Greatest SI fics of all time

[l3fty]

Sleeping with the Girls was good?

The guy who wrote that couldn't even keep to the rules he set for himself.

1) Magic nullifies.
Protag still gets his mind read somehow. Plus for some reason Washu gave him a suit that only seems to negate this. Sure there's the strength boost but that also seems to be more of a pain in the ass than a beneficial function.

2) The tropes of the series are as solid as the laws of physics.
This only seems to apply when there isn't drama. Seriously if this were true than Happosai wouldn't have tried to kill the guy, The whole depacle during his second trip to the Sailor Moon universe wouldn't have happened, and the cop in Those Who Hunt Elves would not have used a spell that makes the Cruciatus look like a playful pinch. I'm sure there's more but I can't quite remember much anymore.

On 1) Washu might be just trolling him hard by correctly guessing what he thinks about, which isn't hard when you lead them into that thought process and the subject can't stop and think straight due to the whole situation.

And the whole thing seems to be slowly, slowly making his body more susceptible to said things, suit mostly makes him more capable of fighting back and surviving longer, because once his opponents start using his squishiness against him, he is good as dead.


Loved the whole descent into violent physical rage due to self depreciation and self hatred, though the whole body eating itself due to lack of food and the whole system in toxic shock due to nanos doesn't help, which at the same time keep him from complete shutdown, until they can't keep him concious and he slips into comatose state which should happen on his next jump if I remember it right.

Yeah that.

I fucking hated that.

Different strokes for different folks, I suppose. I always thought it made perfect sense considering his situation (ie, not getting any sleep over a period of two weeks while simultaneously getting shitkicked all the while).

The Suit may make him a bit stronger but in the end it's hardly worth it. The level of strength it takes him to actually make any kind of difference pretty much destroys him. The suit halfway negates his magic immunity, really was there any reason to even give it realistic feeling anywhere but maybe the hands?

This One is usually pretty forgiving about plot holes but these are kinda annoying, so it agrees with squirrelly on this one.

Yes, actually. You do a lot of feeling in places besides your hands. For example, f he woke up after being unconscious, it could be important to feel the texture of a surface with his back or other parts of his body.

No not really. If it was than he would not wear cloths over it. Besides the material is skin tight it'd be like wearing a glove over most of the body... or this one doesn't know... cloths?

The suit is stated to transmit sensation as if it were his skin in chapter 2 of volume 2. You can't feel things through your clothes?

Dunno how good mine is. I know I'm trying my best, but I'm unsure if that makes it good, savvy?

EDIT: Thanks for the almost-read, Vale. I find it interesting that some of my quirks seem to piss you off on an instinctual level, but hey, it's your opinion. Thanks for playing.

 

[MangoPDK]

Let me reiterate that Himura's rhetorical question was "Was there any reason for the suit to give tactile feedback anywhere but the hands?" My response has been "Yes, here is one hypothetical example."

I don't know all the ways having a sense of feeling in other places aside from my hands is important, but I know that it's important.

Nothing personal, i just think it's important when i read a story to give a completely honest opinion to the author. Even if it is an instant gut reaction that just makes you walk away from the story. You can't please everyone after all.

as far as the suit goes i chose to view it as a side effect. Anything that increasee strength like that is going to have to work with the body and the most effective way to do that is to hook it into the nevous system somehow so that the suit enhancement responds directly to the users movements. If Washu makes the thing work like that then using fau nerves might cause feedback into the nervous system.

Nothing personal either, didn't realize much of that edit could be seen as snarky until I read it again.

It's just, most of your complaints are explained or dealt with and you'dve seen that had you done more than skim over it like I believe you did. Be honest in your opinions, please, but don't base the whole of it on the vaguest impression of the work. If you still don't like it after giving the 1st chapter a fair say, then you gave it it's shot. No problem then.

 

[The Vale]

I didn't think it was snarky at all. to make sure you understand the following actually has 0 emotional investment on my part. just my view.

I see your point and if you have dealt with those issues (well, my issues to be fair) that's great. But i'm not going to willingly read through something i instantly dislike in the hopes of it maybe becoming something i will enjoy later. So my opinion may be wrong. I'm cool with that. I'm wrong all the time. But i'm not changing my behaviour.

I'll judge what i read regardless of how much it is and if i reach a critical mass before chapter one or even paragraph one is over? If the author wants to improve they need to know. If they don't care then they ignore it. I don't have to give a fair go. I read to enjoy. DLDR really applies. That said i do try to be fair in my reviews, and i only bother to write them when the author actually seems to have made some genuine effort. Sometimes i forget that while i write with 0 emotion people can read "Flaming Rage!"(or other). Which is sorta what i guessed you could have thought, hence the "nothing personal".

On a side note - or on the origional topic, sorta - did anyone read all the way through Trial By Tenderness? i seem to remember getting up to the point where the universe reset and then sorta drifting away.
