AhsokaTano2291 chapter 35 . 9/15 Loved the story. It was interesting to see how Harry dealt with his future knowledge and the various things that happened to him |
ObsessivelyObsessiveObsession chapter 23 . 9/13 Honestly, Harry deserved this. Not in a karmic wayHarry is a good guy and doesnt deserve to have his wife diebut because of his own actions. Dude knows what kind of person Voldemort is. He knows what he’s up against. He knows, be it due to Death or Fate, that he and Voldemort are mortal enemies. And what does he do? He joins the war half-cocked. He makes himself a public, well known #1 enemy of the entire Pureblood faction and Voldemort. And instead of being proactive, instead of doing everything he can to protect his family and kill the people trying to kill him, he just reacts to Death Eater attacks. He doesnt seek them out. He doesn’t try and hide his family or protect them in any real way. He doesnt make any real steps to kill Voldemort. He just shows up some nights, makes everyone run away, and then goes home to play Quidditch. He is treating the war like a recreational hobby he occasionally indulges in. Meanwhile? His enemies are all in. They do nothing but focus on the war. Voldemort is planning, making allies, playing the political game, learning magic, and eliminating enemies. Voldemort is actually waging war and Harry is just out here living life. He is half in and half out. If he wanted to live life and have a family, then he should’ve never joined the war in the first place. He should have tried to remain neutral and not become an enemy of Voldemort. Instead, he wants the best of both worlds. He wants to live a nice, happy life, and somehow defeat voldemort… The ONLY reason he has any chance at all is because a literal godlike being is saving him at every step. Harry doesnt dedicate his life to learning magic to fight? Death just possesses him and casts spells for him. Harry doesnt try and dive into obsure magic to become powerful? Death hands him an entire branch of unique magic. Harry fails at everystep to do anything against voldemort? Death sends him back in time. Harry lets his wife die because he is not taking the war seriously? Death brings her back. At this point, its not even Harry vs Voldemort. It’s Death vs Voldemort, and Harry is just caught in the middle. Narcissa shouldve stayed dead to motivate Harry. Because otherwise, Harry really deserves to lose this war. |
slytherinsal chapter 32 . 9/11 read your note on the next chapter. Nothing to stop you self-publishing your originalworks. I scrape a living doing so. It's not lucrative,but amazon are good to their writers. I applaud your integrity and your generosity to your readers in turning down something which must have been tempting. |
marcellsmoot chapter 35 . 9/10 I love you man |
dlowe2651 chapter 35 . 8/30 fucking awesome update again soon |
Anon chapter 12 . 8/24 Decent story, thanks for writing. One thing that does not really work, however, is the number of attacks and the aftermath. “Villages” burnt and multiple dead couldn’t be covered up, even in 1975, no matter how many obliviators are used. Detracts a bit from the story itself. Also seems a bit unlikely that Harry would not know or would simply sit on the sidelines, let alone playing quidditch… |
keeperofthevoid chapter 35 . 8/25 Incredible! I loved this story, very well written and a great take on the AU Harry as well as MoD Harry. |
SleepingFox09 chapter 35 . 8/23 I read the whole story in 3 days. It was really good, thank you so much for completing it. PS: At the end I thought it would end with old Harry meeting death again, it would have been really good but I'm satisfied with the dialogue between Harry and Olin :) |
Guest chapter 4 . 8/14 The MC just falls flat. He is your usual ignorant, stupid, retarded Harry who knows less than Jon Snow at the best of times. He has no plan. No advantage. Not even desire to deal with his enemies properly and the past 4 chapters, he spent in fucking hospital. It is quite lackluster. |
DragonsAndBroomsticks chapter 23 . 8/12 Holy hell this is THE most INSANE twist in ANY fic I've ever come across that I can remember, and trust me I've gone through a fuckton of them. I usually post reviews after completing a fic, but man this is madness, and I'm loving it. I'll save all my ranting about everything I liked about it for when I've read it all, but rest assured, you've officially blown my mind even more than When the Roses Bloom Again. And one more thing. I'm really, really convinced that the 'cloacked figure' is a certain Prophecy Child who went on to become death itself. Await my review, FOR I SHALL RETURN. |
Visionless1 chapter 35 . 8/8 decent story line. a good mix of drama, action, some adventure and certainly more action. :) yeah, read your a/n about publishers. to me, that sounds like they wanted exclusive access, and probably wouldn't have paid quite as well as would be expected. They would have also demanded that you write many books (which could lead to writers burnout). In any case, glad you decided to stay on here. |
kawasaki1298 chapter 1 . 8/7 Holy fuck was that a first chapter bravo couldnt put my phone down 10/10 |
Scabbers1957 chapter 35 . 7/26 Awesome, this was an awesome, awesome story. I'll add it to my favorites. :)) On another note, I wonder why Peter still involved himself with the DEs when he could see how they and Volemort were getting their collective arses handed to them. He wasn't marked, so why would he continue being with them. |
Radia004 chapter 3 . 7/21 I love Olin so much, lol! |
gauravan13 chapter 35 . 7/7 I am truly grateful. Thank you for writing this story. I loved the character development and the plot. I hope you keep writing such stories and keep improving. I wish you luck in life. |
