Wow, this was so emotionally intense. Really, really good job at conveying Jounichi's feelings to the reader.

Dear GOD, I love this. It's so very real. The hurricane of emotions Jou goes through is spot-on for one in his position. Neither of them are particularly in-character, but what a perfectly believable story this is nonetheless. Good work!

This story was amazing. The way you wrote it, from Jou's point of view, showing his life and his fears was brilliant. The only thing I didn't like was the ending. It would have been great to see another chapter or two and give Jou and Seto a happier ending. Anyway, your portrayal of the characters was very good and the plot was really deep and touching. Congratulations.

JOU!

*glomps him*

oh god that's so sad! *beats father to a bloody pulp.*

suddenly I feel slightly better...

Amazingly written, emotive and disturbing, a very well done even though it makes me want to cry.

You seem to have a things with beaches. The last one I read was entirely based on one. Cool though. Beaches are nice but only in Mexico. When you go, no one's there and it doesn't smell like people and it isn't all crowded and full of shops and stuff. You can sit there and just hear the waves and they're a ton of animals. I got a sea lion to pose for me because it was so unused to humans. But watch out for the sharks. It's kinda scary when something rolls in that a shark has killed. Also, they're alot of seashells and sand dollars that you don't really see on California's beach. Well, sorry for rambling there.

Wonderufly sad and angsty story. Gotta love it. I wished you'd update. It seems unlikely though. :( Oh well. Love it anyways. Though it had a terrible cliffy. Errgh!

Later.

Later.

another one of yours! and this one's even better! not that the other was bad, i liked the other one alot too, but i like this one more... this was great, like really great and i think it was good that you stoped there becaues now we can guess what happens it just works this way. you're really good. you know there was a funny part in this. you said Sixteen wheeler... get it? he was sixteen and his English last name is Wheeler? lol. i don't think you meant that, but i laughed. this was really kind of sad though... i wonder what Jou did with his life... i bet Set was always trying to find him again, to know that he's still alive, but he never did find him, and he never got with anyone else, even though Jou thought he would. that sounded like it came from the story, but i just wrote that! you know what? i have to gonow, i think i've wasted enough space for nothing, because you'll most likely never see this, ever... well review you later_

Angst! I'm going to cry! ;_;

WHY DID YOU STOP THERE?

This on a! HEY! YOU ROCK, BABY, YEAh! Keep it gold, baby, you dig it. I am not depressed...I'm HYPER! I LOVE these stories! They're so COOL! COL! But...but...*goes off to sob in a corner*

That was on a. I am stick.

Great, now you left us all suitably depressed. Does that make you feel good! Huh? HUH?

this is poop. while you read this, listen to Eleanor Rigby, by the beatles. its fun! :)

bibi!

That's really sad... I hope you do a second chapter, but it could easily end right there (and leave everyone hanging!). Either way, that's a really great fic!

Hey! Why'd you end there? don't tell me it's actually the end? no! you MUST continue! i command you! *hypnotizes ykarzel* ha ha ha.. kidding. send me an email whenever you can update, please? really loved it.

WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO CONTINUE! THIS IS SO GOOD! OH MY GOSH! HOW COULD YOU STOP THERE! HOW COULD YOU! THIS IS SO SAD! My eyes are tearing...THEY ARE! YOU HAVE GOT TO CONTINUE!

Oh my GOD! I'm almost crying! And I NEVER cry! *gasps for air* This was the best YGO fic I've ever read to date - the characters are painfully IC, and the story sucked me in completely. Wow. I...I would say more, but I'm completely tongue-tied. But, fantastic work! Please, please keep writing! -Windsong

Wow. I know this is months after you wrote it, but I just found it. This is a WONDERFUL story. This was very true. Very sad. Very powerful. Keep writing.

(cries) Thats so sad I feel so bad for Jou its a good story but very very sad :(

Wow. I've been planing to review this for ages, but I've never gotten around to it...

Routine was so different from your other fanfiction. So much darker and colder. You captured Jou's feelings perfectly and laid them out in an organised fashion, easily understood. If more writers on wrote as well as you (keeping within their own boundries and styles, of course) I'd respect fanfiction alot more than I do right now. I'm waiting for you to release a novel.

I hate to push you, but it has been forever since you last posted anything. Um... sorry. *blush*
