ooo Blue Rose ooo chapter 3 . 11/24/2018 I know its been years, but I find myself coming back and reading this story again. Not sure if you are still around and actively writing, but this story is good and I would love to see more. |
Sofistinha chapter 1 . 10/4/2018 Will you ever get back and finish this master piece? To quote your own Wesker here: "Worthy do not kill Worhty. Not even in retribution." Please, this is worthy, don't kill it. As a very good delusional fan, I won't EVER lose hope that you will come back and finish what you have started. PLEASE, DO NOT LEAVE US HANGING T_T |
HellsWinter chapter 3 . 6/21/2017 I hope you continue this story soon |
Sofistinha chapter 3 . 4/11/2016 W-O-W ! WOW ! I'm speechless. Wordless... Such a mature, interesting and thick story. I'm hopeless here. So worthy. SO FREAKING WORTHY...and ... left off. That's just utterly sad, really. I was sooooo looking forward to this First War of New World... I was sooooo looking forward to this Wesklaire confrontation...and mating process. I hope someday I'll be back to business. Thanks for sharing. Really, thank you very much! Just to let you sink your own Wesker's work : "Worthy do not kill Worhty. Not even in retribution." Be worhty and don't kill the worthy, please come back when you can. PS: English isnt my motherlanguage, brazilian portuguese is. So sorry in advance for any mistakes. |
sych77 chapter 1 . 7/11/2014 Wow, I love this. Years back (has it been that long?) I followed you on LJ and read all your updates, but for some reason or other I got out of the habit of going on the internet regularly and your stories only recently came to mind. I followed the updates for the original version of Rare and it's sequel (Ashes? I think 'ashes' was in the title?) and absolutely loved both, but this is my absolute favourite. Very rarely (in my experience, at least) are people able to write a realistic Wesker-POV, so this has been a real treat. There's so much I love; the dark vibe, the vampiric undertones, the voices in Wesker's head, your style, the lamia. It looks like your passion might have moved away from the RE universe into other areas (judging by the last update being in 2010! OMG then how long has it been since I was reading the first version of Rare?) but I would have LOVED to find out where you were going with this, and - if you do decide to return to this story - will be waiting in the wings to read and find out. |
BLANDCorporatio chapter 3 . 4/14/2013 So ... when does this go on? I say this because the story really kicks into gear at this chapter. Until now, it's been fairly atmospheric, setting up the scenery, with Wesker wandering around, 'enjoying' the occasional noncon encouter with lamias. It's at the end of this chapter that the story boldly proclaims its direction, its chief conflict. And it's not just that Wesker flat out tells us what he plans to do at the end (we all know that a plan, if made known to the reader, will fail in hopefully interesting ways). It's that we expect things to turn out a bit different from what Wesker intended. It's also that in this chapter we are shown the Lamia organization, the Behemoth and its effects, the livestock/breeder program, the UST of Wesker/Claire. A lot more went on in this chapter than the previous ones. It's so ... imbalanced ... plotwise, that if I were to suggest concrit, is a pruning of the first two chapters. This stuff needs to show up sooner. It is a bit of a shame that just as the plot machinery revved up, the road stopped; so you know, if you feel like updating this, that would be swell- I mean to be encouraging :) Also, lol, Wesker's the hero now. Well, of course, in their own mind everyone is. PS: I can feel your usual poetic self struggling to break free of Wesker's fragmented clinicality here: "His throat, a barren stretch of land in need of a strong thunderstorm." (and in some other places too) Old habits do die hard :P |
BLANDCorporatio chapter 2 . 4/14/2013 Indeed, the Hello Kitty notebook is hilarious. And, ya know, fitting- Wesker's moving about in this deserted wasteland, one would expect him to assemble, to have to assemble, a rag tag bunch of scavenged items. That said items are laughter-inducing is a bonus. I like the isolation and the way it's conveyed throughout the story in this and the previous chapter, incidentally. I mentioned the ghosts last time, now I'll mention the gun. This is probably coming from the source material, but still, Wesker's attachment to Samurai Edge seems very plausible in the months/years of wandering about in a deserted world. There's more than a symbolic castration going on when the gun is stolen; it's as if someone kidnapped a companion. I do wonder how many Worthy there are at the moment. If Wesker were in any condition to think straight, he'd come to the conclusion that there are many Worthy, relatively close together, for some values of many and close. You cannot adapt specifically to the unique freak you never saw before- that would be a haphazard mutation. |
BLANDCorporatio chapter 1 . 4/8/2013 Aww, poor Wesker. I had R&B playing in my head by the end. And yes, huge stylistic difference between, say, Wesker's Chosen and this, which is in the same universe, or Shadows and Butterflies (which shares with this the same everything-s-out-to-rape-ya undertones). The prose is done in short fragments. Clinical. They convey a character who's detached, or so he would want to. Also, unhinged. Presumably all those years with nothing but ghosts for company have taken their toll. POV tight. I can't detect slips, anyway. I'm a fan of this style, but that's not important. What's important to notice is how, like a flip of a switch, you changed your style and pull off the change as if this were how you have always written. Even when the R&B starts playing, Wesker's voice doesn't change in color, though it might change in emotion, given what's going on. Did this chapter require several rewrites by any chance? I'm genuinely curious. It reads nothing like the older stories of yours that I've reviewed. Surely this needed some practice to command? |
Oh-insanidad chapter 3 . 1/4/2013 This was really amazing: a fine, original, and extremely well written piece. If you keep this quality and finish the story, I'm sure it could be one of the best -if not the best- fandoms I've read. Where are you?! It has been 2 years, plenty of time to recover and give this a second chance. I sincerely hope you update this. |
GameGoat96 chapter 3 . 12/2/2012 EEEERRRMMAAAAHHGEEERD! Total awsome! You shud continue with this epicosity... p.s. i kinda wanna be in dis fic... |
P.A.W.07 chapter 2 . 8/12/2012 oh... i love the chase scenes and how Wesker's little dream has been sort of crushed. And from what my friend was saying about this ... oh the pervy undertone. he he. :3 Onward! |
MaddAlice chapter 3 . 7/8/2012 I really love your characterization, not to mention the very unique story line. |
Techne chapter 3 . 5/14/2012 I can't believe I never got around to reviewing this last chapter. Must have forgotten about it, but oh well, here goes. Theres really nothing I can say short of how amazing this story is. The details are spot on, you really give a well-round imagine of the gritty would that they now live in after the release of Uroboros. Your OC, Clive, is one in a million. You really know how to take a concept that most people would fail horribly at and turn it into something magnificant. His attitude towards Wesker really shows his resent towards the man for what he did to mankind and I don't blame him. So, they're using those who are still alive to breed more humans for them to feed on. I find this to be very intriguing, as its something that you would expect from an alien race in a movie. Claire's not going to be easily won over, that is for sure. Wesker has a long road ahead of him if he ever plans to convince her to join him. |
Lost Violet chapter 1 . 3/21/2012 I just wanted to let you know that this is a fine piece of writing. The imagery is haunting. One of the best first chapters on here that I had the pleasure to read. |
Charboday chapter 3 . 1/29/2012 I really enjoyed this story so far. I hope you continue it soon. I was sad that chris died though. Although, I was extremely happy Claire survived. |
