Reactions and Reviews
God, I love this fic. Your OC's are very well written, as are the existing characters. I love the relationship between Rictus and Cal, and I love seeing Joe's human side, it's very well written and presented as believable, reading with glasses and being sweet, yet still full of raw power. I would love to see Joe supporting Cal and Ricuts getting together as Gigabomb wrote, but that's just me being giddy. I love the Bullet Farmer's portrayal, and you have helped me get a clear image what the Bullet Farm is like. -ImmortanJoeFan
Holy mole'! I just binge-read the entire fuk-ushima oh-so-chrome story -- and what a high-caliber work this is! I love the well-conceived OCs, in the setting entirely faithful to the source; and the character development of the secondary, but very intriguing canonic figures such as Kalashnikov. And I really love your story-telling technique, flashing forward and back in time; and yet we, the readers, always know exactly where we are in the narrative. -FreyaRides
Confession time. I check this website every single day to see if you've written a new chapter. It's part of my web-browsing routine, so naturally, I was REALLY excited when I checked this morning and Chapter 9 was already up! I have to give you major props for updating as regularly as you do. I know it can't be easy, but somehow you manage and I am eternally grateful. Anyway, onto the review. Poor Pa! I felt Cal's nausea as you described the Bullet Farmer's injuries, especially the part about a long strip of scalp being peeled off. Yikes! This line (the sight chambered another round of nausea in the barrel of Cal’s throat) made me think: WOW! You depict even the simplest of things (like feeling grossed out for example) in a very creative way. A lesser writer probably wouldn't bother using such expressive words, which is a shame since they add so much to a story. -Fan of The Bullet Farmer's Daughter
