I got through the first chapter by skimming, then saw that Ichigo turns into a Hollow dragon first thing in the second chapter. Why in the world would you reccommend that?
 
...Hollow Dragon...
it would've been bad if it wasn't for his hollowfied forms being Lizard-like or Devil-like, i dont' see anythign inherently wrong with a Dragon, unless it starts being Fanwanking.

So, Ichigo Kurosaki was sent back in time to stop it from ever happening and arrived that same faithful night that Hisana made the biggest mistake of her life. From there things began anew...

I like this story a lot. I always enjoy a well-characterized relationship, and the author handles character interactions pretty well.

Same here. I don't normally read Bleach fics, but this one felt very well done. Now it's only a matter of seeing whether the author can maintain or exceed expectations.

A recommendation imported from Spacebattles:

As N Approaches Infinity is a crossover between Bleach and Madoka, that involves Homura Akemi running into the Kurosaki sisters after leaving her hometown to better cope with her emotions, following a particularly catastrophic iteration of the time-loop, and learning about the afterlife and such. Features include solid writing and very decent handling of the crossover, with the author trying to give all character's their due.

If it ends with Aizen dead as a doornail in their fight instead of a long drawn-out conflict, it will be the best Bleach fic in recent memory.
 
I got to the part with Ichigo unable to control his inner beast with Hisana. It was alright before then but that scene was cringe worthy imo, so much so that I didn't finish reading it. Does it get better?

I want a story where Ichigo wakes up in the past and we-the-audience slowly realize we're set in a world where Aizen completely won, and is now the god of the spirit world.

Not really but the author learned their lesson and no more has the beast with two backs been shown.

well i took the cringe-worthiness of that scene as intentional to show a couple of things, the first being that yes Sex can be Awkward, first time even more and that neither have any kind of experience on it.
OTOH one can argue that Ichigo has a lot of experience in repressing ot 'mantaining control', but most of those revolve around either pain, fatigue or reining in murderous impulses and may be vulnerable to... pleasure. At least In-Universe, the meta options would be to troll other 'lemony authors and lemon seekers' or to 'justify' the subsequent 'sex happened, it was better, no, i'm not describing it' M.O. because 'Sex' in not that important (or at least the description of the act) nor relevant to the story/plot.

Are We Alone » What if gods were real? Many have wondered what would happen if they were proven to exist, what cultures would do at the sight of these all powerful beings that appeared from nowhere. How would those that once worshiped them acts. How would their allies perceive them knowing that they have gods that exists. What changes in fate would occur, if one of these gods appeared on Elysium.

There May Be Some Collateral Damage by metisket
Summary: Ichigo’s been ordered to go undercover at a magic school to bodyguard a kid named Harry Potter, and this would be fine, except that he’s about as good at bodyguarding as he is at magic. And he considers it a good day, magic-wise, if he hasn’t set anything on fire.

From the author's note: 'I wrote this mostly because, despite the surprising number of Bleach/Harry Potter fics out there, none of them seem to address the fact that sending Ichigo to Hogwarts is basically the same as swinging a wrecking ball directly into the side of the castle.'

Some very funny moments in the first chapter alone.

That was solid.  I'd suggest posting a warning for the yaoi pairing though.

I would have, but it's one-sided and only really appears towards the ending. I didn't think it was necessary.
