Hi love your story please continue with your work I want more in the next chapter I want Ed to be paired with Sycla

This is such an awesome story! The battle scenes are so well-written and thought out! You nailed the Eds’ personalities perfectly! I hope you continue this! Looking forward to reading more!

Awesome chapter and great story. One of my favorite childhood shows, Ed Edd n Eddy, crossed over with one of my many favorite anime, Sword Art Online, makes for a truly incredible storyline. That battle against Nicholas The Renegade was very well-done and interesting too. The Eds and Kirito make for an unstoppable team! I hope you continue this soon! Looking forward to the next chapter!

The story has some really, really good points, but it suffers from a problem that a lot of crossovers I've read have: it doesn't change anything. The Eds have been inserted into SAO and everything takes place from, more or less, their perspective, but that's it. None of the major points of the story have been changed, everything in the story happens just like it does in the series, provoking the question of "What's the point of reading this?"

That being said, everything about the characters inserted into SAO is handled perfectly.

Eddy recognizing early on that he dodged a bullet in inflicting this on someone else and seeing Kayaba as an extreme selfish or psychotic version of himself; if not capable of doing something like this himself, then knowing he could manipulate Edd into it. This motivates Eddy into fighting back against Kayaba by literally fighting back instead of having them cower in their rooms like he imagines Kayaba wants them to do. I can easily see this carry on to Eddy taking major issue with orange players and PK later in the story, again seeing selfish version of himself in them, and quietly hating that he understands them so well, yet would also give way to Eddy showing mercy against some of these people, seeing them as simply blind like he was, instead of being constantly hard-edged aggressive.

Edd being afraid at the start and wary throughout is perfectly in his character. He's studious and academic; even excluding his lack of physical capability transferring to himself in the game, he never really played games, never seeing them as worthwhile expenditures of his time, so it makes sense that he'd see himself as a dead weight and detriment. Thus why Eddy and Ed's insistence on Edd staying with them is so effective; they need him as much as he needs them. They are friends, almost brothers, and would never abandon each other. They'll need Edd's brains to keep them from getting in too deep or doing something stupid, and in turn, they can keep all three of them alive. Eddy's motivation may be to show he isn't like Kayaba, but Edd's motivation to fight is far simpler: brotherhood with his two best friends.

As for Ed...well, what can I say about Ed. He's absolutely perfect. The role playing. The overacting of the role playing. Being the great chivalrous hero who leads with his big heart is just perfect. 100% the moral backbone of the group, keeping smiles on their faces and confidence up even when things seem at their worst. 100% Ed.

But sadly, so much more could have been done with them. Having them shock-locked at the very start is fine and in character; Eddy shaken by seeing a version of himself in Kayaba; Edd afraid and out of his depth; Ed having no idea what to do or how he could make things seem better. Yet keeping events the same with the first floor boss raid was a mistake. Diavel could still die, though I wouldn't be surprised by Edd pulling out a healing crystal and saving him as that would fit into his character; overly prepared Edd. Kirito cutting off Eddy and martyring himself as a 'beater' like in the series is the mistake though; yes, Eddy's reaction is spot on in-character, but this changes nothing in terms of the story or interaction between the characters. Kirito gets redeemed in Eddy's eyes after the Christmas event, but those are the only two events where these characters interact, making it a short and pointless conflict. Letting Eddy say his peace would have shamed the players who took issue with the beta-testers, putting their own safety over their fellow players out of fear, not acknowledging that the betas were in just as much danger and could have been taking even greater risks so they could lead the charge in getting everyone out of SAO; it wasn't the betas being selfish, it was them. And now humbled, players would be more accepting and open to the betas, who would hide their identities less and become better able to help, resulting in fewer deaths and more clearers as the story progressed.

The Black Cats could have been handled so much better as well; a big miss in my opinion. Have the Eds be the ones that encounter the Black Cats instead of Kirito, dropping back to a lower level to get supplies to Edd's potion making that helps keep them supplied. From there, the two groups begin to work together, the Black Cats learning to improve their teamwork and get some faster levels under the tutelage of the Eds. Then Sachi goes missing, and Edd is the one who finds her, and it all falls into place. Sachi confesses her fears to Edd, who admits he felt the exact same way at the start, and still does from time to time; something that would shock Sachi as he's always been very confident and capable. Edd tells her about how he knows Ed and Eddy, how they convinced him to fight with them, and how they got to be so good, each picking a fighting style they felt comfortable with or best suited them, then learning to use each other's strengths to cover their weaknesses, until he did believe in himself, namely because they believed in him. With Sachi, Edd would see it as no different; she was just as capable in his eyes; she just had to find her nitch; and she had to believe in herself and recognize that she could because her friends believed in her, so even if she wasn't strong enough, she didn't have to be, cause they could cover for her, because that's what real friends do. Edd even gives his word to do the same. Sachi is comforted and confidence from his words and faith, and slowly starts doing much better in combat, finding a style that works for her between polearms and a sword&shield, and begins to see her friends relying on her, new and old, not as something she could fail at, but something to take strength from, and does. I could easily see Edd and Sachi start developing a romantic relationship because of this, or one or both of them acquiring a unique skill that allows her to use both shields and polearms (which are normally only 2-handed weapons) at the same time. Later in the story, the Black Cats are revealed as a clearer team, equal in respect and skill to the Ed-trio whom they learned from, and regularly see each other when it comes time to take down the boss of another floor, all of them friends; even if Edd and Sachi are a little more than 'just friends'.

Those are the kinds of things to consider when making a crossover story. You can't just add in characters from one thing to another. You have to change how the story progresses, change the events that take place in the story, remove some, add originals. Do something that tries to answer the question of "How would putting these characters in this situation change things?" Otherwise, you run the risk of people asking another question: "What's the point of reading this?"

I hope you found and took this to be constructive; it's not my intent to be otherwise. Like I said, you nailed Ed, Edd, and Eddy's characters, and handled their personalities and interactions beautifully, but nothing about the core events of the story have changed, and that's what you need to work on. Try putting some time into that and I can easily see a rewrite of this story going from from 'good' to pronominal.

Sadly, another great fanfic that's been lost to the ages. An Ed, Edd, n' Eddy crossover one at that, good variants of those stories tend to be very rare.

Wow it's been a while. I'm rereading this and it's still awesome. Also Eddy doesn't seem ooc here. It looks more like character development. Something he might actually act like. He can be selfish but he isn't very selfish. He does care about his friends. Finding out he nearly doomed the other kids for a quarter was a wake up call if anything. This is awesome.

I really like this story I hope you make more chapters of it.

I love this story of I hope you continue it please do

Please make more! Also in the future chapter you should put a scene when the eds are trying to peep at the girls bathing that would be funny

nice can't wait to read more

Very well done the Ed's rock this game.
