Reviews for A Ruinous Gift |
---|
![]() ![]() ![]() On the one hand, I can understand why some folks might think you'd gotten bored of it as that ending did feel a touch rushed. Which is kind of ironic since from the moment Eidolon became aware of Psyker and her capabilities an Endbringer attack was always going to be the end result, and it going to happen with a quickness. While I'm not going to claim to be a master of Worm Lore (Down that road lies madness and disappointment or so I'm told) from what I've heard, at the heart of every single Endbringer attack was someone or something that was outshining Eidolon as a hero, making more of a difference in the world than he was, or just having annoyed Eidolon enough (Looking at you CUI). So naturally, when confronted by someone like Psyker who had an entire plan laid out that would solve the world's space whale infestation all by her lonesome and essentially being told "Since you guys clearly can't be trusted to handle things, I'll just do it myself so cede control or get out of the way," his ego was only ever going to allow one response to be sent through the shard nobody was supposed to have: Ruin this girl's everything, I don't care how hard you have to go on it. And thus, we have pretty much everyone Simmy could get ahold of on short, by her standards, notice rolling up to pee on Psyker's parade. So in the end, meh, while I'd have loved to see an ending where Psyker gets to go through with her original plan, have a nice "WTF?!" moment when she realizes that Zion's mind is snack sized (Which was a downright hilarious little twist), and see all of her pet projects to fruition what we got absolutely fit and I still enjoyed the ride and am looking forward to seeing what you do in the future. Doubly so since a Cyberpunk crossover sounds freaking ~wild~ for a post-GM cast. |
![]() ![]() ![]() it was great! I'm very excited for your next projects, and fully understand when you say you painted a corner and chose to remain faithful to the world. thank you for your writing, and be well. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Though I felt the epilogue was fitting, the previous chapter was a big let down. The first half was really good but when you threw the Endbringers in and went from pure devastation to everyone's dead to Taylor's a God you completely destroyed what was my favorite active fanfic. All the plot points, character developments and world building was tossed aside and this fic is made much lesser for it. I was hoping for a good cat and mouse scenario with the 9 and it was building up to be something really cool, but my hopes were dashed. I honestly wish you would have decided to put this story on hiatus and come back when you felt ready to give this fanfic the attention it deserves. |
![]() ![]() ![]() this one totally needs a rewrite with your intended longer story. it did seem rushed, because the slaughterhouse 9 should have been dealt with then the angel then the leviathan and titan simultaneously then finally the golden boy should have stayed the disappointment. no i think this has so much more potential. i loved this character so much for being someone whose ideology is so close to mine. not dark. just different and generally benevolent. we read what we want i out heroes after all. and what a hero you made. i'll miss this world and think on it fondly. thank you for the stories. i'll remember them for my entire life. |
![]() ![]() ![]() That's a fun and different ending! Very cool, thank you! |
![]() ![]() we've been waiting for an update to skitterdoc for a year now. please fill that void! |
![]() ![]() ![]() Last chapter threw me for a loop after first read…but after rereading I really enjoy and respect how everything played out! Great story, top shelf reading material. Solid ending to an awesome adventure. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Although sad at the abrupt end, the epilogue was very satisfying. Thank you for another great story. |
![]() ![]() ![]() i mean while you arent wrong per say, but it absolutely does feel like you were building up to something but 'and then the antagonist slipped on a banana peel and broke his neck'. We were robbed i say, robbed! Oh well, at least a finished fic is finished and won't be abandoned. Funnily enough when she mentioned those 4 playing games i didnt think of chaos gods, but of darkwolfshiro's guild lmao. |
![]() ![]() ![]() thanks for another interesting story - and making it easy to understand even without Warhammer background. looking forward to the next fic :) all the best to you and yours! |
![]() ![]() I have enjoyed all your stories, the final battle of this one did seem like it was pushed, but still a good end game. The Epilogue was a noce finish. looking forward to your next work. |
![]() ![]() ![]() The ending had to come sooner or later. Sad that it ended, glad that it happened. Baller story. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Sad to see it go, but looking forward to the next! |
![]() ![]() ![]() Thanks for the ending, and the story overall. Was as a good a place to end it, as anywhere else, with how quickly things escalated. Thanks again and I quite enjoyed it, it was pretty fun overall :D |
![]() ![]() ![]() You stumbled a bit closer to the end chapters but stuck the landing decently enough. Thx, now I’m going to read your new Cyberpunk fic |
