Happy new year! :)

You know, I started reading this as a means to waste some time while waiting for the Jessolt-approved version of "A Third Path to the Future"'s chapter 20. (still waiting for that one *nudge, nudge*)
I'm not that into ranma - the gender-switching of the main character? no go... - and I have yet to actually watch hotd. I still found myself really enjoying this fic. (thank got ranma never went to that training field...)
Guess it is more about the author after all ;)

Thanks a lot!

P.S.: only minor thing I noticed is that some phrases were repeated by different people independantly from each other. I always find that rather suspect - wouldn't different people phrase some things differently? :) some descriptions were repeated as well, but... nothing mayor.

Awesome story. I really loved how you have had the various issues both physical and mental come up and be solved. I can't wait to see what else that you have written.

Since we're only allowed one review per chapter, I had to come over here to ask when we might see the next installment of a third path to the future. I Am really enjoying that story since I have always liked fanfiction that goes into never ending stories, ie comic book universes, and tells a single narrative that makes a lot more sense than the eternal status quo demanded by the comic gods. A story with a similar premise but in the DC universe is called A Spark of Genius but with Xander Harris instead of Harry. I'm eternally hopeful that the author will update one of these days, kinda like I am about you ;)

P.S. I have no idea if I have left a previous review talking about similar things, but if I did, well that's just how much I enjoy ATP and SoG

Great story overall. Sad to see it end, but I agree that this point works fairly well. Thanks again for the story. Keep up the writing!

An excellent story! I quite enjoyed the idea of this story when I first read the summary but was concerned with it's potential execution. Looking back at the story I must say that you've exceeded my expectations! I will most definitely read more of your works in the future!

Blade talons! He can use them in conjunction with his neko claws to increase the damage by a lot, and they fir into his fighting style of moving fast!

It's a good last chapter, but it isn't a closure to a story. Yes, they're now mostly safe from threat and are almost self-sufficient, but it's still not a good ending since there's no sequel in the works. My suggestion? Do an epilogue. Maybe a short chapter a couple years down the line with what changed, how many little tykes are running around and whanot. Heck, it feels like the last part of the chapter was meant to hint at an epilogue.

A good ending. Love the story, and all of my gratitude for sharing your writing genius with us humble readers.

the catlike aspects are an interesting twist. And a convenient way to explain a few things that otherwise need to be chalked up to brain damage.

Something that struck me as head to desk earlier though is your geography. Unless you were referring to a city named Hokkaido Ranma swimming from Hong Kong to Japan, even following the currents, should have landed in either okenawa or the Kyushu district. Honk Kong is on the VERY south end of china and Kyushu, the southernmost part of Japan is a few hundred miles from south korea, so even if he'd hit there first on his swim he still wouldn't have ended up in Hokkaido as his first stop. He wasn't swimming in from Russia after all. Hokkaido is the northernmost island and Home of Sapporo, the asian Las Vegas.

well, I look forward to more "gods, devils, and wild horses", and as for rebooting this story, I'd say maybe have ranma focus more on finding mom then training, so he's more at a survivable level.

Good to see a finish-up here. I wouldn't mind seeing another story in HSotD, but perhaps not with Ranma - you're right about how he tends to overpower things, which means the emphasis shifts from action and the question of who survives to interpersonal drama. Not that there's anything wrong with drama, but I get the feeling that for HSotD the survival question needs more emphasis. (Not that I really know, not having read the manga.)

One piece of drama in this story I had no problem with were the lemons, I thought they were generally plot-advancing (or at least mostly sub-plot-advancing) and a lot of fun. Actually, I wouldn't have minded one of Kasumi joining the "pride," though that just wasn't in the cards - she would have needed to join the main cast much earlier than she did to lay the relationship groundwork for it to be anything but gratuitous.

Still, the story may not have been my favorite of your list, but it was a lot of fun and I'm glad you wrote it.

I liked it.

So are you going to continue the Ranma/Mass Effect story, the Ranma/Highschool DxD story or make the second Ranma/Macross story?

This was an enjoyable read overall. It also inspired me to start watching High School of the Dead again...

Thanks that was an awesome end of an fanfic.

For me I grave for that lemon and would have looked forward to it. :)
