Randomcaz chapter 25 . 4/28 Hope to one day see the story continued! It's very immersive and we'll written! |
Guest chapter 25 . 1/10 I know its 2020 now but I just got through to the end. Recognizing that this isn't likely to ever be completed, I still greatly enjoyed this. I very much appreciate your studies and characterizations. Motives and thought processes all feel very organic and genuine. Darker explorations of character thoughts and potentials are very interesting and enjoyable. I also loved your insights into the nature of Kurama's relationship with Hiei and Yusuke, and visa versa. Genkai is badass and I can only hope to be like her when I'm old. Vocabulary usage is great, however sentence structure is sometimes confusing. Spelling/grammar on point. Again, myself and others I am sure would love to see more of this if you ever find your way back here. Long live Yu Yu Hakusho! |
muie5 chapter 8 . 10/8/2015 Okay. That flashback was the best so far. It had me laughing and smiling all the way through. How freaking adorable! |
jcampbellohten chapter 25 . 10/4/2014 Nooooooooooooo! Why must it be incomplete!? Again, I thoroughly appreciate that you have great grammar. Further, you sort of differentiate POVs by the complexity of the narrator's vocabulary. Your characterization and speech patterns/dialogue have been superb. My only problem there is with the Yusuke/Keiko fight, but I'm not sure how much of that is just me being unhappy with them not doing well and how much is not being able to see Keiko wanting to be next to the action and watch Yusuke get pummeled and be in danger. I didn't see it coming, but I'm glad Hiei's alive again. Why is he just walking, though? Wouldn't he want to get there as quickly as possible? I doubt he could tell from how far out anyone could sense him and just slowed down when he got in range for appearance's sake. Out of curiosity, is his Jagan glowing gold now because Enma gave him a similar power to the Orb? The only thing I don't like is how 99% of the time you say "the Ma/Rei/Ningenkai" instead of "Demon/Spirit/Human World," (you/rei)ki" instead of "(demon/spirit) energy," always "Reigan" instead of "Spirit Gun," etc. As a viewer of the English dub, I've been substituting those words every time I see them and it gets annoying. I guess it has something to do with making "Tenkai/Heavenly World" more subtle, but still. At any rate, it's your choice what terms to translate, that's just my personal feelings about it. /Please/ finish this! I'm very much looking forward to it! |
jcampbellohten chapter 23 . 10/4/2014 Hiei's sentencing scene was a great stealth-good-guy moment for Enma. I'm hoping for Hiei to swoop in on the battle in a blanketing wave of fire. It would be completely badass. |
jcampbellohten chapter 21 . 10/4/2014 And this is where Keiko and Shizuru become useful, I bet. Still a wonderful read. I'm getting upset, because based on how much is left I don't think this was completed and I want to read the rest. |
jcampbellohten chapter 18 . 10/3/2014 Enma at the end? Superbly written Genkai! |
jcampbellohten chapter 16 . 10/3/2014 If the Dark Tournament happened in February of 1993 in this story as I gathered from previous flashbacks, wouldn't Yusuke be in the middle of his six-month training period with Genkai the October prior? Or, was that earlier and he spent just one month with her before the tournament? Anyway, the dream: was Hiei's consciousness merged with Yusuke for a minute? Because the sentence starting with "His own kills..." sounds a lot more like Hiei than Yusuke to me. It also explains why they didn't see each other. |
jcampbellohten chapter 15 . 10/3/2014 Is Yusuke not powering up in his desperation over losing one of his friends? That's the general pattern-when Yusuke's in a fight, at least. It also would help with the fight. Then again, that's most likely what the blue Kurama was seeing was about. |
jcampbellohten chapter 13 . 10/3/2014 So Donari and Gendou were originally humans? |
jcampbellohten chapter 12 . 10/3/2014 The animators tended to stop coloring in blood as soon as it wasn't immediately relevant. Gaping wounds would invariably stop being bloody before too long, turning into a bunch of "damage" lines-even in the middle of a battle-and bloodstains on clothes were even more temporary. Kurama's battle with Karasu was one of the few exceptions during the battle, but that was probably because there were too many of them for it to go unnoticed if they stopped coloring them in. |
jcampbellohten chapter 11 . 10/2/2014 Great characterization of Yusuke and Genkai, and their interaction. I also like how you put some original theories out there with the demon mindset stuff she explains. You also have uncommonly good (for this site, at least) grammar, which I deeply, thoroughly appreciate. |
jcampbellohten chapter 6 . 10/1/2014 The flashback has Koenma alive in 1263, but in the 1990s, when the series is set, he's exactly 700 years old. |
jcampbellohten chapter 5 . 10/1/2014 Very, very well-written so far; the prose is wonderful, and the characterization is good. The dialogue is great and more in-character than the last story that I read. (I'm mostly thinking of Yusuke-the last one I read wasn't good at his witty sarcasm, or at least his insults.) However, there are a couple of sentences (I think both in this chapter, but definitely one) that go unfinished, like the end was deleted. The last word of the second one is "I'd," I believe. |
Lachesis chapter 25 . 8/8/2014 There are so few chapter stories with good fights in YYH anymore. Its hard to scratch my itch when I have one. I saw that this wasn't completed but you were working on it. By the time I got to the cliffhanger on the last chapter (25) I logged in, just for this review, lol The fight was clearly written, and I have no complaints there. Writing fights is hard work but I didn't see anything to criticize on. I liked the fight between Yuuske and Kieko too. I can't wait to see what happens next. |
