This new story by Racke seems to have passed by unnoticed

A Child Genius
I read this yesterday. I ... well, to be honest, I don't have any strong feelings about it at all. The writing is more than minimally decent; at times it's funny and snappy and never unreasonable. The base premise annoys me, but that's all it does, or did -- annoys. The feeling passed quickly and was not strong to begin with because it's been so long since I cared deeply about this fandom. I can't even really care about the crossover because the insertion is not mishandled in any way, really..

I don't know if I'd read it a second time, but it entertained me for the time it took to read.
That's how I feel towards Racke's writing in general. At times I wish to strangle him for getting characters so wrong, yet usually there's some aspect that he just gets that fandom at large doesn't. In that fic it would be Ranma's relationship with Genma that's handled superbly.

He's like cheap Chinese version of Ozzallos, writing fics that would be lot more intriguing without their personal fetish shoved on your face 24/7.
More like his righting isn't up to the same level as Ozz tends to reach but his polarizing bits are more annoying than a completely ragequite inducing deal breaker.

The fic where Ranma was paired up with Homura and Tsukiumi I still enjoyed despite my dislike of Ranma/male pairings.

The Mightiest Disciple One-Half » The Saotome Family has moved to a new home, and Ranma has to enter a new school: Koryuu High. While there, he makes acquaintances with guy who looks more normal than he acts and a girl who could give all of his 'fiancees' a run for their money in more ways than one. The meeting leads Ranma to the strongest dojo, and maybe just what he was looking for, Ryozanpaku

Ranma & Kenichi the Mightiest Disciple, T, English, chapters: 5, words: 15k+, favs: 132, follows: 163, updated: Sep 19 published: Jun 16

Pretty sure I checked that one out and was not impressed at all. I think it had Ranma having trouble opening Ryozanpaku's front gate with this being a post-manga Ranma, which is just hysterically wrong and bad. So bad that the author should be ashamed.

Compared to "History's Most Chaotic Disciple"... No, I take it back, there's no comparison at all. TMD1/2 is just pointlessly throwing Ranma into chapter 1 of yet another manga, where he stumbles along not accomplishing any divergence at all (because that would force the author to think), just adding some Ranma flavoring. With exactly same scenes we saw in bazillion such works. Waste of time.

Been reading this recently. A MGQ xover

An Artist Among Monsters

Ranma had been certain he'd never find a group of women more forward, aggressive, and crazy than his fiancees in Nerima. Of course, that was before Ryoga got him stranded in a world full of monster girls.
After Ryoga gets so lost that he ends up dragging Ranma into another world, Ranma ends up in the Monster Girl Quest. The first 5 chapters follow roughly the same story beats as MGQ up to the end of the first continent, but after that, the author is willing to move fast and break things, so while they've still got all the threats from Ilias and Promestein and co. to deal with, events and story progression go a lot different. The fic is nowhere near finished, but currently just after the point where Ranma and Alice and co. has saved the village of elves, and Ranma has formed a contract with Gnome.

As you can expect from a MGQ, there's lots of sex. The FFN version, which I linked, is censored with all the actual scenes cut out. For obvious reasons, I won't link to the uncensored version in this thread. As for plot development around sex, Ranma obviously has his (or her) hang-ups every chapter, but never obnoxiously so. Which is a bravo to the artist, because it could have been dragged on so much it becomes practically torturous.

Not sure how good this really is, but I liked it well enough to read it from chapter 1 all the way to its current endpoint -- which is chapter 32 after almost 180,000 words. Had never heard of this story before I started reading it.

Ranma gets caught up in the adventure of a lifetime, surrounded by girls, fighting for the fate of the world, and occasionally gets splashed with water. Sounds like a regular day for Ranma? Except there's no such thing as a regular day for Ranma, because he's starting out in Midgar. Ranma 1/2 X FF7
Rated: Fiction M - English - Adventure/Drama - Ranma, Cloud S., Aerith G., Elmyra G. - Chapters: 32 - Words: 178,731 - Reviews: 407 - Favs: 672 - Follows: 761 - Updated: Dec 26, 2020 - Published: Oct 19, 2019 - id: 13413337

Hasn't been updated in a while but it went from zero to current in a bit over fourteen months and the author updated their profile in April so there is some hope.

If anyone else likes it, fine, if no one else does, no big deal.

I've been tempted to read that... but always held off... the problem is I know little of FF VII except I like some of the music videos.

So... does one need to know about FF VII to understand anything that is going on, or are we given what we need in the story?

The story explains things fairly well but if you know a little about the characters and maybe just the game's basic plot, it won't go amiss. Here's a website about the game that I like.

This got a new chapter in May after more than a year. I didn't put it in the updates thread because fuck you, I just didn't.
