Hi Jess! That's okay - I know there's a lot! That's why I made the Dramatis Personae. š https://www.patreon.com/posts/jack-jill-part-3-78861048 (Part 3 has a full download)

2022-12-04 00:48:41 +0000 UTCAaah! I'm so sorry it took me forever to reply. You're exactly right that for Janelle it's a matter of principle. If Holly was who Janelle believed she was before, Holly would give up anything to be totally and truly free of the organization which has tortured the both of them. But then, Holly has given up years of her life to Xu. Doesn't she deserve something for the torment she was forced to endure? In a way, Xu's money will help her recover a life she was robbed of. And in that sense, it is also a matter of principle for Holly. She shouldn't give up what is rightfully hers, even if it's coming from an evil source. Right? š You're right that Xu still has many plans up his sleeve. I can't wait to reveal them! As to Mason and Jill's sister, stay tuned! Sorry it took me so long to reply, Nina! Your insightful comments always make my day. š

2022-12-03 23:39:01 +0000 UTCHey Maggie, thank you so much for your comment! My goal is to create a story where the characters are so engaging that even without the protagonist, the readers are still on the edge of their seats with anticipation. š I'm so glad that the story was able to evoke such a strong reaction in you! Thank you again for your comments and your support!

2022-12-03 23:30:25 +0000 UTCWow, Alyson, that was such an in-depth and detailed analysis of the episode. You always have such an astute eye. Honestly, it just makes me want to insert more easter eggs and subtle details in the comic! I love your observations about Janelle and Holly's attitude towards their bodies and how they're using them. It's such an interesting and thought-provoking comparison. Janelle's body has been used against her, whereas Holly has been able to use hers to gain a kind of power within the organization. Janelle is essentially asking her to give up that power as proof that she isn't as corrupt and evil as Xu and his ilk. But it's $10 million! And only for a few more weeks! But, of course, for Janelle it might as well be years. I was so excited to bring back Josie! I can't wait to continue her story for everyone. Thanks again for your wonderful insights. Your comments always make my day! š

2022-12-03 23:30:09 +0000 UTCAn almost new story has sprung from past events. We can see the expression of the efficient and skin-deep talent of the author. The subversive meeting at the end reminds me of the writings of Agatha Christie and one can even perceive the presence of Hercule Poirot. It is also interesting to note the trend towards a balance of power so that Mr. Xu is no longer alone in fomenting and realizing his ambitions. TYE.

2022-11-20 12:46:20 +0000 UTCNooooooooo, Holly why?!? Your happy ending! Itās right there!! On the one hand I understand where Hollyās coming from like if youāre this close to getting 10 mil why stop but I fully get where Janelleās at too. Itās a matter of principle rather than being close to the end. I suppose itās a sunk cost fallacy too. And ooh, as much as mentally iām all about Jill coming out of this situation safe and sound, I kinda want to see Xuās plans come to fruition. Something tells me whoever Mason and Jillās sister are working with is likely worse or more unhinged. Kind of devil you know mentality. But weāll see! Fantastic as always Emory!!!!

2022-11-20 10:18:41 +0000 UTCOMG Ckarya, Aly I feel like I am bit behind you two here... my brain is heating up while I'm reading your theories... I really need to re-read some older parts of this comic... lol ;)

2022-11-16 15:24:11 +0000 UTCMy theory is that Mr Lockridge is a mere multi-millionaire whoās agreed to act as a front for the billionaire Mr Morosini, taking some of the risk of interacting with Mr Xuās business empire in exchange for favourable dealings with Lockridgeās business empire. Either that or heās Morosiniās personal assistant lmao

2022-11-14 12:39:40 +0000 UTCThe plot thickens and thickens and thickens...I love it! š¤Æ Josie as they say in my land has "el guapo subido", that is to say, she is gorgeous, what a pretty face. š On the other hand, as usual, there are many new questions and mysteries to be solved: In episode 1, Mr. Xu asks Janelle if Mr. Lockridge called, because he wants to know how satisfied Mr. Lockridge is with his new acquisition, Josie... So who is Mr. Lockridge? And Mr. Morosini? Why is Josie acting as hostess at Mr. Morisini's mansion? Does Janelle have ethical issues with Holly, but not with Mason? Do they already know Connor has been caught? As we commented in the previous episode Holly was going to start taking hits for her role in Second Dawn, we'll see how she reacts, if she can overcome those "limitations" (it's clear that Xu's comment, stung her) and starts to redeem herself.... but first she has to face Jill. At the moment the score is 1-0 against him. We know that Mr. Xu has spied on the meeting between Holly and Josie, taking into account the result of this meeting, I have no doubt that he will have Janelle followed... You have me totally hooked on this story... and all of them, really! Great job Emory! š

2022-11-13 16:47:13 +0000 UTCJill and Holly's relationship is also going to questionable as well.

2022-11-13 06:35:36 +0000 UTCI fell bad Holly as well. All she wanted was to make Janelle happy. At the same time, Janelle is not wrong by walking away from Holly. She realized Holly was getting ten million from the man who turn them into women. She didn't want that kind of happiness from likes of Xu or his money.

2022-11-13 06:24:45 +0000 UTCGood to see Josie again

2022-11-13 03:05:32 +0000 UTCThe ending... wait what??? holy shit... WOW... P.S. this comic is called Jack&Jill... in this update there was no Jack, no Jill but still somehow sitting only in front of my computer my adrenaline levels are max out in my bloodstream... ā£ļøā£ļøā£ļø

2022-11-12 23:05:09 +0000 UTCThree days until Janelle walked into the mansion of another billionaire. Three days Holly would have had to live without her ten million dollars and eat packet ramen. THREE DAYS. I canāt get over it.

2022-11-12 21:49:39 +0000 UTCOh god there is nothing Iāve been anticipating as much as this update! First page, and I love how Hollyās getting dressed and Janelleās just standing there. It says so much about their respective attitudes towards their own bodies, towards their womanhood, and what about them they place value in. Holly puts a lot of value in her body, even seeks comfort in it, because even though sheās done horrible things sheās survived at least in part because sheās been able to switch off her conscience and just be who/what she was asked/ordered to be. But Janelleā¦ Sheās survived *despite* her body, sheās survived thanks to her determination, and to an extent thanks to her skills and contacts. Her body isnāt something to enjoy ā at least not until a too-fleeting moment with Holly ā and though itās a tool itās not one she gets to wield; sheās just the passenger. Even the way she says to Holly, that Xu āmade her dress as a womanā speaks volumes about her attitude to all this; Holly wasnāt made into a woman, she was made to dress as one. Holly, how much of this do you still believe? Is throwing Janelleās past in her face a calculated move? Or are you desperate, and grabbing for anything that might work? Oh God. Janelle feels *responsible* for not saving Holly. For her becoming what sheās become. Oh shit. And Hollyās *so* desperate. āJust two girls in loveā breaks my HEART, Emory. Okay, I couldnāt live react to the next few pages because I couldnāt stop reading them. WOW. The page with the elevator doors closing! Iām DYING. Oh shit oh shit oh shit. Janelle with the new hair and the sensible clothes. Josie looking fucking incredible. And Emily! And Mason! Masonās been lifting and he looks good again! Iām so excited to meet Mr Morosini, to find out what his relationship with Josie is even *like* (āMyā¦ companionā š). Whenever it happens, however it happens, Iām here for it. WOW. Now to read it again!
