FallenMaid chapter 36 . 7/3 Blade of Justice, I hope you are okay and will return someday to the story. I'm really not sure if you will read comment... but nonetheless I want to give it a try. I'm not native speaker so keep it in mind. I will be honest with you... This story is the best neptunia fanfic I've read so far. You can believe me because I have literally read half of fanfiction. Most fanfics are filled with pure shipping stuff, OC harem stuff or absolutely trash. You see it's already 2020, IF and Compile Heart opted to not create serious games (only spin-offs) making it purely fanservice series what I think harms the series a lot. It attracts the certain part of industry that doesn't really care about plot and moral values. The situation can be described as wasted potential. Where you can find such unique setting? Landmasses, goddesses that ruled over them, potential political conflict, multidimensional universe... Why not to explore it? However this story is different. Besides heavy plot you nailed character development. With every chapter you want to explore dimension's mysteries more and more still managing to catch readers off guard by unexpected twist. This is what the fanbased community and even the original series fail to do. One of the best attempts by creators was conquest ending. Despite being illogical at some extent it was nice change pace for neptunia and showed that the series could be much more than just cute girls with stereotypical girly behavior. Since Re:Birth 1 as alternative dimension has been introduced it opened endless possibilities for CH and IF but they didn't use them. This is why seeing you inactive makes me so sad. I've read Nanya stories but don't like them for lack of original ideas (this writer literally stole your idea from this story), being spontaneous and containing sexual themes (my personal preference). Charlotte Eraviel was interesting to follow but it looks like the writer has gone inactive for almost year for some reason. I'm so fascinated with neptunia series and have many great ideas but damn I suck at writing (English ,as I said, is not my language). Having high standards I can't let myself publish stories with half-broken language. If you read this remember that there are people who are still waiting and hope that you return. I think that I was able to express only half of what I truly feel. At least, I hope it is readable comment. With best regards, FallenMaid |
stungun.wol chapter 36 . 2/24 Reading through this work as it is, I can't believe how incredibly well done it's been. As of this writing this appears to be the last chapter of a work that has sadly been left incomplete for years. Neptune has been written perfectly, and the exploration of how she handles a world this utterly horrifying feels spot on, just how I imagine she would handle it. Everything seems true to form to Neptunia, in the girl's struggle to bring some light to a world where the sources of hopes and dreams have all turned into nightmares. She struggles against what seems truly hopeless, in most cases unable to see the fruits of her actions, how the most unexpected things she is doing are causing ripples, unbeknownst to her, that spread hope and healing to a number of people who are seemingly lost to trauma and despair wrought by the worst kinds of abusive personalities. It's stunning just how the antagonists of this world, the CPUs, seem to be treated as narcissists and psychopaths and the effects it has had on the CPUs seem all too real. But yet, hope that seemed to have disappeared comes back to this deconstructed world in the form of Neptune, who does what she has to do, what she always does, in all of her surreality that is perfectly embodied by her character. And how she becomes her best in the face of things around her becoming their absolute worst. This chapter leaves us unfortunately at a great cliffhanger, with the characters you've been practically praying for having narrowly escaped death through contrivance after contrivance (while some would consider this to be bad writing in any other story, it perfectly fits when you consider the source material)... finally having what seems like a moment of peace, with Neptune shaken like never before in her life, but still alive, and a very important revelation about the nature of this world's CPUs. And like a contagion, hope has infected this rotten world thanks to Neptune's presence, almost like a backwards disease that could heal instead of harm. I only wish this story could have been continued further, as there are so many questions to be asked. I want to know more about why the CPUs are the way they are, and most importantly, how this world's Neptune could have apparently been such a kind and caring person despite the clearly evil power that seems to nourish the CPUs. Is it just because Neptune is always Neptune, regardless of what world she's in? And then the obvious questions are still unanswered, like what brought this Neptune here... I don't know if you'll ever read this, but if you do, I want you to know that someone's read your work and thinks it's incredible. Judging from what I've seen on Reddit and DA where it's discussed, I'm not the only one either. And if you ever come back to finish this work someday, well, you absolutely have my attention. This is the kind of fanfiction that could have fanfiction of its own written about it - it's just that good. |

qwertzone11 chapter 36 . 4/18/2018 While I am saddened by one and a half year of your absence, I will be hoping that you will be able to continue writing. I do not know what has happened to you, Blade of Justice, but if you are alive and still living well, then even if you may never read this comment ever in your life, I hope that you may have a happy life. ...and if you are dead, then rest in peace. - - - Well then, without further ado! It is time to review! Although I am quite inexperienced in reviewing, I would like to let you know that I am VERY happy with your story. It is not often that one would find such a great fanfiction to the degree where I had to shed a tear while reading about Rom and Ram's past. While it is still uncommon to read "yesterday's enemy is today's friend", it is quite rare to read scenes regarding the doubts of trust between Arfoire and Neptune. I like this. This story is a good one, seeing as not only the plot is intriguing, but also the setting (the place) and its influence to the characters. In my opinion however, there are still many mysteries in this story. Naturally, such things might have been explained had this story been continued. For now, here is a list of my questions: - How did Crupt Blanc become the way she is? - What is Crupt Noire and Crupt Vert like? I read that one is ignored while one is in prison. - Tari is here as well, so is Rei here as well? - Will the people Neptune know like Plutia, Peashy, Compa, IF, Tamsoft, etc. also be in the story? - Will characters from the later Neptunia games like Uzume also take part? - Has Nepgear and co. from Hyperdimension already noticed Neptune is gone? I know it is less than a week in Cruptindustry, but considering the differences in time and past experiences with multiple dimensional travels, they **could** notice it sooner? - What had happened in the first chapters? There was a storm which made communications unavailable? - Will Crupt Nepgear ever find Neptune? How will she react to her? These are my only-answerable-if-the-story-progresses questions, but there is one which stand above all of them: "What is Crupt Nepgear doing?" Well then, this will be all for my review of the year! (Because I seldom review fanfictions, let alone stories.) To other readers who reads this (relatively) long and boring review, I hope y'all have a nice day! |

Saber Knight chapter 21 . 8/20/2017 Welp, this story has got to be one of the most depressing stories I have ever read. |
Saber Knight chapter 11 . 8/20/2017 No, no, no, no, no, no. *posts review* No! |
Saber Knight chapter 10 . 8/19/2017 Yep. Knew it. Uni! Red eye sniper rifle. |
Saber Knight chapter 8 . 8/19/2017 Just going to take a guess, but I have a feeling that that mysterious person is either A) Uni, or B) Noire. For whatever reasons. I'm probably utterly, terribly wrong. But, hey, who knows? |
