Reviews for Resurgence
Lumiere de Venise chapter 1 . 7/28
I dropped RWBY after season 6 I think and I read this fanfic from since the fanfic was still being updated to when it was finally finished back in 2016-2017, and now that I’m coming back to it a few years later, it’s really sad how this fanfic to this day handled most of, if not every single character and world building material and whatnot from RWBY better than how the series “handled” it after season 3. It’s even sadder when you take in note how many potholes and weak writing slots in season 4 and 5 managed to get even worse in season 6 and of what I’ve seen of season 7 and will no doubt get worse in season 8. It’s sad how it’s become more and more common for writers to just give up or half-ass their endings and sequels and whatnot in modern times (GOT, TLOU2 for example) to the point that fan-works made for free have more effort and success put into them when it comes to holding a story together than the actual creators.

Hello, have not started reading but will once i catch up on my back log of fics . I did read the reviews kinda giving myself spoilers but that does not bother me. what does bother me is that people, from what i can tell, think keeping someone close to your heart after they die means you will never pursue love again.
As i said i have yet to read so won't assume the set up for the new romance but please don't go through life thinking that if you lost someone you loved you are bound to stay alone until death rejoins you. That is a sad life and im sure whoever you had close to you does not want you to stay single and alone for the remainder of your life.

Sorry this is not a real review for the story but those reviews bothered me and i believe is a stupid claim on their part that he moved on and that is a bad thing.

This is so much better than what RWBY actually did after Volume 3, you have no idea

So among all the characters in the story, who are the top 10 most powerful and how big of a gap is between each of them?

WARNING, SPOILERS. LIKE, HECKA SPOILERS: I really enjoyed this story. In a lot of ways, I actually liked the direction it takes better than the way canon seems to be going, and it was a really enjoyable ride. The villains were a little bit too frustrating at times, imo, but overall really fun. After that ending though, I have some mixed feelings. I came into it having read the really bad reviews, but I decided to ignore them because it seemed like it was mostly salty Arkos shippers, and I've always shipped the heck out of Lancaster anyway. But after reading it, I think the ending was still pretty terrible, despite the fact that I don't really care about Pyrrah. It was the twist. That twist SUCKED. It was less a twist and more a brick wall the story slammed face first into. For one, the villains were overly frustrating through the whole thing. You thoroughly made me DESPISE them and just ache for them to get their asses handed to them on a silver platter, get them to lose totally and completely. So when your twist was that the bad guys were right all along, that really, really pissed me off. You wrote an antihero's ending for a villain that was completely, irredeemably evil the whole way through, who you had written to make your readers hate with a passion. It was like if Cruella De Vil saw the error of her waysand instead of stealing other people's puppies, she decided to walk the straight and narrow and make her OWN puppy farm so she could skin them and sell those ones as coats instead. Not to mention that the reason you made her right at all was a thinly veiled rant about fossil fuels and renewable energy with no connection to the rest of the story. At no point was dust or aura EVER something lacking. Heck, at one point you casually handed Sun 300 rounds of dust ammunition and basically said "everyone has infinite ammo now, running out of dust will never be a concern ever" and aura is the most renewable resource in this entire story! Every time someone runs out, they just lie down for a couple minutes and make more of it! You gave our heroes aura (which is dust) in such rediculous abundance that they could just say "fuck this, I'm done losing!" and casually summon a skyscraper sized knight in shining armor made of pure aura to kick the bad guy's ass. The circle of aura that your twist puts forth doesn't match anything at all that came before it. At no point was it ever hinted at that the grimm were anything other than forces of wanton destructionat every turn you reinforce it! You make the statement that it's a cycle, things die, their aura returns to the earth, the Grimm eat it, and then new life? But the cycle isn't complete. The grimm are heavily implied to just live until they get killed, when do they return the aura? And our heroes just pull metric butt tons of aura out of thin air constantly, which they OBVIOUSLY aren't getting from the starving Grimm. That twist was unsatisfying and made no sense besides, and it did massive damage to the story because of it. Salem is evil and wrong, and saying otherwise without building up moral ambiguity beforehand felt like a robbery. You were doing SO well, but then fell flat on your face at the last second. I just spouted a lot of negativity, but I truly did like so much of the story. Almost everything bad I have to say about this comes from the last four chapters alone. And you pulled off 148 of them that were great! So here's the things that I did like: This story completely delivered on the fractured fairytale promise of the real RWBY. I ADORE that Summer is a faunus, especially that she's a WOLF faunus. Because now it's entirely possible that little red riding hood's grandmother might actually be a wolf, it's perfect! XD Cinder's real name is Ella, and Cinder/Ella definitely has an evil stepmother in Salem. Blake's twin swords were awesome and I would soooo read a full fic about buddy cop Ruby and Jaune vs Torchwick. Your version of Weiss's dad is my favorite so far, he respected her and allowed her the chance to prove herself and I love it. The concept of Ruby the Grimmslayer jumping into hell and decimating hoards of Grimm was incredible and badass and I loved every second of listening to the Doom soundtrack while reading it until it got ruined. The look on Cinder's stupid face when RWBY brought their OWN dragon, bigger and better than hers and destroying all her stuff was priceless and had me crying with joy/laughing maniacally. It ended with Lancaster and my heart almost exploded. Coco. Just, your version of Coco dude. Wow. Jaune's semblance is waay cooler than the cannon one, and since it was basically armor lock I loved how you sprinkled little Halo references throughout like "finishing this fight" and "Don't make a girl a promise you know you can't keep". Penny and her sister! And silver eyes as the first semblance! Aura linking was way cool.

