Reviews for Harry Potter: Lost Very Far Away |
---|
![]() ![]() ![]() As frustrated with I was with Harry's Descent into hell, I'm at least as impressed by this latest story arc. I'm blown away by the feeling of completion that this chapter brought... mostly because it's not quite 1/3 of the total chapter count! I guess I"m saying "Kudos!" to mark the completion of a major chapter in Harry's tale. |
![]() ![]() ![]() That was Freaking Intense! |
![]() ![]() ![]() Loved the fight scene! Have I mentioned Harry's need to learn Situational Awareness? CONSTA... yeah, that lol |
![]() ![]() ![]() I recognize that you owe your readers nothing. That said, I highly encourage you to give some hope to those who come through the darkest parts of Harry's descent into abject sickening vileness that it is not the 'end' direction of the story. You're asking us to trust you, but we've read a lot of realllllly bad FF's, so a little reassurance would go a long way. |
![]() ![]() ![]() " He was also smart enough to realise that human beings were the sum of their memories and quite a few of his used to belong to other people. He could limit that effect especially with legilimency however even if he did he would still have skills that his friends did not and quite possibly, if it took long enough, hundreds of years of experience that would colour his viewpoint. So he took comfort in the little things like a familiar bed. " I liked this, a lot. I'm also glad to see that, while his assassinations were possibly immoral, he did not degrade to the point of killing civies and/or children. I'm holding out hope that he'll not degrade further from his currently 'grey' personality into utter darkness. ...and then he murders a Jedi negotiator and who knows how many others, none of which were his targets. That he did it for money he doesn't even need makes it all the more clear that Harry Potter is no more... whatever he is, he is not someone that I care about because he doesn't care about anything but... well, what can you honestly say he cares about besides the abstract concepts of 'home' and Maybe the ephemeral Idea of Luna? Eh, it was a fun story, but soulless!Murderer!Harry is not my thing. Sith!Harry is just plain repugnant. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Huh. No compunction in killing a Jedi? I confess that I'm clueless about the SW 'verse, let alone the long ago history of the Jedi, but... aren't they the 'good guys'? Why would Harry be ok with that? I guess it answers the 'grey or dark' question :( |
![]() ![]() ![]() " and with a little understanding from a blonde friend of his runs though the Veil after him. " I finally stopped and re-read the summary. and an understanding little blonde friend runs through the veil after him... is Not what it says *le sigh* This explains why we haven't seen Luna again *headbang* Huh... well, we're one page away from me walking away. If you're going to turn Harry into a soulless murderer, you can keep him. :( |
![]() ![]() ![]() I do hope he learns Situational Awareness! |
![]() ![]() ![]() OK, I don't mind an info dump all that much when you are combining two very rich 'verses... but I almost need a summary of what the heck all Harry has going on. He's having a clone of himself made, but it will have the Force added through the DNA patterns of Nemo? Said clone will have the Basilisk venom removed (but the DNA pattern saved) and yet keep the Phoenix tears - and be ambidextrous... this process will take a year. Did I miss anything? |
![]() ![]() ![]() A strangely compelling opener. Perhaps Luna's influence? |
![]() ![]() ![]() The worst part of this fic is how long-winded the bad guy povs are. They are all one dimensional and super samey. You could replace all of Albus's bits with 'Albus twirled his mustache evilly' and the story would be the same. Hell, it would be funnier. |
![]() ![]() ![]() I can see why you didn't like the chapter. It was terribly planned and entirely pointless. At this point Harry has operated as a bounty hunter, assassin, sith acolyte, and jedi for many years and you had him captured and tortured by a pack of losers. Weak. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Big brain plan |
![]() ![]() ![]() overall this is a decent read. i do feel like the middle of the fic is a bit lacking in terms of dialogue and plot, instead it reads more or less like outline... some of your scenes had too much detail on explanations for things like tech and magic that I just ended up skipping over because I saw no need to understand the nuances compared to the overall plot. thats an issue a lot of fanfic writers have with wanting to explain every little detail about their version of something... it can get tedious to read if the explanation isn't immediately relevant to the plot. anyways thanks for finishing this up. I think it could have used one scene with Yoda at the end realizing that Harry was the same person from the very beginning so he could eat crow. |
![]() ![]() ![]() ok I more or less binge-read this one. on the whole a really great story. the only thing I really dislike is what you did to Hermione. (I'll not describe it her 'cause spoiler) I'm mean Neville and Dobby got a kinda heroic death, Dobby especially, but Hermione? come on. OTOH that could just be my bias for her *shrug* nonetheless a really great story |
