D-Kirb chapter 15 . 7/27
I meant Hajime is cooperating with Kokichi. Sorry, misread the P.O.V. (Which would explain my confusion during my first read.)
D-Kirb chapter 15 . 7/27
You can cut some of the tension with a knife here. Between a reanimated Sakura who is basically no longer “herself,” Kokichi getting the actual motive (oh hell), Chiaki seemingly cooperating with him (OH HELL), and people having some split views on whether they did the “right” thing. Also, Hina you mean well, but her not being able to let things go could be dangerous in a game like this. Especially when it comes to Sakura. Let’s just say I’m worried. Really, really worried that this chapter is going to get ugly.

This is easily the best chapter so far. Junko and Kokichi's POV's were everything. Yes it's been confirmed, Junko has her Ultimate Analyst talent. I love her thought process on Shuichi reignighting her fire of emotions. Hopefully she doesn't carve despair and try to off his as i'm really enjoying them together. She also remebers Yasuke, interesting...and Kokichi wants to end the killing game proving that underneath his villanious persona beats a heart that does care. This chapter has reminded me once again why Hajime is one of my fave protags. Because he not only has a persoanlity but he has a lot of determination (that way he can save his game in Undertale lol). Plus he's relatable and more realistically human like compared to some of the other characters. Gundam's speech to Aoi at the end was beautiful, just beautiful and so very true. We as humans need to live because if we don't then what's the point of existing. Rest in peace 5th Deva of Destruction, may you finde eternal paradise. Aoi...Aoi needs intenseive therapy. She has a lot of personal issues and I feel for her. The way she clings to those around her like a lifeline and not to mention how she tried to kill everyone in canon. Plus the way she holds a grudge on top of that. If she survives I really hope she talks to someone because she has so much I think she needs to get off her chest. Now onto the important part of this chapter...Sakura. First off, I love the mental state you brought her back in. It's both heart-wrenching and interesting at the same time. Reserection never works the way it's intented. Examples: The monster that Dr. Frankenstien created was a tormented soul that was forced into existence and given a cursed life, Buffy Summers was ripped out of heaven and her well earned eternal peace and forced back onto earth (which is more of a hell the actual hell) to endless;y fight monsters and the forces of evil, Tom Riddle completed his transformation completley into Voldemort along with snake like features and a complete lacks of sanity and rationality (although that might also have to do with splitting his soul seven times), Kikyo (from the anime Inuyasha) was forced to collect soul fragments of the dead to keep herself going and always felt cold, forever losing the feeling of warmth. My point being Resurection always HARSH consequences and Sakura is proving this (If it really is her in there). Let's say that it is her, her body is part way through decomposing, her speech is no where near as fluid as before and she's also traumitized. She remembers watching Tenko die, seeing Fuyuhiko drain the life from her and not being able to stop him. I cannot imagine the burden that must weigh on someone. From what i've seen Survior's Guilt is horrible and to top that with the fact that she's back from the dead must be absoultley destroying her inside and out. Plus the fear that others are showing towards her mus just be piling it on. Gundam was right in that reserecting someone was a mistake that they never should have attempted. Because if it is Sakura she will be traumitised and tortured for however long she keeps this second life and if it's not Sakura then...they just welcomed true evil into the academy, something far more fowl then Monokuma and i'm looking forward to finding out which one is true. A truly beautiful chapter. You are a fantastic writer and I look forward to the next chapter with excitment:)

I knew there was going to be a catch to this resurrection! So Sakura is basically a walking corpse now. Not a full resurrection, just a zombie. That is creepy, and a good example of why you should never listen to Monokuma.

Clever idea introducing another motive via the Skeleton Key though. That will be interesting. Also, Hajime deciding to help Kokichi end the Killing Game is interesting. Kokichi practically succeeded in canon, so maybe this time he’ll be able to pull it off?
ashDanLand chapter 15 . 7/27
This chapter was...good thought a bit painfull I guess? the Sakura thinks maybe felt...idk something that I not like it...despair I think is call it xD Nah I'm joking was pretty good hehe.

