Wow... I mean just... WOW! What an incredible story you have written! (are maybe still writing?) I've been binge-reading this fic over the last week and honestly couldn't put it down. It's been stuck in my head every waking moment really. It's also the first fanfic I've read in years and you've pulled me right back into fanfiction. I'm searching for any other fanfic that will come close to this one but don't know if I'll find anything like it. Sigh...

First off I loved the beginning with Ranma & Nabiki. It was handled so well with the two having a mostly 'normal' weekend holiday. Honestly, if the fic had just amounted to that and nothing more, I would have been satisfied. A part of me wished that this fic had stayed a Ranma/ Nabiki romance. Not to discount the rest of the story. The Ranma/ Ryoga plot, the harem plot, the Himura stuff, Ranma's past. All of it has been so engrossing. Honestly, it's like you have taken half a dozen great fanfics and fused them together.

The story itself has warped and changed so much throughout the chapters from the basic premise of trying to fix Ranma's problems and find out 'what they want', to Ranma being story-locked into being a girl and playing volleyball, to their growing relationship with the other girls, then the will they/ won't they between them and Ryoga before blowing up into this underground war between a Yakuza princess, blood-hungry amazons and a circus mistress. Definitely not something I saw coming. Still, you've kept this cart on the road and it's still rolling along towards its final destination.

One of the trickiest bits for me has been the revelation of Ranma born a girl. It's been explored a number of times in past fics. I've overall liked how you've done it, even if it turned Nodoka & Genma into a couple of psychos. I think my main reservation for it is that it comes across as being a girl is better than being a boy for Ranma. I do feel though that you are aiming towards Ranma being both/ gender fluid eventually and as long as Ranma stays as themselves personality-wise, I can accept it.

Anyway just want to also highlight that I love your writing style as well as how you handle the characters. The Nermia Wrecking Crew jump off the page with how you write them and I've really grown to love all of them in your fic.

Finally, I noticed you've not updated in over 3 years. I was aware of this when I started reading, dreading getting to the end of the last chapter. I'm really hoping you will return to finish this someday. It's so good and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel for this fic in terms of ending. I hope this review reaches you and helps inspire you to do more. But if this is all that gets written then I still want to thank you for everything you have written.

you know, i keep waiting for this to update at least one more time. this story has grown on me and the lack of resolution gnaws...

This is straight up wrong both disrespectful of the original author and supportive of immoral transgenderism. Do better and support things that contribute to the worlds good not to its damage.

Mornings bad. nuff said.

Anything Goes Bacon-lending? Will that be a thing? It should be a thing. Make it a thing!

Kudos to Ranma for finally noticing Nabiki. The fact she felt flattered? Those comments about taking a strip of bacon off his tab HAD to be her flirting with him.

Aw, more volleyball would have been fun!

Bet his shoe tasted pretty good after he put his foot in his mouth with the whole babies conversation...

Hell, I wanted to give Ranma a hug. That whole bit with not wanting things to change seriously has me rethinking the whole series...I mean, how can I look back at any of the early episodes the same again? It's sad that it took this long for someone to actually consider HIS feelings, for once.

New England pirate ninja? whut

Por Ranma, spinning out. Finally taking time to think about his own wants and needs has got him struggling to find an answer. It's nice to know he actively works to not be the pervert he's accused of being. He could honestly be the least perverted male in the whole of Nerima actually!

Not that drunk? That is a very dangerous place to be Miss Tendo. Letting your guard down, and getting Ranma to lower his? Bad idea...

Wait, HE kissed HER?! How many times has HE been the one to initiate a kiss?! Mostly it's someone else forcing themself on HIM...

...oh, God, they're not gonna... are they...?

Yet another harem story? At least Nabiki seems to be the lead actress this time...

...summary react up ons aside, I have to say that i like the way you seem to be easing into the story. Finally we get the characters to go beyond surface thoughts and feelings to truly LOOK at someone and see that yes, they be messed up!

