okay ya, look I just got to say, rewrite this entire chapter WITHOUT Ryouko coming off as some shallow hussy please, the woman may be forward, crass and uncultured but she was deeply in love with Tenchi NO ONE and I repeat NO ONE starts switching their attention to someone else ESPECIALLY someone who looks like a lost lover like that unless they are EXTREMELY shallow and Ryoko's blunt personality aside - she is anything but shallow.

I have to admit that this is exactly the sort of story that encourages me to only read complete stories. Unfortunately, your story is marked complete. It's very interesting and original, but you create a lot of tension and then I can't read about how everything was resolved. I dislike Nodoka and her manipulative ways. I don't really see why it's so important for Ranma to go to Jurai anyway. Is it simply to be a figurehead and raise morale? I also hope that Ranma ends up married to Ryoko and ONLY Ryoko. I feel a lot more sympathy for her than for the other girls.

This is very good. Of course there were a few minor grammer/spelling issues, but they were just that minor. Now, time to see if you do have a book two...

An all around good Fic...a bit dark for my taste but you cant really make it lighter with this Storyline...But the cold hearted logical even a bit powerhungry Nodoka really surprised me...and where is Sasam while Ayeka plays War? Playing House with Misaki and Funoha?

Now that I've finished, it's time for another review.

There were good points and bad points, but, overall, I thoroughly enjoyed "Redefined Honor" (or, "Honor Redefined", as you call it at the end of chapter 12).

I forget where it was, but you broke the forth wall, telling the reader that little did someone (I believe it was Ayeka) truly know how doomed they were. Now, I'm all for foreshadowing, but that statement was...well, it made me a little miffed, to be honest. Seeing that statement was like having a friend tell you the end of the book you're currently reading.

Before I forget, I'm glad to see that my "Wah" comment was ill founded and was only used for Nanashi, after the Misaki incident.

Next, it seems like your grammar/ spelling took a bit of a dive as the fic went on. It was particularly poignant in chapter 12, where there was usually at least a couple of errors in ever paragraph. Since you stopped thanking WSRaptor for his help, my guess is that it's from a lack of prereaders/editors. If that's the case, just ask for volunteers on your profile. I'm sure you have many fans who would be willing to help.

Well, I certainly hope that you're going to make "Honor Exemplified", since this is a great fic. Especially now that you seem to have the Nerima crew fairly well in hand. :P

Thank you very much for the fic, and I look forward to reading more.

I'll probably end up making two reviews for this fic, one at the beginning and one at the end.

First off, let me say that I like your fic so far. It's not all that different from some of the fics I've read, but you did a very good job in showing the exasperation of both Ranma and Azusa. Also, the grammar/spelling seems to be fairly decent, which is usually indicative of a good fic.

My one complaint, at this point, is your use of "Wah". This is one of my pet peeves. "Wah" isn't a noise that one makes when they're crying or sobbing. "Wah" shouldn't even be used for babies, in my opinion, but I'll allow it for them. True, it's a little more allowable since you used it for Misaki, but that's still pushing it, especially when the rest of the fic is set in such a serious tone.

Anyway, thanks for creating this fic. I certainly look forward to reading it.d

I love the story.

Why is this piece listed as completed? is there a book two as the AN suggests, I cant seem to find one. Ciao

Good story. Um, where was Ranma's curse? Did you just decide to ignore it?

I hope you get the next book out soon. :D

I forgot to add something in the last review, so I decided add this one. One the hopes I have for future books is, Ranma to lay the smack down on his mother Nodoka. She hasn't seen him in ten years, not mention her very Akane like attempt to kill him on their first meeting. Then all his problems can be atributed to people trying to control his life. I'd just love to see his reaction to finding out the first thing she does is try control his again. Once he learns his heritage, there is no way she could feign ignorance of it, nor total stupidity at trying to meddle into his romantic affairs. You'd think she learn something after hearing about his past frustrations with forced relationships. Top that all, she plans to try control him threw the women? I just hope this newer, and more assertive Ranma you've built up so far, is not beyond laying the smack down on Nodoka. Not to mention Yosho, he can't possibly believe, one boy who's never heard about Jurians before could effect the empire that much. I mean Yosho left juria because he hated to forced into marriage and duty, now he's pushing some one who's never even heard of the planet? All I got to say is, if you ever continue this story, I hope Ranma doesn't lose his newly aquired spine.

A pretty sad, depressing and angsty fic. Some what dispinted with the big Ranma and the intial NWC showdown though. After all those chapters spent fleshing out Ranma's emotions and thoughts, I sort expected more detailed rants, not just flat statements. Really wish you would decide to finish this, because as sad and hopeless as this fic is, I can't help but think it could be saved by a semi happy ending. As it stands though, tons of people are dead, those taken by the aliens might even be worse then dead. And ofcourse just what was Washu's final gift. We all assume it was a Cabbit 2.0, with some unforseen results perhaps.

When will you continue with this story?

Will the tree-foot worm be a dragon ship instead a cabbit because I think a dragon which doesn't sound like a cat would be more fitting for Ranma or a future emperor.

Why are there so many crossovers in which Ranma Saotome becomes Tenchi Masaki in everything but name? I want crossovers with the real Heaven and Earth Prince. I want his real name used - TENCHI MASAKI! I don't want him murdered or otherwise disposed of to get him out of Ranma's way. I don't want him replaced with a weakling who can't fight without a magic sword or a say nothing, do nothing piece of furniture. I don't want Ranma's seppuku crazy, nitwit mother to be Yosho's daughter! I also don't want Ranma to become a Juraian, or a god. And I REALLY don't want crossover matchmaking between the two.

Ranma has a lot of shortcomings that make him a great character for slapstick comedy but make him very unsuitable for any position of authority. For an example, read the manga story in which Nodoka was first introduced and consider this question. By what age does a child raised by a single parent usually start asking questions about his absent parent?

If you want Ranma to be an invincible hero and save the day you shouldn't do crossovers with stories that have so many characters who could beat Ranma to a pulp in less than a second. Even Tenchi's grandmother, Airi, could beat Ranma in less than a second. Are there any crossovers that don't insult the TM characters the way this story has insulted Tenchi?

"Ranma 1/2" and "Tenchi Muyo" only work well together as comedy.

By the way, if Tenchi was killed, and you'd have to at least destroy the universe in the process, the chosin would set back time and prevent anything from happening that could harm Tenchi.

Not to bad at all. I just have one thing to say: GET YOUR ASS WORKING ON BOOK TWO BEFORE I KICK IT FROM HERE TO THE MOON!

BlackRenamon: Hehehe, Cardinels getting Po'd, I'd get to work if I were you, this guy thinks of nasty tortures, like forcing you too watch a full season of tellitubbys *shudders* I still remember the last authers screams

Me: Shut up fox face, that was just a trial period with bad authers

Black Renamon: Shut up... hm, nope, doesn't sound like something I would do.

Me: Do I need to get BlueRenamon?

BlackRenamon: No! Please god no! Anyone but Her!

me: Then Shut up.

(small note, muse arguement provided for entertainment purposes only, Blackrenamon, BlueRenamon, and all other members of the Renamon family excluding Renamon herself are my own creations. They are interested in a brief change of scenery so you can borrow them for a couple of fics if you want, just pm me with the names of those fics so I can read em.)
