Während die erste Geschichte für mich die sehr unnötige Fortsetzung eines vergangenen FNaF-Buchs ist, gefallen mir die anderen beiden Geschichten wieder gut. Auch die schwarzen Seiten finden einen zufriedenstellenden Abschluss.

This book might be one of my favorites in the whole series!
Writing a sequel to B-7 wasn’t necessary and honestly, it felt as though it was only done to fill a space in the bigger book, but I was pleasantly surprised at its quality. It isn’t one of the best stories under the Tales from the Pizzaplex umbrella, but it holds its own and tells a compelling story of an awakened Billy searching for a purpose in life.
I wasn’t sure I’d enjoy Alone Together as it follows a young lad in middle school and it just felt a tad too childish for me at first, but as the story went on and the ending came and went, I realized it was so much more than that. This is the first story in the Five Nights at Freddy’s universe that made me cry. Obviously, I won’t spoil the ending, but it stuck with me—I really enjoyed it. The franchise also went back to its roots somewhat with this story through the paranormal aspects, which was a fun alternative to the AI-focused stories. Not that those are bad, I love the new direction the series is taking, but it’s nice to change it up a bit, you know?
And finally, the story that changes so much in the lore, Dittophobia. I loved this one. Again, I won’t spoil it, but the reveals in this story were insane and when you look at the games, it was so obvious that the books contents were exactly what happened. It tells the story of a young boy suffering from nightmares in his home, yet he finds out something deeper is going on.
I highly recommend this book! If you’re a fan of the games, then you’ll definitely want to pick this up for Dittophobia and its lore-bending story.

The lore the lore the lore! This book especially that last story literally sent chills down my spine, not for the horror aspect of it all but the amazing tie ins and connections I as a fan of even the games and franchise as a whole for years have been itching to have answered. Every story in this book really is great, even giving a slightly morbid but still lighthearted opening story as a continuation of one of my earlier books better stories. Really this was just such a pull almost back to classic roots in the end, which really made me nostalgic and happy to finally have gotten here.

I'M FREEEEEEE (for now?) FROM THIS SERIES WE DID IT JOE
but I can't even do my usual review of each story in this one because my thoughts are all the same, and that is "wtf was the point." all three of these bored me to the point where I could barely finish them, and that's saying something - because usually even though these stories are questionable, I never have this much trouble finishing them. I am Tired. but I am Free.

I’ve finally made it to the last Tales of the Pizzaplex book! What a journey this has been. I never want to read these again.
We open on B7-2, an unneeded sequel to B-7 from book 2. After writing my review for book 2, I saw that a lot of people viewed B-7 as an offensive trans allegory, and I absolutely see where they were coming from. Billy wants to be in a different body than he currently inhabits, experiencing a mind-body disconnect, and seeks out surgeries in order to alter himself. He even gets facial reconstruction surgery. I’ve heard that the author of this story came out to say that this was not meant to be an allegory for transitioning, but given Scott Cawthon’s conservative beliefs, it is hard to not see that prejudice force its way through the lines.
B7-2 is perhaps an attempt to remedy this and distance itself from the trans allegory B-7 came across as. Billy survives his suicide attempt and wakes in a hospital, where doctors have tried to return his body to its original state. He gets visions of the robot parts of him trying to reach him, which could work as a metaphor for his past mental state still having a hold on him, but then the robot takes over his grandmother? And the robot and his grandmother instantly die? What does this have to do with literally anything? It’s not like Billy’s behavior is causing his grandma to wither away, he’s functioning well at this point, so this story beat feels so random both narratively and figuratively. I appreciate that they tried to get away from the trans interpretation of this story, but even without it, the story still sucks.
Alone Together was actually a pretty promising story! It’s the “guy investigating a ghost realizes he was the ghost all along” trope, which was a pretty neat twist that’s fitting for a FNAF book. It, like B-7 and its sequel, has very little to actually do with FNAF, which is a criticism that can be levied at a lot of these stories. Having the animatronics be mentioned in the background of the story doesn’t tie the story to the overarching franchise. I did like how the twist is set up, with oddities happening around Travis that hint at his nonexistence, but I have the sense that not all of them work or are entirely believable. Like, him not hearing his dad’s phone call until he figures out that he’s a ghost and can then miraculously know the entire call is BS. Still, this was one of the stronger stories to come out of this series, even if its focus has nothing to do with FNAF.
As I was reading Dittophobia, I realized, with horrifying dread, that this is where the “William Afton gave his son hallucinogenic gas in FNAF 4” idea came from. I hate this idea. I hate it in the lore for FNAF, where it doesn’t make sense for him to be doing all that, and I hate it here, where it doesn’t make sense for anyone to be doing all that. That question of why is more annoying than it is alluring, because there is no reasonable explanation as to why you’d trap a kid in a fake house to make him hallucinate animatronics attacking him. This is so dumb! FNAF 4 is best as William’s son’s nightmares after he gets bitten by Freddy. That’s a contained explanation that makes sense and doesn’t involve hallucinogenic gas and a fake house. Also, way too much time is spent describing the wallpaper and physical features of the house. Hate this one!!!!
I’ll give the continuous story credit for not mentioning kissing boys and romance while Lucia is fighting for her life, though it does make a stupid comment about how she doesn’t have female friends because she doesn’t like to talk about “clothes and boys.” She’s INLOGmaxxing. I don’t really understand how Lucia’s plan worked, as the Mimic has been shown to be perfectly capable of killing people without crawling into a costume, so her fixation on ruining all the suits except the springlock one seems unfounded. That whole sequence didn’t make sense, but I’m glad she final girled her way out of there. Her being able to just crawl out a bathroom window made me roll my eyes, though. I thought they were deep underground?
Anyways, my closing thoughts on the entire Tales of the Pizzaplex series is that most of these stories sucked and Scott Cawthon is good at coming up with fun ideas but is terrible at making a good story out of them. I guess I’m in too deep now, though, and I should finish up Fazbear Frights, or maybe even read the novel series… gulp…

