Hey! I love your story... please do continue... and I love how things going on between lelouch and kallen and suzaku... I live them to realize their feelings to each other... and you really outdone the politics story! I like how the story revolves to all characters of this story!

This is better than the original storyHoping it makes you smile and be inspired to finish this story!

Damn that cliffhanger. There is so much interesting politicking going on, I’d really wish to see what would happen next.

It’s also nice to see so many factions around, particularly Bradley - that guy is an annoying footnote in most fics, but here he really gets to shine.

Excellent read, kind sir! Have my sincerest upvote! This story deserves more!

Thank you for creating this underrated marvel!

Damnnnn! And it just had to be a cliffhangar. I appreciate all your efforts on the fic. It was very enganging in a reverse universe. Even if hopes are slim, I hope you'll pick this up again! Keep writing!

Lelouch was the 11th Prince of Britannia and 17th in line to the throne, not the 17th Prince. Also Britannia is spelled with one 't' and two 'n's

I really hope you continue this it's fantastic!

Please update

Why do you change the names of everything? It's so unnecessary. I get calibur, but you changed the GURENS NAME?! WHY!?

Very cool story!

It's pointless to review a dead fic but anyway. I liked the whole reverse idea and Lelouch full of angst and guilt was interesting to read about, but it felt like angst pushed intelligence out of his head. The escort mission was much easier to plan and follow than the airport one, I don't believe he could have failed the in former if he had succeeded in the latter. Yeah.
[obligatory complaint about the cliffhanger and sigh about yet another dead fic here]

I've never read many reversal stories and I gotta admit, you did a good job with this one so far. I know I'm only half way through but I am definitely finding this to be an interesting story so far. It doesn't look like it's complete at 18 chapters and yet you haven't updated since 2011. Are you coming back to this story?

Wow, Kallen is so...different. hilariously so.

I like this story, the plot moves along quite well.

There are some things I dislike though. Though most of the writing is good, there are some instances of passive voice writing that break SOD somewhat.
It is getting better though in the last few chapters.

Well, somehow I just knew. Somehow I just knew. Somehow I JUST KNEW all this would end on an epic cliffhanger. All the halfway-abandoned stories always end on an epic cliffhanger and then I'll never get to see the ending.

But, c'est la vie. We can't have nice things. In any case, I think the first few chapters were a bit awkward. I'm glad the references to tropes and other media died out fairly early. It breaks the mood when you have Gino shouting "This! Is! Japan!" in the middle of what is supposed to be a dramatic, tense scene. In fact, it broke my immersion in the story, which was really annoying.

Aside from that, you have a bit of a problem with using too many dialogue tags, as well as misusing words that are not dialogue tags, as dialogue tags. Words such as "realised", or "disagreed", or "understood" aren't dialogue tags. It's the vocabulary Nazi in me that resents this abuse of poor innocent words by unthinking writers.

Plot and character-wise, I'm fine with everything, except the fact that most of your plot seems driven by a basic misunderstanding or inability to trust between Suzaku and Lelouch. Particularly in the case of Euphemia. Even if it isn't "safe", does Suzaku not think Lelouch and Euphemia at least deserve to meet and know that they're not entirely alone in the world? It seems rather heartless and unfair of him to hide the truth so easily.

Oddly enough, I find Kaguya extremely distasteful here as well. I know you meant to portray her hidden depths, but that only showed up in one scene and we never get a scene from her point of view to show how she thinks and feels. Subsequently, I find I cannot truly understand her, and I find her naïve, foolish, unlikeable, and borderline sociopathic in the way she disregards the personal feelings of people who are supposed to be her close friends and family.

Other than all that? Loved this story. You have a unique premise, a great plot, and fantastically creative twists and turns. It's a shame that this will most likely never get finished, but I'll take it as it is.

1 chapter in, and I can already tell that this story will make me very angry at the world.

Because the world is full of idiots who overlook something as good as this, because they cannot recognise truly good writing when they see it.

To be fair, the first few scenes weren't all that great. You have a bit of a problem with purple prose, at one point you had Lelouch "descending down the stairs", which is redundant, and Lelouch and Suzaku's introduction scene was very annoying to get through, because you had all this description of their characters, but didn't give their names from the start. I think it would have been much better to just give their names, so the reader can properly focus on their dialogue and appreciate how this Lelouch and Suzaku are different from canon, instead of trying to figure out who is who.

But otherwise? Lovely. It's clear from the start that you have a plan, you know where this is going. The story just gently takes me by the hand and guides me through the plot, and I just want to read more.
