Reviews FanficRecs / Soul of the Seal: The Ninja Adventures

FanficRecs from comments

• Comments: It's well written, plotty, and the author paints pictures with words that can take your breath away. All in all a good read, though it seems that it won't get updated anytime soon.
  • Josher: Even though it's well written there are some jarring points: Through extensive training Naruto is somewhat superpowered, Sasuke has Jerk Ass levels up to Chunin Exam Day, and Deus Angst Machina is employed liberally against Naruto. Added edit: The writer follows The Stations Of The Canon to the point of even including most of the conversations word for word from the first couple chapters of the manga, Kakashi also experiences a minor version of the Deus Angst Machina and is sympathetic, and extremely jarring is when the Hokage allows Kakashi to guilt trip Naruto into forming Team 7, despite all the blatant evidence showing in the story that Sasuke is a sociopath, Sakura is unprepared to be a ninja, and Naruto is leagues ahead of both of them, and that the team is completely incompatible. The Hokage can't do anything else because of the Council.
    • Not my cup of tea. Naruto reaches almost God Mode Sue level and the blatant dislike of Sasuke is painful to read.