Dittophobia is so fire. That’s all I will say.

3.5 Stars
Its time for the (probably) last tales from the pizzaplex book and my sanity is at its limit.
B-7 2: I really dont know why at of all stories that could have used a second part Scott decided to to one on B-7. Espeacially IF GGY DIDNT EVEN HAVE A PROPPER ENDING. Anyway, I definetly liked B7 2 better than its origenal. Billy was also a interesting character to explore putside of his delusion. But Im still wondering how that endoskeleton becamealive. It wasnt infested with any virus or seemed to be haunted. I liked the ending bc its a bitter sweet ending and I can use that bc we only get those every 3 books or so. Better than the origanel, good even but it lacked something.
Alone together: Kinda boring but not as boring as the entirity of book 6 and 7. At first I thought that that girl Merissa or whatever her name was, was the ghost but the twist was pretty obvisous in the last few pages. The ending of travis being the ghost all along reminded me of the goosebumps story the ghost next door so for that it gets a couple of extra points. Also am I the only one who finds it really confusing that the woodwork teacher could see ghost travis? That was never explained and Im still really confused. Alright but B-7 2 was better.
Dittophobia: I swear to god this story put the fnaf theorists into complete chaos for a week or so. It was maybe the second best story but the ending was still strange to me bc while yeah Rory was a outcast but honestly being stuck in a automated testing facility where Im always drugged and haunted by nightmarish robots sounds far worse.
The Mimic Epilouges: Probably the best part about the books but it still opens up a bunch of question. They could have probably all jumped the Mimic but hey who knows. I cant say more about them honestly my creative juices arent enough to review the stories and the epilouges.
So should this be the last one than the series definetly ended on a better note than the feazbear frights.

i was certain i was only going to read the silver eyes trilogy because it included a lot of classic characters (henry emily you deserve better), but i had found this book at my local library and wanted to give it a chance. i kinda shitted on the fazbear frights and tales from the pizzaplex books because they seemed so random and would just make the lore more confusing than it already is.
i was right, but the stories aren’t necessarily bad (just kinda corny at times).
recently scott confirmed that these books are canon to the game universe. with what we know about the paranormal in the games, i suppose these stories kind of make sense. however, i don’t enjoy the sci-fi aspect that was included in recent years.
our first story, B7-2, was honestly the best out of the three. for me, it was very engaging and you actually feel a lot of sympathy for the main character, billy. this story was in a lot of hot water because people believed it was about detransitioning, but it’s absolutely not. it’s just about a lonely guy who became so infatuated with technology and robotics (doesn’t say if he was engulfed in the problematic history of fazbear entertainment) that he found a (very unprofessional and illegal) doctor at the psych ward whom could turn him into a robot. the writing is extremely well done and descriptive, and the ending of the story actually took me by surprise!!
alone together, the second story, was just ok to me. the sudden, dark “flashbacks” of the pizzaplex animatronics made absolutely no sense to me. i don’t have much to say about this one because it really wasn’t that interesting or surprising to me. maybe other readers will be taken by surprise, but i wasn’t.
the final story, dittophobia, combines fnaf 4 and sister location. when this first came out, everyone was all over the place because it conflicted with the lore of fnaf 4. personally, i already believed that the nightmare animatronics weren’t real, and that crying child was just having night terrors because of his already existing fear of the fredbear’s family diner crew (as well as michael’s teasing and pranks, which made it worse). this story introduces rory, a boy who had just turned 7 and also experienced the animatronic nightmares. this is NOT the same child from the game, however the house is the one from fnaf 4. i want this to be spoiler free, so i can’t go into anymore detail, but this story is very conflicting. i think it was good, but i can’t see how this is connected to the game lore.
this was my first tales from the pizzaplex book, so the mimic epilogue started at an awkward point for me. am i tired of these stories about kids sneaking into an abandoned freddy fazbear’s location? absolutely. it’s overdone at this point, but i understand they need to flesh out the mimic since he was featured in the ruin dlc. i have nothing else to really say about this because i don’t know the full story.

