This is wild. This whole story is so beyond anything I've ever read. The switch? Fucking plot twist if I ever saw one. Seriously, I have no words. This is beautifully written.

I am absolutely amazed with this.
I don't know how many times you have been told this before, but you have beeb blessed with an artistic intelligence. You are brilliant.
I have no words to express how much I am amazed by this. Thank you so much for sharing this peace of genius work with us.
You have done a wonderful, wonderful job.

This, this right here, is real skill.
The story captures the terror and horribleness of war with a pinch of future stuff in it. The story is well paced, the story development is amazing, I love the plot twist, and it's just such a creative concept.

Also, did you know I had a similar story in the works?
It was coming to be called Mere Data and the ending was going to be all like;

'But of course, he could never have a fairy tale ending.
After all, he was just mere data.'

But looks like your epic portrayal of war beat me to it! cx

This is great for a fanfic. I mean, I can't believe how much time and effort you put into making fake people look real and tell the delicate balance of reality and the limits of life, but kudos. Do you think it was worth it?

oh god oh god I'm crying wow this is beautiful.

I love this so much! It was so amazing & I'm glad they had a happy ending! :)

I got really drawn into this fic! (:

Perfect. Just perfect.

I was hooked. Love the idea, this fic is amazing.

WOW! What an amazing roller coaster! Well done.

And I'm glad for calling it Shadow Lands - I was thinking of Shadowrun and not The Matrix. Whew.

An amazing plot and I loved the way you related each character's tragic story

Wow such an interesting plot and it's so long! (that's what she said)

This is absolutely beautiful.

I can't stop crying geez.

You've managed to make those fifty thousand words so damned perfect. The subplots of the Hyuugas and the sand siblings and Ino to everything about Sakura and Sasuke and Naruto. The background is well fleshed out, the places feel so real and amazing and wow.

Best fanfic I've read so far. So sad. Temporary forever :(
