It's a shame that the format is single chapter stories and not longer tellings of The Ultimate One. Anyway I hope Mr. Void herald will write more

It keeps Ryan's personality, his usual demeanor but it adds the whole Psycho twist (I've read up to chapter 56 of Perfect Run atm so I can't elaborate on if Ryan gets dark dark).
And of course it answers some fans burning questions of what would happen had Ryan done this or that. Hope we get more content like this soon!
Cheers, and thanks for all your excellent works :) - Entitled InfracaninophileRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Hey!!! I can't believe how lucky I am!! We all are! This is funtastic. Alright, I just read the first chapter, and, I'm already convinced! It's, as expected, over the top, one of the best, superior, the original fanfic, grimdark, harsh, but unfortunately plausible. And, and, Shorty was saved! Well, kind of, but, but, still. And Ryan, he's so much more OP, but with a tragic twist, at least in the first chapter.
I can only highly recommended! Goash! This story was totally unexpected, and it's a joy!! Enjoy it too (of course after reading the original The Perfect Run story by the author - here or on Kindle). - GreenPhoenixRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Great work as always. I am a little surprised by what created the combo, but am quite happy with how it turned out. Looking forward to more of your work!
I imagine most of the future chapters are going to get rather dark. Futures where Ryan decides to trust no one and stay secluded among others. - MK bk-201Royal Road★★★★★ 5.0For anyone who has read the main story i strongly recommend for you to read this, here we see how different possibilities would turn out, for now we only have 2: if Ryan had become a Psycho by taking another elixir and he and Len would have taken each other elixir, both are great, the worst ending and a happy but not perfect ending, im hoping to see a couple more before the author end this.
- MrAlwaysRightRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Amazing like always. I was randomly browsing RoyalRoad and just clicked Void Herald's profile and then saw this.
All three chapters are "What if...?" scenarios and all of them are amazing. I don't have much more to say since you probably just read The Perfect Run already?
So stop reading this review and get on with reading these chapters damn it!
Eeesh, I need more words (200 is the minimum).

WHAT!?
ok for some reason this is still not enough. I need more words! You know what, how about some dad jokes!
"I'm afraid for the calendar. Its days are numbered."
"My wife said I should do lunges to stay in shape. That would be a big step forward."
"Why do fathers take an extra pair of socks when they go golfing?" "In case they get a hole in one!"
"Singing in the shower is fun until you get soap in your mouth. Then it's a soap opera."
"What do a tick and the Eiffel Tower have in common?" "They're both Paris sites."
"What do you call a fish wearing a bowtie?" "Sofishticated."
"How do you follow Will Smith in the snow?" "You follow the fresh prints."
"If April showers bring May flowers, what do May flowers bring?" "Pilgrims."
"I thought the dryer was shrinking my clothes. Turns out it was the refrigerator all along."
"How does dry skin affect you at work?" "You don’t have any elbow grease to put into it."
If you read all the way down here, you're an amazing person.
*blows kiss* - OzyenRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0This is one of my all time favorite Royal Road fictions. The humor is just right, the violence is entertaining and the MC is a real fuckin character. I can’t count how many times I’ve laughed out loud when reading this. It’s influenced a lot of my later reading, and I’ve never really been able to find anything that quite scratches the same itch.
- Weird EyeballRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0The stories are like miniaturized deep dives into what could have been, with a lot of details added and kept, like the semi-obvious romantic tension between Wyvern and Enrique.
All in all it's a great add-on to the main story, with my main complaint being the low amount of chapters and the lack of the JasminexRyan I'm waiting for (not trying to sound rude or anything). - WreaverRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Alright this is the good stuff here ladies and gentlemen. If you liked The Perfect Run and are sad to see it done then this is right for you if you wanted more of it, but just know that these are stand alone one shots, much like Mother of learning' au chapters and marvel's what if's.
- YoetingRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0If you loved the perfect run, and are invested in the characters then yeah this is a nice read, it's interesting seeing some of the possibilities.
My only real complaint would be how short it is, it is incredibly short, but truth be told im very glad this exists at all, most authors definitely wouldn't have bothered making something like this. I absolutely adored the perfect run so i am EXTRA glad that this exists.
