Ok, you're starting to fill in the gaps I complained about earlier, but I still think it feels a bit rough-edged to do it this way.

Ugh. I'm starting to get the impression that it's your modus operandi to start with a good plot, change to another good plot with a somewhat incompatible atmosphere (which makes me mourn the first one) half-way through, and then call it a success in your author profile. You do it in both Insertion and Gaijin.

Of course, it doesn't help that, especially in the parts of Insertion that I'm not as fond of, the story feels like a loose patchwork of borrowed ideas without even a proper explanation as to how one becomes the next. For example, if Ranma became the first Mazoku, where the heck did Xellos, Phibrizzo, and Gaav come from?

I'll accept your OOCing of the Tenchi characters as necessary, but I don't have to like it. (According to OAV 3, Tenchi COULD take on the entire navy and win... and you can't kill Washuu. She's one of the three goddesses who created the universe and her powers and memories are merely sealed by Tokimi. Heck, at the end of OAV 3, they have to rewind time to fix everything... in a universe where closed-loop time travel is implied to be the canonical norm)

Up until you did this distopian future subplot, I was enjoying Insertion quite a bit, but you've definitely earned the benefit of the doubt and I won't hold the second half of Gaijin against you. I'll have to keep reading and see if you made the same mistake or if you're planning to make up for this mess some how.

...but it doesn't help that I only have second-hand knowledge of Spawn and I've never watched Saint Seiya.

Are you going to finish this thing or what man? I mean it has been seven months since you last updated it.

NO! WHY? I mean why did you kill off and destroy the Pokemon world in this chapter. It had so much potential.Is it because of the cartoon? If so, blame that idiotic Team Rocket Trio for they have been mucking up the show for many years. The video games are pretty righteous when you take care of them and plan your strategies with your creatures. Please tell me that it will be coming back.

Ryouga is a muppets joke waiting to happen, can anyone say 'Pigs In Space.'

When he tells Genma they're a collective, you should have done the Monty python and the holy grail skit, you know, "we arn't a monarchy, we are a autonomous socio-economic collective

Come on... Only one or two to got, remember? You made it this far, might as well finish!

great merciful heavens ! your back !

great chapter. it's nice to see a fic i love actually being updated .

Hi!

I started reading this story back when you posted the first chapter, way back in 2001. I'd forgotten about it for a couple of years, and to my great surprise and delight, I found that you'd updated! Wonderful. This story was one of the inspirations for me to start writing originally. (Along with Relentless and Waters Under the Earth).

I can see that you're about done with this creation. Find an ending you are happy with, and put this to rest. It's a great piece of work, simply for the sheer scope and zaniness, and for the fact that it managed to remain entertaining, even after 94 chapters.

Good luck, and thanks for the great read.

I have to say, I always appreciate how you do something neat or badassed with Akane in your stories. She's definitely always my favorite character, and I enjoy seeing her portrayed as a warrior much more then I do the generic romantic crap most authors seem content with. Really enjoyed the Akane vs Smith fights, and the coming finale of fights should be interesting.

P.S. Any plans to update the Atomic Kid?

I must say that this and a matter of force are two of my favorite fanfics, I look forward to more of this story.

It's great that you've started writing more on this again! I also really like how you refer to Smith as a single person regardless of how many he is. It's a neat little thing that messes with your mind a bit, since grammar is pounded into us, yet this is technically correct. Good stuff. Keep up the awesome work!

Shouldn't he have counted all those people he killed back in the silver millinum? I think that the first person he killed was those two on the landspeeders. The one he cut with his light saber, and the other he decapitated using force choke.
