While I agree with a lot of the points you make in this AN, I can honestly tell you I will, never, under any circumstances period, write or even enjoy reading SasuSaku. It bothers me on a deeply fundamental level. See, I have this very, very firm belief that when someone LITERALLY REPEATEDLY TRIES TO MURDER YOU AND EVERYONE YOU LOVE (or even talked to like once in your life because you don't get to have nice things.) that it kills absolutely any chance at romance dead in the water. Anyone who thinks otherwise? You uh, you might need a number to a therapist or maybe a few meds because something is vastly wrong with your brain chemistry. Though if you attempted murder by your spouse/significant other IS for some unfathomable reason, I also have a bridge to Nami no Kuni I'm very interested in selling to you...

Don't tell me this story is being abandoned... If it isn't at least let your readers know your still working on it, because it hasn't been updated in ages.

update plss its been like 7 months!

Why haven't you updated?!

This story is so cute!
I want more chapters please

Really loved the story. Thank you for your hard work and time writing it!

-_-! geez Dismal, longest AN ever. Welp read ya whenever the next chappy comes out later :P

I tried to read your thoughts but at some points you were ranting, so i stopped. All i want to know is if you are going to write a new story, or continue this story and if so will you change it?

So I didn't read all of this, only about half and I realized I more or less agreed with your assessment of NS and what makes an NS story good. I hope to see you come back to this story soon, as I enjoy it despite slight criticisms here and there!

This was honestly the best Narusaku I’ve read and would love you to continue as it’s very detailed to be more in depth than most Narusaku Fanfics I’ve read and actually opens things that authors haven’t opened...I would love it to continue and reread this story a good number of times and would want to read it to the end and sequel to it cause it’s just that good...

i understand to a degree what you are trying to get across . it makes sense , and even with the murder attempts sasusaku is something that can work if written a certain way. heck i admit that naruhina is even arguably cute . but you wanna know what I can't stand . it's hinata herself . not for any aspect of her specific , she is standard for the most part . but for the way people latched onto her to a degree that is sickening . Hinata in my mind is worse than a disney princess. Hinata doesn't struggle for anything she doesn't fight for anything , she is just handed all the rewards because of how kind and nice she is . that is mind boogling to me . like you can argue that Naruto with the child of prophecy thing got that too . but at the very least , beyond spitting blood emotonially and physically for his achievements in the first part of the story, he has morals and ideals and struggles he has to reconcile with the world around himeven if the world bends backwards aroind him too but thats a whole other rant) . same goes for the rest of team 7 to a degree , it's again as you also stated why sasusaku can work . sakura could have to compromise with what or who she ends up discovering sasuke being once she truly gets to know him , sasuke could have to consider leaving sakura for her sake instead of his own . you could do any number of things . Hinata loves Naruto and is perfectly compatible with him always no questions asked , that's what a good number of people that love the pairing will say . What struggle ? the world , the characters , reality itself will shift so that Hinata is given what she deserves . You want the truth out of me ? i didn't even like sakura that much as a character but by digging i realized she just had more appealing characteristics in general . Hinata , in some people's view, deserves everything sakura has struggled and fought for with sasukeand would have been naruro maybejust because she had enough gall to love naruto from the start , even if she didn't even have enough strenght to win through her own shyness in any way to help him from the start. Honestly it gave me the Idea to write a non affair boruto Narusaku fic where boruto's Hinata is actually Sakura under tsunade physical henge . So that Hinata has to struggle just by being Boruto's Sakura . I 'm gonna cut this short by saying that My Narusaku fan parts are there mostly as denial to hinata , and your analitical and flawed approach to the character is damn interesting and I am looking forward to you next updates

I took me a while, but I finally found some time to start reading fics again. I thoroughly enjoy this story. It's nice to see how these characters act differently from canon. I believe some of what you show us is an example of probably what should happen given the mess of crushes from canon. Good honest people can act wildly different from their normal personality in these situations. You show this instead of getting the typical response from most fics of just ignoring the fact that Lee and Hinata have crushes on Sakura and Naruto respectively. I even believe most brush over what Kiba's reaction to how Naruto handles Hinata. You however have delved into this and I for one would love to see how this impacts the Konoha Eleven. Will it effect Naruto becoming Hokage or how the civilians look at the Unusual because of Kiba? I don't know, but there's a lot of different directions you can take it and I'm looking forward to it. Good job and keep up the stellar work.

When is this fanfic going to continue?

Gods above, I love this story. I actually am waiting for Sakura to reach the “Yandere” level of devotion because not only is she nearly there, I -love- yandere characters in fiction.

I eagerly await the next chapter with baited breath!

Please continue! Really enjoying reading this story.
