too. Like the Horrific Old Hag gave me terrifying mental imagery, aggggghhhh. Perfect nightmare fuel. The Gargoyals were also super cool. I really liked the banter between Jack and them. And then the snake heads, Typhone or something? We didn't get to see much of him (them?) as a character but I thought they were also really cool. Seeing the spirits he encounters also be a part of the scenery, or I guess a part of the "playing feild" that this story was taking place was very interesting to read about. Covered a lot of ground in a very fantastical and scary sense. I really did like seeing an infamous folktale character come to life and reading about statues as characters. Made me wonder what other form or shape spirits could take on in this world.

I just really loved the suspense. I did not expect to read this and be so constantly on edge, wondering what new horrible thing you were gonna come up with and hurtle it at a already very depleted Jack Frost. Give the guy some releif from his own angsty misfortune soon pleeeeaase. I do love your spychological and symbolic tie ups for his character and how he handles his journey a LOT but ahhhh.

Can't wait for the next update! Thank you for sharing this. It's really amazing :D

I absolutely LOVE this story. It is amazing! Can't wait 'till you get out the next chapter! XD

Yeah, a lot of fans are apparently older than me. I happen to be a teenager, and I can legit count on one hand the people that are younger than me! And yeah, your fanfic updates just make my day lol. Although, this one made me actually imitate vomiting motions, and I'm just lucky I ate nothing. Ighhhh, poor Jacky T-T

As for RotG in general, oof Jack's resilience makes me fight through all that oppresses me. Your fanfic embodies said resilience SO WELL and makes me feel stronger inside. I love writing, and yes it's really therapeutic! Btw, have you heard of Joyce's cosplay contest on Instagram? I just wanna spread the word around, considering I could never compete (my parents aren't too supportive of me).

Btw, the sky's actually not the limit, it's yourself, and trust me, I'm in outer space at this point. I seriously need to read The Diary of Anne Frank, considering how everyone keeps telling me how much I'd like it because of how I act like her pfttt. Also, the sky's not the limit for you either! Keep updating this amazing whirlwind of a fanfic :P

So far it has not disappointed me and is turning out to be a really nice and original story. This has got to be one of my favorite Rotg stories out there.

Jack has some seriously bad luck

Do you have ANY clue how much I died from this? I'm dying gosh, I want to cry in joy and fear and OH MY GODDDDDD! This fanfic seriously makes me go insane with emotions, and it makes me wonder just how horrible my readers feel about my fanfic updates lmao. Oof, I've had to create a few lists, but that's not the point. I swear, I need to somehow find your age because with your talent, you couldn't POSSIBLY be a teenager. Maybe a college student or something if I had to guess.

Also, this fanfic makes my day every update :P Seriously, I'm going through hell and back basically right now, but this fanfic helps SO MUCH with dealing with the world. Gives me a shot of adrenaline and the need to live 3 I love your work!

Oh god, stop hurting Jack T.T, where is bunny ir the guardias!

Incredible written

This is very interesting and I can not wait for more. I really love your writing style. (:

Oh my god, I GOT A HEART ATTACK WHEN SHE ROSE UP AGAIN! Dang, this was beautiful, God. This is why I love this fanfic so much! The desperation, the angst behind a supposed game, just whoaaa.

This story has my heart beating quickly and I'm terrified for Jack. Well done!

Old hag is scary as f

Well...this is getting, interesting. I don't know what else to say but keep it up and I can't wait for the next chapter!

Oh CRAP, Jack is going to do something stupid (I hope that Bunny realizes what might be going on in his mind and stops him).