This book contains content some readers may find disturbing. This is a collection of three novella length stories. They are aimed at young teen readers but definitely could be enjoyed by lovers of scary stories of any age. In the first Titled B7-2 we meet Billy a young man who has spent years making his dream of actually becoming an animatronic come true. Through a strange turn of events he gets the chance to start over changed but wiser. But just because he is done with becoming an animatronic doesn’t mean the animatronic is done with him.A creepy fast paced story B7-2 is a great start to this short novel collection. The second story is titled Alone Together. Travis a seventh grader is excited to build his woodworking project a mechanical Sunman that plays chess a historical piece that was a marvel in it’s day. But as he begins to work on it he begins to remember building it before even though he never did . Soon Travis begins to wonder are the memories his or someone else’s could he be haunted by the ghost of a former student? The answer is chilling. In the third story titled Dittophobia Rory is seven years old and tormented by nightmares.Though everything seems normal except for the nightmares he has the feeling that something isn’t right. Thinking it is just tiredness caused by the nightmares he doesn’t think much about it. Until one morning something occurs that makes him question everything he considers reality. Bonus story a group of teenagers decide to explore an abandoned Pizza place where they encounter a shape shifting animatronic known as the mimic .Will Lucia be able to defeat this monster and escape? A fun read Tales From The Pizzaplex is perfect for spooky season.

story 1 (B7-2)
- 9/10
- really good story, with a really good plot aswell. I really like how the story started with the after of the main characters journey. I also think that the authors could have very well either written about the before of his journey, because I would read a whole nother book about the character mutilating himself yk. When the character starts to live again is also just really sweet. The ending was weird because it sounded like the grandma was low key into it, but I liked how she was protecting her grandson by what she did. Greta twist, AND the story had such a sweet and good ending
Story 2 (alone forever)
- 10/10
- once again, this story was amazing, and really sad aswell. The plot is good the main characters chase throughout the book was really fun and can bring up some questions aswell. However, when the big plot twist comes up, it’s amazing, and fits together perfectly. I felt really bad for the main character, and I think it’s safe to say that everyone pity’s him. But the realizations that are made make people think back through the whole story. The ending was also really good. Loved this cute little story
Story 3 (Dittophobia)
- 8/10
-not gonna lie, this story was good, but it was SO slow in the beginning. I mean we essentially read the same thing over and over again, and it got so boring. However, after the characters wakes up (yk) it got really good. After the plot twist, the story was really really good, and the ending was also good, but like…. Okay bud…. Overall, good story, but it just feels like it should have been the first or second story you know?

4.5 out of 5.
I have to say, this volume was definitely the most enjoyable out of the whole series, and despite it making me feel very uncomfortable at points, it really did feel like the strongest set of stories.
B7-2:
I liked going back to one of the previous characters. I remember feeling so uncomfortable with Billy's original story because it felt like they were trying to do some not so subtle mental health things, and the way it ended felt really tragic. Going back to him, seeing how he somehow managed to survive and then get through recovery and settle into life with his grandmother, who in the end turned out to be the most badass character in this whole series, was really cool.
Alone Together:
Trauma. This story caused trauma. Travis was a little cutie, and his whole story was devastating. It calls a lot into question now in terms of the way spirits work in this series, but when has any addition to this series ever given solid answers instead of lingering questions.
Dittophobia:
Rory deserves freedom. Free Rory. Whatever the next set of books is going to be about, they better have a story dedicated to Wade searching high and low for Rory because I'm gonna be mad if this poor boy is left like that forever.
As far as I'm aware, this is the last Tales from the Pizzaplex book, so I'm interested in seeing where the series goes next. I know the next game is Help Wanted 2, so let's see.

