This story is amazing. I don't even know where to start. The meta, the cyberpunk, the world-building: this is all so amazing.

Thank you for reading. :)

The ending is a lot happier than I usually write when I write a dystopia. I'm glad you enjoyed the story.

Holy mother of god I was not expecting this. I kind of just stumbled upon it while searching tags and was like what on earth... and then of course, with a premise like this, how could I refuse? Dystopias are a favorite of mine, and here you managed to work in absolutely everything: KAT-TUN internal meta, KAT-TUN vs JE meta, Shuuji to Akira and how they both relate to each other, Nobuta, and things like Jin and the others. How on earth did you do this? It was so skillfully done and executed that I spent half the time in total confusion, trying to figure out who was who at what point and what the names meant, and the other time just raptly reading the words on my screen. This was brilliant. I mean, seriously, it was just completely brilliant. ♥

It's been a while since I posted this, and I certainly wasn't expecting any more comments, so this was a pleasant surprise! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I adore dystopias as well, they're my favorite genre to read/write, and there's a distinct lack of them in fandom(s). I'm glad you liked all the meta as well, I worried it would be a little heavy-handed at times.

I'm really glad you enjoyed it. Question of Nobuta was one of my favorite pieces to write (though it took a ridiculously long time; I blame Jin for leaving while I was still in the middle of writing it, forcing me to adjust my plot), and I'm glad people are enjoying it long after I've posted. :)
