I don't know what I think of Ada being placed in the story as a present character. I think you have a but too much questions that have been left un answered to bring yet another character, who had even more questions.
What did Ada do so everyone seems to hate her?
Why did she leave in the first place?
What happened to Eri so that she wanted her memory earased? Lynx? Vulpe?
How does Lynx have an actual effect in the story?
What's up with Cane and his past?
How the hell did alice even wind up here?
And a lot more.
On the bright side, Ada is finally here and we may be able to finally have some of those questions answered. The dresses will also be revealed soon, hopefully! The ball is coming up quickly tooo! Which is super exciting!
Update soon please!
I'm still looking for my beloved Lynx!

Oh my god!
I was actually imagining Alice becoming a cleaner, and shes dancing to build me up buttercup with a mop when I read this chaper cuz my mom was playing that song

The words: What. The. Hell. (in a good way)

Hmm, kind of cheesy in the beginning but good nonetheless. I'm really happy I found this story of yours. :)

Aww, that was such a good chapter. And not because Cane was shirtless. Although that was good. But you do such a great job with your use od imagery and detail, its amazing. And you really allowed me (and probably other readers) to sense what Alice was going through when she opened that door. I felt embarassed too. Great job!

I love Cane. Dont know why...

Onward I go!

I KNEW IT, I KNEW IT, I KNEW IT. Well sort of, I've been anticipating Ada's arrival for a while ;) I can't wait to read more! This is actually such an amazing story :D The idea is original and your writing is flawless!

Can I kill her now..? Or do I have to wait..

Great chapter! I got to say, i'm really hoping top hat jerk is the love interest here only because i'd like to see his rough exterior soften as he falls inevitably in love with Alice *lovey-dovey sigh*

Anyways, great chappie! Onward I go! :)

Amazing description, progression, and foreshadowing. Ada... *giggles knowingly*

Interesting...

*sigh* Another great chapter. I'm so glad I have 30 something chapters to go, I dont want this to end anytime soon.

More plot progression, please. Alice's wonderings about Cane made sense, considering the fact that they were related to recent events, but try to limit the amount of thinking and mental questioning that occurs if it's not directly tied to what is happening in a scene, or if this thinking is occurring at the expense of plot. Alice's questioning about her acceptance of the heart-collecting "mentality" could have been shortened and placed within the context of a killing scene-just to keep the chapter moving along.

On the other hand, I applaud the major plot twist of introducing Ada in the flesh. This ought to be interesting.

Keep writing.

Perfect!

Sounds like Wizard of Oz to me. Lol.

I love your story! It's fresh. The spelling and grammar was perfect and the pauses, splendid. The amount of detail was superb and I managed to smile throughout the read. Great job and can't wait to read more!

I was on my way to work when I got an email that you updated this story. Boy was I excited!

So, I am all caught up now, and oh my gosh, Ada? Are you kidding me? Really excited to see what comes of her presence. I have a feeling we have some angsty, emotional scenes coming, and let me tell you, those are my favorite!

So glad you updated! Keep writing!
