This has been an intriguing read. Throughout this story you haven't hesitated to kill off the characters, though some of the ways seemed a tad too harsh. All in all I enjoyed reading this story.

It was fun while the word guessing lasted. I'm so glad they're back together for good. c:

So...I just happen to recently draw the paintings from Stolen Diva onto physical paper, and you write about Shadow having a possessed sketchbook. Actually, I think the sketchbook possessed him. At least Alice lived safely to the very end!

(I so want an epilogue/sequel...)

'kay cool. Alice and Shun meet again at the last chapter. I'm so glad she gets to go home! XD

Ah, if only everyone else who's good and alive could move out, let Sunshine Point burn to pieces and be reborn/rebuilt again.

I guess Shadow had his hardships, but that's still not a reason for killing almost everyone whom Alice was close to. What a scary sketchbook. Thank goodness it's also over. :)

Again, stop staring or talking to each other for any longer because that shovel-weilding psychopath will kill you any minute! But I did NOT expect Shadow to have a magic sketchbook. Kind of like Death Note, but with graphics! I still like the ritual book better. Shadow used drawing while Alice used words. Perfect cancellation.

Glad to hear that Shun and Alice are back toghther agian. You can take the girl out of the home, but not the home out of the girl. With these dreaded events as dead nightmares of the past and tons of time ahead of time, this would be the best time to catch up.

Okay, moving on to Sacred Force! I need to read something that's not sappy because I'm close to crying.

I can't believe Alice was communicating to Shun and them the whole time with these notes! I didn't pay attention to the letters at all.

Good job on following a pattern here. Alice means "everything" to Shadow, so he's out to eliminate everyone who means a lot to her. So I spoke about blunt force trauma last time. This time, it was *this* close to being sharp force trauma. See? She's willing to take a little longer to give the people who helped her what they deserve before selfishly leaving!

Stop staring at each other because you two are defenseless enough already. T_T

UDPATE!

(PS: What a historical teaser snippet...)

Just when Shun declares Alice to be dead, he recites the hidden message that says she isn't. I guess Shadow was really desperate, but so is Alice.

I wasn't even close either, but I spelled "alive." Very rarely do you see a letter V or U anywhere, but the V stood out more. And then you have Alice! All is (almost) well!

ALICE IS ALIVE! Have you read any of the Geronimo Stilton books? One of them has the main gang search of clues (namely letters), and Geronimo (after eating spicy pizza of chilis) randomly blurts the word LABYRINTHUS. Reminded me of Shun right there.

This is becoming very interesting, can't wait for the next chapter.

OMG ! the suspense in this story doesn't failed me ! :D the way you described the plot and the charters were sooo good ! :)) no wonder your one of my favorite author ! ( by the way , I like 'Yesterday, Today, and Rainy Days' too ! that's one of the cutest story I've ever red ! *sequels like crazy* ) aaaand I had to stop blabbering .. xD you were just amazing writer ! Update soon ! Ü

The cemetery is Shadow's doing, and whatever he was trying to do actually helped what Alice was trying to do? Success or failure, she's still alive! Alice and these people mean everything to each other.

Multicultural Fire Rituals...you're on to something there. Probably will be an idea for what to write next. I like the symbolism of the stuff Alice collected, but the strands of hair was just overly creepy. My god.

That psychoptathic/psychotic mind if no other than Shadow Prove! The cemetery was totally unexpected! And dangling each person's belongs on a hook in a hole on the gravestones? Sorry, I can't picture it. Shadow imust be out of his mind, especially with shovelling Alice in the head. [cough] Blunt force trauma [cough]

IF Alice is really dead (which I hope not), then that would be the most reasonable cause of death.

But that last drawing...

UPDATE!

So I was busy trying to make sense of what all these letters mean. 16, right? Is that the end? Hmm, I don't even know what to make out of yet. I think I'm getting something, but then the leftover letters look really awkward. :/
