This is the first fanfiction story I have read since I was a child. The first Eva fic, Asushin fic. The very first thing I found after finishing the original series and EoE. It blew me away. I found myself engaged with every part of the story. At first I wasn't a huge fan of the OC's, but grew to like them. That being said, I won't lie and say that I wasn't reading through every scene hoping that the next was one was an Asuka or Shinji scene, hopefully one with them together. The way you handled their relationship, especially at the beginning with all of the hurt, pain, and lack of understanding they were suffering from was great. And when the walls finally came down and they became an item together, it was actually peak fiction. Everything I was wanting from NGE I got here. Which was mostly more Asushin.

I wanted to thank you especially for writing this, for getting me hooked onto this ship and this fandom as a whole. The Asushin subreddit and discord, and just Evangelion in general. This was a great segue into all of it there's so much quality content put out for this niche little fandom even 30 years after NGE's release.

This story is awesome! One of the best Fan Fics I have ever read!

Thank you for making this!

Absolute cinema

It's so peak, the gritty parts, the technical and military stuff, the happy and the absofuckinglutely gut wrenching parts, the wholesome, everything presented thus far, all of it, the way it was detailed, how YOU set the tone and feel of the scenes like it was a good movie. My jaw is agape. I'd take amnestics so I can relive reading this again, as nothing else in my life made me feel what this absolute of a banger did. Eva fics like these make me convinced that some of these are so good that they can be used as a script for an anime adaptation for something. I rate it 547 Idiot Shinji's out of 100 Rebuild endings.

Rwally enjoyed this story thankyoy.

This is kind of AdviceTrust's darker more mature side. Still a cracker of a read.

This took me a long time to finish. I'll admit, for as good as it is, some of Asuka's uglier behavior in the earlier chapters put me off. Not because it didn't make sense for her to be like that, I just wasn't in a good headspace at the time, and seeing characters that you really care about and identify with treat each other that badly can be really hard to get through.

But I'm glad that I did. You took them to their lowest depths and still manged to believably and satisfactorily bring them back up again. And even with the scars and the somber nature of them being trapped in a gilded cage, at least they got something of a happy ending together.

And Rei got a girlfriend. Always a plus

To be a pilot is to suffer. Congratulations on your initiation Keiko!

30 on her first synch is mediocrity? Shinji only hit the forties on his and everyone seemed pretty impressed with that

tldr

bro why everyone mad like bruh where's the asushin

I came into this with the mindset of only reading a few pages and moving on. Instead, it left an impression on me. That has NEVER happened before on this website; this story caught me off guard. The characterization and dialogue of the Eva characters are on point. It takes some real talent to write good dialogue and even more so for believable dialogue of established characters. Probably helps that Eva characters were designed to act like people with real personal issues and not cartoonish; most of the time. Anyway, this story feels like it was professionally written. Emotions being expressed as physical feelings the characters experience is very rarely seen on this site; a very welcome sight. The plot is quite a departure from Anno's Devilman quest. Honestly feels more natural for events to progress the way they do in this story than in canon (not trying to knock on EoE but going from "phew, we made it, we're okay" to "forget shit, the whole sewer hit the fan" feels so different from the show that it doesn't feel like the same show). Its very fulfilling.
It says a lot about the quality of your fan work when it's being published in a magazine and has fans drawing comics.

This story took me a while to finish, but it was well worth it. Outstanding writing, characterization, dialogue, and action. This is by far the greatest NGE fic I've read, and one of the best fics in any fandom I have ever encountered. The characters here all feel incredibly realistic, complex, and most importantly, believable extensions of their canon counterparts. And unlike many fics, there's very little wish fulfillment in this story-everything feels earned and the payoffs are well worth the wait.

Well done.

I love the original series and End of Evangelion. However upon seeing the Rebuild films, while I did enjoy them overall and found the ending to be good, poetic, yet I still couldn't help but feel empty and unsatisfied by the end. Something was missing, and I couldn't let go of the series yet. 'Til just recently, I found users on the net mentioning NGE: Genocide. I was surprised by the length of this fanfic; it was labeled at 1071 pages long (according to Goodreads). I thought this has to be some serious work considering the length. Now I've never ever read fan fiction ever, but I was looking for closure with the series. And I'm glad I did. It truly feels like the sequel I wanted to the original series but never got, officially. Had I not known this was a fanfic I would've thought this was an official novel, seriously. NGE: Genocide has all the elements that makes the series so great and beloved, but Genocide at its core is a love story, and it's a sight to behold. I could go on and on about how much I loved this fanfic, so I'll just say this, I feel so fullfilled by the time I reached the end of the story. I created this account just to read and give it a thumbs up. It is a long novel, but it's worth your time and I absolutely recommend it, especially to fans of a certain redhead and her favorite idiot.

NGE Genocide is a must read for any fan of the series. Rommels writing style paints a vivid image in the mind of the reader, easily allowing anyone to become immersed. I read the whole thing in a few nights and was left desperate for more yet glad that it ended on a satisfactory and hopeful note.

This is one story you won’t regret giving your time to.
