To Whom It May Concern:
Let me first say that I like what I see. It's been a few days since I posted this story and it has been having some attention. The reason why it maybe so popular could be because Neon Genesis Evangelion is mainstream in some parts of the world. Anyways, that's my view. The reason why I am taking a break from writing my story is to talk about the reviews.
Most of the reviews are that of constructive criticism and that's okay. However things can get haywire when there is a lot of constructive criticism. Some of the reviews also contain questions and contractions that may in fact endanger the characters to be OOC. I'll be happy to explain.
Why don't we start of with the issue of Rei. In some of the reviews, some people are getting the impression that Rei is in fact the 'perfect human' and therefore has no reason to be part of the psychological storyline you see before you. The idea of Gendo having Rei to be committed is absurd, ridiculous and wouldn't happen in a million years. Let me tell you something boys and girls…there is no such thing as a perfect human. All humans either cloned or real, have flaws. Some of them physical while others psychological. In Rei's case, her psychological flaw remains to be seen. Of course in the anime, Rei questions her authenticity by means of seeing more of her or her clones. That could be an issue. Like I said, her psychological flaw remains to be seen.
Second of all, the disorders in the story. I'll be blunt. There are many disorders in the anime. It is shown in the characters actions, movement, etc, etc. A well trained psychologist who would have seen the whole series can probably name a thousand symptoms and match them up to the closest disorder in no time. I, in the other hand, am very young for my age and that kind of knowledge would take intensive researching and figuring out what proper disorder some characters have. Asuka can have Borderline Personality Disorder or Shinji can have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, just to name a few. Unfortunately, I have a life and being busy as it is the facts does not really matter to me. Sorry to a few of you.
My final issue would be the OC, M. M is Byronic hero meaning that he's idealistic however flawed in his own way even though he thinks of himself 'superior' to everyone else. I could have given M god-like powers and let him destroy the whole world or make him a wuss just like Shinji so they would have something in common. The fact of the matter is that OC's can be created easily by the human mind. However giving those boundaries, limitations, realistic…those are the things that must be put into account if you want to have a successful story. Another thing would be his mysterious ways which I will summarize in a short minute.
There is a lot of thing going on with this story. Reasons could be because I'm just anxious to write the next chapter or reasons could be because of people demanding more. However all of these issues revolve into one thing…patience. That's right. That one word says it all. Constructive criticism for this story resolves around the fact that they want to see what happens next. Ergo this criticism is some-what shaping the story to their own best interest. Bottom line is this. This is my story and I'll be damned if anyone else says so!
So anyways, I'm sorry if this thing offended some people and I'm sorry if this thing really hurts some people in the way. I didn't really want to write this thing. I wanted to write the next chapter. However some views must be heard, some questions must be answered. If you have any comments or suggestions about this issue, please click on the review button below or send an e-mail. ABOVE ALL, NO FLAMES.
Remember, "Patience is a virtue". Thank you for your time.
