warning: this book will make your already unhealthy soukoku obsession soar beyond the boundary.

if i was a drug addict, this would be the drug of my choice. and that’s all i have to say.



AND LISTEN. I KNOW IT’S A FANFICTION, BUT EXCUSE ME? THERE IS EVERY REASON TO COUNT THIS AS A BOOK BECAUSE THE WRITING IS BETTER THAN MOST PUBLISHED BOOKS + THIS IS SUPERIOR THAN MOST FICS OUT THERE, SO THERE. I’M OUT NOW.

This changed my life, I first read this years ago and I think about it all the time still. Rereading it is always so worth it. I’ll be thinking about it for days now. I got my tongue pierced because of this fic. I considered dating because of this fic. I started writing fanfiction because of this fic. She’s my world

Coming back to rewrite this review after four years because I just reread it but you guys don’t understand this fanfic actually changed me. It truly should just be published as an actual book and slapped on the front shelf of every bookstore ever because WHAT. Almost 300,000 words and it simply was not enough.

Genuinely the best, most emotional take on this trope I've ever seen. Every. Single. Character. Is so beautifully written it makes my heart ache. I would give ANYTHING to read this for the first time again. If it wasn't a fanfic, I would literally be shouting from the rooftops to get people to read this. It was life-changing, seeing such layered and relatable characters. Dazai's characterisation really stuck with me. The author perfectly justifies his views and his actions, instead of leaving him as a "spoilt 'cus he's rich" protag that so many other romance texts with the same plot tend to do. Everything, literally everything, about this book is perfect. Never in my life have I come across a text that has made me so emotional, and the alternate ending is a whole new level. I do not consider myself an emotional person, I grew up in a household where crying was considered weakness. But this? This made me cry and smile and ache more than anything has this whole year. Such a beautiful text. If you had to read one last book, or choose one fanfic to give a chance to, let it be this one. Sorry for the rant I just love this book so, so much.

Żyłam tą książką przez ostatnie miesiące 2022 roku. Bardzo się wciągnęłam w tę historię i pozostawiła po sobie wiele przyjemnych wspomnień. Nie była idealna i im starsza jestem tym bardziej rozumiem jej wady, ale nie sprawia to, że jest to zła opowieść. Wzruszyła mnie do łez wiele razy. Śmiałam się i płakałam, wyobrażałam sobie każdą scenę w mojej głowie i właśnie dlatego ta książka zasługuje na pięć gwiazdek. Za to ile emocji we mnie wywołała i za dobre wspomnienia przy czytaniu, które do dziś wspominam. Nietrafna charakteryzacja jednego z bohaterów była chyba największym minusem tej książki, jednak nie rzucało mi się to aż tak w oczy i na potrzeby historii utożsamiałam go z nowym, przedstawionym charakterem. Czy polecam? Ciężko powiedzieć. Jeśli ktoś szuka romantycznej i jednocześnie zabawnej historii, nie zwracając uwagi na oderwane od kanonu zachowania bohaterów, myślę, że może mu się spodobać. Każdy ma swój gust, ale jeśli ktoś jest fanem fanfiction o SKK, może jednak warto dać temu szansę.

Recién me entero que puedo calificar fanfics en goodreads y no se por qué no lo sabía antes.

El mejor fanfic Soukoku que he leído. Mi fanfic favorito de la vida. 5 ⭐️ no son suficientes para describir mi amor por "Everything or nothing".

Cada tanto pienso en lo que fue para mi este fanfic. Lo leí en 2021, pero todavía tengo todo tan fresco en mi memoria.

Creo que Dazai fue el personaje con mejor desarrollo de todo el elenco. Chuuya fue un amor y amé como logra impactar en la vida de Dazai.

En fin, no puedo imaginar mi vida sin Soukoku. I love you guys.

I didn’t even want to read this originally but it took my heart out (that wasn’t meant to be a pun but after I wrote it I realized that hit the nail too hard on the head), smashed it to a billion pieces, and then gave me an existential crisis. I fully stared into the void for like ten minutes after crying on the airplane about this.
So yeah I highly recommend
*bonus points if you have a heart condition like me because then you also get the existential crisis about health issues

This fucking fanfic changed my life I love it sooooo much it will forever be in my heart🥹
Soukoku are just on of the best ships to ever exist they have my soul and this specific fic was heart wrenching and so beautiful, the writing is incredible and I feel so connected to these characters and their story❤️
Once you read it you’ll be forever changed, in a good way
P.S : NEVER READ THE ALTERNATIVE ENDING I did it and I’ve cried, no freaking sobbed, through the entire thing😭

4.5 ✨
I didn't know I needed a Soukoku addiction in my life, but now I do.

This was EVERYTHING. The writing, the characters, it was all everything I liked and more. The love and chemistry gave me butterflies and I had to stop myself from eating my kindle across the damn room. The plot was solid with fleshed out characters. It was cute, funny, painful and beautiful.

okay so i want to start off my saying this fic was rlly good as a starter into the bsd fandom but as u begin to understand skk and their character more, it isnt as good and the characterization is really shit but the plot and progression had a lot of potential. also a lot of chapters near the end were extremely boring

[ren · Rating 5 out of 5]

This took me a few hours to recover from and I definitely did not sob a few times. Sometimes fanfic just hits harder than published books and this was one of those times.

Is it bad that I'm not even ashamed to admit I read this in two days? Probably I won't even lie.

[Max · Rating 3 out of 5]

i think that this was actually very well written and the plot was pretty good, however, it was very out of character, and i constantly found myself thinking that most of the dialogue would never be said or even really thought by the character saying it.

[star · Rating 5 out of 5]

this is so beautifully written. i cried, laughed, screamed. this was amazing

[Sara · Rating 3 out of 5]

chuuya was out of character and it made me mad
the plot itself was good, just the mischaracterization was the death of me 😔

[Alyssa · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'm not even much of a soukoku fan, but I love this so much. One of the best fanfics I've ever read.
