seasel chapter 1 . 7/7/2019
I was so excited to read the new chapter and it was so satisfying. Don't worry about the wait, it was well worth it! Comparing to the first version of this chapter, I enjoyed the first one, but I can definitely say this new one is more detailed and engaging. I love your writing style, it feels like it adds a certain feeling to the words as I read them especially with the paragraph breaks, italics, and all capitals.

Selene is as intriguing and enchanting as ever. I feel like I totally understand Dr. Roux at least when it comes to headaches and other habits, she's overall very endearing. I'm curious about all the other criminals and if they'll play a role somehow later on?

Hope you had a good July 4th and I can't wait to read the next one!

Whoo! You passed! Told you that you had it!

I enjoyed reading this and you did a great job righting this.
But I was vary disappointed when you had her say "Afraid of the little black bird (CLAWS)" Birds don't have claws, they have talons. Again, I was horribly disappointed when you said claws instead of talons. :(

I absolutely love the amount of work that went into this first chapter! I feel that most prolongs are the bare minimum or a very brief view of the setting and character and leave me grasping at straws but how you characterized Dr. Roux and Selene make me feel so attached to them already! the school is also very interesting and doesnt seem as if it will restrict how the story will go. I'm definitely going to attempt to submit a character before the deadline!

I'm so glad this story isn't dead! I respect your decision to try and better your writing, and you can guarantee I plan on supporting both stories!

I would love it if you'd be willing to keep Mallory in your story, I honestly thought you did a good job portraying him!

Anyway, I looked forward to the revival of the story!
San child of the wolves chapter 4 . 5/15/2019
Well color me intrigued! I’ll be glad to send in characters to either story if needed. Cause I mean who would t want to try right?

Thanks for letting us know what’s going on!
Derekjay2000 chapter 3 . 2/17/2019
It only took a literal month (10 days) to give a review, but I finally remembered to do so

Gotta admit, it is pretty interesting how we'll be switching characters perspectives chapter by chapter. We get to see how everyone sees things differently, but I'm wondering if we'll ever see the same scenes through another person's eyes. I was a little confused on what all the commotion was from the boys group, with Mallory yelling (at seeing Selene, I assume? Btw, Is it ironic that the vampire is dressed as a nun) And then being "forcibly dragged away" by the others, which makes sense since Ekta was also confused and this was being told from her perspective, but I guess it might be elaborated on later? It might just be nothing at all, but I'm curious what all was happening.

Props for what the battle simulation was, I had just assumed it'd be a fighting thing, but I prefer what it actually was tbh. And, I'll say it again, you're doing a good job portraying Mallory. I'm curious about Ekta, seeing how she is embracing the loner-lookout-for-yourself Butterfly Student.

I look forward to the next chapter, I'm putting my money on Adrian winning next! The first match Mallory won, and he was the top name, then it was a tie, so I'm gonna say the bottom name is next! Sorry for the late, and poorly set up review I really hope this updates again soon.

I’m so happy to see an update, and it did not disappoint! I’m digging the action scenes, you’re doing a good job overall with keeping things pretty clear and concise- which I know is a challenge, so you're off to a nice start in my opinion~ c:

I was so excited to see my character as well, and you did an excellent job portraying her so far! I can’t wait to read what happens next, and to see who my OC goes up against. This story is just so great already- keep up the fabulous work! 3
JackHammerMan chapter 3 . 1/8/2019
Well ain't this a nice surpise! How you doing man!

Don't worry about being away for a while it happnes to the best of use and holiday season is crazy so I'm pretty sure most to all of use understand and relate. The first test was definitely something but something in a good way. I liked that you made this test so no one's really able to use their quirks as it's a good to asset other thing about them firts like athletic and/or how smart they are and it was blast reading through

Lastly, I think you nailed Ekta just as I imainged her tbh so kudos to you my good sir
Arkterea chapter 3 . 1/7/2019
When I saw this update I thought to myself “oh boy a late Christmas present!”
The way the students abilities were tested was not what I was expecting, but it was original and fun to read. And I’m really interested to see the actual stats of each student (I wasn’t expecting any 10s this early).
I especially like the idea of switching between characters in each chapter giving us a new school is on a whole other level and reading about the students actual physical and mental struggle/change is going to be a fun thing to see coming up.
I cannot wait to see how you portray Elijah in the fold and it excites me that there’s still a whole bunch of new students we haven’t seen yet.
Love the work, keep it up.
Flaming Fate Zero chapter 2 . 11/20/2018
Kinda of late to the game but dude...your school system is on a whole different tier than what I’ve ever seen before. It’s so professional yet cutthroat at the same time, and you’d explanation for how everything worked was well executed and informative for both the characters and the audience. The point system I also found as rather interesting, and I can’t help but wonder if you may have been inspired by Harry Potter at some point for how it came into fruition.

