Downfall Chronicles
From the Author of the Best-Selling books, Mapapansin Kaya, Heartless, Worthless, and The Baka Sakali Trilogy
Serene has loved Dae for years. Hindi niya alam kung bakit hindi niya makalimutan ito kahit umalis siya ng bansa. Kahit pa hindi na sila nagkita nang ilang taon at pagkatapos ng kahiya-hiya niyang pagko-confess, gusto niya pa rin ito.
Even now that she’s back and even though they are now a little bit older, everything is still the same between them. She still likes Dae, and Dae still has no interest in her.
In fact, she thinks he hates her.
Will this go on? Will her teenage days be filled with a collection of heartbreaks because of him? Or will she finally find someone else and move on?

Okay. I want to give all my thumbs up for this wonderful story. This story tells about puppy love that turned into true love, and that first love neber dies. Isa 'tong story na 'to sa mga hinahangaan kong obra ng isang Jonahmae Pacala dahil sa ganda ng daloy nito. This story made me cry. I can say, ito ang unang kwento ni ate jonaxx na nagpaiyak sa akin unlike other stories of hers. I can feel how Serene Cruz felt whenever Daelan Tanseco didn't mind her existence. I can feel all her pain, love and sacrifices. 'Yung tipong maninikip ang dibdib mo't hindi na makahinga.
This story is really one of the best (Kailan ba hindi nagkaroon ng story si Queen J na hindi one of the best?). Downfall Chronicles deserves to have a 5-star rating.
Loving this 'til now!

Done reading the story and I hate it. The only good thing in this book is Nico. I even hate the main characters in this story. They just drive me nuts

I know sometimes I give biased opinions on Jonaxx Stories but no matter how biased I am this book is 👎. This gave me real headache.
I have 3 made up classification of bad books. First is the kind of book that I just didn't like personally and I would probably still suggest them to other people cuz maybe they'd like it. The second kind is when it was just totally the author's fault, it wasn't well-written and if I think it was written by other authors it'd be good. The third one is the kind that has no chance of revival, it will never be good and if you like this kind of book I'll be judging you... this book is the third one.
My headache in this was immeasurable. And I can't even give the "this was an old story" excuse on this book, cuz I've read other old Jonaxx stories and it wasn't this bad. It was badly written :/ I must admit. No character development, no character arc, no chemistry, toxic, immature, childish, this was also unedited so the grammar and spelling were pretty bad (and istg if I see the "T'was" or "T'will" one more time I'd flip). If you're planning to read Jonaxx Stories don't waste your time on this one, pick another one, save yourself from the torture.

was nostalgic for one particular [rain] scene, which pushed me to reread this book and ended up hating every character (esp u, dae) mag sorry ka sa lahat ng dylan/daelan sa mundo !!!!! CHZ... at ikaw, serene... hindi ko maintindihan anong nagustuhan mo sakanya in the first place.
some stories just dont age well i guess ? like what some readers said here, maybe try reading jonaxx's other works & skip this one.

I've read this story since I was on my teenage year. It's one of the stories I've loved growing up. I love the dynamics of Serene and Daelan. That's why when I saw on my FYP that they had published it, I bought it immeadiately.
I give it a three because I thought they had improved the narration of the story. Lol.
I love the Special Chapter tho.

I think every Filipino reader knows Jonaxx. She’s been my favorite Wattpad author since I started reading stories on the app. I decided to read and re-read all her stories since I haven’t read some of them and have forgotten the storylines of some I used to love. I am also wondering if I would still love some of her stories since it’s been years since I last read them.
I finished reading this a few weeks ago. I heard that she wrote this story when she was a teenager, so it’s no wonder I disliked both the leading man and lady. Daelan is my least favorite Jboy at the moment, and the same goes for Serene, the dumbest JGirl I’ve encountered. I’m not satisfied with how this story ended; I can feel the cringeworthiness and immaturity in the writing. Still, I would give this a 3/5 because I am impressed with how well-written it was for a 15-year-old girl. Kudos to Jonaxx! ✨

Final Rating: 1.5 stars
I’m not sure how I managed to finish this book—I nearly put it down several times. The narration wasn’t terrible, but I kept reminding myself that it was written around 2007, so it definitely has that old-school style and some typo errors. It’s hard to describe my feelings about this book; it doesn’t evoke the same emotions as the other titles in the FTA boxed set, yet there’s still something familiar about it. I think the main issue lies in the plot, especially the immature and toxic behavior of the characters. There aren’t really any redeeming qualities, except for the special chapter at the end. The main story was written by a teenager, while the special chapter was penned by an adult, which fits since the characters are now grown up and able to reflect on and accept their past actions.
I wouldn’t recommend this book to new readers, but for longtime fans and the author, it’s a nice way to look back.
