Reviews for Similar Skies, Different World
Cheesecake244351 chapter 7 . 8/22
Sorry for the late review was a little busy preparing for my online classes, anyways on the review.

Nice to know that all of Touma's abilities will be relevant in this one. Can't wait to see how the DxD world, particularly the dragons, will react to an outsider "dragon" that is even stronger than Great Red.

So Cao Cao is really serious about wanting Touma to be his rival huh. Lol at the rest of the Hero Faction leaving Cao Cao and Jeanne to deal with Ophis alone, I have a distinct feeling that they'll both remember this. Damn and here I thought Touma will start getting stalked by the loli snake dragon inadvertently causing him to be labelled as a pedophile. I'm guessing Cao Cao's gonna use that infinity snake to act as a replacement power source for his sacred gear then, seems as though he's back to having the strongest Longinus then. Wonder if his new balance breaker would be a scale mail or a variant of his previous one.

Hmmm, that 'Who?' at the end of Touma's segment sounded a little more than ominous... probably. Has Kamachi ever confirmed that its Touma's misfortune that is preventing from dying or is Touma just that stubborn and harby? Personally though it feels like a little bit of both.

And we're back to the Norse duo again. Still surprised both are tolerating each others company for such a long time, then again both don't want to disappoint Touma when they meet up. Don't worry Thor I know you'll enjoy the battle happy world that is DxD, something the other two won't. Hey Thor meets Thor this will be fun, currently I don't see Toaru!Thor winning due to having lost Mjolnir and being unable to use his Almighty Thor spell. Getting a replacement for his Mjolnir would definitely help him get stronger, definitely wanted to see him use both of his abilities at the same time in the main series.

So Phoenix Tears huh, can't say it's feasible for Touma to rely on that to heal him, considering how expensive they are Touma will be buried in debt. Azazel being curious old troll that he is is now asking Touma all the right questions, problem is even Touma doesn't now most of those answers.

Would have expected Kunou to be the most worried about Touma surprised she wasn't there. It's nice to see Touma being more proactive due to losing the normal life he loves so much by being sent to another world but did he forgot the favor the others gave him in helping find Thor and Othinus. Poor Kunou's gonna and end up worried sick, but nice to see that Saji at least knows were he's going and has his contact information.

So I have a feeling that the poor schmuck that's going to end up cutting off Touma's hand again is going to be a devil. Which one I don't know but my top picks is either Rezevim or Shalba considering how much of a dick they are.

Not entirely sure who that last person is so I'm not entirely sure what that was about. Anyway great chapter as always looking forward for more.

Nice.
Ylnadiir chapter 7 . 8/13
This is probably my favourite chapter so far because of one single thing: Proactivity.

Touma, even in the original novels, was not that proactive. He mostly reacts to events happening to him either by Aleister's design, his luck, Kamachi not knowing how to make him proactive or him just being happy with the villain-of-the-week-until-grand-payofff story structure.

It's probably because it's hard to make Touma proactive because of his desire to live a normal life. By default, he already has what he wants, and the only thing he needs to do is to keep that going by taking out anything that disturbs his already achieved goal.

Because of this, it's really refreshing to see him want something and act on that desire instead of waiting around until the people who might help him might come up with a solution. The few times we see him doing this in Raildex was great.

Not only that, you set this fic apart from the others because of this. What usually happens, especially in a crossover, are the new characters staying with the original cast if the universe they teleported to. After that, nothing. The new character will go on the same adventures of the old characters as it was in canon, and maybe, they'll even say that they're just waiting until the big-shot guy who finds them come up with a solution. In this fic, that would be Azazel.

Authors who do this write themselves into a corner as they wouldn't know what to do with the characters next because more often that not, it's the meeting of characters that they aim for. Some manages to fix it, most don't and give up.

I have more things to review but this was the most important thing I had to bring up. Maybe I'll just send you the proper reviews for each chapter some time.

