Oh this is great!

Interesting and amusing story. A bit meandering at times but I suppose that is part of its charm. Dumbledore’s monologue about how if he wanted Harry to be his weapon he would’ve trained and groomed him was pretty well said. Honestly reading this fanfic was pretty satisfying, the only thing worse than Dumbledore being a manipulative, evil old man is him being incompetent at it. I still do think canon Dumbledore is generally incompetent but instead of being evil just senile and blinded by sentimentality. Also Harry insulting Dumbledore just made me lol for some reason. Good fanfic, 8/10.

Great story. Compared to Dumby Voldy is a simpleton.

I like this outcome of 'confronting someone you believe to be more powerful and clever than you'. Something like this seems far more likely to happen than Dumbledore simply saying, "Oh no, you got me, curses, foiled again." Great job!

Still the best fic about this particular trope, mainly because it actually gives a logical answer to it, mainly that an actual villainous Dumbledore would've noticed his main pawn rebelling in subtle ways and he would himself use subtle means to keep tabs on what he's doing until he can find a good response.

I know this isn't probably a shot against Perfect Lionheart's fic but it's very much applicable to it, given that if the author actually wanted to write a competent story instead of a wish fulfilment fantasy he would actually make his Dumbledore an threat instead of just Not!Harry's punching bag.

Either way, this was a great read.

This continues to be my favourite one-shot. An excellent parody of overused Fanfiction tropes. Bravo!

Well... what a twist

Some of these guests reviewers need mental help. Especially the one who keeps talking about cock and mother's. He's acting like a Westerner.

The trope you've subverted/debunked isn't "evil Dumbledore"; it's "Harry defeats evil-Dumbledore..."

(Evil is hardly the mot juste for canon-Dumbledore, but it's arguably somewhat nearer the truth than 'good Dumbledore". Ruthless, dodgy, manipulative, dishonest, arrogant, negligent, incompetent, culpable, irresponsible, callous, detached, puppetmaster, user, child-recruiter... he chose the good side but that doesn't make him a good person.

"What did I care if numbers of nameless and faceless people and creatures were slaughtered in the vague future if in the here and now you were alive, and well, and happy?" he told Harry in OOTP. Well, it had to be here and now, didn't it, given that he's spent most of Harry's life intending for him to confront Voldie and die?)

Lmao that's great

Tf is wrong with the guy below the guy directly below me?

what is wrong with the person before me

Sometimes villains win. They deserve to win. If someone rapes your mother, author, they deserve to rape her, because hey, he's better than your mother and better than you. That guy got to walk away whistling and happy about how balls deep he went on your mother. Be happy it happened, and go back to sucking Hitler's dick.

Master manipulators are important to society. Hey author, if someone was able to manipulate you and rape your daughter, your mother, or you, give them a hand. People like Dumbledore are entitled to run your life like, if they want to take advantage of you, just enjoy it as something different.

Villains deserve to be happy. Criminals deserve to be happy. So hen someone hurts you, don't bitch or whine. Just take it, accept it, because someone is better than you. If you get raped, or get hurt, or if your mother gets fucked over like a cheap cunt, be happy, ok author? It's different, so you should be happy.

It was pretty funny until the end. Then it earned it’s tragedy tag. Wonderfully done.

Thanks for writing.
