I didn't expect that turn of events. This chapter and the plot was awesome!

Aww, Strider has a sad past. He has a lot of strength and will power.

Ooo, that smooth talker. I think it's sweet of Strider to help Wendy and Carla, and keep the other ladies warm during the race. Also, the race was hilarious lol.

Aww, I like that Strider tries to prevent any casualties if possible and made a new friend and understanding with the bird. Also lol Natsu's plan to eat the bird lol

Strider is soo smooth. I enjoyed Erza's test with the strawberry cake xD

Awww, this first chapter and meeting with the guild was adorable! I like how smooth and charming Strider can be.

Love the story pls update

I both hate and respect you... Despite my love of SciFi and Fantasy from a young age, nor the epic movies, I was never a Middle Earth fan, but you have blended his story so well into the world of Fairy Tail that I cannot help except let the lore into my heart now. I've marathoned the story for the past week, ending with Ch47's Prince of Peace, and can only say well done, truly, and that I sincerely wish for you to continue this tale. My deepest respects.

I need an update man. ASAP

I dont know why all the fanfictions have the female characters act slutty. Not to mention the male characters fold like cards, showing secrets about their abillities and talking about their life.

I just don't get any of this, Makarov threatens to expel Strider from Fairy Tail if he kills anyone for basically no reason. Fairy Tail members have killed other people before and they never got kicked out, I thought Makarov would be more concerned about Bisca and Asuka but apparently killing someone is the worst thing ever

"I don't want to…" Bisca trailed off. She wanted to say "rely on you all the time" but couldn't bring herself to say the words. Strider understood, however.

Lol, the last time she refused to rely on him, she got raped and knocked up.

Bisca is the one who decided to go with Grendel despite him having abandoned her once AND despite having a prior commitment with Strider for the mission - you know, the actual guy who loves her?

Yet instead of telling Grendel she's will go with him at a later date or something since she has a prior commitment with Strider to take Asuka out on a mission, she leaves Strider high and dry standing there like an idiot while she runs off with Grendal?!

Are you seeing this shit?

And Strider is the one who has to apologize and this bitch has the nerve and audacity to even accept it?

How is it that Bisca is not even given a ounce of the blame for her stupidity and instead Strider is the one who has to say sorry? Asuka is a child, what's Bisca's excuse for being so retarded? She is a fully grown mature woman, no? Does she not know how to tell what's right or wrong?

And now Strider has to take care of another kid which is not his own - like a fucking cuck, simply because of the mother's stupidity. Asuka I can maybe understand, he disappeared for 7 years straight from the guild, but a new kid? And from the same man as well?

If Bisca has any sense of shame, she should just leave Strider and fuck off in some corner of the guild hall or something, or better yet leave it, because for all the effort and love he puts towards her and her child, being a father figure for Asuka, Bisca is clearly not worthy of any of it.

No matter how much of a badass you try to make Strider by having him wreck that fucking bastard Grendel, at the end of the day, he got cucked into taking care of another kid by that guy and the woman he loves.

Fucking fantastic.

You know what? I actually agree with the Leviosa guy below, I do disagree on some points but now with this chapter though. Strider is looking less and less like an actual character and more like Jesus Christ as the fic goes on.

This part annoys me

("Let it all out," Strider said calmly. Natsu did so, hitting him repeatedly with solid punches and kicks - all of which connected)

This is just pathetic bro. This is straight up Bible shit. Nobody acts like this, why does Strider suffer from self-esteem deficiency? Instead of telling Natsu to act like a fucking adult (he ain't a 12 year old child that can't control his anger, he's a fucking grown man) he offers his own face as a punching bag to let the little man child blow his anger out on? Strider is acting like Naruto did when he got himself beat up by Karui to protect Sasuke lmao.

And what's worse? His supposed "girlfriends" Mira and Erza don't even repremand Natsu for it, not even the slightest, just because he didn't get a bruise - it's just brushed under the rug.

Remind me why is Strider so hung up on "rules" to the point where he's stoping clashes between the GMG participants where even the damn guild masters are not doing shit? It's not even his responsibility. Why is he acting like everyone's daddy?

You're just forcing Strider into issues that have absolutely nothing to do with him so that when he gets shouted at or punched at by the angry party (in this case Natsu), he act like a confused innocent child when they come to apologize to him, which then provides you the perfect opportunity to show everyone how 'nice' and 'understanding' Strider can be when he immediately forgives them by putting a hand on their shoulder (male) or hugging them (female).

This is a really shallow way of doing things, not gonna lie.

I like this story very much, it's one of the better FT OC fanfics out there (pretty large word count too), but when stuff like this happens, it just annoys me.

Anyways, rant over.

I was hoping for the ring poem.
