Will there be a second book for this? It is really enjoyable.

This is so good. I know this hasn't been updated in 2 years but I hope book 2 is still in the works

I desperately need a sequel

"I'm sorry to those of you who are getting sick of the relationship-y drama, sometimes I get caught up in my character's head and just end up wasting time"- Quoted from you

Just wanted to say that I actually enjoy those sections as much if not more than some of the more plot oriented. I've been of the mindset that relationships more than action or events drive a store recently. So don't think there's anything "wrong" with putting more focus on character growth and thoughts. Now maybe some of those sections could be cleaned up or streamlined, if thats what you meant then I misread that, but don't let the need to get to THE PLOT make you skip character moments you want to write. It's a different kind of story, but it's not a bad decision.

I'm actually not sure this was necessary to write out but its 3 in the morning and my personal filter is a rusty hubcap so here ya are. While I'm rambling I just wanted to say that I did leave a more negative review with the same temp name and just felt a little bad about it because I don't mean to get on authors cases, I get invested in the idea behind a work and can sometimes get a little carried away in providing my point of view. Even if I don't agree with your creative decisions I've always felt that the most important part of fanfiction is that someone is having a good time writing it, anything else secondary to that and from your authors notes you had/are having? a good time writing this so power to you.

I think you've made Ruby a bit too young to be so accomplished. She literally shouldn't have had the time to set up the networks you're giving her unless she inherited them from someone else ala shadow broker. This is an entertaining fic but the romance and actual criminal aspects are a little clunky at times. That said I can forgive the crime aspects being clunky as if you had the life experience to write that perfectly accurately I would be concerned and I'm not going to expect someone to do in depth research on it to write free RWBY fiction. Just try and keep it a little realistic (obviously not for this fic, but any future works). Ruby is starting to suffer from being too good at everything. Worldwide network of orphanages, worldwide information network from people shes personally interacted with, wanted worldwide and nobody can catch her despite her lackadaisical tradecraft? It's a bit much to accept.

That said I'm reading this like it takes place in GTA V and its doing wonders for my suspension of disbelief.

Sorry this was mostly a negative review, for what its worth I enjoy your writing enough that I've gotten this far in the fic before saying anything. The technical writing and prose is better than a lot of fanfiction. Some community favorites I can't even get past the first few paragraphs. Best of luck with your future projects.

Oh my god! That was freaking awesome! More damn you! I need more!

Sequel! Sequel! I need a sequel to this story. I wanna see how Ruby and Weiss further their relationship and see Weiss finally confront her father. Great job by the way!

Usually when I leave a review I'll give a note to anyone who is considering reading this. So if your passing by and contemplating reading this fic, you most definitely should. The story is very unique and it's entertaining all the way through. There are some things I think you (the author) could work on, though. First thing I noticed is that some of your characters just seemed to disappear out of the story (Ozpin and Glynda) after their one/two scenes were finished. Also, you had characters that seemed to be there just for the sake of being there (Ren and Nora) when you could've replaced some roles with someone like Jaune. (I believe his importance was mentioned, but I cannot recall it.) I remember you directly pulled an Ozpin quote once which I personally don't think is a good thing to do. I have to comment on the lemon/lime scene because it was honestly terrible. Instead of just mentioning that it happened, you barely described it in one paragraph. If your not gonna carry through with the lemon, it's perfectly ok to skip it and just mention that it happened. Aside from those pretty small details, I must compliment you on the story itself. It's incredibly unique and doesn't get old at any point. The story itself was very well balanced (though I personally would've enjoyed a bit more fluff, but that's just me.) The detail you get into for many scenes provokes interest without getting too descriptive which is pretty hard to do. There was no apparent grammer or spelling issues and most of the story is very well written. The detail you put into the main characters is very great. They are still unique to this story but they don't stray too far from cannon (with the exception of Ruby but if she was more in character it wouldn't fit in the story well at all.) All in all this is a terrific story and I'm very glad I read it. I will definitely be looking for the sequel.

That was awesome. You're right, it's been a helluva ride.
When you posted this last chapter, I reread the whole fic.
I was not bored about rereading it at any point.
You did a helluva job. I'll be looking for the "official" version on Wattpad or wherever you decide to post it.
Looking forward to your next entry.
See you next time.

Sooo, the entire first chapter is nearly identical to the second chapter of Stolen Ice(an Elsanna fanfic).

This is not a thing you should do.

Very nicely done. I rarely ever try to read anything outside of their usual worlds but this one really caught my interest. I hope to read more.

My frustration cannot be expressed in the English language, luckily I have a few choice arabic, Persian, and Japanese words. Beautifully done, though in my haste to catch up I'll have to reread it. (To which I shall gladly accept my fate)

The person of interest references are really shameless

Cool chapter! We see the framework of the ultimate heist, the new decision/dedication of Ruby to not actually give up once they scrub themselves from the system but instead wage a guerrilla war against the Consortium (cue X-Files music), and of course what you get for someone who can get just about anything - information. You are quite the romantic Weiss. ;-) Though, Ruby does a really nice job of showing Weiss how she feels, how great it feels to help out others, and how every good deed is not always punished, but is often appreciated, as seen in the locals' willingness to make this special night.

Got a bit intense at the end there. ;-)

Thanks for sharing this with us! Looking forward to the installment. Chapter 50 is speeding toward us... Eek!

Wow. Just wow.
