Great story! 10/10 would be kicked in my heart's balls again.

Anway Shinji has trust issues, his trust was broken. Even harder than what Mana did to him, and he comes out jack free, so does misato, what a whore and what a cuck, Shinji got character assassinated. Also she feels like no guilt at all for cheating on Shinji, this is legit character assassination. The Asuka arc went nowhere, I think the author just wanted to kill/end the story and chose the easy way out. By also using a cheap "dramatic" moment of Misato cheating on Shinji, which falls flat because it's barley touched open. THE AUTHOR IS LAZY

So the Asuka "arc" just dies off, I have a genius idea, the fic is called "True Love Waits" what if the author does a complete 180*. and turns it into an Asuka x Shinji fic, would have pissed some people off, but it might have been a better ending honestly.

This chapter ruined it for me... Misato might be even worse than Mana, at least from what the reader knows, Mana didn't cheat on him, even if Misato was drunk, that's not a god damn excuse. This is some mega BS, Shinji has 𝑴𝑨𝑱𝑶𝑹 𝑴𝑨𝑱𝑶𝑹 𝑴𝑨𝑱𝑶𝑹 trust issues, his first gf (of 5 or 6 years no less), was sent to spy on him, and keep tabs on him, and record every subtle move he did. Shinji's main problem in this story has been trust, and his new lover, 𝑩𝑹𝑶𝑲𝑬 𝑻𝑯𝑨𝑻 𝑻𝑹𝑼𝑺𝑻 𝑾𝑰𝑻𝑯 𝑴𝑶𝑹𝑬 𝑷𝑶𝑾𝑬𝑹 𝑻𝑯𝑨𝑵 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑺𝑼𝑵 𝑬𝑿𝑷𝑳𝑶𝑫𝑰𝑵𝑮, 𝑨𝑵𝑫 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑪𝑯𝑨𝑹𝑨𝑪𝑻𝑬𝑹 𝑾𝑰𝑻𝑯 𝑰𝑵𝑺𝑨𝑵𝑬 𝑴𝑨𝑱𝑶𝑹 𝑻𝑹𝑼𝑺𝑻 𝑰𝑺𝑺𝑼𝑬𝑺 𝑫𝑶𝑺𝑬𝑵"𝑻 𝑮𝑰𝑽𝑬 𝑨 𝑫𝑨𝑴𝑵. Although I guess it doesn't matter, cause they all die in the end : ) i'm no writer, but I would give my characters more respect, I think Shinji should have broken up with her, then she comes crawling back, and then they all die :). This is why I don't enjoy Shinji x Misato, Misato is a big handful, especially for someone like Shinji (at least when he's 14 in normal fics) which brings me onto another point of BS, Shinji should be able to control his emotions/have more confidence. He had a gf for at least 6 years? even if that was "fake" this isn't the super shy 14 year old, so this fic is has some major BS, Shinji just seems to be mainly a copy past from the og series, with some more flair.

Poor Rei, stuck having to deal with everyone else's shit haha

Well, that ending is certainly a choice. I like it though. The characters struggle all along to find true love and figuratively 'become one' with each other. Then, in the same moment it finally happens, they're blasted into LCL and also literally become one in Instrumentality. That's how I chose to read it anyways.

My other meta read would be that they achieved their purpose as characters in a romance story and then were instantly annihilated as there was no longer any use for them. Fun stuff.

Loved the story its a shame u had to kill them all off though but i can be understand why u did it i look forward to reading more stories like this

I don't know if you'll see this, but don't pay attention to the hate, I actually like the ending hahaha. And I think it's a "good" (in a sense that it is a happy one) ending. At the end, Misato Shinji amd Rei all love each other until the end, what more can people ask for?

NOOOOO. IT CANT END LIKE THIS

That ending is a low blow, what a way to kill the mood. Great story nonetheless, through.

The literary device consisting of using the word "lolwut" must have been devised with something like this ending in mind.

I'm also confused if Asuka's involvement in this story was meant to go somewhere? Because doesn't feel like it has.

Go fuck yourself you mother fucker good story but go fuck yourself

Such an amazing story. The second I've read from you, first being Witness (great story also.). This was a great story, I liked the end. Though I usually don't like endings where everybody just dies, I found this one to be enjoyable... Like it really brought complete closure to the story.

This is a very pleasent read. There we're a few of times where I was afraid I would be disapointed with all the unresolved subplots that seemed to be popping up, but in the end I am left with the feeling that every part of the story that needed to be told was present, without it being weighed down by excess scenes.

First off; Not the ending I would have went with, But I can respect it all the same.

Now onto a proper review. Love'd your pacing and story structure, Biggest flaw I find in alot of writers is that they don't take the time to build things up properly.
The dialogue is good but not great, It tended to be repetitive at times & I feel you could have fleshed out some other area of their lives a bit more - but honestly not much more. Your descriptions and attention to body language on the other hand is rather impressive.
Biggest weak point seemed to be setting the scene and focusing on the Atmosphere.

Over all, 8 out 10. Excellent work sir, and I'll be browsing threw some of your others with high expectations.
