    Write a better one then, otherwise shut your cunt trap up. Non-authors haven't got shit to say against someone who has actually written something.

    Review system is to search out good stories, not lambaste established authors about stories they wrote when they first started out. Now, kindly go eat a giant bag of diseased dicks.

    As for the story, its like everyone else said it was, a rip off from that one douches story where he was all about the style and the white coat, or something.

    3/5 because someone else saw DLP as a legit site and not an Internet Hate Machine, and accepted good advice.

    That was quite rude. Constructive criticism on a fic is much more appreciate than senseless bashing.

    I liked Daakath quite a bit and it proved that an author with skill can make most any premise work, even if it isn't to a reader's taste.

    You really are stupid. How does Harry+Japanese anime=dumb shitty story add up. Its not the crossovers its writers who write cant write to save their lives and dont think their story through. There are good Harry anime crossovers you just have to look. Thats means you dont pic every single story out there you have to actually look at the plot.


    Otherwise i think the story was average. It just needs to be cleaned up and make some of the plot points more original. Also Harry should act more his age. Like a ten year old wont walk away from shooting someone that would leave deep mental problems. 3/5

    ^ Fixed that for you (I even fixed your grammar and spelling!).

    There are a few crossover gems here and there, but HP/[Anime] crossovers suck such massive, shriveled donkey balls as a rule that it's both easier and accurate to say they all fail.

    As for the story up for review, there's not much more to be said. 2.5/5 for the effort.

    Royalduke's assertion is prejudiced, dismissive, and a sweeping generalization. I'm shocked and appalled he would post such a thing. What a bastard!

    And he is completely right.

    Even Dakaath was a good fic in spite of the Japanese problems. They were faults, but were outweighed by LT2000's matchless writing style and the asskicking in there. Other authors aren't as well-equipped to overcome the intrinsic fail-ness of the anime elements.

    It is true that Harry + Japanese stuff fails, but as someone who hasn't touched anime in his life, I am happily unaware of any anime elements to this story. How exactly is a mafia Japanese? Is it because it's a "good guy mafia"?

    No, it is because the Vongola family is taken from the manga/anime Katekyō Hitman Reborn!

    Like Taure, I've never touched anime, so I am also unaware of the anime elements. I actually really enjoy this story, it isn't the best story out there, and it isn't the most original, yet I found myself really liking it.

    Your very self centered. For you information, I have been following DLP for more than a year now. I just never registered, DLP is quite unique and I love it.

    Couldn't agree more. By the way Darklordcuddles, just admit your an anime fan!

    I will say it i like anime but that wont effect how i view a story. Plus this is Dark Lord POTTER so if i like anime it has nothing to do with this site.

    Just seeing all the grammar errors in the summary of that fic is enough to tell me that I don't want to read it.

    Also, watch who you smack talk around here. Fucking retard. I might agree that Dakaath is not my best work and not really worthy of the following it has, but damned if I'm going to sit back and take any kind of shit from someone who's so clearly lacking in intelligence. As...flawed...as my first attempt at writing a fanfic was, I could (then and now) shit out a better story than what you could come up with on your best day. I would suggest that you go right back to lurking. You ain't got the brains to hang around here, son.

    I agree with LT's post 100 percent. Even if he doesn't think Dakaath was a good story I know I wasn't the only one who enjoyed it.

    Ditto; LT's one of my favorite authors in both Naruto and Harry Potter. Royalduke, no one here gives a fuck about how long you've lurked before signing up. We're all bastards at times, but we don't diss other people's work if we haven't got shit to show ourselves. So either make something better, or shut up. Because DLP has banned people for less. (Maybe. Not really sure.)

    Aw, it's not fair to ask him to do what he clearly can't. And yeah, we definitely have.

    I wasn't saying you were a bad writer or anything, I was just trying to say that the story was not the best that i have read. I mean the writing was great, but the idea was....