I've never liked how Nabiki was always so wealth driven to develop a deeper personality, so I'm very impressed at how much she has to alter her way of thinking and acting. Ranma as well, so this has much promise and I hope my tardiness means I can get caught up before a new chapter is released (please forgive me if it feels I'm pushing for new content: I can see it has been some time. Fingers crossed that inspiration hasnt sully evaporated...)

How many of these college students are new oc's? Forgive me, but I'm not very well acquainted with the fandom. The only time I've spent watching the show was many years ago by renting VHS tapes with my dad...and the selection was pretty slim and not very in order...and I haven't read any of the manga...

By the by, I plan on stealing the whole international rules thing for truth or dare for future use! I can't promise I'll credit my sources!

I don't think I've ever read a Ranma story that made me hate Nodoka this much, even while making her a believable character with a certain degree of depth. You have a gift for this.

You have a real knack for writing these side characters/suitors/rivals in a way that highlights how utterly psychotic they are. I hate them in a way that I really have a hard time hating almost any other fanfic characters, even ones who commit sins that are in an objective sense far worse than these. Well done.

So Shampoo and Ukyou can fuck each other behind Ranmas back, but he isn't even allowed to get a kiss on the cheek without them going ballistic?
Here is Ranma who is feeling guilty for kissing Ukyou and confessing that fact directly to Shampoo, and there are Shampoo and Ukyou who have sex with someone who isn't their fiance (someone who they keep chasing and insisting on loving) and they feel absolute no guilt about that whatsoever. Shampoo might claim Amazon nonsense but Ukyou really has no excuse to not feel guilty.
People probably think it's fine because "they are girls so it doesn't count" and "he'll think it's hot" or "they are going be in a harem anyway", but it's really not okay.

i hope you are well and come back to finish this one day

Best fic in the fandom.

WOW what a ugly picture. I had a bout of compession for Himura.

Damn... this is really good and needs to continue

Wow. Let me guess you are a professionell shrink with a Writing Hobby. This is really good!

If I were Ranma here I would have paralised Himura's legs to fuck with her, see how she plays voleyball then

I want to start by just saying that this is good on both a craft and art level. The next paragraph or two could theoretically be read as critique, but I don't really mean them as such. You sent me on a feels trip I wasn't expecting, and in describing that experience, I mean to compliment you for managing to find this story and tell it, not to suggest that I resent said feels trip. As uncomfortable as it was, it was probably a healthy exorcism of childhood ghosts.

I haven't actually read to a point where I'm 100% certain you won't zig where I expect a zag and end up with a different angle, but at this point I'm fairly certain that Ranma is trans. If I'm wrong, well, you wrote a great internal monologue that felt uncomfortably familiar to me as a trans person. I'm fairly certain I'm not, though.

I wasn't exactly expecting to stumble across a psychoanalysis of my own relationship with gender as mediated by Ranma 1/2. I'm not even sure entirely how to phrase it, but there's something unsettling about seeing the show that gave me the tools to understand I was trans being deconstructed down to the incredible gender prescriptivism that lies at its base. Equally unsetting to see my own internalized transphobia reflected back at me in such a way that I can't deny the role Ranma had in inculcating that internalized transphobia. It's easy to remember my confusion with Canon Ranma's being upset over his "curse" (If they were real, the Chinese Amazons would either run a booming business selling access to that curse and its counterpart or they'd be run ragged trying to chase people off from it the moment anyone found out) than it is to confront the fact that every time Ranma beat himself up over that curse, he was also implicitly beating me up. You kind of cut the middleman out and just show Ranma beating herself up with the exact same things that I internalized.

I have no idea if you meant for this to be read this way. Maybe you just meant to have a dialog about the imposition of gender-roles at all and I'm just misreading you. But I have a hard time imagining someone who could describe the self-alienation of being trans so well not knowing what they were doing. So, yeah, thanks.

Also, I'm adopting Ranma and taking her away from her awful parents. None of us should have ever had to figure this out alone.
