*claps hands loudly* YAY! What a great chapter! Although I did slightly forget who some of the people were. I'm seriously starting to think that there might be something between Nocte and Paine. *suspicious glare* PLease update soon!

Congrats on one year of NY:AHW!

The one year anniversary has come and almost gone, and it sounds as if the end of this story is near.

If I remember correctly, I don't believe you have spent more than a year finishing any single Nocte Yin since you began based upon the published and updated dates on FictionPress.

Well, just wanted to encourage you to keep up the great work!

I loved the humor in this chapter, particularly the soap opera/popcorn comments - so funny! The coup d'etat was an awesome twist.

My one criticism is that you've accumulated so many characters, I'm having a little trouble keeping them straight at this point (though perhaps this is due to the long update times between chapters - shame on you!) I had a hard time remembering who Lord Bloodstone and Melantha were, for example. I also thought the chapter flow was a little rushed, but you did say you wrote it in 5 hours...

Aw yeah. I love Pain and Noir. Noir more, but still, Pain is awesome. I don't have anything particularly useful to say. Still here, still reading, still enjoying. The End.

Nice... so i guess this is what seperates stories on the web and books. Books wouldn't draw attention to random people appearing out of nowhere. ^^
