Hi it's me Wenduo again! 3
This was a sweet and funny ride! : O
Lol this just makes more sense than everybody be like "oh cool we don't ever question why Dracula's som is around us 600 years later" x )
I was laughing over how much of a dork reaction Soma have over him been a "kinda dad" xD
And how Julius be the grandpa in the gang even without him been the oldest.
Talking about oldest, it's never going to not amuse me how Alucard have 3 different hair colors depending on games, art, show or concept arts. O.o
As for characterizations, I gotta say I think it was fine? I haven't played/watched any other games than SOTN and Lords of Shadow games, besides the Netflix show. But I probably should?
It's saddening that Konami really seems to have lost touch with this franchise, as far as I manage to gather information on the situation?
Also no wonder I haven't seen this one, I don't use this website often anymore. *Yes I have been head deep into reading Castlevania fics because too much time these days*

Aaa this was so good, one of the best castlevania fics out there. I really do love they accidentally theme repeats with Alucard and the characterization was good. I love stories where Soma gets to have a family with Alucard and everyone its sweet...

Love the ending too! I really hope one day Soma will know who Arikado is in canon... tho we might have to wait for the Netflix show to cover Sorrow for that lmao

I missed the reference the first time around but is Hammers Great Uncle the Merchant from resident evil four?

You know how when you learn about something in a certain medium, every time you see that thing you associate it with that medium? When I think Kichijoji, I think of the hero's hometown in Shin Megami Tensei 1. Mysterious murders that probably has a supernatural cause? Watch out for the guy who summons demons with a laptop. I wonder if the rest of the cast knows Alucard is a vampire yet. They know his odd sleeping habits, but he doesn't say why he needs the perfume. I'll find out later.

*Wipes tears from eyes... Again.*. Yup, that got me on this reread, yet again, as always. Move your tics. Please, please, please write more Sorrow arc stories!

I just love Soma wanting to him and Mina to brush Alucard's hair.

Great job! Excellent conclusion!

You should be proud _

Yay, Soma is back! :D

I have a small criticism this time. I noticed that, especially in chapter 23, there were *a lot* of extremely short lines all in a row. It made the writing a tad stifled, imo... Maybe trade some dots for commas to improve the flow.

That said, I LOVED the "they certainly are efficient about recycling" line, and Julius' deadpan "Shaft is a ghost" :D

That was a fun romp. You really capture the characters with such incredible accuracy. Good work on this.

Tell you what, if you remove the comment about wanting to put this up on TVTropes, I'll put this fic there, along with Bonds of Vanity.

Until next time, I wouldn't mind if you felt like using Nocturne of Ruin as a starting point for a PoR era story… you know, see how the four students handle a cult for a change… or something. Or just more Dracula X era stuff. You did well there too. Heck, I'm sure you could even do something with Trevor and Sypha. If you do, don't forget Hector and Julia.

So long, and good luck on your next venture.

Legion as a final battle was very interesting. You really brought the character to life, as much as a creature literally made of thousands of corpses can be alive.

His in-game description has always said 'the one who is many,' but you really brought out the true horror of the implication. Far more so than in the games. The mind control was actually quite frightening, and the abundance of gore was surprisingly appropriate.

One thing I have to mention: you wrote 'exercise,' but the word you wanted was 'exorcise.'

I prooooobably shouldn't have read the previous chapter right after dinner """"

An amazing end to an amazing story. As you probably saw from my reviews, it was a great read from start to finish and always kept me looking forward to when you'd publish the next chapter. I feel you wrote the relationships between the characters very well and the Maruki Crewki were excellent antagonists (if the Legion at the end came slightly out of nowhere, but let's not forget that's basically what happened with Menace). If you're out of ideas for another Castlevania Fanfic then perhaps one with Death as the main character? :D? :)? But don't let me force you into writing him if you already have other ideas.

Holy crap, that was intense! Bravo!

Wow. Just wow. This was such a beautifully poigniant ending. I loved it. The whole fic has been amazing, seriously. Please write more in this continuity! You've really done an amazing job, as with Bonds of Vanity.

loved the whole story. though ill be honest im quite disappointed that Dracula never made an appearance I was hoping he would from the beginning
