AHHHHH... What a great chapter. Seeing Ib break down and Garry feel mercy were definitely the favorite parts...

Too bad you don't seem to be continuing this, perhaps not even be online. I really want you to continue this, and I don't want you to pass this to someone else since I don't think someone can imitate your style.

Yours is definitely unique.

I was going through a bunch of old five I had alerts for and came across this again and reread it. It’s just as good as I remember, but I’m sad to see you never finished it. :(

I honestly loved this concept of Psycho Ib and how the story played out; it made me smile in terms of how she becomes unstable while the others lived their lives and the fabricated world becoming Ib's hellish playground...Not sure if chapter 22 is the end but it almost brought me to tears in seeing her breaking down! I'm hoping that you are doing well and also to see your work again

If your not set with your ending I'd like to see a tragic ending (I know I'm a sadist, sue me.)

Is it wrong that I like the idea of a psychopathic Ib?

Geez. Those kids must wanna get fined if they're smashing exhibits like that. Fake or not, that's some serious vandalism they got going on. Or it was, until Guertena decided to outdo them.

This chapter was really touching. Seeing Ib look so... broken was just heart-wrenching. I mean, psychological damage is pretty par for the course with the Fabricated World, but just the way she felt so honestly ground down to the point where it's like she's running on fumes. Her resignation really came across vividly. And then, of course, there's the dark irony of her refusing to aid the King because "It's a painting". Things are just a whirlwind of emotions in there.

Excellent writing. You've done a great job of capturing the sheer amount of strain that everyone is being subjected to, and things are looking all the more ominous with the Gallery falling apart. I look forwards to seeing what you've got in store for the group.

Awesome chapter. 3

Very interesting story so far, well-written. I've always had a thing for madness themes, and pure innocent Ib having gone psycho from thousands of years of loneliness is really interesting to see, as is the "corrupted" gallery itself. Your characterization of Mary really makes me like her even more than I already do too.

I wonder what that "pet" she made looks like... I figure it's either so terrifyingly eldritch it's never described or truly seen, or surprisingly cute while being twisted. It is still a kid who made it afterall, insane or not. Looking forward to the next chapter!

I'm dying. I need an AU where they all live.

I love it! I can't believe you are still continuing the story! It makes me so happy! Thank you!

It lives! I'd thought that this story was dropped a while ago, but I can say that I'm very happy to be proved wrong. With so few Ib stories coming out these days, seeing the return of one of the old big ones made my day.

It may be short, but the ominous feeling is no less present for that. I'd almost forgotten about the forgery plot point, and it seems that the Fabricated World isn't the only fake in the gallery. I can only guess what that means for those trapped inside.

And now the group is split up again. Mary and Mary going one way, Garry and not-so-stable Ib going the other. Things definitely are reaching the crescendo, and I greatly look forwards to seeing what will happen when this mess comes to a head.

Excellent writing. You certainly haven't lost any of your touch, and the characters remain incredibly vivid.

Wow this has been one of the most creative take on Ib out of all the stories I have read so far(and believe me I've been readings Ib stuff for years xD) Can't wait to see what else you have in store for us!

Whoa, nice story. It's been a while since it read this, I became a bit obsessed with Undertale. Anyway, nice story! See ya!

Yes! I love your stories! May I more please? Please?

*Sorry for having to leave a guest review again. Just the format preventing me from doing it normally since the reviews don't follow the chapters when one gets deleted, meaning I technically already left a review for ch20 which now occupies the 19 slot*

Oh boy, where to start with this. It has been a while, but this chapter was definitely worth the time. There's so much being said in such a short span, and the atmosphere is nothing short of excellent.

I guess the obvious beginning point would be Ib. She's just... so very vivid. The damaged side of her, mixed with the vague memory of who she used to be makes for such an interesting character that's so superbly different from who she was in game. It feels so creepy and disturbing and wrong and I love it. Especially given that it fits so well.

Then there's Fake Mary. She seemed like such an antagonistic character at first, but now she feels so much more pitiable (ironically, making her development the opposite of how the real Mary's was to an extent). I don't know what role she's going to play in the next chapter(s), but you've got me hoping that somehow something works out, though that looks unlikely given the circumstances.

And then there's the pet. Such a simple introduction, and yet you've already got me freaked out by that thing. I imagine that being locked up for three hundred and twelve years would drive anyone mad, and if it's shaking the Fabricated World apart just by walking, I can only guess at how nasty it's going to be in person. Times like this, having Red Eyes as backup would really come in handy.

All in all an awesome chapter. These three (make that four at the moment) just can't catch a break, and everything's just got that apocalyptic feel that makes you know whatever's coming is going to be big. You've got me very eager to see what's up for them next, so I'll see you then.
