Hi! I just finished reading "A Bell to Ring," and oh my lord, where do I start? First of all, I wanna say your connection with music is unreal. The way you match every song to what's happening is beautiful. The unreleased Lana and "About You" by The 1975 gave me pits in my stomach it felt like I was transported into their world. Your modern-day use of slang was perfect it almost made me wish I had read it in the summer as it was releasing so I could have a stronger bond with the story. I loved all the side characters you crafted them perfectly. The trio drama scene was absolutely amazing.
I’m gonna be completely honest here I don’t usually read stories I just scan through them and read what seems important to me. But with your story, I actually caught myself reading and wanting more. This story is different from others I’ve read but it gave me pits in my stomach a feeling I don’t think I’ve felt yet reading fanfics. Your writing is absolutely amazing. I will say I hated the whole Floch situation I was honestly annoyed. But as I kept reading, I understood it was good for the plot. Personally, it’s not my cup of tea, but I genuinely can't imagine it without it. I would’ve loved to see them throughout uni together tho
But the ending made up for it completely. that ending was beautiful. Truly beautiful. It touched me personally. I read stories for the fun and light-hearted play on AOT characters, but that ending was unworldly. It genuinely touched my heart and made me realize I will find my bell to ring soon & it will gonna be okay. But besides everything, this story was amazing. I had no idea what a ride I was in for and how it would make me feel. this story I fear this story impacted my silly little life. I will definitely reread it or just go back and read that last chapter whenever life feels too hard or complicated . and yes, all the other stories I read are amazing, but I fear this one will leave a mark. please dont stop writing Thank you!