The pizzaplex was never in this book.
B7-2 - A great, positive follow-up to a great, dark story. I loved the hope this story had. Billy learning to enjoy life was truly touching and meaningful. I'm glad he got a second chance. Had a wild ending, too. One of the best stories of the series.
Alone Together - It was a little too bare bones for me. It was a mystery without much mystery. It didn't dive into emotions. Not for me.
Dittophobia - It had a messed up concept that never felt as dark as it wanted to be. Felt awfully flat, and the intentional repetition didn't help. More interesting from a lore standpoint than from a story standpoint. Not a fan of the ending.
I'll say what I thought of the epilogue collective story as a whole now. It was a lot of chasing and a lot of repetitive deaths and dumb character decisions. Too many vent deaths, bro. The character dynamics hardly mattered, and moments that should (like a kiss in book six) don't get brought up again at all. There were some gnarly moments, like the blue dog costume bit. But still, it was too long. Biggest isn't best, I guess.
Overall, this series was similar to Fazbear Frights, in terms of my opinion. I wish the series was more consistent in quality, but there were some great stories. Tales from the Pizzaplex had more situational variety than Fazbear Frights, but there was a lot of rinse-and-repeat ideas from those books. Still, there was fun to be had and I'm glad I read them.
B7-2 - A great, positive follow-up to a great, dark story. I loved the hope this story had. Billy learning to enjoy life was truly touching and meaningful. I'm glad he got a second chance. Had a wild ending, too. One of the best stories of the series.
Alone Together - It was a little too bare bones for me. It was a mystery without much mystery. It didn't dive into emotions. Not for me.
Dittophobia - It had a messed up concept that never felt as dark as it wanted to be. Felt awfully flat, and the intentional repetition didn't help. More interesting from a lore standpoint than from a story standpoint. Not a fan of the ending.
I'll say what I thought of the epilogue collective story as a whole now. It was a lot of chasing and a lot of repetitive deaths and dumb character decisions. Too many vent deaths, bro. The character dynamics hardly mattered, and moments that should (like a kiss in book six) don't get brought up again at all. There were some gnarly moments, like the blue dog costume bit. But still, it was too long. Biggest isn't best, I guess.

SPOILERS AHEAD
B7-2
I find this story very confusing and disturbing. I don’t like how grandma became an animatronic but it’s nice that the animatronic died along with her so that’s good i guess. You know the feeling when everything is getting better and falls everything into one piece ONLY for the end to ruin everything? Yep. That’s how i felt about this story. I’ll give it 3 stars.
Alone Together
This is my favorite among the 3 stories. It’s so sad, i felt so bad for travis. Even as a ghost, he felt lonely. He helped HIMSELF to find his own peace. At the end, it was shown that he is the only one who is there for him. Great plot twist, by the way. I almost teared up on the end. 5 stars.
Dittophobia
Man come on. Why did he not escape?! I’m still confused about that. I mean, he got to talk to Wade but then he didn’t escaped? I feel so bad for him. He doesn’t know which is a memory and which is a hallucination. I felt that he was confused when Wade said that his parents never stopped looking for him when the memory he had from his parents is that they didn’t really cared about him. i felt so bad for him and i wanna comfort him so bad. 4 stars.

¡Una buena forma de acabar la saga!
Es de los libros más destacables de Pizzaflex, pues abarca mucho lore, el final del Mimic (el Mimic de los libros al menos), espectacular. Aunque fuese muy obvio, jamás me lo hubiera imaginado y, como suelo decir, fue muy poetico por el lore. Tal vez es un abuso lo descrito pero después de tanto tiempo, es normal que sean redundantes de vez en cuando.
Aunque he sufrido con la saga, el libro en cuestión me ha gustado bastante. No es perfecto pero si disfrutable. La última historia hizo que me mordiera las uñas de la tensión y no esperaba que se solucionara una de las muchas preguntas que quedaron perdidas sobre five nights at freddys.
Me ha dolido que el desenlace de B7 fuese tan rebuscado y amargo, pero no todo se puede tener, al menos supera al libro anterior de la saga.
Nota: 8/10

Review: For a finale book, this was slightly underwhelming, and all the stories were spin-offs or continuations of other stories in the series, but it was hard to catch myself up on what that specific world felt like and the OG story that led to this one. It was a bit disconcerting at times. This was sufficiently creepy, like all the others. Still, my main issue with this entire series is there was never anything specific to connect it to the Pizzaplex besides just going there. I wanted more of Sun/Moon, which we saw in maybe two stories in the series. There were only ever mentions of the Glamrock animatronics, and I just wanted more of the FNAF aspects.

