This is so good. One of my favorites that I keep rereading. The ending with Sasuke, I see so much potential to where this could go. I love it so much and just the way you wrote everything is so incredible. Every little detail just added so much to the story to the mood and feelings as a reader. Thank you and I hope all is well.

This was a nicely written story with characters being incredibly on point. The development of the plot and the characters, especially the interactions... is beautifully and engagingly written. Thank you for sharing this story, I enjoyed every single word of it!I'm anxiously waiting for the next update

Every bit of interaction is so tender and hear warming. Loved every piece of it

DAMN this is honestly the best freaking omg first of all I absolutely love how you wrote Sakura, her relationship with all the guys and the plot! Ugh Lee broke my heart, and Sasuke is still a dick go figure haha absolutely love it you kept everyone so in character it was really one of the best naruto fan fictions I have ever read!

Oh man, it’s been a while since you’ve last updated but I’m really hoping for more! Crazily well thought out and so well written. One of my favorite interpretations of Sakura!

This fic is just incredible

Amazing story, a different one that’s for sure. Truly good and very well written. I hope it reaches the likes and follows that really deserve.

Oh wow! What an amazing story I wish I had found it sooner. I haven't stopped thinking about this fic since I finished it. Engaging plot, good characterizations, beautiful writing; this story has it all. I thought the romance was particularly honest in its portrayal-much more realistic than its canon source. I'm not sure if this is a completed work, but it stops at a satisfying part, so I'm not complaining. Again, this really is a wonderful piece of writing. Thank you for sharing it.

This is so damn awesome I'm disappointed in myself for not finding it sooner

alright now that most of the shock has worn off, here are some thoughts:

-this fic was so well crafted. little details that seemed unimportant (like the plum) came back around in such a big way and it was perfect. the way that Inner's resurgence was a result of Sasuke's mangekyo was a surprising choice but it made so much sense. The plot itself dragged me along- i wanted desperately to figure out what was going on.

-the characterization was so solid all the way through. Everyone was perfect, including the way they all interacted with each other, and the way the relationships grew and changed. Special shout-outs go to Sasuke and Neji, both very complicated characters but who you portrayed in such a lovely multi-faceted way. Honorable mention to Tenten, who with broke my heart with only a tiny bit of screen time.

-I'm not sure I can ever forgive you for killing Lee, but the way that his death managed to elicit such a strong reaction from me is a testament to your writing skill, and to your credit it wasn't just something that happened and then was brushed off. Lee's death had ramifications. But goddamn did it hurt.

-I'm not sure if this fic is complete or abandoned, because it's not marked complete and it felt like there were still some missing/unaddressed pieces- I'd have like to see Tenten and Neji reunite, for example, and there's all the political ramifications of the events of the story that would need to be sorted out, but either way it seems that the story as a whole has been wrapped up and I'm mostly satisfied. This has quickly become one of my favorite fics.

what the fuck. i was going to wait to get to the last chapter before commenting but. what the fuck. this chapte me. like tears down my face yelling at my screen BROKEN.

anyway I'll give more coherent thoughts when i finish.

This is going into my favourites list. I loved your characterizations, you ability to weave the plot together. The character interactions felt very real. I’m very glad I took the time to read your story.

Oh how tangled the web that is weaved, is Sakura the spider and everyone else flies? Thank you so much for giving Sakura actual flesh to her as a character. It is a most welcome change. Keep up the excellent writing and waiting with bated breath for the next chapter!

Absolutely brilliant story! It's so great to see well-written and thoroughly thought out Sakura-centric stories. I love that you decided to bring Inner Sakura into the plot. You write your character interactions very naturally and I find your writing style very appealing; it's so easy to get lost in the story and forget where I am in reality! Thank you so much for sharing your story and I look forward to reading more from you!

Oh man. This is one of the best fics I have ever read.

First and foremost, your english is /gorgeous/. The entire fic is just extremely well-written. I've generally gotten used to reading fics for a combination of fun and interesting plot, expecting okay-but-not-great writing. You blew me away. It reads as well as any published novel. Truly, every arc was just a delight to read.

The arcs themselves were also quite well done. I especially appreciated your command of pacing - it never felt rushed, but never dragged on. You handled the story's romantic elements incredibly well, I also think. The progression of Sakura's relationships with Shikamaru and Neji felt very real, and more than that, each character really seemed to behave with the intelligence they (should) have.

On that point, I also think you were incredibly adept with the characters. I recall you mentioned in the Neji-PoV chapter that it was kind of an experiment, but throughout the fic I found you incredible adept at flowing from one character to another. You really seemed to capture not only their internal thoughts, but also the way they look at the world and parse what happens. Each perspective felt distinct, and each was perfectly executed.

I'm not sure if the fic was intended to end here, or if it lies somewhat abandoned. If the former, it works quite well - the arcs resolved, a bit of tension left with Neji, perhaps, but nothing that doesn't work just as well in the reader's post-story imagination rather than your words. If you had planned on writing more, well, please do not feel any pressure from me to continue. Your story was one of the best I've read, and as I've said, just such a pleasant experience to read. One of the best fics I've ever read.

Incredible work, once again, and best of luck in any and all your future endeavours.
