She either beat contessa or she doesnt. Your shit fic has it a stalemate that just doesnt make any logical sense other than author fiat that is bad writing that needs deleted of this site because you are a terrible author. Never write again.

this was a decent fic so far. but I'm out after this chapter. it was extremely disappointing and idc what character growth comes from itit leaves such a foul taste in my mouth that I'm just done with the fic.

path to victory isn't an instant I Win buttonwhat makes it interesting is its failures, not its victories. and now you've made this whole fic uninteresting.

this chapter was stupid

I'm just going to throw this out there now, but this went from a good fic to shit fic in a instant, cortessa is such a boring mary sue mcguffin that its painful to read anything about her winning, the fact everyone thinks she always wins is crap and instantly ruins a good fanfiction whenever she's written in.

This really pissed me off, and killed the sense of agency in this story.

For Taylor to have any real agency you NEED to have Taylor either defeat Contessa, or fight her to a standstill.

Having Contessa win ruins the story.

better to leave her out of it entirely, if you don't want Taylor to win over Contessa.

It is a confrontation you didn't need to have happen.

Livsey, not Livesey

You nerfed her power so much and further hindered her potential influence due to her extreme caution that I am honestly unsure why the Simurgh had to die in this story. This is just Taylor with a worse version of Path to Victory and minor telekinesis. Nothing here is really similar to the infamous Hopekiller imo.

Also the description says that Queen Administrator cannibalized Simurgh, but doesn't that mean that she has still bug control? Why is that missing? Her power should have showed that as an option if it still exists.

Overall, I still enjoyed the read and I wish you good luck and much creativity in the future :)

How to destroy interesting premise?
NERF EVERYTHING ABOUT MC and BOOST everything about EVIL!

Trash...

Love love love

Meh, I lost interest after chapter 3. You gave Taylor Simurgh powers then nerfed the shit outta them.

This is too good to drop, can you update this plz

It is indeed a fix-it fic...if you consider Taylor's actions as 'fixing' the future to a path lol. Either way, the Simurgh is crazy OP even when sandbagging...Taylor's power levels make sense if you factor in her status as a squishy human and relative unfamiliarity with her powers.

Awesome.

clap...clap...clap...clap...clap...good story...clap...clap...clap...bye
