![]() ![]() I see Nelly CorNELIa |
![]() ![]() Honestly I really loved the Kallen imitating Luciano strategy on Monica. One of the coolest things about this fic. |
![]() ![]() ![]() I don't want to be a dick but this is the first code geass fanfic I've read that's actually maliciously bad. The writer just not knowing how to do what they're trying to do I can understand, but this fanfic is filled with things that are just objectively false decisions made by the writer that completely fucks it up. I don't know how to explain it any other way. First of all, the humorous way of writing this fanfic can be fun at times, but it also acts as a way of masking how out of character most of the cast is. Marrybells plan is completely schizophrenic, and her somehow managing to slip through Lelouch's defenses by 'him hoping she was different' is just outlandish. It's fucking Lelouch, this guy unironically thought CORNELIA, the girl who idolized her mother had a hand in assassinating her. He is that paranoid of a character, he definitely would have foiled her plans far earlier. I liked Marrybell and her goon squad at first, her mental breakdowns were fun. But her somehow managing to slip through and fool everyone in that mental state, executing a plan perfectly, and managing to fool Kallen on something so obvious when Kallen is far more mentally stable than her is just impossible. Marrybell seems like she's only mentally unstable when the plot needs her to be; otherwise, she's practically Lelouch 2: Electric Boogaloo. Also, in an attempt to not have the antagonists be 'shallow', they were made to be completely annoying instead. Some chapters were straight-up unreadable with how boring they were. Also uhh, this is meant to be fanfiction on Kallen joining Lelouch when he's emperor. How the fuck did we get here? Either way, this fanfic had its fun moments. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Funnily enough, i‘m more interested in C.C. And Suzaku‘s side quest over lelouch and kallen. |
![]() ![]() ![]() From start to finish, everyone was out of fucking character. People just don’t talk that way whether in fiction or in real life. It’s like you got ahold of a dictionary and decided to use all the big words you could find. The way you wrote how these characters act don’t even feel like them. It’s such a shame because this plot actually has so much potential… then you turned it into such a disgusting mess. Everything is fucking cringe as well, like the chapter titles which you are so very proud of, it reads like a 14 year old trying to mix up random words to sound quirky. If it’s a crack fic I’d understand, but naaah bro it’s horrendous. I really REALLY hope this is just me flaming this story, but it’s actually the objective truth. My fault for reading it all the way through goddamn. |
![]() ![]() ![]() "And it's trending with '#massacreprincess'… oh, dear." Announced the young commander fearfully, her hands passively shaking ever so slightly. "Oh… no, Euphie's account posted a video…" *aggresive Growls can be heard in the background* |
![]() ![]() ![]() Mah, i think changing Euphys character is in this case an character assassination Hope that she doesn’t go down the dark path like the rest of her siblings |
![]() ![]() Where the fuck did the story go? Hey, audience, can you help us find the story? The author seems to have unraveled its entire fucking continuity. Jesus Christ, from start to finish, this was trash. |
![]() ![]() ![]() God this is so fucking retarded. It started nicely, then you brought Euphie back. CU won't just return souls of departed because of Geass, Canon Geass isn't so powerful like it was in NoN. But no, let's just add Deus Ex Machina to tickle drama, we are smart aren't we. However while this trope was stupid as fuck, it would've been a good reason to stop Zero Requiem, Suzaku is betrayer in nature so it's not surprising for him to betray Lelouch again. Then Lelouch could've to forget about ZR and find a nature of life and absolution by being a just emperor, with Kallen and C.C to support him. And then you added Marrybell's arc, her cringe singing and unnecessary madness. What the fuck did Marry did to you? How the fuck did you turn Kallen-centric fic into clusterfuck of PoVs and similar shit? Entire coup arc was so terrible that even Akito movie looks like thriller bestseller compared to this. Excalibur another Deus Ex Machina, guarded only by 5 people and not geassed to shoot anyone who isn't Emperor his Knights and Consorts? Lelouch wasn't that dumb to allow such weapon to be protected so terribly. There are lots of plot holes and weird decisions you did there author, but I still read you fic author-san. Sorry for long rant but I'm so pissed that a promising fic turned into Dollar Store Game of Thrones |
![]() ![]() ![]() I'm so glad you killed off Anya, since it shows you're not afraid of killing main characters... But wait, what am I talking about, Glinda Knights are the main cast, and they're doing perfectly fine. Who knew taking the capital of the Empire is so easy? Certainly not Schneizel. But it's not his fault, you can't blame him for not having Glinda Knights in his employ. Hope you'll kill off those pesky antagonists, like those stupid Kallen and Suzaku brats, they're not that tough. Suzaku couldn't even kill nobody in a direct confrontation, what a champ. And Lelouch. Amazing super plans saving damsels in distress. While he's doing that, we all can enjoy listening to C.C. screams for another few days. Glory to the Glinda Knights. Fucking incredible the ways authors can get lost in their own head sometimes. Joking aside, I think that you're a talented writer, just not that great at overall pacing and quick to lose focus. There are more apparent problems in later chapters, but aside from that, maybe work on your slow romance writing, because it feels like you can only write romance if it's angsty or tragic, but if everyone is content and there are no apparent drama then you're fleeing to the hills. On a plus side, you set up tension incredibly well, and your dialog and character voices are all great. ...Maybe aside from later chapters, it got really too much with side characters and music references. |
![]() ![]() ![]() I hope the next chapter is about Glinda Knights painting their nails and singing your favorite songs. Wait, it's not "Glinda Knights' redemption in classic three act structure"? But-but I could've sworn... |
![]() ![]() ![]() Your problem with Marrybell is that you didn't need her. Right now she's this story's Suzaku. Annoying self righteous teenager with visions of grandeur, that gets in the way of actually interesting stuff. If I wanted that, I would just rewatch the anime, to remember why I hated Suzaku the first time. You didn't need to create "the plot". Not every story needs to be the same structure, not every story even needs an antagonist. Though by this point I guess the premise of it is way misleading, since Kallen is not even there most of the time. What is this story even about now? You didn't need to make a sudden but inevitable betrayal subplot, you had everything you need to make interesting changes to the last few canon episodes. If you wanted more, you could have just gone political, show us what Lelouch would have done as a proactive benevolent Emperor. Some big changes, maybe controversial at first sight. Everything from Kallen's perspective, maybe how she learns from him, how she counterbalances his more callous decisions. Anyway, with only a few chapters left, I will finish them out of stubbornness, since I'm too invested by now, but stuff like that really grinds my gears. |
![]() ![]() ![]() While i loved Zero Requiem from the narrative perspective, realistically it's... Not a very bright idea. Former grudges wont just disappear, human nature wont suddenly change to the one without greed, pride or anger. Lelouch at least is a proven leader, that can proactively change things for the better. The full unification of humanity, maybe start the space age... Hell, I'm sure there would be plenty of his fans irl even if he went full evil tyrant irl. The anime was focused on making a spectacle, not on a realistic portrayal of politics. I'm pretty sure it was a full blown Jesus Christ reference with a twist. |
![]() ![]() ![]() While it's definitely an asspull, bringing Euphimia back neatly neutralizes Suzaku's worst traits and brings a sane person with a strong agenda into their inner circle, and both are heavy blows to Zero Requiem. It would also be very interesting to see her reactions and interactions besides. |
