 15dragondream 8/22/11 . chapter 11very good job on this story. i really liked both endings. cant wait to read more of your stories. |
 Jrik23 10/25/09 . chapter 11I think that your ending was a little over the top. The 2 versions of the the ending didn't seem to be all that realistic. I really enjoyed the story. I only felt that your ending was rushed. I think that you should have gone into more detail after their memories came back.
I was really confused about the birth of a girl for one and the birth of a boy for the other ending. I am guessing you wanted us to believe that the girl really is Vegita's and the Boy really is Goku's. I don't think that it was need to change that. I think the ending could have been better if the birth was the same for both endings. |
 Mare 6/4/07 . chapter 11 It would've been nice except for Tomata the sue and the additional sue at the end: Vegeta's daughter who's not Bra. I hate it when authors do that. It rapes canon more than it already has been. :/ |
 Mare 6/4/07 . chapter 9 *sigh*
It would've been better if Bulma and Goku made Vegeta accept the baby by themselves. It would've strengthened their bonds; friendship for Goku and Vegeta, and love for Bulma and Vegeta.
Tomata is just a no good Mary Sue. |
 Mare 6/4/07 . chapter 8 I hate to break it to you, but I really don't see why you had to insert Tomata here. She's what you call a Mary Sue.
- she's a Saiyan. Saiyans are extinct. The only canon female Saiyan ever to appear in Dragonball was Seripa. Bra doesn't count because she's half.
- she doesn't transform like normal Saiyans do to SSJ. OCs shouldn't be more special than the canon characters if you're not aiming for a Mary Sue.
I guess you'll have her beat Vegeta in the next chapter too. Yeah, no. Just no. That's a HUGE BIG NO. Mary Sue much.
- she's still a central character in the story. Why? Bulma and Goku's amnesia and the issues along with it could go on just fine without Tomata. Mary Sues aren't essential to any story.
Frankly, I'm getting more and more disappointed as Tomata gets more spotlight.
So Vegeta is mad at Goku. They should fight it out. Unless there's someone risking world destruction like Majin Buu, I seriously doubt Vegeta would deviate from his instinct to kill Goku for getting Bulma pregnant. |
 Mare 6/4/07 . chapter 7 He! I hope Bulma's pregnant!
*still lmfao at Akira Toriyama Funimation* XD |
 Mare 6/4/07 . chapter 6 There are too many Tomata scenes. I skipped them all. I'd rather read about how Goku and Bulma are going to settle their feelings and regain their memories. |
 Mare 6/4/07 . chapter 5 One thing I'd like to point out is when a person gets amnesia, they could still remember basic things like how to read, write, spell, comb their hair or brush their teeth. I'm not a doctor, or an expert in amnesia, but I could say this for certain. So Goku not knowing how to read the kanji he's representing on his back uh, well, not good and unbelievable. You might want to keep that in mind in the future, for other amnesia fics or what-nots. :)
LOL @ Mrs. Briefs! I knew she was a Goku x Bulma shipper! HAHAHAHAHAHA! |
 Mare 6/4/07 . chapter 4 I'm desperately rooting for a Vegeta x Bulma x Goku happy ever after with a lot of half-Saiyan babies. :P |
 Dragoncat 4/14/07 . chapter 11This is one incredible story! Personally I like the first ending a little better, but at least with both versions no one wound up completely miserable. Chi-Chi would indeed make a great teacher. And Vegeta and Launch? Hey, why not? At least he's not on another killing spree.
By all means, write as many stories like this one whenever you're ready. |
 king naruto 12/1/05 . chapter 11 wite more WITE MORE WRITE MORE! i mean please finish the story.will vegeta try to kill goku and boxers, and will chichi try to kill bulma. and will boxers turn beyond ss1 and 4 i mean super saiyan 4 and 1. due to the anger that vegita but on him and will there be any romance between boxers and some girl. |
 Cauli 1/17/04 . chapter 11this fic is really good. i think you should continue. maybe with story 2 because its out of the norm and would make an interesting fic |
 Setalon 10/15/03 . chapter 11 Hey, Maria Cline! You rule! I liked Goku/Bulma fic, including second ending! |
 Steven P. P 5/15/03 . chapter 10I take some of my stuff back, it seems the anonimous reviewer Fenris just found a good happy ending for this fic. :) Well, this shows how rich is the collective imagination. :) |
 Steven P. P 5/15/03 . chapter 11Much can be learned from this story.
First of all, the most surprising thing was, that you wrote a decent, enjoyable fic using 80% dialogue and only a slim 20% of description. (And I think I was optimistic with those numbers.) It's simply amazing.
Second, this story shows very well, that even a great idea should not be over-played. The base concept, Bulma and Goku losing their memories and finding themselves all alone was a nice idea, and you portrayed the situation well, it was a relief to see no common character-bashing in this fic. But I think the story became longer than optimal. It never became actually boring, you constantly supplied the readers something to think about (like the Geni Roddenberr-thing, even with it's... well funny name), but the main problem, Bulma's and Goku's problem, and the plot-part evolving around it didn't advance at all for approximately 2 or 3 chapters. (and I was optimistic again.) Such a decent story can't afford a mistake like that.
The last thing, this story also clearly shows that a good idea is hopeless without a good ending. You created a conflict with huge emotional powers, and even with your talent it became somewhat too much for you to handle. You weren't able to close down the fic in a good way, both endings show that. The way you twisted things clearly led you to a sad, dramatic ending, because "things will never be the same again". But, as it seems you didn't want a sad endings so you kinda "forced" a happy one, which was not really happy this way, of course.
I must add, that I can't think of a better ending myself... This story, I believe couldn't end happily, it seems impossible. What's more it's difficult to finish sadly, too. The problem is the main concept. The way you wrote the story (Bulma pregnancy is a good example) led the plot to a huge dead-end. And such a dead-end is even more sad than a normal sad ending.
I think I wrote too much critism, considering how much I liked this fic. Just make sure you have at least a distant idea of the ending before you start writing, and I think you will be a great, unique fanfiction-author. Keep up the good work! |
