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😭🫶🫶
