Guest chapter 3 . 11/29/2018 You're killing it. I'm not usually a fan of such detailed prose, but you paint beautiful, vivid pictures. You clearly have great vision for this story, and you're making great headway. Although because of your attention to detail, the progression of your story seems a bit slow. I'm conflicted on whether that hurts important plot points (by hiding them beneath mounds of unessentials details) or whether it's essential to create the characters you're envisioning. Regardless, I'm excited to see what you're working on and see what shape this story takes. You're a wonderful writer, and I know it's only going to get better! |
kevbadguy chapter 3 . 10/18/2018 This is an excellent story! Thank you for writing it! I Can't wait to read more from you. |
sacredorchids chapter 3 . 8/3/2018 This is really good, please continue! |
tricksie chapter 3 . 8/1/2018 Great job! Love the descriptions and how self-aware Sakura is. And I love that it's a Sakura-centric story. You're so right - by leaving off her story in the manga, it allows writers to be as creative as the like! So I can't wait to see what you come up with for her! |
Guest007 chapter 3 . 7/23/2018 Again an excellent chapter. |
Guest007 chapter 2 . 7/23/2018 Nice chapter to read. Well written. |

MindForgedMan chapter 3 . 7/24/2018 Constructive criticism, as requested! Ok, first things first. This is written excellently. Brilliantly even. I feel totally engrossed as I read it, in a way that even professional authors don't often manage. Proper kudos, that's not easy and I'm quite jealous of your ability there. I might study this a bit to see what I can pick up from it. Some criticism(-ish). Unless it's a very odd site glitch, you just updated this story late July 2018. And if so, I really really really hope you start having a decent upload schedule going foward. Three chapters in a year and a half just won't cut it, no matter how well it's written. Once a month or every other month is probably a sweet spot given the length of the first two chapters (third chapter was surprisingly short by comparison). I hope you pick up the development between Naruto and Sakura soon. Note, I do not mean make them fall in love instantly, but I would get kinda annoyed (maybe even very annoyed) if you spend chapter after chapter of them pussyfooting around their issues. That's a humongous pet peeve of mine and I guarantee you no one will enjoy that. As someone who also writes stories on this site in addition to reading far too many, I promise you 99% of your audience will find it boring and pushes them away from reading this for long (especially if the updates are sporadic). It basically comes across as obvious padding to the reader, there's nothing you can do to escape that perception (which, in most cases, is also the reality). Also, it would be a shame if this ends as a tragedy because I really need some good NaruSaku in my life right now. It's selfish of me, but it would be really nice, heh. To summarize. This is awesome, please try to work on quicker updates if possible, don't drag out the romance development because it's an interest-killer, andwhile I'm treating you as a good-story genieplease have a happy ending for Naruto and Sakura together married and whatnot. (I'm practically begging you at this point). |

ultrachols chapter 3 . 7/23/2018 interesting story |
YeagerMeister31 chapter 3 . 7/23/2018 Well that was great so Sakura's gonna start some major training so that's cool can't wait for more there hasn't been many stories that I've read that focus mainly on Sakura although I have one when she's almost the main characters. I want Sakura to save Naruto and admit her true feelings so I can't wait for more |
YeagerMeister31 chapter 2 . 7/23/2018 Well that was interesting very intense I wonder how the others will react to Sakura's fake confession it will be interesting still I hope they get together in the end |
YeagerMeister31 chapter 1 . 7/23/2018 Well this was interesting I'm guessing this is after Pein's attack |
Naru285 chapter 3 . 7/23/2018 and so it continues. very well done, though i am in agreement with that other reviewer: with great literary power comes great responsiblity. you have a powerful sense to your writing, something that can only get better the more you do it. keep it up really looking forward to the next chapters. |
waldo071 chapter 3 . 4/2/2017 Alright, here's the deal, you obviously know how to write your fics. This one is very well done. The characters have depth, the dialogues have meaning and the flow feels natural. I can go on but I feel you get the idea, you have serious talent and I'd love to read where you take this. All that said, the genres you have selected feel like a weight on my mind. I keep waiting for the moment when you'll drop the ball and give me a very unhealthy dose of depressants. So if it's okay, can you please let me know if this fic will have a happy-ish ending. Or will my heart walk away in more pieces than it came in with? Thanks for sharing your work with us. I hope you have as good a time writing as your readers have reading. |
