Heya,
This story has a nice depressing thing to it. One of the more
serious in-depth type of fics I've read that wasn't necessarily
dark.
It will have some dark parts in it, but I'm trying to keep the
whole thing a little more serious, but not too dark. I don't want to end
up just writing 'Permanent' again.
Few questions though: I remember the (rather questionable) opening
that this fic had (very, er, SI-like). Does that mean that this
big-brother Ranma boy still have all his memories intact of his past
life? Or maybe not?
Basically yeah. Ranma will use his advanced knowledge later on.
Another thing... Genryu... not much concentration on him? I mean,
the 'new' Ranma will now be the protagonist (as hinted by
indications showing that it was this time _really_ Ranma's fault
that they have so many powerful enemies after them), so Genryu's
gonna be relegated to second shoe? Or maybe not?
Protagonist, antagonist, what's the diff? Ranma is cool, but
Genryu will get more involved as the story goes on. As for just how much
of this is Ranma's fault? Sore wa Hishimitsu!
Lastly... all indications show that this Ranma is rather a parody of
how canon Ranma always deal with the punishments he gets... he's
always the nice but arrogant guy that gets the brunt of the
punishment, whether he likes it or not. This Ranma fights back,
rather ruthlessly, to anything and anyone that screws with him...
ather like that guy from the SI parody The Magical Knights (? not
sure of the title of that one...).
It's the Three Magic Knights. And this Ranma definitely doesn't
take crap from anyone. This was sort of a counter point to all the 'Ranma
has a brother fics' out there. The one's where his new brother [Almost
always a SI character, and almost always adopted by Genma.] swoops in and
solves all of his problems, makes him smarter, and cures his love life. I
thought it would be fun if he had a brother like that and it just made
things worse. Sure Genryu got smarter, but was it really for the best in
this case?
Keep up the good work!
