Reviews for True Elision |
---|
Rirren chapter 16 . 11/3 This is actually a review for chapter 19, cos I couldn't add more to my existing review. This weird building is really interesting, it's got me thinking that it's maybe the next stage of trials Everybody's wandering around looking for their "one" but maybe this is some way for people to progress and grow if they haven't found that person yet... But it does feel really sinister, like it is just a building that is trying to eat people and will stay there and tempt people in until it's had its fill. The dead bodies in the wall was super creepy, and I liked L and Light thoroughly investigating it first to try to determine if it's dangerous or not. Also! I love L sneakily tricking Light so he can eat from his hand xD And he hasn't even told Light about the fruit being delicious that way ahahahahah Light's character growth in this chapter is great! Him enjoying solving the elisions and feeling good that he's helped other people, thinking about Nora and the other elisions being happy It's really sweet. I think it also shows how solving elisions is satisfying his altruistic desires much better than the Death Note did. Anyway, looking forward to seeing what happens in the next chapter! |
Rirren chapter 19 . 10/30 Loving the new chapters. I read this fic when it first came out and I thought about it a lot in the years since. I love how creative Mu is. The idea of Raito solving elisions is really interesting and satisfying. I hadn't considered in at all before but it makes a lot of sense. It feels like a way for Raito to redeem himself. Anyway, really enjoying this. Can't wait for the next chapter! |
Rirren chapter 18 . 10/4 I was so excited to see that you're continuing this. This story has been one that I've thought about a lot over the years. It's such an interesting original concept for the afterlife and I always wondered how it would have finished. Anyway, I really enjoyed this chapter! Finally Raito & L's relationship is softening a bit, love Raito getting distracted looking at L, and I think L might be having the same issue, judging by how he was watching Raito chop wood without a top on. I was surprised to see that the elisions can be "fixed", I didn't expect anything to happen further with that plotpoint but I'm really into it now. It's really nice to think that people could actually shelter in those houses and feel safe. Also the fruit being delicious if you eat it from someone else's hand is awesome! Hope to see Raito eat from L's hand next xD I look forward to the next chapter and hope everything is going well with your life! |

PurpleKyu chapter 15 . 8/31/2023 I hope you still get these messages from long-time fans of your fic! I truth, I read this fic first as it was being published, and it's been quite a few years. I know in the last couple of chapters you mentioned that you were getting busy and doubtful of your own characterizations, so let me say that of all the Death Note fics I have read, this is the one that I remember the most. These days I mostly read on AO3 and have drifted away from the Death Note fandom, but the new Death Note musical reminded me of everything. And this was the fic I wanted to reread the most, because it has stuck in my brain as bring so well-written and having such utter care put into the world building, such dedication to believable characterization and character growth. And perhaps the unflinching approach towards forcing Light to face his own foibles, his own hypocrisies! Many fics use horror and torture porn as a form of plot, but in this fic they feel not at all like 'torture porn' but rather the real extremes it would take to force Light to do any sort of introspection at all! So much of the experiences Light has to go through are so raw and grossly evocative that the horror really jumps off the page (well, screen). The trauma and reactions to trauma are unique among fics in that the growth feels believable. I suppose I can't emphasize that enough. Light maintains his arrogance, his pride, and his righteousness, even at the end of his Trial. Yes, he's changed, but his personality feels very much still in-character. I feel a large part of it is how much care you took to write out this development. The fact that everything was so slow going is a huge point in its favor; most fics, I think, often rush it to get to the romance. But you didn't, and it resulted in what I think is one of the best afterlife-continuations and deep analysis of Light's character in the fandom. Despite the fact that the fic is unfinished, I think even in its current form it remains one of the best Death Note fics out there. I know I'll be rereading it for years. |