Is Junko like feeling that too? Uh no, I hope that don't...wait I says hope? xd

Finally Hajime says something (well mostly you make us saw his mind thought) I guessed that was Chiaki always yet was... interesting I guess.

Ahh Kokichi you're so like that xd keep bother all is so funny, go to bother Miu please! xD
MsterCyn1cal chapter 14 . 7/22
At long last, I'm caught up! And just in time for Sakura to come back from the dead; what truly divine timing! I feel like the point of the wax statue not capturing Sakura's soul might be important here, but damn would it be cool if Sakura legitimately was just back. Either way could be fascinating, really.

Junko lashing out at Shuichi over trying to defend Leon is deeply concerning. That was a flash of the canon Junko just then, and if there's traces of that in her, it could mean there's much more of it in there than is good for our dear Detective. Hmm...
MsterCyn1cal chapter 13 . 7/22
Junko is becoming Kaito and Kaede in one, and my detective boy could not possibly be more into it. Let's hope her intentions are honest here; it'd really break my heart if this was all in the name of some scheme.

Miu getting attacked by the Devas for calling Gundham a zoophile is cathartic as hell, not to mention hilarious. I'd tell her to get fucked, but she'd probably enjoy that. You're correct; the relationship between Miu and Angie with the occasional bit of Gundham is absolutely impeccable. Angie in general was really damn fun this chapter.

Speaking of Gundham, him and Peko's friendship scene was lovely! His utilitarian view on the nature of killing in the service of life works really well with Peko's checkered past, and using that as a way of bonding is a great move here!

Hajime, working with Kokichi won't end well for you. Best stop it before you get Kaito'd or Gonta'd.

And hey, the Necronomicon, AKA the single biggest letdown in V3! I well and truly thought it would be used to bring Kaede back, and let me tell you, I don't think I was ever more disappointed to have my expectations subverted than when that motive was literally completely ignored. Given your tendency to take gambles with deaths and motives, I'm excited to see what happens!
MsterCyn1cal chapter 12 . 7/21
My my, Fuyuhiko in Towa City? With Ryota of all people? What a curious situation. I wonder how he ended up there from wherever the hell the academy is.

I am *really* liking this Alexander guy. He gives me major Hazama energy, and that is very much a good thing. His sense of humor is exactly my jam, too. Excited to see where this will go!
MsterCyn1cal chapter 11 . 7/20
Don't you, forget about me~

Well fuck. I had vague suspicions of Gonta, but I couldn't think of why on earth he'd do something like this, so I cast them aside. Then, as soon as Peko was willing to take the fall for it, I realized there was only one person she cared enough to do that for. RIP Gonta; did literally nothing wrong. Again.

I'd say this was a pretty solid case! I like the odd supportive role Junko seems to be taking on. She does genuinely seem to be guiding Shuichi in the right direction, and I can't think of how doing that would bring about a despair greater than if she did nothing and they voted incorrectly, so I think she's just a cool gal this time around. Hopefully that holds true.

One aspect I'm admittedly not big on is this beef with Hajime. Maybe it's just because we haven't actually seen his tape, but his aggression towards Shuichi seems really weird to me, especially when the good detective has given him zero reason to be wary. This might be something that gets repaired come next chapter, though, so we'll see what's to come. Overall, still really on board with this!
MsterCyn1cal chapter 10 . 7/20
Hajime's seeming a bit sketchy here, not gonna lie. It seems Chiaki was his motive tape and he had a distaste for Hifumi, which are not a good pair of circumstances to have right now. Hopefully he gets over this pissiness with Shuichi soon; the protag boys gotta stick together, or one of them will meet a terrible fate...

