OMG. Just. OMG. :O

I agree with the comments up there. This is a wonderful universe, and a lot of things could still happen, I'm sure. 8D

This deserves a continuation where they all end up being N's XD (Not that I'm forcing or anything)

[yey_yey]

Goddamn, everyone wants these guys to become social out-caste N's.

[zheinpathos]

XD Sorry, but I'm really interested in the rest of this world! ♥

Late comment is extra late. But man. <3 I loved the relationships in this and how they were all just a little different and the complications arising from the caste system and just. Ugh. So good. (Also, I'm just throwing this out there but Koyama and Tego are both I's and in Riverside now……………….) Anyway. >.>

That was Pi's favorite dessert, and any time Ryo could sneak one out for him, his eyes would light up and he'd hug Ryo close, and say, sweetly, "Thank you, Ryo-chan."
Agh. I loved this part. It made me tear up. I'm not really a RyoPi romantic fan at all, but I loved the idea of them in this.

Yamapi was a man who socialized and slept entirely outside of his caste. Most often with Ryo, the U and chef, and Koyama, an I and pediatric nurse. It was scandalous.
Ehehehehehehehe. I like scandalous. Especially of the KoyaPi / KoyaRyo variety. <3 Also, I think you captured Pi's free spirit really well in this. Love.

Because Massu knows that Shige knows the rules of the world.

That doesn't stop Shige though. !!!!! Shige

I think you captured Pi's free spirit really well in this.
Yayyyyyy~ I really wanted to keep his my-pace, doing-my-own-thing attitude to separate him from the other characters who continued to live in the caste-based society.

I love Koyama with a serious proclivity for sex.
That is because he's hot stuff, and we all know. It's the legs *_*

I put Tego in Riverside with Koyama on purpose, in case I ever did decide to write more of this XD And, I would like to write more of this sometime, but I've got few options with it, cause I'm not making them all N's.

There's not quite as much TegoShige as I wanted when I started writing this, but the world and supporting characters are more flushed out than they would have been otherwise, so I guess I can't complain about my own writing too much ;)

*rubs hands gleefully* Does want. <3

Honestly I hope really to see more, too. :D I think it'll be all the more interesting to see how you would deal with it with them NOT all being N's. I can't see Koyama or Massu becoming N's, say, or Tegoshi, so I'm interested to see who you make N's and don't and what they do from there. And lol yeah, it's funny how fics do their own thing completely independent of you. XD But it was good, of course. :D

Before i read the rest of this... major points for quoting brave new world =D

now .... i will read... excuse me ^^

[crazyfaucet]

The ending... feels very unfinished... but the premise of it all is interesting. =D I wonder if Shige really decided to stay?

Nice to see a NEWS adaptation of Brave New World =D It was awesome =D Thanks
