    It appears Noodlehammer isn't content to keep his grubby, virginal hands to the HP and Naruto fandom, now hes got to defile one of my favorite series universe. Because sticking an already overpowered nigh Mary sue uberwizard in a low magic setting is a great recipe for a compelling story.

    New Summary:
    It only takes a single disharmonious element to throw off the entire composition. Fifty years before Robert Baratheon ascends the Iron Throne, Westeros receives one hell of a bad musician. Harry never did care about any player other than himself.

    Honestly the end of this chapter was pretty badass. Nothing really happened the last couple ones but finally something interesting happened. And it was actually pretty unexpected.

    FLoM was bad, but kinda funny.

    This is fucking terrible.
    I want the time I wasted reading this back.

    1/5.

    How is this horrible, horrible thing (no, I refuse to call it a story) in the Almost Recommended section?

    Someone throw it in the thrash where it belongs. No redeeming features. It's basically the author living his fantasy out through the avenue of Harry. A SI if ever there was one.

    @Zombie: I can't wait to put it in the trash bin.

    Has Zombie gone mad with power?

    Good fanfiction. Shit story. 3/5

    If anything it will sit here until it gets more reviews. Library is determined by thread rating, sentiment, and time/number of posts. I won't let my own personal feels overrule a proper sorting of this. So don't worry, not mad with power.

    I'm real bad with keeping track of time so a couple days could be a couple months.

    And I forgot to mention. He has a massive penis and is a chick magnet despite his repulsive traits. When he makes a new body for himself, Mrs. Zabini, and Luna, he gives himself a bigger dick.

    No, I'm not lying.

    Harry's an amoral sociopath. Luna only cares about sex, sexual innuendos, acting bizarre, and grandbabies.

    Mrs. Zabini is a psychopath.

    My standards rate 3/5. Hate the harem, like the magic, fight scenes, and world-building.

    DLP standards rate 1/5 for shittiness.

    A guilty pleasure, really. Turn off your brain and you might enjoy it.

    Waiting for it to actually be marked as completed before I give my final verdict. My feelings are mixed about it. The things I like about it I really like and the things I dislike about it I'm pretty vehement about skimming.

    The way i see it, there are three main plot lines in this story. Some are good, some aren't as good.

    Harry's interactions with the various gods are pretty interesting. It's nice to see some actual conflict.

    His apathy towards Westeros doesn't make a great story, but is realistic for someone that has lived so long and has his personality. He wants to be challenged and Westeros has nothing challenging for him. Why should he care about people dying? He's seen hundreds, if not thousands of his descendants die. Mrs Zabini does a good job of driving the interactions with Westeros and getting Harry involved (somewhat).

    The harem, new bodies, etc are obviously driven by the author relating to his character. But it should have been obvious he wasn't using canon Harry from the first chapter in the first story. If you don't enjoy a self insert, you should have stopped reading a million words ago (yes, the two fics are over a million words combined now).

    There are no major technical problems. The plot does move pretty slowly and some characters are a bit one dimensional. 3.5/5 rounded up because I like seeing a real morally ambiguous character, not the standard "dark" Harry you find in most fanfiction.

    Sorry, what's ambiguous about it? Isn't he a mass murderer and a tyrant?

    This Harry is morally ambiguous in the same way that Pol Pot is morally ambiguous.

    This seems like an overreaction. Harry is fairly preachy and amoral but he doesn't go around torturing significant parts of Westeros and reducing the population's average age by 20 years or anything. He kills people who try to kill him...that seems pretty much it in this story. He's a mass murderer the same way kings in the middle ages were mass murderers.

    Also, tyrant?

    Harry is pretty much the picturebook definition of a benevolent dictator, massively improving the quality of life for his people, allowing anyone to join his pseudo-utopian society and allowing for the free flow of knowledge amongst kingdoms.

    I was referring to his actions on Earth in the preceding story.

    Well I mean if you're of the opinion that people can't possible change even after literal hundreds of years and watching everyone they love die then I don't know what to tell you.

    The Harry in this story is a lot more detached than the fiery ball of rage he could be in the previous story, and whilst I wouldn't call him a good person, he's not Pol Pot levels of Evil either. Pretty damn amoral, but not the foaming at the mouth genocidal tyrant you seem to have a picture of in your mind from the previous story.
