Great work, I love the effort you put into including origins for details as with the flame animals for example. The OCs are integrated well and I hope it will be enough to tide me over a probably much reduced amount of appearances for Reborn due to his plans (all that banter is a favoured part of this story for me, sadly). So in case I don't get to a point anywhere 'current', I still want to say: This is lovely, I hope you'll continue to enjoy writing.

I know she's looking out for her family and familia, but I still can't help but want to commit violence against Daniella.

Oh! That's another difference! Didn't notice that on the first read through! The Albanian Kingdom was the official name of Albania between 1928 and 1939. Albania was declared a monarchy by the Constituent Assembly. I love all the different ways history in this world diverges!

lmao now i'm imagining a modern au where the time point is moot bc everyone has cellphones and luce can just check the calendar app in the visions to figure out the time and date of all events...

On the one hand, it is very interesting to read the opinion of an American about Russia and the mafia, on the other hand, the author would be better off contacting someone Russian, since there are very gross mistakes from the start.

The first is the problem with the name. Sonya is the short form of Sofia. In English, this is not at all obvious, but it is a fact.

The second is the problem with the mafia. In the 50s, there were huge state programs on the territory of the USSR to keep children busy. Pioneers and much more, due to the fact that after the Second World War there were many homeless children.
A bit of history to understand the full situation. There was a mafia in the USSR, but it was formed around places of detention. Very well and historically correctly this situation was revealed by the author in the work 'Man of Honor'.
The hero could not get into the affairs of the mafia so seriously without going to jail.

The third problem follows from the second. Tattoos. In the USSR of those years, as in Japan, ANY tattoo had its own meaning and attempts to get tattoos that a person does not deserve ended in death.
Plus, the cat tattoo literally translates as "rough tongue like a cat" and only girls received it for lesbian achievements.

I’ll try to at least master the first chapter, the author knows how to write well, I hope there will be no more USSR and you can enjoy the work to the fullest))

hope there is warning so I can read smut on ao3

I don’t think you’ve done too bad for the religious bits of this chapter. Honestly, a LOT has changed in people’s views over the past 2 millennia of trying to figure out what the heck we want to do with ourselves and inevitable ends, so frankly, you could’ve done a lot worse than what you have done in terms of writing anything that involves religion in this story so far.

Honestly, about the religion things, it’s not that bad. For Christianity, there are endless types given how many different ways one can draw conclusions of what the Bible means, and the Catholic stuff you showed was nice. I’m getting really tired of the whole corrupt/evil and/or incompetent religious group cliche tbh, and not seeing that feels great.

I really relate to that milk problem. I alone drink more milk than the rest of my family combined and I have 6 siblings.

Damn, guess the song “Summer of 69” really had some truth to it, huh? Being such a wild year and all. Also I cannot express just how happy it makes me to see an asexual protagonist. It would only make me happier to see her keep her friendships and not turn them into anything more romantic, but I can sadly handle romance given how used to seeing such I am. Would still prefer not to though.

Just finished reading this massive thing... didn't realize it was multi part at first. downloaded it off AO3 and worked my way through since, may maybe?, as i was getting closer and closer to the end i was wondering how you were planning on wrapping it up, then getting worried that it was abandoned. Then i finally check when i get to a computer and part 1 of 2 (3?) and I'm only 60% through the published work... lol damn. This is the craziest monster I've ever picked up, I've gotten close to a mil and even over it a few times and here you are past two mil and counting. Congratulations and Thank you looking forward to part two.

Okay, so I totally get why you wrote Sanya as 'sovially inept' but it come across as autistic to me. This isn't a complaint, I like that part of her personality, but I wanted to let you know. I am also autistic, though on the higher functioning end of the spectrum, which means I personally relate a lot to her confusion. While I can understand a lot of what her family finds so funny at any one time, there's a lot more that just goes right over my head. Like that scene on the beach with Tatianna and Fong in chapter 25. I knew that something sexual in nature was somehow suggested, but not what or why. And her whole reaction to finding out the subtext of that conversation was kind of my reaction when reading it. Also the story is amazing and I love it. I don't know how you it without being on the spectrum, but you made a very realistic, relatable (and awesome) autistic character. So thank you, it is kind of amazing to have positive representation that isn't about us being some sort of geniuses or savants. Even if it is more implied, whether intentionally or not, I'm glad you wrote this.

So, from the bottom of my heart,

thank you

Really been trying to ignore the Reborn and Sonya romance in the story. The author acknowledges that the age gap and the fact he's known her since she was 12 is creepy, but at the same time doesn't give a damn about it and writes the romance down anyway.

It's extremely jarring and makes me feel icky. Could the author not have made them closer in age? 'Sonya should not have grown up to be that hot.' is absolutely disgusting. I'm doing my best to ignore this subtext but the author keeps bringing the age gap up again, while I'm trying to pretend that the ages are ambiguous.

I will refrain from further comment though, since I'm not sure if they actually end up together. It could just be the fantasy of older men the author likes to flirt with, rather than the encouragement of unsavoury content that makes me want to throw up.

does sonya not wonder why or how she remembers her previous life?

Cherep's view of the world appears quite narrow sometimes. It doesn't help that he even comes across as pretty opinionated and hypocritical himself. He doesn't like and makes a point to forget the names of Sonya's more criminally-inclined friends but makes friends with Viper easily. He's a pacifist and doesn't want to hurt people, which same, but I don't know how he's so assured he'll never raise a hand against someone in the unlikely case his sisters- but mostly Sonya- get seriously hurt for example. He doesn't like Tyr because assassin, doesn't like the other Vongola Skies because neither does Sonya, but according to Luce's visions he'll like her even though she's a mafia boss herself too. He's pretty consistent with his dislikes, I'll admit; usually it's the killers he can't stand, hitmen, assassins, the like, but why killing people is wrong but mentally torturing them with Mist flames would be okay, I can't comprehend.

I still really like the purple dork's relationship with both Viper and his family though. It just feels a bit aggravating sometimes.
