Eh, the rant was full of fail. Even moreso than the usual 'I got butthurt by DLP!' rants.

About the chapter itself...

/facepalm. We all knew it was gonna be super!Harry.

Yay for Harry/Luna, even if the execution made me cringe. Again.

Lol.

Look, ma! It's the golden patronus!

No. Please, no.

Really? Why don't you turn into a goblin? Seems like you're their King already.

Well, this is at least original. I actually liked it x)

It made me lol. Sounds pretty constipated.

Eh, the chapter was pretty lulzy. I'm not even attempting to read it seriously anymore. I guess a 3/5 from me still =p

 

I swear to fucking god that this guy just suddenly decided to find all of the cliches that DLP hates the most, and suddenly put it in this story to fuck us off along with his rant. At least, thats what it must be. I mean, it was actually pretty good until now. Dunno what the hell he is bitching about.

I'm quite pissed off about this.

Edit: Just finished the chapter. Its wierd. First its good, then it gets bad, then it gets good again, then it gets really bad again. Then it finishes. Some really nice creative ideas in there, such as explaining how Gryffindor's sword works, I've personally never seen that before.

The content is good, but the cliches in this chapter were just horribly appalling.

 

The premise here is great. I have a lot of love for runic magic and it isn't very common in fanfic, so the stories I do find using it I tend to have a soft spot for. However, the execution of it is... lacking. And I don't just mean the errors that a decent beta (good luck with that, Schrodinger!) will be able to clean up.

It's almost as though the author is getting bored between chapters and, instead of working through the block and looking for inspiration in the plot he has, he decides to go off on a tangent with something unrelated. It's still a half decent story so far, but I wonder how long that's going to last.

 

It's not bad. It's just an average story that has a special emphasis on runes, which is novel enough to not be a cliche. It is a story that I like to read, so it's worth 3 stars.

The author's rant, however, wasn't good. It was nonsensical and illogical; also he didn't explain why he didn't like DLP criticism. It's like all the author wants is people to say MOAR! While it's a work I like to read, I won't miss it if it's discontinued. Ergo, it's not MOAR-worthy. 1 star for the rant. My suggestion for Tigerman is that he needs to consult with kafkaexmachina to learn how to do a proper rant.

 

He needs to consult kafkaexmacina to learn how to properly write.

For the love of God Schrodinger, convince Tigerman to let you beta the chapters already posted.

 

Eh, I really don't care about OOC, or inconsistencies and so on. I just love new and different ideas. This managed to have them, as such, I thought it was pretty good until around now.

 

An update, if anyone cares. And

I want waffles.

And apparently, goblins emply sexy human maids now. They also have some very potent, conveniently created for HP's exact need super potions.

And it was about time Molly got told off, even if it was in a blatant bashy manner.

And then,

,

. Apparently, he's planning on showing muggle movies to the wizards. Massive fail.

And the new militaristic OC Mr. Tank was also created just to give HP thumbs-ups to kill people. Lame.

 

This update sucked. The absence of the beta, while not necessarily helpful before, is more than apparent now.

 

You guys were actually following this?

I stopped after about 8 chapters.

What were you thinking?

 

I tried reading this chapter.

Granted, I only skimmed the previous chapters about a week ago. The shitty grammar + lame-ass concept didn't make for easy reading.

That said, I read up until Harry was doing his smelting in Gringotts before I realized I didn't care at all about what was going on here.

2/5

 

I'm finding the reviews for chapter twelve to be particularly amusing, and more interesting than the story itself. Apparently everyone here... can't write in proper English; is an emo; only likes fics where canon characters get murdered in increasingly brutal fashions (although, that is fairly accurate for a portion of the crowd here...); can't write their own stories; is stupid and moronic/idiotic (x2015825 or close to it); is jealous of the authors' skillz (x25012 or close it #2); only love canon- and/or stupid-Harry (wtf? Do these people even actually look and/or lurk here?); exists to complain; wouldn't know if good fanfiction bit us on the arse; blows hot air; have "very SMALL stuff"; and this:

I may not be a fan of all of DLP's characteristics, but boy, that entertained me for a good 45min.

As for the fic itself, it's average-mediocre. The writing is... standard, I guess. What you see in most fics on FF.net. Mistakes litter it, not enough so you can't still read it, but it does distract and isn't a compelling style. The plot... others have said it better than I can. OOC-ness, Harry suddenly being intelligent... Actually, just read Silens Cursor's review on the fic itself. That works.

2/5. Not bad enough for a one, but it still needs a lot of work.

 

.... Are we being attacked the online fanfiction version of Republicans? Know nothing about their opponents agenda, willfully misinterpet it, can't spell to save their lives and have the brain capacity of a squirrel.... Damn.

2/5 because the insults were unoriginal and badly researched.

 

After reading the comments on here about this story I almost don't want to continue reading it. Mistakes like the ones listed don't bother me because I don't bother to remember them. So now that all of them have been refreshed in my mind. Bah!

I can't even bring myself to re-read the whole mess and actually pay attention this time. Chapter 13 did nothing for me, I didn't even remember anything noteworthy from it until someone else posted comments on it.

Would have given it a 4/5 the first time I read it. Now I think it would be more along the lines of 2.5/5. Something tells me it will only get worse.

 

Yeah, thats my fault. I betaed chapter twelve, so it should be better, but I lost the copy of Chappie thirteen that he sent me to fix up, and now that I'm back at college, I have way to much shit to do to beta stories I don't even like.

 

...knowing that the author visits this site, and seeing as his author's note was wondering where you'd disappeared to, I don't know how smart it was to post this.

 

Be lulzy if he mentions it in his next rant, though.:awesome

 

I know he visits this site. Thats why I posted this. He'll probably get pissed as hell, though. And that makes me sad. But I have more work this year than ever.... so yeah, betaing takes a back seat!

Anyways, Tigerman, if you are reading this, I'm sorry that I misjudged my time. I wish you the best luck with this fic. You need it.
