Of course i liked it! *, where have you been, chap? And considering you putthis up, what, last month, im not too terribly far behind. Whats up with another chapter? Im running out of reading material on here. Ive raked through so much shit and discovered so many gems i had to come back to someone i knew wouldnt disappoint me, EricDraven. One thing though...Virginia? Well.

Oh! I like where this is going! I like this darker side of Dante, hehe - but I'm also very happy with his fatherly persona. Keep it up!

*Imagines Dante watching Sesame Street with toddler* Seeing Dante and Virginia together is cute beyond words! The very definition of a Kodak moment! XD At the same time, it adds a personal edge to the mission for Dante.
I find Joe interesting, how he mourns his mediocrity while being unable or unwilling to really do anything about it. Despite his low self-esteem however, he seems to have a good grip on reality, making him a nice dose of normalcy in contrast to Dante. I look forward to watching how he changes throughout the story, since he won't be able to remain the literal Average Joe he is currently. Update soon!

A new story? You churn them out faster than you finish them! But that isn't really a bad thing necessarily, as long as everything else gets updated too. This is a riot: Joe's thinking Dante's a vampire, the fake gasoline, and knocking Joe out by accident. Funny indeed! As for the plot, it sounds like a Stephen King book. Awesome! Dante and Lady's kid is so ADORABLE! XD I love how they are married and have a child, and a daughter no less, since everyone else seems to give Dante a son instead.
Yeah, I was about to say, Piggly-Wiggly is a southern chain! But you are right that they serve mostly small towns. Since when did Dante smoke; he was deliberately created by Capcom a non-smoker? Oh well, it works for the story; I'll assume that he just used them specifically for the interrogation. Maybe he swiped them from Morrison. LOL!

I love this. Actually made me go to all the bother of signing in to submit a review which can be very risky with my exploding internet connection… Anyway enough rambling

You’re a very skilled writer, the pace of this is amazing, it reads like an actual story rather then a random collection of one-shots which is kinda how mine always end up…
Incredibly captivating, really draws the reader in. I love your Dante, he’s very in character which I love, but you’ve adapted him and made him your own and your OC Joe seems very real and human.
Really looking forward to reading more of this.
Keep it up,
TC

Hm elmo's world, kidnapping, a walk down demon memory lane & maryland? Sounds like a recipe for something nice. Good mix of emotional moments & bits of comedy. Thumbs up.

I was wondering if you were going somewhere with this. Had to read the first chapter again to remind myself of the setting and characters.
Again, I really like where this is going. The small-town mystery feel really suits Devil May Cry (possibly because it was originally billed as a new resident evil). Dante is very much in character, and the character you created (Joe) is very well characterised. I'm confident in your ability to make this perfect.

See? You didn't need a beta-reader after all. To be honest, I would have pegged you as a beta-reader yourself. Your writing style has no evident flaws, all you appeared to be worried about was plot and - well, that's the fun of writing, isn't it? Virginia...didn't you say somewhere that that's your home state? Little name-drop, but it was subtle (mind you, I'm probably wrong and blabbing on about nothing in that case.)
You know what comes next; please keep it up, loving it so far, and the best of luck to you.
-Joe

I liked it!! I love the way you keep Dante in character. I'm hoping for more updates! On a side note: this story feels somewhat like Resident Evil 4, with Dante replacing Leon.

Joe: It never dawned to me while I was reading this that you ever needed a beta-reader, as you claim.
I really like the look of this fic so far. It's very well written, it provides great reading, and you've left just enough info so that the reader knows enough to get by, but wants to read more to find out. The 88? Cults always do freak me out, and this one seems to be one of those ones that sacrifice people...
Joe gives his name a bad name...I know what I said. Kinda seems like an apish country bumpkin, but innocent enough for you not to dislike him for it. A well-rounded character in the first chapter - a job well done. That's far better than most authors can accomplish (Including me, you'll notice). I hope to see more.

Oh, and I'm going to reply to your review for Hell's Frontline here, while I'm reviewing.
First of all, cheers for the review itself, you'd be surprised how little I've been getting recently, and good reviews really are a comfort...
I'm glad you liked it, that's what it's there for - apart from keeping me occupied. And don't worry, I'm planning on updating fairly soon - the main reason that it's taken me ages to update the past bunch of chapters was because the Egypt scenario was really boring the crap outta me at that stage. I've reached what's my favourite part to write thus far, so it may actually be possible to hold your breath until then :D
p.s: as you may know, me & gromit's email screwed up, so any correspondance will have to be done via review. (No, this ISNT a cunning plan to get more reviews, btw)
Cheers again,
Ciao.

Oh mai! Dante is so edgy, it shows that he can be really saditic if he wanted to.

Is this Joe character going to be like an "Enzo Jr."?

I saw comedy. a lil action, suspense even a cute lil scene worthy of a disney movie. Shall I compare thee to a summer's day naw nore like a winter's day and your story was much cooler.
