Reviews for: The Stone of Arbitration - Page 1 of 2

I think this story is extremely bad. If I, or anyone else, had to put up with all the trouble Akane caused, I would be PISSED AS HELL at her. There is no way I would like her at all after that. I'd probably hurt her. Badly.

This was quite entertaining, but *profoundly* unfair to Ranma (and I'm hardly a Ranma defender). I don't think I've ever wanted to throttle Akane more than in this story. Fascinating.

err...what's the point of this? I thought the stone is some kinda "walk in someone's shoes" kinda magic artifact. SO does this mean Akane is really, really selfish, or just plain oblivious?

Not bad, still doesn’t quite suit my taste, but i did like the concept. I will put it on Story alert just incase you decide to switch Ranma with Ryoga or something.

Well hell. I'm not really sure what to say. It was good, and I liked it, but it seemed... I dunno. Was this one of your earlier stories? (Posting date aside...)

Ah, whatever. Maybe I'm just tired.

Boy, Akane's a real ass.

Liked the fic.

Prety good story, but Ranma realy gets screwed over in the end.

The fic itself is pretty funny, but the ending stinks. I would have assumed a stone of arbitration would be to teach a lesson to its purchaser, but it looks like Akane is content to take a lazy way out that doesn't involve consequences. Some of these consequences are probably short-term (soccer team), but Kasumi and Nabiki may hold a grudge. Unless... maybe the lesson is intended for Ranma?

Of course, Akane's planning to take his virginities also seems a bit callous. What if he doesn't want to? Is she even thinking about his feelings at all, after all this?

From the summary, it sounds like you were planning on having more people try out Ranma's life (so maybe this 'The End' isn't final?).

Hehehehe

Didn't think Akane was cowardly enough to cover up her own part in everything. Great story.

Starx 3/6/02 . chapter 1
good fic, very... different.

I would be grossly tempted to write a sequel to this story where, after Ranma recovers from what Akane set him up for, he'd renounce the engagement and walk away from her. Even if he tends to let her get away with a lot, this was going way too far.

Your writing style and sense of structure is fine, but I honestly felt, well...disappointed by the end. Basically, Akane knows all; Akane gets in trouble and still blames Ranma; Akane learns nothing from her experience; Akane traps Ranma in a situation where he should be sacrificed. (You never did explain what the Amazons as a whole would do when Ranma beat up Shampoo.) And in the end, Ranma gets beaten up by everybody whom Akane has accidentally (or intentionally) beaten up in turn or insulted.

I have absolutely no feeling one way or the other towards any of the characters; to me, their very attractive templates, and good authors make many different things out of 'em. But in this case, Akane simply gets all the fun and learns nothing out of her little magical plot device. (Nice ironic way you introduce it, though.) You set up an imbalance, a know-it-all, do-it-all Akane, who succeeds at everything; by fictional right, she should get her comeupance by story's end. Instead, Ranma does, and the whole thing left me with a very sour taste.

Oh, well... Guess Akane is back to being her normal selfish ass self in this story. *shrugs*