B7-2 не е лоша книга, макар да не е на високото ниво, което съм свикнал от финалите на другите саги за Фреди Фазбеър. Мисля, че си заслужава, най-вече заради първата повест. Тя ни връща един от героите в предните томове, Били, млад мъж, осакатил се ужасно след като изпада в психозата, че е робот. Сега се оказва, че той е оцелял и започва трудна процедура по възстановяване. Излиза от болница и започва да живее с баба си в малко селце, където хората от местната църква го приемат радушно. Но роботът, който някога е искал да бъде сега е автономно същество и го следва по петите…

I found this volume to be overall disappointing, which is not a great way to end the series. I thought the concepts for each story was interesting, and the plots were strong, but each one had a problem that prevented me from enjoying it, finding "Dittophobia" confusing, "Alone Together" pointless, and "B7-2" weirdly mean-spirited.
The cover art is good, but I just hate it.
- "B7-2" gets a 2 star rating from me. It had a strong plot, the characters were well fleshed out, and it fills in blanks of the story left by the games. However, whether intentionally written this way or not, it still has an aggressive pro-detransitioning message to it, suggesting that all feelings of transgenderness are nothing more than a phase that the individual will grow out of (and that forcing them to go to church will help speed up and end that phase). I did not appreciate that underlying message, and I don't think it belongs in a book aimed at literal children/teens.
- "Alone Together" gets a 3 star rating from me. It's fine, I liked it, but there didn't seem to be any point to it.
- "Dittophobia" gets a 2 star rating from me. It's very confusing, and it raises up more questions than it answers. I left the story frustrated rather than any sort of positive response.
But hey, the epilogue story is finally done! (Even if this one seemed to be padded out with a lot of unnecessary extra words.) And with a happy ending to boot! Good for Lucia!

i'm sick to my stomach, how dittophobia, the last story of the series about the pizzaplex, was literally in the sister location grounds when help wanted 2 is happening there and coming soon is twisted.
also i'm so so happy that Lucia made it out alive, i feel like crying. i was rooting for her so much...
but then, i wonder what happened next?
also, is this series still in an au? cause if this mimic was destroyed then what was Cassie's mimic from RUIN?
overall, i prefered the stories from fazbear frights in general but these epilogues were the most exciting thing ive read in a long time. imagine it being adapted into a series, if only!

It was good and well-written. It just felt like it had nothing to do with the lore. I also feel like B7-2 didn't need 2 parts. The second was just strange and the ending felt random. Why did she do that and what was the point? The second story was a lot better. It was way better as a one-shot. It was also way more interesting than the second part of the one with Billy. The ending made everything click in the end. The last story, had something to do with the lore but didn't feel connected other than where it takes place. But Fnaf lore makes no sense so that's expected.

B-7 was a good story, with a weird and good ending. A nice way to refinish a previous suicide story. The second story was an original for sure, and amazingly twisted. I very much enjoyed it. The last story was a nice take on fnaf 4 and SL at once. The end to the fourth story in the back of the book was well tied up and a good incorporation of the spring-lock suit. Altogether one of the best books in the pizza plex series. I recommend reading this book for sure, but make sure to read the others first for full enjoyment.

Unlike Fazbear Frights, I did not like most of the Tales from the Pizzaplex series. This volume may have been my favorite of the 8, but the "terrifying tales" still left some horror to be desired. That being said, "Alone Together," "Dittophibia," and the ending of the end stories were still decent enough to get 4 stars. The collective ending story is what kept me reading through the 8 volumes, but this was the one book that I didn't start skimming through any of the stories.

While the first story, B7 -2 was a continuation of a previous short story I wasn't the biggest fan of it. I thought it definitely could have been creepier.
The second story, Alone Together, was a sadder haunting story that I enjoyed.
The third, Dittophobia was my favorite of all. I definitely wasn't expecting the story to go the way it did.

3.5 stars for this one. I honestly though the first story was boring, and also a little pointless. The middle story was the best one, and the last story was ok. Overall it wasn’t bad, but I feel like some of the other books are much better.

(MAYBE spoilers????) This book actually saved the second half of the series. The end of the third story kinda made me wanna cry, like bro why u gotta do Rory like that? The end of the black pages kinda made me mad, too. I wanted Lucia to die, she was a bitch.
November 15, 2023
Nice book! I like how Billy didnt die!
November 25, 2023
My favorite addition to the book is the toes on the cover :)
