    Pokémon Hunter, Haunted

    11. Got You Now Whew, another chapter that was both a slow, tense read and yet flew by. I was on edge during the whole perilous library journey. The whole time it's waiting for the shoe to drop as Red comes into contact with more and more people. Whiting out the pages was such a good move on...

    10. Can't Remember Been a while, but I'm back for the start of Part 3! And oh god, you really were not messing around with those warnings. So, Red finally finds an explanation for his hallucinations. Being possessed by a ghost capable of messing with your thoughts and sensory perception is...

    9. The Mareep Well, this chapter was a trip--a good one for me, and a very, very not-good one for Red. I was pretty sure for narrative reasons that the apocalypse in the second half of the chapter had to be a hallucination, but one thing I really enjoy about how you write these moments is that...

    Pokémon Hunter, Haunted

    Oh boy, this was one of those chapters I had to read inch by inch using the down arrow. I can't say I was in quite as much distress as Red was watching that totally-real-and-totally-not-a-hallucination spider, but it was a close one. I could see Red digging his grave with every word and gesture...

    Pokémon Hunter, Haunted

    Red's grip on reality, always tenuous, seems to be seriously under threat this chapter. He's been possessed twice now--first by Konath, and second by Johanna--and it's definitely left an impact. This chapter leans into two of your strengths: rhapsodic writing about internal organs and lengthy...

    Chapter Six: Rebirth Really enjoyed this one. You write great dream sequences--Red's anxieties stirred up and mixed in with surrealism and frightful imagery. We start out with his anxiety over his inability to distance himself emotionally from Helix, the paradox of being predator and caretaker...

    Chapter Five Lot going on in this one, even though we haven't even left the woods. Red's control seems to be slipping away from him--first the houndoom hallucination, then the accession one. Both were very vivid. I felt placed in the moment, along for the roller coaster ride of Red's emotions...

    Pokémon Hunter, Haunted

    You promised action and you delivered! I really enjoyed the way you structured this in Red's mind as a play he's written. Him, the predator, fangs hidden; Michi, the smol but defiant nidoran. It underscores the artificiality of Red's actions and his performative streak. It's always a queasy...

    Pokémon Hunter, Haunted

    Another day in the life of the apex predator! Great to see Red outwitting the therapist with his cunning lie about having a headache and showing his worthiness as the soon-to-be-bringer by crushing a spider to pulp. That yanmask isn't gonna know what hit her--as we all know, Red is the master of...

    Pokémon Hunter, Haunted

    It's just terrible how the world won't let Red have nice things. I mean, the ascension is coming and all that, but in the interim he has to worry about his murder victim coming back from the dead as a ghost AND if that's not bad enough, some obnoxious girl who can actually communicate with...

    Pokémon Hunter, Haunted

    it murder time. lez go. Prologue 1 - Gore Palooza The real question. Oh nice, this is going to be a fluff fic. So wholesome that Red is appreciating his role as an instrument of HIM. I think this should all be in past, though. So "Accepted the offering. Ate her flesh." And I don't think we...
