I have looked to list of stories it wasn't there so I am putting it for review.

Story is good I liked crossover handled well but it gives vibes of multiple pairings but it isn't main point of it so I ignored that parts. Overall very enjoyable.

 

It's a guilty pleasure fic considering the hero of the story is an immortal Gary Stu

 

It's a Kenchi fic - it pretty much describes itself. Interesting concept, good update rate, but definitely a guilty pleasure.

Belongs in the recycle bin, I think.

 

I'm frequently astonished at the fact that he has like 6 or 7 WIPs and all of them are updated regularly. I don't see how he can keep that kind of pace. It's also slightly off-putting that half of his stories include harems. In regards to this particular story, I'd definitely agree with calling it a guilty pleasure.

 

Once a guilty pleasure author, always a guilty pleasure author. Kenchi's works all seem to follow the same vein: What if series X was crossed with series Y and the main character is a God Walking Amongst Mere Mortals? Let's see what happens!

I definitely like this one more than his Naruto/OnePiece story, since I like Bleach more and the pacing is better. And Hidan is pretty funny all around.

But this really does feel like an alternate version of Shinobi of the High Seas; here's your enemy, now build up a crew, train them, then go forth and rape.

/meh. 3/5

 

The writing is mediocre, especially in the opening chapter, and obviously the story all revolves around Super!Naruto. But honestly, it's not bad; the writing is tolerable, the characters are handled well in most cases, and it has a good pace.

I'm pretty sure that my lack of familiarity with Bleach and its canon events makes this feel more original to me, and I enjoy Super!Naruto in most cases; I rate it as 3.5/5

 

It's mostly new material even if you know Bleach - if anything, his stories don't really rehash canon.

 

I don't know, I actually don't like this story that much. Perhaps it's because it's too similar to his other stories, and the character feels the exact same. Perhaps if I've never read any of his other stories before, I would rank it a 3-3.5/5. However, I can only give it a 2/5 now.

The whole little bee queen bee makes me gag too. Especially when Soi Fon blushes to it -,-.


I think the biggest problem to the story is that the protagonist doesn't change, and probably never will.

 

There really isn't much to say about this story that hasn't already been said. The beginning for me felt relatively new, but I agree with Palindrome that a lack of familiarity with Bleach might have contributed to that.

Normally that like of familiarity would be a problem when trying to get into the story, but he does a fairly good job making it accessible. And with EsperJones saying it isn't really a canon rehash then I think it was a job well done.

The main draw for this story, and I think for all his stories, is the sheer amount that is written for them. He has been averaging at about ~1500 words per day for this story, which is quite respectable seeing as he has 6 other regularly updated stories.

It's pretty well written and the writer seems to keep churning out material so you don't lose interest; I would give it a 3.5/5
