Hey Everyone! I Just Wanted To Say That This Is True And That I Was Stupid For Not Giving This Any Thought

Hey everyone! I just wanted to say that this is true and that I was stupid for not giving this any thought when I was younger. I definitely just remembered those lines because they resonated with me but I shouldn’t have done that and I should’ve been more mindful about credits.

Yeah it definitely wasn’t one chapter— I need to clarify that I saw the Kiyotaka thing first, then I got “inspired” a few weeks later and decided to write stuff about IOTS but I didn’t start posting because I was still writing. It’s then that I saw the other posts and was like “Oh there’s more!” and I read them. Then school came and I almost forgot about it and I wanted to start writing again and I guess I thought “I really like these lines I’ve heard somewhere before” so I added them but I was idiotic enough to not research better because I really did copy stuff now that I’m looking at it.

I would like to deeply apologize for the inconvenience that I have created and i just want you to all know that I’m not doing this simply because I’m caught red-handed but because I actually feel stupid for ignorantly taking lines and ideas that I remembered from another person. I started to forget about IOTS as I grew until I saw this post and I thought back to it.

Also I don’t want to keep the IOTS posts up since I feel ashamed to look at them now but I will be keeping this post up to hold myself accountable for the thing I’ve done and again, I sincerely apologize!!

Uhh I don’t know if this was the right approach or if I apologized correctly but I hope you all don’t hold any hatred towards me— I’ve learned to grow from my mistakes and again, I’m sorry from the bottom of my heart!!

I might be reaching somewhat but was that Island of the Slaughtered thing inspired by the Hope’s Peak rules ghosts made by Mickules? Couldn’t help but notice the similarities between the two such as the ghosts having forms manifested from their forms of death, specific guidelines to follow lest you suffer the consequences, a final rule basically meant as the point of no return(just with the consequences being accidentally letting Junko loose rather than Chris being bait for the survivors to escape)…

OH I’VE SEEN THEIR WORKS BEFORE and I must say I love them SO SO MUCH. I actually only saw the Kiyotaka art at that time and I was like “i really like this”

and then a few months later i get this idea (which is Island of the Slaughtered) and I remembered the Kiyotaka ghost thing and i was like ‘maybe i could write something like that for fun’ and then yeah i was really inspired

Then after i finished the series i found Peko’s art weeks later and i was like “THERE WAS MORE??”

CREDITS TO @mickules FOR THE ENTIRE IOTS THING I LOVE YOUR SERIES and thank you for helping me find the artist anon😭🫶🫶
