As an aside to my last review, wouldn't the memory manipulation be a sign that he wasn't in a game? The nerve gear(which he still believes he's connected to) doesn't have the capabilities for that. Wouldn't he draw the connection if he's supposed to be smarter than his canon self?

Okay...I've been reading off and on for a few days so i feel comfortable leaving a review right around this point.

I love the concept of this story.

I find the execution lacking.

Not in storytelling per say, but in content. Mild spoilers for those reading so be warned.

All I see in this version of Harry is a dickheaded kid who is more of a menace to society than some child. You probably meant to write him as having realistic flaws and I commend you for that. His insistence on his current reality is beyond unreasonable and the fact that his interactions with a muggleborn who he's told his situation to HASN'T lead to conversation about the current worlds technology or him asking(since he's so suspicious) how he was found and not mentioning A STRANGE MUGGLE MACHINE THAT KEPT HIM ALIVE FOR 2 YEARS didn't happen.

I can't emphasize or sympathize with this Harry at this point because, in actuality, a lot of his suffering he brought on himself. Now this still makes sense because he's an emotionally unstable child with superpowers and a lack of understanding of the world. But dude, Modern day London and he still thinks he's trapped? After hearing about things that should have been a dead giveaway? I can't say I like him at all. Maybe there is some redemption for him later on so I'll continue. That is my only gripe with this story though so it makes it difficult.

Otherwise good job.

You to countinue

The way you took away his immortality is bullshit complete and utter bullshit

I find it strange that Gil not just send his email adresse to communicate faster (and cheaper). I understand why the author did not did it. It would be strange for example that hermione need 2 or 3 days to respond to a mail when Gin respond in a mater of minutes or hours since it would need to be forward by her parents to Hogwarts. It can also be because Gil didn't think of it : since he received a mail, he respond with a mail without considering an email adresse.(Or it's just a plot hole \_(ツ)_/)

I'm a little sad Norbert didn't eat Quirrell when he was hunting the unicorn, it would have been fun.

would realy love to see this story continue IF you are able to?

right so why doesnt anyone take him to the dursleys and show him this is the real world (iknow it wouldnt be that easy but you get the idea) and why doesnt anyone else know about the ten thousand people or however many survived being trapped in a computer simulation for 2 years id think that sort of news would be self evident with all the other bodies wasting away until hospitalised as other people didnt go into magical stasis, all that aside great story so far hope you come back to it someday or at least let it go for adoption, as for harry hes a bit emo but understandably so but i hope he comes to know hes in the real world soon. thanks for sharing a great story with us.

We need to put this story on TV Tropes!

I love this. Nice, understandable plot twist, and also a really good reaction to that development.

I like it when authors have their characters act more... well, human.

These last two chapters have been kind of amazing. Got my feelings in overdrive.

It is nice that Harry has Agil who is both able and willing to be emotionally caring as well as being able to notice what Harry is going through and what he needs.

This is an amazing intro. I love the thought of escapism, and that’s the main reason SAO spoke to me so much (despite its subpar writing)

You did a nice job at the end here, I can actually feel a bit of Harry's relief and sense of safety.

Also, a nice contrast to all the other peoples' panic and despair.

Okay, I gotta admit the end of that chapter made me tear up quite a bit
