Reviews for Harry Evans: Memoirs of a well-lived Death (SI) |

![]() ![]() ![]() Seems likely, again, that there should be a whole legion of light spells that never got touched upon in canon that exist and are devastatingly effective at what they do. Defense to block the unforgivables, righteous anger/justice, incredibly lethal without falling dark as you do nothing more than put down a terror etc |
![]() ![]() ![]() Incredibly well done chapter like usual and all that... but "support my mom's second favorite son" had me crying |
![]() ![]() ![]() Fuck Patreon, all my homies hate Patreon. Jokes aside. Im absolutely loving this story and it never fails to give a small amount of joy whenever I see an update. Ive come to class this fic as my ‘high fic’. As whenever theres an update. Im in the process of rolling a joint, smoking a joint, or already high off my balls. Theres some weird magic at play. Im telling ya. Anyways, keep up the incredible fucking work. I cant wait for the next update. |

![]() ![]() ![]() Unfortunately, this story does seem to be going down hill a little, not only is it incredibly slow paced, but seems to be woven in such a way that you never really feel "good" reading about the MC, nor likely to take joy or intrigue from the story being told. The most enjoyable parts have been because of a hat, The author seems to be aims for a adult/more mature Harry through his years of Hogwarts story, but without having identified what made people enjoy the original even if they weren't particularly well written. Its the sense of adventure, the overcoming of great odds, the exciting world of something magical, of something new, but all we get is a mature and boring Harry, who's actions and thoughts remind me of a middle age man with a boring job who wished he traveled more. There's no wonder to this, no thrill or suspense, just a feeling of It was all connective tissue with no actual muscle—lots of movement, no impact. Or to summarize my Chat... Initial Impressions vs. Final Verdict: A Promising Start That Fizzles Out Rating: 4.5/10 It started with promise—a mature, slow-burn tone that felt like a thoughtful evolution of a more whimsical past. Early on, I appreciated the care in pacing and the subtle character moments. At that stage, it felt like a solid 7.5. But as the chapters wore on, the story stalled. The quiet tone became monotony, the plot lost momentum, and what once felt reflective began to feel aimless. There were few emotional payoffs, little tension, and a growing sense of "and then this happened..." without weight or consequence. That said, it’s clear the author can write. The potential is absolutely there—the prose is capable, the world has depth, and there’s a quiet confidence in how it’s all presented. I still think there’s a strong story buried in here, and with a bit more energy or narrative drive, this could absolutely turn around. I’d be curious to see where the author goes next, because with some tuning, I think they have the tools to craft something truly compelling. |

![]() ![]() ![]() Well, it's good to have another easy mkde of access to hogwarts. There's no way to be sure whether elves coming and going is noticable by the wards and therefore Headmaster. The Cabinet clearly can get you in and out without notice, elves has no concrete indicator. I find it dubious that nobody in history ever wondered if their teleporting servants could access others warded property, nor that after that thought, they didn't bother checking whether their own wards would stop a hostile elf from getting through theirs. I'd say it's more likely Rowling didn't consider it than that it makes any sense nobody has ever thought of using elves this way and tried to abuse it. It didn't occur to her that the entire 5th book makes no sense in a world with truth serum, mind reading, and virtual reality bowls that can play back memories in 3d formatting, yet nobody in the Order nor the Ministry considered proving/disproving Harry with any of these. Even the public offer by Harry to answer pre agreed questions about that night would have immediately thrown the entire public into doubting the Ministers propaganda, because why else would the Potter boy offer to undergo such an invasive thing? |
![]() ![]() ![]() a self insert is not harry potter and never will be no matter how much the writer wish's they where |
![]() ![]() ![]() nice |
![]() ![]() ![]() Empotional realism? Im afraid that ship has set sail. At least in relation to what readers can relate to. And thats simply because your Harry SI is a genuine, honest to God functioning autistic boy. Like FR moderately autistic. I dont think your average reader can relate to his sense of emotions lmao |
