    TBH, I might be a little biased. This fanfiction holds good memory to me and that memory will not be fucked with by rereading it. But from what I could remember it was about the greatest thing when Shezza and Joe were off having teh buttsex. It's superpowered, yes. I don't recall how he became superman
    parasitic demonic mutations? Fuck no. I'm kidding!
    , but I do remember it got badass later on.

    I do know that the plot went some-fucking-nowhere around the end of it, and dear Artful had to cut off his dick. It was a good guilty pleasure fic while it lasted,
    even his take on the Demonic God ascension I've never seen after. At least it didn't get that far...
    But still, him cutting off his dick was a real good plot device. It will make it a more enjoyable experience for everyone therein DLP.

    Also, it's my first recommendation. Hopefully my ass won't be too blistered after this.

    It's also for pure archival purposes. Who the fuck hasn't read this? Admit it.

    Eh? 4/6

    ... I'm fucked. :facepalm

    Honestly, this is considered the pinnacle of Evil-Naruto FF. So stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

    To defend the Superpowered part, it is necessary to take on the entire elemental countries
    but I doubt it's all that nessessary to make him as un-fucking-beatable as Alucard. I was more interested in him killing and murdering everyone since that's all I look forward to nowadays in fanfictions. If you want to know how fucking superpowered he is, look at Godzilla and Japan. Just like those Rice Farmers, these chinky eyed bastards don't stand a fucking chance!

    Point of Clarification

    Apparently in this story he has powers that use darkness to grab people, he is fooling everyone with his exceptional acting skills, and he is also making Zombies by the end of chapter 2 .........

    Excerpt of CH 2:

    /"I DID IT!" He cried "IT WORKS, IT'S ALIVE, MY FIRST ZOMBIE IS ALIVE!" He was the most happy he had ever been, this opened all sorts of doors and he was looking forward to the fruits that the plans he could hatch with those opened doors could bring./

    Needless to say I stopped reading. 1/5

    Sure thing, boss man.

    So I've skimmed through about 5 chapters now, and...bleh. It's so freaking wordy. Each paragraph is basically just a summary of a period of time that the author uses to show case his exemplary skills of "Telling not showing". It's so boring I literally cannot bring my eyes to linger on any given part of it for too long.

    It's ridden with cliches, which I don't normally care about so long as they're well done, but dear lord, they're all there. Abusive Villagers: check (seriously here's a line from the fic Konohagakure, 'The Demon House' (As the locals call it at least)), Negligent Fool Sarutobi: check, Boy Genius Naruto: check. None of it's done well, it's all just there stated very concisely and if we can't accept it, oh well, time to move on because NOW HE'S CREATING ZOMBIES. So I skim on a little farther, go to the next chapter, and apparently Hiruzen has decided to let Naruto go off on a one year training trip in a cave off god knows where.

    1/5. I can barely keep my eyes on it long enough to see the plot.

    I couldn't get very far, and I won't speak on the cliche's, merely the style of writing... too much telling, and, like most amateur fics, the dialogue is just... shitty. The flow of the sentences is completely unnatural - no one talks like that...

    1/5. The one is because I'm a Naruto fan.

    I actually started reading this when it was new, and really enjoyed it then. Then. I've developed some standards since, and now would consider this more of a guilty pleasure fic then anything.

    It's a Naruto/One Piece/Dresden Files crossover, by the way. The zombies and a few main characters are from some one piece movie, Naruto's shadow abilities seem to be taken from that same movie and crossed over with Nicodemus's abilities. A large portion of Naruto's power comes from having read Kemmler's books, and the most recent arc of the story with any plot revolved around trying to keep Naruto from getting his hands on the Word of Kemmler and performing the Darkhallow.

    Naruto is ridiculously overpowered, and the story was written in such a way that he can't possibly lose. I've heard (and it's mentioned in one of the latter Author's Notes) Artful Lounger compared to Perfect Lionheart, and it isn't a bad comparison.

    The story it's self is, like I said, enjoyable in a guilty pleasure sort of way, if you can get past all the shit. Or, it would be, if Naruto wasn't made completely unlikable in one of the later chapters: In an at the time completely random and out of character moment, Naruto decides to rape a captured Hinata before selling her to cloud nin. Why? The in story explanation seemed to be that he did it because Hinata loved him and her suffering amused Naruto. The reason Artful Lounger gave was that to many readers liked Naruto as the villain and enjoyed his character, so he had Naruto do something completely irredeemable in order to make the readers hate him.

    2/5 because it introduced me to the Dresden Files, and while pretty shit, it can be entertaining for a while.

    The <strike>author</strike> <strike>writer</strike> <strike>person who types letters and posts them</strike> word shitter has er, produced the unholy combination of My Immortal and Partially Kissed Hero.

    Since the terrible plot, lack of balance, etc etc etc has been noted, here is my Protip:

    2D character A asked "Why do I have no personality? Why do I talk like the Microsoft word to speech?"

    WRONG.

    2D character A asked, "Why do I have no personality? Why do I talk like the Microsoft word to speech?"

    Comma. COMMA. Every single sentence is missing it!


    1/5

    No, actually, most people on DLP just laughed at the retard and continued on with their day.

    The object of trolling is to make people pointlessly angry, and while you've succeeded in being pointless, no-one gives the slightest shit.

    It takes 3 clicks. How about you?

    Uh... No thnx.

    It seems as if we're destined to fight each other... Truce? I could keep violating your assholes daily for the rest of the summer. I have no life. But there is something you could do for me and we could put aside all this faggotry. Gimme my damn fucking account back plox?

    I assume DLP doesn't bargain with Internet Tough Guy's though.

    Because you see, I did nothing anyone else here wouldn't do. I just did it better.

    Your choice.

    I mean, How did the fucking owner of the site take notice of this?

    You should probably take my offer. Inactive mods and all... :awesome

    Probably.
