Evovia hunter,
I appreciate your review, you are mostly correct to say that no one else has really offered criticism of my story, and I do not feel flamed by your review. What I am about to say may come off as ingrateful, but that is not the case, it is merely the truth as I see it.
This is my first ever story that I have written because I want to, and I have never written for an audience before. That being said, I have always been told that my writing organization and transitions are weak and careless, so I did not really expect that to change when I started writing this. I do have a beta reader, and she does an awesome job helping me with my story (plotting, details, how to get from one place to the next, typing errors) trust me when I say, you would be AMAZED by how much she does for me, but at the same time, she does not try and change my writing style, she doesn't say "Oh this transition was kind of weak, you should work on it" and if she did, I wouldn't know what to do with it.
I am not the best writer, the concept of transitions seems to escape me, and for the moment there is nothing to be done for it. Maybe in a few years, as I write more and explore creative writing classes and the like in college, I will become a better writer and I will be able to go back and edit and improve this story, but for now I'm afraid you will have to forgive my transgressions and read it like it is.
As for my first person POV character changes, I like them. I really like being able to give a glimpse of the feelings opposite Kagome's. I try and make the distinction clear when I change the POV, but sometimes I won't be able to. For example in the chapter I am currently writing, there would just be a huge empty space between scenes with out switching the POV, and while some would prefer that, I feel it would be lacking. I am insistent about details, and I want the reader to know what is happening so POV change. This is something I am not willing to negotiate on, I do not plan to change it and it will continue to happen. I can't offer you anything more than an "I'm sorry you feel that way." on this subject.
I hope that despite this you will continue to read my story!
Thank you again for your review!
To other recent reviewers if I have not responded to you directly already. I LOVE hearing from you, and I am glad to see that you all are still reading and enjoying the story. Look for some happy moments in the near future, but don't forget there are still some serious things Kagome will have to face, not everything will be fluffy happy-go-lucky, but then again, I don't know that the story would be any good if that was the case!
Anyway, much love to you all, and I hope to hear from you again on future chapters!
Thanks again!

Definitely an interesting story.. I like the way you do not rush, and describe the situations so vividly.... But, I've got to say, you really do like tormenting poor Kagome (and us readers - seriously, such a cliffhanger!), as if she hasn't been through enough... And I have a feeling that it's not going to get better soon -.-
Well, I await the next chapter eagerly, good job!

Sorry I am too lazy to log in. I read through your reviews and saw that they are pretty much bubble gum and cherries so I guess I shall be the rain on the parade. Normally I do not read first person stories because it is rare that an author can write a corherent story using first person. This is one of those cases. You had me up until like 9 or 10th chapter.The main thing that I want to touch on it that it is bad form to switch your first person character during the story. If you really want to tell the story in multi perspective, it is better to write in third person. The fact that you are switching who your first person character is choatic to the reader and takes away from your chapters because not only do we have to pay attention to what is happening in the story we now also got to figure how who's perspective it is coming from. I would look into rewriting some of the chapters. The story plot is there and the characters are rather interesting. I just think the style of writing needs some work especially on litarary divices and transitions. Prehaps a beta or something to help with it? Just a thought. I am in no way trying to flame you or anything and respect that every author has a unique writing style. That being said I do also think stories should be written to be read fluidly. Feel free to message me with your response to this. I would say update but I would rather you go back and edit in all honesty. This story has great potential. It just needs some touching up.
Cheers,
Evovia hunter
Oh no... is she going to be all right? Maybe give her some shoes? -puppy dog eyes-
It's been two months since you updated, I'm glad your back. Great chapter, please update the next chapter quick and not in months. Keep it coming.
