My most technically complicated chapter ever, of anything ever, in my twenty years of writing. Eeesh, this was a hard write.

you finally pulled the George R.R. Martin, you monster, one of the most invested chapters you have ever written

John Smith

Nice work though. I wonder, is Daniel the watcher in the flashbacks? I guess Jack would have recognised him as there was enough time to absorb the details. I feel like I'm watching the final season of Breaking Bad all over again. I'm both thrilled and frustrated by the cliffhanger. I can't wait to read what happens next. Very much on the edge my seat. Bravo!

Glad you like it. I have no idea how you read it that quickly.

AniNovu

Martin takes it way too far, IMO. Glad you liked it, though!

My God. I was not ready for that chapter. Edit: that chapter fucked me up man rip to the realist.

Charles Mason

Noooooooooo!!!!!!!!!! Tears!! But good writing sir

Damn wow, but why does Jack think sorry Antoinette? Is he giving up his humanity? Not like a draugr but like giving in to the rage and everything but being sentient? Anyways I lost the story a bit down by the whole earth thing but the end result is amazing. The genetic memory concept is really cool.

I kind of regret not waiting for the next chapter to read this. The anticipation is going to drive me nuts. Bravo, Monsieur

I had originally put the "big moment" at the end of the last chapter, but decided to put it at the beginning of this one, for fear that people would hunt me down and hurt me if I ended a chapter on that cliffhanger instead.

AniNovu

I expected some people to get a bit lost. I told a dozen mini-stories in this one chapter, and had to describe a lot of content with only a few paragraphs each. And Jack's 'sorry' comment was just him assuming his action at the chapter conclusion would damage who he was as a person, and likely damage his relationship with Antoinette.

It was tough to write. I have to put myself 'into' my characters when I write them, in order for their PoVs to come across well in the narration, and writing those scenes fucked me up too. :(

Rogue

If u had posted this tomorrow I might have had to call in sick to work. I swear I went through the 5 stages of denial during this chapter. I could bearly finish reading. 😥

Ajax Kraitenberg

Yeah i feel that, but the writing feels a bit rushed. I love your work, but I wouldn't mind a longer chapter (even to wait longer or pay double etc) but have it slightly more explained. There were a few jumps and his ancestry references a lot that's glossed over and I feel like there could've been a side story explaining it maybe. Anyways yeah this was an incredible chapter and i love the chain reference because throughout the whole story you kinda feel the tugging, an apt analogy.

Fellow Patreons, were there any of you who saw Julias's demise coming? From like Part 5 or even before that? I'm curious.

John Test

I absolutely did not

geekstyle

Julias was my favorite character ):

Lord stumpy

Loved the chapter but man my heart can’t take it, I’m sad but at the same time really excited to see what comes next.

Rogue

So I've finally somewhat recovered from this chapter, and after reading it again I found something things I didn't pick up on before. Like the meknet that sealed great great grandma seemed like foreshadowing Damien and Jack coming to conflict. Also the addition of the strix was a nice touch.

Anyone knows the meme with the cat holding a paw to its chest saying: "damn it hurts right in my meow meow"? I dont know if i am allowed to add a picture here, so i wont. But it was the first picture coming to my mind after reading this Chapter. I realy like the vision/memory scenes here. Good job!

AniNovu

As long as it's not erotic (because these posts go public after 10 days), you can post images I'm sure. And thanks!

Malcolm

Fucking chills dude, just fucking chills Edit: This is gonna fuck me up for the rest of the day. You've ruined me Novus, absolutely ruined

AniNovu

Sorry, had to be done. Been planning it since Part 3. :(

Malcolm

You've built up to it beautifully. Reading it serially, it's been hammered in week after week that something is wrong with Jack, and everyone remarks upon it. There's been a terrible momentum that something will send Jack over the edge, a great act of violence either done to him or that he inflicts. For maximum drama, there's only two things that could do it, the death of Julius or the death of Antoniette. And once Julius started throwing up death flags (it'd suck if a Right Hand died here), omg it was the worst, made even worse by how well paced it was.
