Reviews for Harry Potter and the Swarm |
---|
Shalk Zailackar chapter 19 . 1/4/2017 Nice story! I find the premise of growing a zerg society in the wizarding world to be interesting. Good job. |
Lumster chapter 4 . 12/23/2016 Just rereading this fic after a couple years and I have to say it's funny looking back at this chapter. The big uproar of Hooch saying she won't stand cheating and all that yet she's the Ref in most the games in which Slytherin or Draco blatantly cheats the entire time without much more than a penalty being called against them. Yet mere accusations are enough to potentially punish Harry to that degree. It's always one of the reasons I have trouble really liking her character in a lot of fan fictions. He's either biased, blind or incompetent. Yet Hooch is usually portrayed as some big quiditch buff and expert. |
Vilkath chapter 18 . 12/23/2016 Just read this story again after a few years and I'm sad to see it's pretty much dead after almost 4 years since an update. That said I'm not entirely surprised given the problem that even the author mentioned. Name that the story is a bit confused at what it exactly wanted to do, be a Harry gets a brain fic or a Harry gets a new cool power. The focus constantly switched back and forth, with a little drama about relationships and friends thrown in between resulting in very little getting accomplished the 19 or so chapters. One of the things I grew the most annoyed by as the story went on was the constant jabs about Harry zoning out to control the swarm, it just seemed to be a problem that dragged on and on and was mentioned at least a handful of times in every single chapter. The other issue I suppose is the tone of the story is a bit inconsistent. Chapter one starts with Harry being desperate to improve to fight Voldy, desperate enough to use a long lost familiar summoning spell and get the zerg drone. But then he basically ignores the zerg most of the time to mess around with his normal teenage school life with only fitting in and management of the swarm into a few seconds of free time here or there. Even ignoring the swarm he pretty much stopped taking his schooling or such seriously as well and nothing he was doing in Hogwarts seemed to really better prepare him for a fight. It's like the story started out as a desperate Harry does forbidden magic to get an edge, but then next chapter turns into a mostly ignorant and lazy Harry from canon that just waits for things to happen. Still in the end it was a good run and one most original and complete StarCraft cross overs I've read. These kinds of stories pretty much always end up abandoned sadly. |
Guest chapter 19 . 12/11/2016 don't read shit fic |
Guest chapter 4 . 12/11/2016 shit fic |
Gojin1990 chapter 7 . 11/16/2016 are you still working on this? i would love to read it to completion because there arn't many large starcraft crossover stories with good plot. |
WhiteElfElder chapter 19 . 10/18/2016 I think if Harry had a carapace that could be attached and detached, or could be secreted through his pores and the reabsorbed it would be great for minor curses and such. Harry does need his upgrade and integration...it would improve his mental processing. |
WhiteElfElder chapter 16 . 10/18/2016 Harry should have Kreacher infected by the Swarm, and Mundungus used for testing. |
Gendie01 chapter 1 . 9/19/2016 Hey Beyogi! Are you the same Beyogi as the one on SB? |
Simianpower chapter 5 . 9/5/2016 Well... the idea is interesting. And I'd like to see where it goes. But the problem I have is twofold. First, it hasn't really gone ANYWHERE in five chapters. That's a lot. Chapters 1-2 were new stuff... that then simply stalled for canon rehashes. Which brings up the second problem: characterization of all the major players is just off. Everyone's yelling and screeching and outraged and shouting every other sentence, even when they're trying to be stealthy or learn something new. I get that this is fanfic, and by definition sort of AU, but I just don't like ANY of your characters. Adults, kids, it doesn't matter, they are all wrong. Even Harry. So despite the idea being interesting, I'm going to stop here. I'd be more specific if I thought it would help, but it's clear that this fic is abandoned anyway so there's no real point. |
reptoholic chapter 19 . 7/20/2016 Enjoyed the story so far |
reptoholic chapter 18 . 7/20/2016 awesome. |
reptoholic chapter 17 . 7/20/2016 enjoyed it. |
reptoholic chapter 16 . 7/20/2016 I hope he kills some people soon..he is to goody two shoes at it is. |
reptoholic chapter 15 . 7/20/2016 I hope he starts taking other creatures from teh forest to start making more. While this is good, he does not seem to care for the swarm, only sees it as a tool, i would add more from teh bond and show how protective he is of them. |
