Comartemis' review

Recommendation denied on the grounds that the characters are Boring Invincible Villain Protagonists who get their kicks by curbstomping the heroes of less (and sometimes more) morally-ambiguous shows and telling them how much they suck for not being like themselves. I've seen people on this wiki try to handwave this by invoking Conservation Of Ninjutsu and while it does justify their tactics in-story it also completely misses the point that it is boring to watch Chaos walk all over everyone else regardless of how justified it is, and it is infuriating to watch the author's pet Mary Sues essentially gangrape other far more likable characters. This is the kind of story I would write Revenge Fics for if I had the motivation, and I cheered when I heard it went belly-up; here's hoping it never comes back.

I fully agree with you. I read in your profile that you would love seeing the Super Robot Wars crew curb-stomping them. Funny how I thought of the same thing before reading your comment. However, I would have the SRW cast forcing to Shinji and the others to have a Heel Realization. Or I would make a Rewrite. Anyway... Thousand Shinji? Good. This fic? A mess. And it is not even canon -according the author-. Thank God that it died.
