Reviews for A Symbol of Hope

"Right here was where he initially lost my interest in the story because I initially believed that when he created the story, Izuku's initial plan was to become the first Quirkless hero. I think that he could have done that without One For All."

The only thing that bugs me about this story is you spelling dinner as diner other than that the story is awesome.

It's a shame that the story got abandoned after such a strong start, though that last chapter really hurt my interest anyways. Resorting to crossover characters when they aren't necessary just isn't a good move. Black Star and Tsubaki don't work that well in other fandoms because of the way Soul Eater characters are, and I'd absolutely skip any scene involving them or Big Hero Six if the story had continued

Cant wait for the payback. This is a very good story so far. I honestly wish there was more stories like this. This is very well written and not like other stories, where Izuku kill All for One with only a dagger, no prep time, no help, no info, and his middle school mind. Keep up the good work.

Liten, i also hate that blondie. This story is probably finished by the time i post this, but i want Bakugo to meet Satan, get burned by him, tortured in every way possible while keeping him alive, and then making him be nice to anyone for 1 year straight. If he fails ONCE, he dies and goes to hell where Satan and his most loyal followers to torture the blondie until H*ll freezes over. Why is everyone looking at me as if i planed a murder... Guys... i know this is good, but we can always kill him in our own fanfictions

Just a note, I stopped reading at the beginning of the fight with Iida because you described Izuku as "machine gunning arrows" which forces me to ask... How many arrows does Izuku have? Is he allowed to restock during the festival? Because, as of this point, you only use vague terms to describe his arrow count, which basically means "Izuku has as many arrows as the plot requires him to have, and will only run out of arrows when the plot requires him to do so, or when it is the most dramatically appropriate."

It's just something to think about in your story. Part of the attraction of seeing a mundane person excel in a super powered world is seeing how they work around the limitations. As it is right now, Izuku has functionally infinite arrows, which makes him limitless. You also have Izuku operating at super human levels of power, reflexes, and speed, which is just nonsense.

Izuku should bot be capable of dodging or fighting Iida, he's just too fast. Even someone like Stain who has incredible speed, is overwhelmed by Iida in a fight. It's only due to his greater experience, skill, and quirk that allows him to beat Iida.

Maybe it's just me, but I personally hate when characters in MHA perform superhuman feats unrelated to their quirk. Like Mirio nearly one-shotting Nomu. Because outside of their quirk, people are supposed to be baseline human. To me, it's the most frustrating thing about MHA is when someone gets kicked througha concrete wall, and doesn't have a durability related quirk, and walks away with only a scuff mark.

You're doing something similar here. Izuku is not quirkless. He has a quirk in your story, and that quirk is "Izuku has plot armor and plot sword." It's boring. How does Izuku defeat X person? Trick arrows. What if that doesn't work? Shoot trick arrows faster. What if that still doesn't work? Shoot trick arrows harder and faster.

Like what about clever uses of trick arrows? Like a three-shot combo of Glue Arrow Regular Arrow Ice Arrow? He doesn't fully draw the Glue Arrow so it flies slower, then hits the Glue Arrow with his regular arrow, causing it to detonate and Glue flies everywhere, then he hits the Glue with the Frost arrow and turns it into frozen glob that rams into someone or maybe it falls from above and pancakes them. Maybe the Glue is flammable so a flame arrow can ignite the frozen Glue and the rapid burning causes it to explode into shrapnel. Or make a smoke arrow followed by a flame arrow that ignites the smoke causing an explosion? A concussive arrow that hits the ring floor, causing cracks when it explodes, then an ice arrow that freezes the cracks causing the ground to shatter into difficult terrain.

But even with the above, how it all works out depends on how many of each arrow Izuku has. It's far more exciting for the reader to try and figure out how Izuku will defeat someone using what limitations he has, but right now, he has an infinite supply of every arrow he needs, whenever he needs them. That's boring and defeats the whole point of Izuki being a quirkless hero.

As an aside, I kind of wish you hadn't knocked Shinso out so early. Not because I'm a fan of his, but because another peeve with the MHA universe is how Quirk matches actually do matter. For example, Kaminari defeats Bakugo in every fight. Sure, Kaminari can't control his lightning, but Bakugo cannot be electrocuted and still remain standing. Not without anime "will power/plot armor" nonsense anyway. Realistically, Kaminari bears the majority of the people in the tournament, just because of his electricity being so strong.

Shinso knocking out someone like Bakugo or Todoroki out would be a far better thing for them as characters, because it shows that raw power isn't everything. You can't just get stronger and stronger, because strength isn"t everything. No matter how powerful they are, they cannot do much to someone like Shinso if they fall victim to his quirk. There are lots of examples of characters in MHA that would could curbstomp Bakugo or Todoroki despite having "weaker" quirks. Gentle, for example, could turn the air elastic and rebound an explosion back onto Bakugo. Anyone with the ability to control water could destroy Todoroki because of his reliance on ice. Hell, Jirou can shatter his ice and disrupt Bakugo's explosions with her sonic blasts.

You can't just scream out Plus Ultra and punch harder to defeat whatever problem is in your way. Sorry for the rant.
