If you have the patience to read a pasta that's has around 8,000+ words (not bothered checking), then this, is absolute perfection.

The way that you created Frederick's character, is simply put, perfect. So much detail. With everything he says, what he thinks, what he does, and how he acts, never have I hated a main character more than I hated Frederick. Also, his eventual illness and his slow, painful perishing, was written in such a way that it as neither satisfying, nor did you feel sorry for him, but that it was creepy/unsettling. That is honestly the first time that a story on this site has done that and made me feel that way, something which I find very, very impressive.

The writing was absolutely beautiful, and the narrative absorbed me right from the beginning. Not once while reading this story did I feel the urge to look away or click on another tab or anything. My eyes were glued to the screen, and I never knew I could read an 8,000+ pasta as quickly as I did this one.

Astonishing.
