OK, this grew on me the more of it I read. It started with the alienating premise that Chloe was unaware that she was hated, and while I could easily accept her thinking they disliked her out of jealousy rather than righteous anger the idea of thinking they were jealous and still liked her was a hard sell, after all jealousy is not known for engendering kind feelings.

However when it got past that and into Chloe's attempt to be better (not nice by any means but no longer actively hostile) it became much better. I liked Chloe believing herself to be dispensing valid advice and Marinette advising her on how to do so, and then her inner monologue on donating her old clothes to Sabrina, and then in the end actually defending Marinette's design and going so far as too arrange help for her? This is good development here.

Also I liked the comment about Sabrina always managing to find the ugliest thing and I'm now imagining Gabriel and/or Audrey using her as a quality test — any catwalk dress that she liked must be fixed before it hits the runway.

I really appreciated the growth Chloe had while it still not being completely off market. I loved how it still flowed with her character and wasn’t all black then white. It was a fun read and I just couldn’t put it down!
:)

I know some people don'tike Chloe but I loved what you did with this chapter. You managed to make her grow as a person while still having her fit perfectly in her character. Great chapter :)

A Chloe redemption fic to start the day, what a beautiful piece! Nothing like an Akuma and Ladybug to forcibly wake this spoiled heiress to the truths of the world

YALL
THIS CRAP IS SO GOOD I HAD TO TEXT MY ONLY OTHER FANFICTION READING FRIEND IN ALL CAPS ABOUT IT
*GOOD CRAP I APPRECIATE YOU SM*

thought this was gonna be a reveal fic!
i really liked it though there was hardly any cohesion between chapters
i especially liked this chapter on Chloe even though i was hankering for more ladybug and chat noir interactions (or even adrien and marinette)

Thank you so so so much for this chapter ahhhhh it was perfect!
I've seen so many "Chloe redemption arcs" that often dissatisfy me, but this slow burn, along with Marinette guiding her, was so well-written. Thank you for sharing!

I fucking love redemption type stuff like this good job person!

I really enjoy your stories! Please don't stop, even though the writing process can be an awful lot of work. You actually have talent, unlike many other fanfic writers I've read. Actually, I almost never comment on stuff (maybe once every few months?), but I just wanted to encourage you! Keep up the good work!

I really enjoyed chapter 3. It was nice to see you keep Chloe's personality both the same and make her nicer. I would actually enjoy seeing something like the final bit in canon.

so did the reveal ever actually happen but we just didn't see it or...

This is the kind of growth I want to see for Chloe in canon. You did an excellent job and I enjoyed this very much. Thank you for sharing!

I like this chapter the best! That's probably because I feel that Chloe is the one that needs the most sense slapped into her out of all the people in the show considering how genuinely oblivious she seems to be to how people truly think of her. While I do agree that Marinette and Alya need to have epiphanies about the subjects you covered in the first two chapters, and I like how you had them have their epiphanies, I just feel that Chloe has even more of a need to have her epiphany since her problem hurts so many people so deeply and frequently, and will definitely really hurt her as well one day and more than likely keep her from being truly happy with her life. I also like HOW you had her change, since I can't see her realistically changing to the point where she's not at least a little mean and stuck-up.

I know the feeling about wanting to shake them silly! I'm glad you did something on Marinette's crush and changing that to a healthier approach. I particularly like this Chloe chapter, because she by far is the most in need of it! and I like that while she doesn't change a lot, she comes around to seeing a different way of getting through situations.

The way you wrote that was AMAZING! That isn't at all what I thought it was going to be when you said reach through and slap some sense into her, and it made this fic so much greater to read :)