The method of death seems to be the odd one out here. He died of blunt force trauma, but both a sword and a pistol were also present in this case... peculiar. My only theory is that it would have had to be someone decently strong and skilled to do that sort of damage to Hifumi and the door without making the latter obvious at a glance. So, strong, skilled, and hates Hifumi... that doesn't sound like anyone, actually, which means that last one was a misnomer... and was one of Hajime's suggestions. Hmm...
MsterCyn1cal chapter 9 . 7/20
Aaaay, Leon making them moves! I never considered this ship before the story, but I'm sold. This is mega cute.

Chiaki distrust Junko hardcore, which leaves me conflicted. *I* don't think Junko's gonna be flat out evil like she is in canon, but Chiaki is good at reading people. Hmm...

#FucKokichi is getting a lot of use lately. To be honest, I'm incredibly relieved it was Hifumi, because when I saw how distraught Chiaki was by the body, I thought it was Hajime. Here's hoping he's not the culprit!
MsterCyn1cal chapter 8 . 7/20
Sorry for the long pause in reviews! Had a busy week, but I'm back now, and there's a lot to say here!

Okay, so first off, #FucKokichi once again. Seriously, I want Hina to punch some of his teeth out. What a cock. Also, Junko wants Shuichi to put the D in her Detective, but to what end? Is Chiaki upset because she's also gunning for him, or because Junko is trying to pull his strings?

"What's the matter, big guy? Everything not up to proportions? Ya speakin' softly but carryin' a little stick? Does your package not deliver? Has a loved one been diagnosed with Mesothelioma and you're unable to provide financial compensation? Smallus Dic-"

This is the best thing I have ever read, oh my GOD-

Peko and Gonta? Intriguing concept for a ship.

Once again, the glorious Saimatsu motive appears, but both he and Kaede are too chad to fall prey to it. Godspeed, Shuichi!
D-Kirb chapter 14 . 7/18
First of all, I am legit surprised that you made the Necronomicon legit. Hell, I’m glad it wasn’t a motive. (I still think that this being a motive to get the V3 kids to murder each other in the actual game was kinda nonsensical without the Student Council subplot and Kiyo finding that stupid book in his lab conveniently making it useful.) You’re also not being subtle about how obvious the ploy was to divide the students, aren’t you. This was also the most civil dispute I’ve seen involving this eccentric class, and that’s saying something considering Gundham, Angie, Miu of all characters were the ones mainly doing the arguing, which worries me because of how the most vocal characters in a situation are usually the next to go and I like 2 of the 3 characters. But then again, I could be worrying for nothing since this ISN’T the motive that pushes them against each other. Also, way to give Shuichi mixed messages, Junko. Do you want him to only be more confident towards everyone else but be a bottom for you SPECIFICALLY. This was an...interesting chapter, but in a good way.
ashDanLand chapter 14 . 7/18
Again Shut up Miu! xD ahh you make me wish to yelling her shut up! idk if that's good or ba, I'll take it as something good xD.

I like how moral's Gumdham, yet I not felt bad that they actually ignored him, but hey ehh was Shuichi or Angie or Chiaki right here? Anyway all have good points (except Miu) so along they not fight this will be good for they, no for despair but you understand xD.

Also I like that Junko show up something kinda true, she's amazing like character, but also I'm glad that she told to Shuichi that true, stop buying pathetic...mmm why almost all the protagonist here are like that? even so Shuichi's my fav protagonist thought. Hajime was...okay I skip that part...moving one, Aoi and Leon times are kinda the best here, I'll be feel so sad if something happen to they the next chapters I hoped that they don't.

Grait now I felt so bad foreshadowing over Miu, Gumdam and Angie...I'm worried so much? Probably .-.
SuperSonicHeroes chapter 14 . 7/18
Oh well... I knew it was a long shot Gonta would get a second chance. Though I guess Sakura is the next best choice. She seems just as strong as him and just as caring about her friends, plus if she is revived maybe it can help Peko stop feeling so guilty about what she did to her.

Though there is no way Monokuma is going to make it this easy for everyone. There needs to be some kind of catch to this deal for whoever they revive, like they are turned into a Remnant of Despair or something. Otherwise if there wasn’t then I’m not sure why they would start killing again.
