Reviews for The Conquest of Westeros |
---|
![]() ![]() ![]() I really do like this chapter and story thus far. I really do and I am keeping up with it, but I dunno. To my knowledge of Warhammer Fantasy, The Lady of the Lake did indeed care about the Bretonnians and was favorable to humans. I mean, she aided and helped them out and did seem to care. Maybe they retconned that in the End Times (growls at the mention of that) but I still think this was a bit much. I know elves are usually haughty, but mayhaps you could show that she does really care, or that she's just a tease and maybe they can build a more positive relationship as the story goes on after learning of each other. Just my two thoughts. |
![]() ![]() ![]() First of all, good story, looking forward to much more secondly: I think your concerns are unwarranted, I see you tempted by some of the pitfalls that affect crossover writers in basically every franchise, but especially stuff like Halo, Warhammer FB/40k, Mass Effect etc: You want to include absolutely everything you can, you lament not having enough bretonnia, norsca, wood elves etc. The lack of them is actually a good thing, if you become overly indulgent in fanservice stuff, which including every single faction you like is, then you end up with a convoluted bloated story with paper thin characters and no logic to the plot. So far you have avoided it, and I’d prefer if it stayed that way. Keeping it simple like you do, with the waystalker representing the elves and most of the human characters representing the empire is a good thing, gives you more room to focus on interesting things like characterization and the plot and how the empire compares to Westeros. How will Aureleth and Franz react to the Targeryens and their dragons, must be an odd thing. Valyria must seem pretty incredible to them. Stuff like that is what’s interesting with crossovers, not having reiksguard bashing lannisters. Don’t get trapped thinking you have to write 10k word battlescenes either, yours are perfectly fine but battles are not where a Warhammer fantasy and ASIAF crossover’s potential really lies. Franz as Lileath’s champion was not a bad idea, it could work well to explain the connection with the old world and westeros and it gives him plenty of reasons to grow closer to his elven companion over the coming chapters. Their dynamic is well written. His stubbornness clashes with her experience, pride and her overprotectiveness. Their interactions are my favorite bits in this story, and I was not expecting it to be that way. Anyways, just thought I’d share some of my thoughts since I reacted on your professed concerns this last chapter. Keep it up mate, Warhammer Fantasy is such a rarity and I really hope you keep at it with this story. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Glad to you see you're back, dude. |
![]() ![]() ![]() I hope to see a few more dwarves., and maybe some high elves. Enough to start new populations in the new lands of westeros. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Hope ya bring the orca along to. I’d love to see a 4 way battle of wildlings (atleast the rabid ones) vs this empire vs white walkers vs orcs. The 7kingdom forces seeing this major battle from the walll. While the empire tries breaking the wall down. A blood fest! |
![]() ![]() How do they know she is the only wood elf in the world? considering it was the Elfien god who sent them here it would make more sense for this world to have elfs than humans. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Its been awhile since i read the story last but i still remembered a lot of the characters because you wrote them so well. I think your style of writing is one of the best ones i've seen on this site. There are not a lot of people who write with the detail you do. Excellent chapter ans hope to read one again soon! |
![]() ![]() ![]() Life is a difficult thing, I'm glad that you're back. |
![]() ![]() Without doubt, I'm glad that you continued the story, welcome bro. Big chapters are difficult to read, it would be better to break into 1-3 chapters. I'm surprised that the barbarians fled without fear to an unknown, first-seen weapon. Even the natives ran from the sounds and the destructive factor of muskets. Too many characters become, which for my taste is superfluous and steal time from others. Well, the line of children - I personally do not like it, but with interest I will observe their implementation. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Not gonna lie... I creamed a little when the Vermintide group came together. |
![]() ![]() ![]() WHAT? no harem!? the poor Franz's wife is dead. reward the poor fellow with harem or at least someone westeros character.(or that elf would be nice,*wink**wink*). Would be nice if Franz's child survive and teleport to Starks, since Arya and Ed is nice. need more, faster upload please. |
![]() ![]() ![]() BTW, I accidently posted a review for chapter 8 in chapter one. Oops. |
![]() ![]() ![]() This is a fantastic story and I love reading it. Of course it is a long read but it is worth every second spent reading it. The scene with the Tsarina and Karl was probably the best part of this whole chapter, it was just funny to think of Karl, the definition of badass, playing with baby Deathclaw. Now that I think about it, did Karl name Deathclaw when he was a kid because the name now makes a lot of sense. Kat and Karl make a good pair of rulers and together they can do a great deal of good in Westeros. |
![]() ![]() ![]() I don't mind the wordyness. It shows great care and thought. Unlike most, you aren't just purple prosing it. This would be longer but alas I am on my phone. I hope to see more soon. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Hmm...any chance of seeing factions like Cathay,Nippon,Ind,Araby,Tilea,Estalia,Albion,Hung,Lizardmen,Amazones,Chaos dwarves etc? |
