Reviews for Reset (2010) |

![]() ![]() ![]() Minato began to panic. He wasn't sure which hallway to take, and if he took the wrong one, there was a very high chance that he would die. He'd never been strong enough to take that thing on head-on with a party, much less by himself, and he definitely did not have a death wish. Don’t need the on, just head-on is fine |
![]() ![]() ![]() Hamuko jumped at the loud voice, and then realized who it was. "Mitsuru-sempai?" Senpai* ( there’s another typo like this in the chapter too |
![]() ![]() ![]() Damn, if only I was this bold |
![]() ![]() ![]() Please continue this series it's so good! |
![]() ![]() ![]() "But in return, you have to date me." I had to pause, stand up, stretch, and then continue reading. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Man.. Minato is Really a Player xD |
![]() ![]() ![]() well... equal rights equal fights i guess |
![]() ![]() ![]() where do i buy a gun? i wanna try this in real life |
![]() ![]() ![]() Good luck for your eventual continuation or rewrite of this. It was an enjoyable read. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Man, I love this. If you're planning to rewrite this, maybe you should focus more on Minato and his interactions with Hamuko and the rest of SEES. Also, I agree with Final Faux and that Minato should be locked to one Persona. So yeah, this was a nice read and I hope you can pick it up again. |
![]() ![]() ![]() This was an incredibly entertaining journey that shall stay in my mind for the rest of my life. I do really wish to read more, but do what you feel like. I am thankful for having been able to read this wonderful tale. Wishing you well! |
![]() ![]() ![]() Uh... hey. So, I discovered this story 3-4 days ago through TvTropes (it's listed among the examples of the Peggy Sue trope), read through it on AO3, saw the author's note, and figured I should comment. I've never played Persona 3 (although I did find the manga recently), however, I've had it quite thoroughly spoiled for me. That being said, I've found this fanfiction very enjoyable and written pretty well (if a little clunky at times). While there have some times where I'm left wondering "what happened with such-and-such?" or "what's going on here?", and then assume that you've got a plan to resolve or explain things in later chapters, I'm not seeing any genuine holes in the plot. I'm liking the characterization of both of the Arisatos, and while Minato's powers/time-travelly-status need a little more explanation, his power level makes sense and is more than acceptable. Overall, the story has a lot of potential. I'd be okay with seeing the story continue as it is, but if you're convinced that your writing quality has improved enough for a rewrite to be necessary, then go for it. I'm not sure what I can say about how much time it is going to take (I have my own difficulties with that sort of thing...), but, just do whatever feels right to you (unless it involves deleting what's already been written, please please please don't do that). I'm excited to see where this story is going to go either way, and even if you don't continue it, it's still a good story. |
![]() ![]() ![]() As someone who grew up reading this fic, I personally think you should rewrite this story. I know that just sounds like a crazed fan demanding more, but it has so much potential. I already enjoyed what I read thus far, though was discouraged as it was an unfinished work. Some bits, the rewrites of the game, dragged admittedly but you can always make a creation your own. Screw what people have to say. If you like it, then embrace that. Of course that's not to say you have to keep with it. Only do it if you want to. That's just my thoughts on the matter is all. Whatever you choose, I wish you the best of luck. |
![]() ![]() ![]() I've always had a healthy dislike for fanfic authors who dig their own plotholes willfully. My main gripes so far are also fairly simple, such as why Minato and Hamuko share the surname "Arisato". Is that strictly necessary? Are they actually related? If "No" is the answer to either of those questions, then it should have been changed; i.e. Chekhov's Gun. You omit needless details whenever possible. But I digress. It's not bad, so far. But... You know what would have made things REALLY interesting? Some proper grounding and foundation work for this parallel universe Minato has found himself in. Most of it is there already, but why don't we provide a reason for Hamuko's existence: what if the "Minato Arisato" of this world never had Death sealed inside of him? What if his parents weren't on the Moonlight Bridge when Aigis fought Death, and thus she had to seal it inside of a different bystander-turned-orphan? What if THAT was Hamuko? Now, let's carry on. Minato arrives in this world, jerking up from his bed. But what if it was not "his" bed, the one in the Iwatodai Dorm; no, what if he was somewhere else? With two strangers who call him their son? Or, if you like, he could still be an orphan. It'd be easier, and it doesn't really matter. Eventually he meets Hamuko, who fits all the thematic characteristics he once had. Hell, you could even give him a new persona (it's sensible, given persona are reflections of one's true self and they evolve in response to the trials we face, such as Minato being forced to accept his fate as the Messiah; i.e. as a Hanged Man), AND it covers up the plothole of them inevitably sharing the same persona, Orpheus. You could even goes as far as to restrict him in the same way as all the other, "ordinary" persona users; being limited to just the one. This would be due to the fact he is no longer bound to the Velvet Room via the contract - Hamuko is. Either way, he would find his way to the plot and would then be moved into the Iwatodai Dorm à la Kirijo-ex-Machina. You could even tie up the "Two Deaths" plothole with the inclusion of the fact that Death was no longer inside Minato when he arrived in this parallel world, thus there is still only the one in Hamuko. But that's all just what "I" had envision. In the end, the story is yours to do with as you wish. |
![]() ![]() ![]() The way Minato punch her freaking shocked me. |
