KC (Chapter 4) - Sun 29 Mar 2015

This looks like the beginning of an epic story! I can't wait for you to update!!! 


Koree (Chapter 4) - Tue 06 Jan 2015

Oooo I Can Tell This Is Going To Be Good


s_spina (Chapter 4) - Mon 16 Sep 2013

InuLuna of The Moon (Chapter 4) - Fri 23 Aug 2013

Ooh... I hope you get another chapter up! ^-^


SonofZhon (Chapter 4) - Mon 01 Jul 2013

Well there are some good things and some bad things.

The positives:

1)  I am generally well disposed towards science fiction.  The setting offers new ways to explore the characters but keep them mostly in line with their general natures.  The standard trope of seeing inuyasha and kikyou in a clearing and so on is successfully avoided.

2)  The idea of an alien species possessing an interstellar portal and using it as a means of claiming the earth has potential as a plot device. 

3)  I favor the use of the word youkai as opposed to demon because that is more accurate.  Demon is simply too inaccurate for my tastes.

Now for the negatives:

 

1)  Spelling and grammar.  There are multiple instances where the verb tense is incorrect and sentence construction is poor which inhibits clarity.

2)  Kagome's characterization is unfair.  Without intending to sound cruel, Kagome is incredibly stupid in her depiction.  She notes it herself when she asks herself "Why am I so stupid?  Why did I ask him to release him."  Her actions are virtually incomprehensible in light of the fact that a war has been going on for centuries.  Hatred persists and there is no believable explanation for releasing a known threat in the manner described.  Government institutions are risk averse and every department wants to make certain it is not subject to an audit, reprimand or censure by whatever authority is over them.  A prison facility would be especially risk averse and be certain to have proper precautions in place for dangerous prisoners.  Regardless of anything Kagome says, they would not release Sesshoumaru.   

3)  The institutions depicted are not acting in a way that is realistic with government bureaucracy.   I say that as someone who has worked for the US government.  The likeliest scenario would involve Sesshoumaru's prison door being opened and representatives of both governments giving him some information on current affairs and getting him cleaned up.  Although it is somewhat difficult to predict how inter-governmental prisoner agreements would work, based on the setting, he would most likely be given the opportunity to return home or perhaps be pressured and or bribed into taking the mission to the earth's surface.  Depending on his reaction, another series of meeting would be held introducing him to his team and training him for the mission.

Additionally, Kagome would not possess the authority to release a prisoner.  Given her relative youth, no governmental body would grant such authority.  Trying to do so would ignite calls for immediate resignation and encourage political jockeying to seize power from whomever presently sits on this council that approved such a measure.  If hypothetically Kagome were to release Sesshoumaru, whatever passes for the prison system bureacracy would be certain to have washed their hands clean of it and removed all liability by transferring the Sesshoumaru into the hands of Kagome's department, advising them in writing of whatever precautions were deemed necessary, giving them the appropriate equipment, getting signatures acknowledging the warnings and appropriate equipment were received, and departing before any release.    

4)  Exposition as given in the first chapter is very rarely a good idea.  I have difficulty thinking of an instance in which it worked.  Most authors rely on their characters providing exposition (Morpheus and The Architect from The Matrix come to mind) for various reasons but chief among them is to keep things in a narrative flowing smoothly.  In serious dramas, there isn't an omniscient narrator because the audience would be jarred out of the storyline by the sudden imposition of an outside voice explaining things.  Another reason is that it allows an author to help flesh out characters and develop their personality traits and perspectives on events.  Additionally, the exposition should really use the words humans and humanity rather than Man and Mankind.  Also the backstory suffers some believability issues because to carry out such a conspiracy would require a huge number of conspirators and all of them would have to keep their mouths shut.  This is unlikely, humans are not a monolithic block that act uniformily and it is highly probable that such a plan would be exposed by humans unwilling to engage in such a slaughter.   

5)  Confusion about Sesshoumaru's size: Sesshoumaru noted that he was malnourished and half the size that he should be in chapter 3.  In chapter 4 he is noted as being currently 6'7.  If he is half the size he should be then this would indicate his height is about 13'.  For a variety of reasons this is difficult to believe, although losing weight does cause a distinct diminishment in physique it is limited to to mostly muscle mass and fat.  Either Sesshoumaru's bones operate in a bizarre way or he was unusually wide.  If pure bloods are around 13 feet tall then stealing the amara would be difficult as they would all be hunched over in the hallways and be very limited in their ability to manuver.  It would be like a normal sized person trying to move around in a house designed exclusively for midgets.  

6)  I'm not sure the mixture of science fiction and magic is a good idea.  The exposition of the first chapter tries to create a science fiction setting but the inclusion of magic undercuts it.  If the youkai were basically genetically engineered as a work force that eventually rebelled or something like that, it would make more sense in a science fiction setting.  Magic however, doesn't really fit in to such a setting.  Some authors are able to make it work but magic in such stories tends to be highly structured and follow a defined formula.  Inclusion of magic is difficult because it raises the questions of what limits there are to it and why problems can't be magicked away so to speak.