In all, there was so, so much that this story did right. Honestly, I wouldn't have been anywhere near as mad

After reading this chapter, I feel the need to make a Doom mod that replaces the Doomslayer with Ruby Rose the Grimmslayer

YOU sir are an ass! I had long come to terms with Pyrrha's death, to the point where I could actually re-watch Volume 3 without crying, and this asspull you did here ruined that for me. I would, and I have, praise this Fanfic as a fucking masterpiece, but that ending is a terminal cancer that killed any enjoyment I may have had reading this, I mean an ending has to be spectacularly bad for it to ruin what came before, especially with something as good as this once was. But you pulled it off, you did the one thing you shouldn't have done and betrayed the very premise you started out with, so what "Pyrrha isn't coming back in cannon so I'll just kill her off in a story that was dedicated to the premise of brining her back to life" HORSE SHIT! Torchwick and Penny sure as hell aren't coming back in canon and yet here they are, alive, UNLIKE PYRRHA!

And lets talk about Penny and Torchwick, you brought them back with absolutely no purpose at all and didn't kill them off in the end. Adding Penny and Torchwick back into the fold only makes the fact that you killed Pyrrha, AGAIN, sting that much worse especially when they served no purpose at all, Oh but "Penny saved Ruby from Cinder", a sky-scraper falling between the two them as a result of the Dragon fighting the Titan could have done the same fucking thing, or maybe just not have had Ruby be in that position at all. Is that moving forward bringing Penny and Torchwick back from the dead? Is keeping them alive while robbing Pyrrha, the very character this fic was supposed to be about coming back to life, of her happy ending moving forward? Did they contribute FUCKING ANYTHING TO THIS STORY THAT MADE THEM SO GODDAMN IMPORTANT! NO?! THEN WHY ARE THEY HERE?!

And the rotten cherry on top of this shit sundae is the bullshit forced Lancaster at the end, none of it felt genuine, none of it felt earned, it was jarring and came right the hell out of no where, especially on Jaune's end since he was all on about keeping Pyrrha's memory in his heart and not replacing her then doing a heel-turn and saying "JK, lets date girl I've shown no romantic interest in whatsoever" (Picture that being said in TFS Goku's voice, your welcome). And you saying that it happened gradually over the course of the story was also a massive croc, Jaune and Ruby never moved past the friend zone in their interactions together. This was so terrible it made me hate Lancaster as a whole, before I was merely apathetic and didn't really give it a second glance, but now I can't see a Lancaster fic without remembering this and instantly feel a burning rage that used to be exclusive to Cinder, ruminate on that for a second, you made me hate a ship as much as I hate CINDER FALL!

What you did to Pyrrha in this fic is beyond unforgivable, you dangled hope in front of her like a carrot to a starving woman and then stomped it into an inedible paste by killing her a second time and handing her man off to another woman. This cop-out ending isn't at all worthy of the writing that came before it, and it needs to be surgically removed like the cancerous growth that it is. GOOD! DAY! SIR!

Welp, looks like I've found someone who likes emotionally breaking their characters even more than I do...
shadow.of.intent.115 chapter 151 . 2/25/2018
honestly mate what can i say?

If 10% of fanfics are good then this epic resides in the top 0.09%.
I think that fanfics if given enough care and love can become their own stories in the same world. A true alternate universe.
you sir have made one of these alternate versions.

Thank you.