No meme reviews this time, I'm really glad of your decision to break the status quo and the crossover formula. Here's to hoping you bring us the same wacky adventures Kamachi does.

Something just occured to me. How will you handle Touma's perception of the supernatural from his original world compared to the dxd universe? The magicians in Raildex are "subtle" in their spells compared to the DBZ-lite magicians in DxD, as well as the angel Touma saw back in his world compared to the normal looking ones here.

To be honest I'm disappointed we didn't get to see Kunou's reaction to Touma getting stabbed, as well as his leaving. I mean she is suffering from the Kami-yan disease isn't she.
Guest the Fan chapter 1 . 8/12
So Thor has now met Thor I cant wait for the introduction it's going to be so funny.
Then we can get a battle of the lighting gods to see who's truly greatest. Big muscular Viking warrior vs skinny girly little kid my money on the kid.
FabledLife chapter 7 . 8/12
Well when you think about it, getting stabbed isn't much when compared to the incidents Touma has to go through (getting his right arm chopped/ripped off multiple times, electrocuted full force, smacked into a river by a saint, launched high into a metal beam and fell, caught in an explosion of a carpet bombing, and etc.) and still continues on not being bothered by them (a combination of nerves of steel and implacable man). Now he's gonna get into more trouble in Tokyo... welp, Kamijou walking into it as usual. Will he gain the usual girl trouble later on too?

Cheesecake244351 chapter 6 . 8/9
Guilty as charged, most Toaru crossovers tend to die after a few chapters so this one happened to catch my eye. Secondly both protagonists are high school boys with dragons so it fits. Another thing is that it is not an overdone DxD crossover with great grammar and spelling, god I've gotten sick of all the Naruto ones were Naruto crosses over into DxD and is overpowered. In fact I have not seen a single one were it's Issei that is sent into the shinobi world. Sorry for the rant there, anyway I have an overactive imagination as well so I usually have a lot to say.

On to the story. Kunou bonding with Touma was really cute that and I can see that she is trying to steal Birdway's spot as best little sister, it'll be really funny if/when she shows up in this story alongside the rest of the Kamijou Faction. Seems like the Kami-yan disease is starting to spread in DxD!Earth.

Touma being stingy about food due to being poor is something that never gets old. I have to ask does Thor and Issei actually have the same voice actor? Does Thor even have a voice actor yet? All I know is that two blondes Asia and Misaki do have the same voice actor. I laughed at how they bonded over their shared frustration about their battle maniacs. When you think about it Touma does have a rather twisted view on what is normal so I can see why two don't believe him

You uhh okay there Cao Cao should have known that Touma could never catch a break. And now another weirdo declares that he is Touma's rival. Geeze at this rate who knows how many people will try to pick a fight with him but on the top of my head: Evil Dragons, Vali, Great Red, Siegfried. Heck I can even see Issei declaring to be Touma's rival when he sees how much of a harem lord he is with how easy it is for him to pick up girls. Seems something interesting is happening to Touma but there's no frog doctor to heal him this time so I guess it'll come down to his abnormal healing rate.

Really interested to seeing Ophis interact with Othinis, two gods with the same goal of returning home. Since Othinus already found her home beside her understander she would relate with Ophis as well.

For Touma's abilities outside of IB I have to ask, will the dragons show up here as well?You already said the dragon shell will be relevant so I'm curious if they will show up as well. They already have some of their abilities revealed particularly the Angel Dragon, if so I can see them being used as summons or having their forms borrowed for the dragon shell. Also will any new powers that will be released in GT find its way here into this crossover?

Because GT2 had a really awesome moment with St. Germain which I don't see happening here. Can't believe it took only two novels for Touma to fail in saving someone again which means Tuxma/Dragon!Touma may come back in GT3.

Sorry for rambling too much again, really looking forward for what you have in mind for this story. Here's hoping for the next chapter.
