Reviews for The Tale of the Utterly Gutsy Shinobi
Asianman14 chapter 4 . 7/2
Aah yes the idea of a dragon being real is impossible to a guy that has fought corpses capable of leveling cities and beasts that can level mountain ranges. Gargantuan size beasts that dwarf everything, and include stuff like a raccoon the size of a skyscraper made out of magic sand, and a skyscraper size squid ape that can ooze lava from its body. Those are way more realistic than some dragon. :)

I'm becoming more annoyed at this fanfic. He's such a pushover. A lot of people are already mistreating him and he's okay withot. And he doesn't know how to be a ninja at all. I mean I get that coz he's Naruto. But he should atleast be wary about giving information to the enemy. He could've just misled him by acknowledging that he was from Edolas. BUT NOOO... he said he's from Konoha. Fucking stupid cunt.

This Naruto is so OC really. too calm and too shrunken . not nearly as loud and outspoken. Did u mix his personality with Minato or something?

You know, since this Nirvana mission started, you really tested my resolve. I kept thinking "If Naruto killed someone, I'm gonna stop reading this story", but you wrote story with great style and there are few good xover Naruto Fairy Tail fics (for me) out there and I don't want to miss the chance to read this until the end. So, I just dragged myself to finish reading this. And I can't say I regret this. Yes, you last updated this years ago. Yes, there are a few outcomes that I hope didn't happen. But for me, it's a bittersweet experience.

officially: this story is one of my favorites on this site. I hope you will continue it in the near future!
I absolutely like it!)
majorshane chapter 19 . 4/12/2022
Boy this story is good. Like seriously, this is such a good story. I find myself coming back and rereading git every so often. If it ever got deleted I would die. If it ever gets updated I will jizz in my pants.

(Posting review of chapter 19 instead of 20 because I already reviewed chapter 20).
DARB29 chapter 20 . 1/18/2022
I only can say that I really like this crossover. I don't know if you will write again this, but as the saying goes, "it was good while it lasted". I really hope one day you will return and continue the story, until that I wish you the best in your life.
Fan-Of-FictionX01 chapter 20 . 1/9/2022
Oh man, here I am again at the end of another one of my customary re-reads of this fic. Must be a dozen or so times now I think.
I can't quite put the feeling into words, but to me this fic feels like a warm blanket or an old plushie that I can't seem to let go of no matter how many years have gone by. I'm a grown-ass man now with a job, responsibilities, the whole shebang, but I still always find myself coming back to it when I'm feeling a bit down, and it never fails to lift my spirits. Comforting yet entertaining, familiar yet exciting. Even with both original shows done and dusted, I still come back.

I never expected to feel this way with a Fairy Tail crossover because to be honest I'm not a huge fan of the original series. While I appreciate its lightheartedness, it had far too many narrative problems for my liking. And being real here, Naruto is very much the same in that regard, but it was the show that first got me into anime in the first place, so I guess it gets a bit of a free pass...

Anyway, NarutoxFairy Tail is in my opinion one of the most "reasonable" (for lack of a better term) crossover categories. With Naruto being the commercial juggernaut that it is, you end up with quite a few crossovers that merge the two shows about as well as oil and water. Like sure, I love Naruto as much as the next guy, but no amount of AU is going to make the Rasengan he just shoved up Light Yagami's ass seem less ridiculous...
With FT on the other hand, you have 2 fairly comparable magic systems, similar characters and arcs, and near enough overarching themes and messages. Hell, you even have well established dimensional travel in both verses, so even the setup is easy.
The thing is though, when you merge 2 shows that wear the shonen badge with such obnoxious pride, authors often end up creating a fic that reaches Super Shonen God Super Shonen levels of cringe (ironic considering how cringe that "super shonen" joke was), that more often than not just ends up devolving into some weird Naruto/self-insert power fantasy. Honestly, out of the 1,600-odd fics in this section, I've only ever really enjoyed a handful.
And among them is this story.

What impressed me most about it, and why I think it has cemented itself as one of my favourites on this website, is how you were able to retain the levity and hope present in both original shows, but simultaneously gave everything an added layer of depth and drama.
You made Naruto more than just a shonen idiot or an edgy self-insert! You gave Wendy depth in her desire to grow strong and forge familial bonds! The members of Fairy Tail were shaping up into well rounded characters rather than a collection of archetypes! The story was mature without straying too far into the edgy! The grammar didn't make me want to gouge out my own eyeballs with an ice-cream scoop!
Honestly, I could go on and on about everything this story did it right. Hell, even when the story went in directions that I didn't care for, I could tell that there was still care and vision behind it all. Suffice to say, that's not something that can be said about many stories, fan-made or otherwise.

But that's what makes it all the more tragic that this fic is dead. Though considering the fact that both Naruto and FT are finished, and that their successors Boruto and 100 Years Quest are... less than stellar... its unsurprising that there is no longer any motivation to write. So rest assured i didn't post this wall of text in the hopes that the story would magically resurrect, but more so because I wanted to say a massive thank you for writing it in the first place. This was 230K words of pure joy and entertainment. Thank you.
...
But hey, if you ever DID come back for one last score, make sure to let me know ;)
Hollow Lives chapter 20 . 10/29/2021
Oh damn this is so good, its like my fourth or fifth time reading this and I still find it engaging and a great read.
Seeing as its been quite some years Im guessing you no longer have the motivation for it, which while disappointing, is common...
Just know that if you ever get the buzz for the story or a story remake you will definitely have me reading it.

Many thanks for your work (like 6 years ago now but still :)

Ruto? You shuld have called that poor sucker Sean Bean. His chatracters are the only ones I've ever seen die that quickly.

But seriously, you are an incredible writer. Within a few paragraphs you managed to introduce a new character, make me empathize with him, and had me mourn his death. I was crying for, like, 15 minutes.

Mr. Hatake... I don't feel so good... *vanish*
Baahubali chapter 20 . 9/7/2021

PriestlyBuckFrain chapter 1 . 8/4/2021
Damn. If this continued with the same flow and accuracy in character all the way to Alvarez arc, I can just imagine Naruto is Complete KCM clapping hands with every single mage in the war to boost them and make a sudden turnover in the tide.

That'd be so fucking epic.
oppopopo chapter 20 . 6/27/2021
