you have a real talent for breaking the hearts of people you know?
it was well written, but I would have loved rather than Asuna being the only one to get Kirito's love (as in the canon and all Sao fanfictions), every girl gets a chance to get her too Kirito's love

this was a beautiful-written series, "love isn't enough...for everyone except Asuna", basically what anyone who reads/watches SAO knows

I sincerely hope that writing this series of one-shot has motivated you and you will continue The Legend of the Twin Blade Swordsman or your new story The Blackest Swordsman? (I admit that this title has fueled my curiosity )

I sure enjoyed what you decided on. All these are good. Could you also do 1 of Silica? She's the only girl who is left who's in love with Kirito who deserves a chapter too. Jus a suggestion.

Thank you for doing my Sinon request. It's really good. So sweet and loving. I love it.

Shoot. I forgot I all ready reviewed chapter 2. Oh well. Now it's got another. Like the old saying goes, can't have too much of a good thing.

Awwww. So sweet. An emotional and heartbreaking.

Well, that was it, the end of this continuously heart-breaking thing with...basically what we already know.

Don't get me wrong Gao, this was beautifully written once again, it truly shows you're able to pour your feelings into what you write and you deserve more than praise for that. It's just that, when this is basically what we already know the most, exactly the same that both Canon and the Fandom have repeated countless times, it becomes quite hard to care, at least for me (Remember, I mean no offense with that!).

Will never deny that this was a beautifully-written series of one-shots, but, as I told you before, it still leaves a bad taste on my mouth that the theme was how "love isn't enough...for everyone except Asuna", basically what anyone who reads/watches SAO knows :O

With that said, though, I will look forward to what else you write here, you truly show you have talent here :3 Later!

It would be nice if you add Sachi to this story

I really like this! I thought the poem was great, really encapsulating the notion of strength. I will admit to not reading much poetry, so my opinion is not that important, but I still enjoyed it. I thought it was rather heartwarming to see how Sinon could pull herself together after receiving a little help. That fact struck home with especially, as I had a similar situation. Of course, that heartwarming aspect stood stark against the whole collection's idea of how love sometimes isn't enough, and I thought that made both themes all the more interesting.

The only aspect that I didn't like, was that with her new strength, Sinon's first goal to get the love of another who loved someone else. I would have preferred that she instead began to work on improving her life with other things, like making friends, standing up to her bullies, etc. Of course, that's my own opinion.

I like the Rocky quote that you included, thanks for sharing.

Thanks for posting this for us to read, and I look forward to more. I hope you have a nice day!

Love it! Happy you posted another chapter. Thank you, hope you update again soon!

Poor Sinon. Looking forward to the Asuna chapter.

Damn...another Update of this, another brutal stab to my heart. As someone who has read vol17 especially, this hit me very hard, the descriptions of Sinon's feelings specifically. Godamn did that make my heart wept.

Once again, my feelings aside, I gotta praise you by how beautiful this was. You have truly done a wonderful job destroying my heart with it, pal :)

Sadly, I'm not looking forward to the last Asuna chapter at all, because no matter how well you do it or how much feeling you pour into it, is basically gonna be the same I have already seen countless times in Canon, in every official Alternative Universe, and in over 90% of fics on this site. That aside, though, I shall read it and give you my opinion again as a form of respect for you :3 Later Goa!

PS: I reviewed in your hilarious one-shot, in case you didn't see it (As you never answered that review XP). That one really put a hilarious smile on my face.

This was awesome. I think you are a very talented writer and hope to read an update soon.

Love it. Hope yo u can update soon.

I really liked reading this. It's premise, while kinda sad, was refreshing. Too often on the internet will harems be formed with 2-d cut-outs of characters that join the harem and are forgotten about. Too often are fanfics made without any real sadness or end with everyone happy.

These short stories created a surprising amount of depth for Sugu and Liz in such a short time, and ended on a sad note. Both were poetic in a way, alternating between short conversations and scenes with one line of a longer thought. I liked the first one better as the italicized sentences seemed to more impactful/poetic. I'm sorry I can't expand upon that, I don't know enough about poetry to dissect what made it that way or use terms to describe it more.

Overall I am looking forward to the completion of this series of one-shots. I'll be sure to check your author page every now and then to see if you create another story, as I feel that you could make something pretty cool. I haven't read your other story as it seems abandoned, and I don't read abandoned stories. BUT if you decide to work on it again or make a new story I'll certainly give it a try.

Thank you for posting this for us to read, and I hope you have a nice day.

Woah, okay, what the hell Goa? Why are you coming back with something so well-written but that has to be SO fucking heartbreaking? This is breaking me apart man. Like, the first one was the hardest, but this one also hit home, holy shit. Being one of those few devoted SAO-Harem Fans makes every chapter of this like a dagger to my heart, and knowing more are coming...Gods.

I seriously hope this motivates you enough to make you go back to your other fic and finish it very happily because seriously, my heart is being hammered with this. My feelings aside, it's written with a truly beautiful quality, so be proud of that, pal.
