The worst part is how many reviews/favorites/follows it's got in 12 days.

 

" I just misuse them."

yeah he really does .

 

Just shows, that all you need to do for a lot of favorites and reviews is mark it Harry/Daphne. It's been like this for a while now. Add some "Dumbles" and Weasley bashing and you've got a bunch of "this is amazing, cant wait till harry gets his inheritance and show dumbles where he belongs" reviews and a lot of favorites/follows.

 

It is more awful than you think, if ch1 didn't scared you enough to drop it.
The first half of ch 2 will do it.
what is with people and the need to have the goblins capable doing of everything.
21 drops of blood and you get a list of: everything you good of (and if it is blocked), all the potions in your system, what ever curses you suffer from, your lineage, various illness and health problems.
Topping it all, with the Goblins ready to solve all your problems just because you are their good friend, first wizard to treat them fair or second if your mother did first.

 

What do you want? For writers to actually have to think out some reasonable methods for the protagonist to achieve their goals? That's too much effort! And it would delay curbstomping of all those characters that writer hates. Not to mention - it actually requires some creativity.

 

To be honest its not like I even hate curbstomp fics if I'm in the right mood/bored, it's just at least 80% of that story is word for word the same as thousands of other stories. Surely it would be more interesting for the author to image a new power for Harry to insta-win with.

 

Creative people will usually think out something more interesting than Harry pwning everybody without any problems. Uncreative people won't be able to think about a new idea for pwning.

Suffice to say, I am not exactly enthusiastic about finding out if the fic is any good

The Chosen - Vote for a Title in Poll (See Profile) by Alpha-SonOfArtemis reviews

(WARNING: SOME PARTS ARE DIRECTLY FROM CANON MORE INFO ON CHAPTER ITSELF) !Slytherin!Harry! !Smart!Harry! !Powerful!Harry! !Dark/Grey!Harry! !Dumbles & Weasel bashing!

I almost feel like this shouldn't count because it just isn't a summary, it's a list of tags with author notes, how does anyone decide to start reading it? Also "Vote for a Title in Poll" wow.

 

This is the age of TV Tropes, people don't read for an interesting story, they read to see certain ideas repeated ad nauseum.

 

Can't help but be reminded of Hiroki Azuma's "Otaku: Japan's Database Animal"

 

I always feel really weird when reading stuff that's clearly written by some teenager. I get constant, "what the fuck are you doing with your life", nagging in my head.

 

Lucky how I actually had these saved XD

Ajax?? A centaur Snape? Nope. NOPE.

I could have sworn James was an only child. Also "will INVOLVED an arranged marriage." WILL INVOLVED.

And, my favorite:

I like how the author has to put the first line in all caps. Really howls out the importance of it.

 

The author of the second story really should stop blaming Will for everything. Will is a good guy.

 

Panther by Ccuriouser

[During the summer of HP's fifth year. ]What would happen when Professor Snape was cursed into a panther and Hermione accidentally formed a Familiar Bond with him? A story about trust, love, and support. HG/SS. HEA. Mostly cannon, but I twisted them wherever I like ;P. Rate M for later chapters. Hermione is of age. Disclaimer: Everything belongs to JK. Rowling, I am just playing.

Well, that's an interesting premise.