Your portrayal and presentation of Cedric was right on the money, I couldn’t imagine that you’d nail his internal thoughts and mannerisms to the degree that you did. I’m definitely looking forward to seeing the inner workings of the other characters in the class, as well as whatever hardships and torture Professor Diamant has in store.
P h a n t o m W i s h chapter 2 . 10/30/2018
I actually just read this chapter and I must say, I’m very intrigued with the whole of your story so far- I’m liking your character interactions and perspectives, and your writing is well explained and definitely detailed! I’m interested in seeing where everything goes from here, with their strict professors and all, I can’t wait to see all the trials our OC’s will face in the future. :D

That opening was awesome by the way, a very great beginning to hook readers along for the rest of the ride. Also, I love the way you’ve set up the schooling programs, and the way you explained them all so far as well! cx

Well, as usual, I’m always excited for more of your work- so until next time, then~ ;v
Piece of Sheet chapter 2 . 10/18/2018
Ooo, I hope Im not late to the parade! I was so surprised when you updated, really made my day :D.

First, I love your portrayal of Miles as especially other characters reactions to his injuries. Having their injuries suspended could actually help in his case :D. What an interesting plot point though.

Again, I love the setup, its amazing how much attention you put into details and I love the original take on the otherwise traditional genre. Wonder who the other criminal students are. It was interesting to see Selene through somebody elses eyes.

I see youre continuing your tradition of using names translated into some slavic language :D. Picked it up first in your original one game with the God of Darkness Temno and now with Diamant. Its just very interesting to see as someone who speaks the language :D.

That villain though! I dont shy away from gore but that scene did raise some eyebrows over here. Love to see how realistically youre showing everything, and Witch Queens quirk is amazing.

Again, so glad youre updated, sorry Im late and cant wait to hear from you again. You really have me hooked with this story :)
Cheshire Neko-chama chapter 2 . 10/17/2018
So very happy to see you update! My friend moved to a university recently and weve been barely in contact because she is so busy, its honestly very admirable that youre still able to update o.O.

The beginning was pretty brutal, but Im glad to see we have some pretty interesting villains, Witch Queen is very compelling, and its good youre not shying away from scenes like that. The Butterfly class will have it tough being exposed like that.

I love how quickly and naturally the characters begun interacting with each other, and I also fully support your decision to share the spotlight equally.

To suspend their quirks is a pretty interesting choice. The academy sounds really tough. Really like Mars as their teacher though.

I love how incredible your attention to detail is, like your exam composition and the point system, really shows how much thought went into it.

Again, even though it was beta-ed (partly?) there were still some typos (wouldnt point it out if it didnt get into the way of reading) and some phrases sound off, like, most of the time I know what you want to say but it ends up sounding somewhat weird.

This story is off to a great start and I cant wait to read more from you. Good luck with the uni!

"Oh boy, CA just got its first update! I can't wait to see what fun filled adventures will be in store for all of our beloved characters!"

*Literally starts off with some guy vomiting his tongue out, and some other guy that has his burning guts littering the ground*

"Ah...what a wholesome story I've gotten Mallory into"

I enjoyed the chapter, there are some grammatical errors, and some of the scene transitions could have been done better. Try to set up the scene more? Like when we went from the villains scene to Cedric talking about the classroom, I feel it was a bit too sudden and a bit of prior details could have been written in. I don't claim to be a "good" writer, nor am I good at explaining things, so this is just advice based on my opinion.

I don't have any major opinions or thoughts on any OCs yet. Though I'm gonna assume that Cedric has a quirk related to sound? And Miles quirk...is something painful His and Mal's quirks will get along fine. Also, i'm not remotely surprised Mallory would be the first person to get points deducted. You're doing well portraying him so far, especially with the little gestures he does, like the arm pump and hugging his card. Those are things Mal would definitely do.

I'm a little suspicious of Mars tbh. He disappears for awhile, then a unnamed "traitor" appears, and all of a sudden Mars shows up to teach the Butterfly Program?
