well, you're probably not going to work on this anymore.

But, like some other reviewer said, the story takes sudden different directions that really don't flow too well. like Nabiki's and Akane's sudden long trip in memory lane. There is something not quite right when readers start skipping parts. (And I don't skip easily).
it is a nice start, and though done quite a lot, yours is quite nice. I like having Nabiki sleep in Ranma's room.
but you should stay more with action instead of always going diverting.

I'd write a longer review but I doubt you'll work on the story anymmore (3 years is usually a pretty clear signal of a dead fic)

Wow, the end was a bit of a shocker. Hows about continuing it, I would love to see more of this story.

I like how you have Ranma volunteering to live out his second worst nightmare just to stay at this school he doesn't want to go to. I guess when you say altverse you really mean it.

Anyway, you might mention why they don't offer a private room (with its own bathroom). Most halfway descent private boarding schools have a few set aside for children with special needs or VIPs. Especially the expensive schools.

Wow, I really love this story! It is original and very well written. Are you going to finish it? It's a while since your last update. I hope you'll continue soon, it's too good to be left unfinished! ;)

Piecework in a factory? This place is starting to sound more like a cult than a school...Lets sew wallets for the glory of our Lord, Jim Jones--or is that a stalag. If an academy is going to require it's students to work, and some do, it's either for the educational value, in which case they'd be doing something with...educational value, or the work's for the good-old-fashion Puritan values of "Prayer through Work, Nose to the Grindstone" in which case they'd be doing something like planting crops with their bare hands and pulling ploughs or maybe learning a trade like smithing or basket weaving. Your mention of required chapel though...

my god, unbeleavable.
akane actually thinks that nabiki will actually get in trouble.
and whats the deal with "Mom, I’m so glad you picked up the phone. Nabiki is causing trouble already and I can’t deal with it anymore. I need you to do something about it!"
isn't her mom dead?
its dad right? well doesn't matter, akane is a spoilledd brat and the fact she thinks her dad can acutually do something about it is stupid.

great chapter your potrayal of akane and nabiki is great, down to the detail. hope for more soon ^~^

"Well this body's your fault! Mom tried to warn you. She told you Jusenkyou was cursed, but you were the one who insisted. I'm just glad you finally got what you deserved this time. Anyway I'm going to take a shower."

Zinger! Now this is what all the kiddies want to hear!

I seem to recall Ranma having free will though. And being less whiny. If Nodoka gave any kind of convincing argument, rather than 'those springs are cursed! oh noes its MAGIC!', why did Ranma not heed her warnings?

Of course! That would be one less Zinger!

And bloody inconvenient. After all, what is Ranma without his curse, other than an amazingly cool guy with mad martial skillz rivaled by few who have ever lived...

china does not deserve to be capitalized.

make sence.

Give us back Nodoka, this is an imposter.

Characters you hate don't have nuances btw. Rumiko Takahashis works are beloved to millions, and have been for decades, because of how shallow and undeveloped her characters are. This is a fact.

ignorace, for the...win?

Well, it was looking good... until this chapter, I'm afraid.

Too many sudden twists with little to no forewarning, or apparently deliberate misdirection.

It still works, but it's very jarring. Too much too closely together.

*

Akane's martial arts skills...

Unexpected, but acceptable, as this is an AU. In most fics, however, Akane's notoriously weak in defense.

Akane's reasons for attending the Academy, as revealed by Nabiki, and the apparent continued existence of Mrs. Tendo...

Too jarring without the slightest hint of these things even being a possibility. Misdirection via Akane's remembrance of why she wanted to attend the Academy, without even a hint that there may have been other reasons as well. And not even a mention of Mrs. Tendo's existence until the final part of this chapter (although it would make sense if Mr. & Mrs. Tendo are divorced).

As I stated, these things can all work, or be worked around (with a bit of minor editting). But it all hits the reader in one chapter with no forewarning or foreshadowing. Jarring.

Well, aside from a few spots where the system replaced the " with A, it was a great read, and I look forward to the next chapter.

I'd really hope that you return to writing this story. I has many twists and turns while keeping the reader drawn into the universe. Please let me know if it is dead or whether you will be returning to it.

The potential eists for greatness. Please do not let this story die. Let me know one way or another.
