I'm sorry, but this is still an impossible premise to work with. You can't build your story on a rotten foundation that misunderstands Asuka while treating Shinji like dirt, then expect some waff to tie everything together. It doesn't matter if some individual elements are good when the core story is so at odds with the original show. Also, Dmitri and the beast suck balls.

This is one of the best fan fics I have ever read, the story and premise is awesome and the introduction of Demetri was just a chefs kiss! As an inspiring boxer the fight scenes were peak! Although they do tend to go on a bit long at times. Also reading the AN at the end was awesome, it was nice to kind of see the backstory and your thoughts on the chapters!

Thank you for making this!

I just wanna say this has been an absolute treat to read, a true embodiment of your soul laid bare doing right by and for these characters and this universe. This regardless of what anyone says is one of the absolute greatest pieces of Evangelion media produced in the past 30 years. It's among the greats such as Ghosts of Evangelion and Evangelion Genocide. I simply lack the power in my prose to adequately describe the amazing journey this has been reading such a story; so much so that I feel almost empty that it's over (with no Under the Bridge continuation thus far) and there's simply nothing like it.

There's nothing more beautiful than two incredibly damaged people who hurt one another time and time again coming to terms with the damage done and doing their absolute best to go on living to be better for one another and to atone. For both Shinji and Asuka there's no magic spell that will make their trauma disappear, erase the hurt inflicted on one another but that doesn't mean they can't do their damn best to try. I love this story and everything it stands for and it's taught me a lot in terms of healing and healthy development moving forward one day at a time. By no means is my review eloquent or poignant enough to make much difference but I wanted to say the thoughts and feelings I have on this story are something I'll treasure and I cannot thank you enough. Please wherever you are and whatever you're doing these days; keep writing. You do these beloved characters jsutice and it's had an immensely positive effect on my life. Thank you so much.

I can sing this fics praises to the moon and while I can wax poetics about the brilliant themes, heartwarming romance and the dense and flavorful writing I think I'd rather share a personal story how this fic helped me.

I'm a fighting game commentator and last week I flew out to UT to commentate for Tekken 8 and our event was going to be hosted on the largest FGC twitch page which was also th largest audience I ever talked to. It was a make or break moment and in my mornings, the flight over and when I had a spare moment I would be reading scar tissue to keep myself calm. During the tournament we had an Asuka in Grand finals and because of reading HOURS of your story and being a huge Eva fan I allowed myself to just go all in with Eva references that delighted the crowd. There's one moment linked below that I feel like you had a hand in manifesting as I felt the symbolic prose of your writing flow through my mouth as ai delivered a line that felt like it could have fit in scar tissue when I described a player being fueled by anger.

This is a highlight in my FGC career that you helped make happen and I'm forever grateful

Best fanfic of all times. The darkness in the first few chapters were really good and really make the ending so much better.

Kyoko might be the best mother in law of all time she got Shinji a whole nother Asuka.

Poor Shinji, feeding his new forty meter tall girlfriend is gonna be quite the challenge

Was kinda hoping they’d do a dual sync with 02

It is a pity that the author did not have the courage to kill a cowardly nobody. It would be possible to develop only Asuka and other characters. To pass off Asuka as an ordinary guy, and kill the nonentity, because of his uselessness for the plot. However, I agree with something, I also wanted to kill the jerk, skin him alive so that he screamed during the process, after which this skin can be given to Asuka.

So I read this story ages ago and fell in love with it, before it was completed. I left a review back then, sometime in 2015 at around chapter 17. Nine years later, I reread the whole thing again and my mind is blown.
Not only is the way the characters are portrayed and developed phenomenal, the plot addictive enough to have kept me from sleeping properly for the past few days and even somehow making me really respect Dmitri's character despite his pure, unadulterated insanity a genuis-level feat in itself, somehow the story was really helping me deal with some of my own issues that have cropped up lately.

It might sound over the top, but reading Scar Tissue was a kind of therapy I really needed and I can't thank you enough for it. Keep being awesome and I look forward to seeing what incredible stories to write in the future!

Also, I feel like I spied some references to some abridged series I've seen on YouTube and that gave me a good chuckle! I love them a lot.
Thanks again!

This fic is cool

HE WAS A TRIPLE AGENT!?
I revoke my previous comment about Dmitri.
Bro is pretty chill when he's not murdering people.
Also, I started reading at 12:00 am, It's currently 3:38 am
My parents are half asleep right now and I'm writing this scared they'll wake up.

I hope this Dmitri bitch dies a horrible, horrible death.
I hope he begs for mercy as he watches as his skin gets cut later by layer, baked into fucking lasagna and force fed to him.

God this Dmitri bitch sucks ass

God, im gonna have to leave a review on every chapter what the fuck

Yo what the fuck
