After following this fic for 7 chapters. I have some observations to make
about your story. The good parts, your prose is well-written and your
characters are well tfleshed out.
The bad: I hope you have a well thought out history of this alternate world.
It would keep you from accidentally contradicting yourself. Also, I'm sure
I'm not the only one who is interested in hearing how this world diverged
from ours.
Next, nothing's happening. So far all we have is Ranma hoping around
alternatives and picking up skills and personallities. Start having him put
those skills to use soon or us readers might start losing interest. I
haven't read "Paths" yet, but I heard the inventor in the story used what he
learned to try to change his his world. While I'm not suggesting anything as
drastic for this fic. Ranma should begin to use what he's learn to at least
change his life in some positive way.
