I'm guessing this story is abandoned since it hasn't been updated in 5 years

Just letting you know, people still read this and really hope you will continue it

Absolutly amazing! Hope you decide to continue it!

A bit disheartening to see that this story hasn't been updated in three years. I quite enjoyed it. Your take on Asuka is refreshingly original, while still being believable. I could very well see her become obsessed with becoming the most effective EVA pilot, instead of the best one. Especially considering the fact that she has a college degree at her age, this is a more mature and - in my humble opinion - more consistent reaction to her trauma (consistent with her backstory, that is).

Awesome.

I do love this Asuka, her change in character is nice to see, in canon she is very much stereotypical tsndere, (or maybe every other tsundere is like asuka?) and her stand-off ish nature overshadows the fact that she is a genius. She did complete highschool at what? 09? College at 11? Eva training for years,

Hopefully the hiatus will end soon!

Wow i actually love this story, i think your version is a lot better than the anime. Keep up the good work and please update soon.

Its a really nice story, and its good to see the changes in the story just from Asuka being more balanced and then able to understand how screwed up Shinji is and also not be immediately set off by Rei and the others actions and personalities by having more control over her temper. wish you'd update this again!

You know, this is really good! The characterlization managed to stick with canon while inserting some new elements. However, I expect a major breakthrough in the upcoming chapters.

MORE!

Argh, this needs to be finished. It's too good to be left hanging.

Damn, I was skeptical about such a basic about such a basic premise but this is some good stuff. A more self aware Asuka (and even a slightly more self aware Shinji) make for more satisfying character interactions.

Pretty sure I've commented on this before, but even knowing it's unfinished it was too good not to read one more time when I stumbled across it again. Still hoping you'll continue this some day.

I hope, if you're not planning to continue this, that whatever you are doing with your time is bringing you happiness.

Thanks for writing!

Strange take on the nice Asuka

Well, actually brillance is usually a hindrance when it comes to studying other people's characters. Ironically, your brillance limits your understanding, because the higher the intellect, the harder it is to apprehend how a normal person thinks.

Merry Christmas! When are you coming out with a new chapter for this story? It's been NINE MONTHS since the last chapter.
