This was it.. This was the fic that made me love your Hojo. And to read it again only make me more enchanted by his enlightenment all the more.. To see him in so many different lights all at once. From doubts to reassurance.. I love the fact that Vincent had been so close to swaying him.. So very close.. But Jenova's voice is so much more convincing.. so much more entrancing. How could she ever lie to him? ...Dazzling.

O.O *Adds to fav stories* That was amazingly good! Perfect Hojo, a great insight into his character. I shall now go read the rest of your fics.

Poor Hojo, chasing the ideal...^^ It'd seem that Jenova always lies. : ) But that makes it all the better. As for the fic..wow. I love the analogy with the nails in the coffin, the lumber, etc. Very clever. So is Hojo's opinion on sleep. From the game information, he doesn't seem one to want sleep. I also like that one section in the end when he seriously doubts his success, and sort of foreshadowing that he will indeed create a physical monster of his son as well as himself.

She never lies. Almost sounds like something cryptic from a good horror movie. Whee, insanity is fun to write, yes? Good fic here.

Hee hee, I noticed something I think I'd said in the RP on Wednesday night, coincidence. "I would have had to be blind not to see the looks they gave each other."

Woo-hoo! This was an amazing piece of work! Hojo is magnificent! The lunatic made sense! You delved into his mind perfectly and gave valid reasons for his actions.

He was manipulated by Jenova all along, and in your fic you let us see that it was his total devotion to her that led to all of the chaos. Hojo thought that he was in the right, that he wasn't crazy. It's amazing to think that human perception is what defines our lives, how different opinions led people in different directions, no matter how misguided.

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading your work.

That was an awesome piece of work...

Perfect fitting title and way to end it. I love the view and relationship of Hojo and JENOVA. That was pure genius...

And the tone of this, the subtle twisted intellect of a scientist such as Hojo -- Instead of bringing him across as an obviously deluded maniac, you brought out a tone of almost calm madness...like his insanity was so above and beyond any "regular" madness that everything he thought and believed was utterly reasonable and true in his mind and eyes. (Heh, though I think all mad men believe themselves to be "reasonable" in their eyes)...I hope I'm making sense ^_^;;

Fav lines:
"this goddess among
savage, stupid beasts..."

" It's the death of physical limits and the birth of perfection incarnate."

I also enjoyed how you portrayed Hojo's want to rid the human race (including himself) of all the limiations and weaknesses they possess. This was a very unique perspective. Kudos to your originality!

There's much more I want to comment on but I feel I have inadequate words to explain and praise them with >_<

This was a wonderful read, you did a great job executing it. I'm looking forward to more of your work in the future...Hehehe, I gotta thank Darknightdestiny for mentioning you ^_^ I'm glad she did.

Write on!

Jess 0:o)

Hee.
Glad to see you on here, so very, very glad!

I love this, I really do. The title was so perfect, and I began to understand it when he started talking about how she spoke to him...and the last line was a perfect way to end it.

I like the perspective you have on Hojo (I make him such a cruel man in my fics, lol), it's different than the take most people have on him, and that's a good thing. Shows your flexibility as a writer, and that your material is original.

I'll be watching for your posts on the others. :)
