i really like this a lot. despite sasusaku being told from a different pov i really felt the love in the subtle way sasuke always has. its the things that left unsaid or written between the lines and blank periods not shown in the text that make my imagination run wild with how much sasuke must care for sakura. cute and amazing story. it was enjoyable reading from karins pov even if i dont care about her character regardless.

wow! this fic is so good! I loved the plot, Karin's P.O.V., the writting, the characters, and the ending. Yes, Karin! Go after what you deserve. Thank you for sharing!

This is sooo beautiful. I like the development on how Karin's sees Sasusaku. One of the most beautiful Sasusaku fics from another person's point of view. 3 Love love love the strong emotions of Sakura and Sasuke on the third chapter, it is so raw, I can feeel it, haha, and I also love how Karin reacted to it and changed her views on Sasusaku. 3

Ever since the quarantine, I have been finding comfort from reading a ton of fanfic. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for writing this piece. We readers tend to forget just how much effort and time is being sacrificed to bring forth this quality of work. This appreciation comment is the least I can do to express my gratitude. Thank you dear author for the wonderful read, and keep up the good work! Keep safe always

It would be a amazing to read how sasuke’s and Sakura relationship goes. I enjoyed your story

Dear author... so many thoughts and feels at the conclusion of this fic! Once again, I thought Karin was written meticulously here. Personally, I love Karin in this story. She's strong, she clearly built herself up from nothing, and she has every right to be proud of who she is and all she's accomplished. Maybe some readers might think "wow Karin is an elitist bitch" but I don't think she conducted herself any differently than a man would have in her situation, so I say: kudos x 1000000 to Karin! It was clear to me at least that what she felt for sasuke wasn't love, and that was the key difference between her and Sakura. It's the same in canon... they both wanted Sasuke for so long - no doubt about it, and that want was REAL. But the reasons why they wanted him were completely different, and that's what makes SasuSaku my OTP. I loved reading Karin's conflicting emotions throughout this final chapter, and the raw emotion in seeing SAsuke in a way she'd never seen him before when it came to the love of his life. I also loved that scene on the terrace because it conveyed so much about SasuSaku's past - how she'd left for 5 years, was planning on leaving for 5 more... and now we know - it's not because she didn't love Sasuke... it's probably because he never told her how he felt until that night. It was such an emotionally charged scene, and I'm in awe of the density and depth of story that was told in these three chapters. This was an incredible read from start to finish, and it wasn't trite or redundant at all, despite what you may have thought about Sasuke being a young CEO. There was depth to his character, and I loved how all three of them were written. Thank you so much for writing and sharing this awesome story with us!

Dear author, this chapter 2 was incredible. I love Karin as a character, but I so loved and appreciated reading the differences between her and Sakura in this chapter. I loved how Karin and her "rival" are practically polar opposites, and how that spoke volumes about who Sasuke is as a person, what he values, and where his love and loyalties lie. This has been so much fun to read; I can't wait to see how it concludes! thank you so much for writing and sharing this Ch 2 with us!

Dear author, I understand what you mean by "uber-powerful magnate" Sasuke getting repetitve to write... but already in this opening installment - Sakura's description, the topic of their conversation, and Sasuke's obviously unusual reaction to this unnannounced visitor raises a laundry list of questions about what a businessman like him would have to do with someone with Sakura's profile. This was such an interesting twist! And I loved reading that opening from Karin's perspective. It was interesting because we get to learn what kind of man Sasuke is by the way he's treated Karin and nurtured her professional advancement... I found that very telling. And i also found Karin's motivations for wanting this man very telling as well. This was such a fun Ch 1; thank you for writing and sharing it with us!

i. absolutely. adore. your. writing. #goals

I just keep discovering your stories - and they're all so wonderful. I especially adored this chapter - it's always a secret guilty pleasure of mine when I see my favourite couples from the perspective of an outside. I feel like it always gives a new view of how the couples' dynamics work.

I really think you nailed Karin perfectly! It felt very meaningful that not only do we get to see her perspective on Sasuke as well as her jealousy and envy over him and Sakura's relationship, but the ending in particular was of great note since not only did you leave it open for her unknown future, you also helped define her as being more than just a character in love with someone else.

Love this ! It gives a better insight into Karin's character and just very well written for a short fic well done.

I loved it!

I like Karin POV

I like how compared and ambitious karin is. I like that you didn't unnecessarily bash her. I find it impressive that you managed to make a story about two people from (sasukesakura) from another person's point out view (karin). bravo!
