Reviews for The Sacrifice of Love
Angelalex242 chapter 22 . 5/14/2014
...Shenanigans. Why do I now get the idea the wish to die a human death won't come true for either of them, and 'forever' will now be Keiichi in god mode with Belldandy in demon mode.

Hah hah. Good old Lind. Sometimes I think her love is some sort of variation of the military's code of 'no one left behind.' And nobody else is military enough to realize she's just stating core military values in her own way.

Ya know...'Forever' is a little problematic now. Mortals usually phrase it as 'till death do us part' for a reason.

Then again, 'forever' also lets Tyr pull shenanigans later when they do get old and start dying...

'Your vows said forever. Far be it from ME to let you break them...' ;)

Hah hah. Totally blowing Tyr off. He takes it all so seriously, and Keiichi, full of the unbridled confidence of love, plays Tyr like an amateur.
Angelalex242 chapter 19 . 5/13/2014
The Almighty's going to give a thorough test as normal, I suppose.

Lind is awesome here. And ya know, Cool Mint is still a reflection of Lind's feelings, however stoic she may be. The others are right to tease her.

Her wish may be to die as a mortal, though one wonders if the Almighty's going to honor it completely. Seems like he might have some fast ones to pull on the couple.

Hmmm.

What's to happen to Belldandy on her death, I wonder? Is she now under mortal rules? In a similar fic being written, she's due to go back to being a goddess on her mortal death.

That does set a precedent for other goddesses. Particularly in light of the fact Belldandy and Keiichi could've and would've passed the judgment gate to live as goddess and human if they'd challenged it. But hey, now all the goddesses in heaven know if they fall for a mortal, they can just shunt their goddess status and live as a human thereafter.

...There might be a bit of an epidemic up there, goddesses choosing to be human because they now know they can.

Looking good, but chapter 10 needs a major fix. Probably due to writing on your phone chapter 10 consisted of dozens of two line paragraphs, and kinda hurt to read. Still, chapter 11 was fun to read!
Angelalex242 chapter 16 . 5/11/2014
I think she should be selfish here.

Better to have loved and lost then never to have loved at all applies here.
Angelalex242 chapter 14 . 5/11/2014
Errrgh. The Belldandy becomes fully human path. Usually, they take the Keiichi becomes a god path, because Belldandy, as Norn of the Present, is necessary to the function of Yggdrasil. Her death would theoretically give Heaven AND Hell a terrible horrible no good very bad day.

Looks like the system force is down. Time for our lovely couple to get down tonight...a few times, preferably. And since she's temporarily 3 dimension, it's possible for her to get pregnant too. That'll stick one in the Almighty's eyes. ;)
Angelalex242 chapter 12 . 5/10/2014
Good grief. Keiichi is totally accidentally suicidal. I think he's gonna die at this rate (again) before they figure out how to get around the desire blocker. Or they'll only have a couple days left, or...

Wait, no, you put this as 'romance/drama', not 'romance/tragedy' so it'll get fixed somehow, but...geez.
Angelalex242 chapter 11 . 5/9/2014
Angeltax, huh? Well, Holy Bell is certainly taxing Keiichi, even if she doesn't mean to.

If you're wondering, the magical castration of Keiichi will last till Chapter 278, at which point it will be removed. It won't be commented on, however, till Chapter 285. Kind of a bitch, that it wasn't, in fact, Keiichi's fault all those times he tried to confess or make a move on Belldandy...those failures were NOT his fault. And Belldandy KNEW it wasn't his fault, it was the System Force operating normally. Eventually, she gets sick of the system force herself and 278 happens.

However...here's the trick. The minute the magical castration is removed, well, remember that anime movie with Celestin? The judgment gate is in the manga too, and the unsealing of Keiichi's desire forces the test on Keiichi and Belldandy immediately. Within the hour, tops. Upon passing...well, things progress quickly.
Angelalex242 chapter 10 . 5/9/2014
I see! So the seal of Yggdrasil is STILL on the pair of them, only it's now Belldandy who's sealed, and not Keiichi. Still, it's evident the seal of desire is in force in your world.

Kudos for catching up on your reading by the way.
Angelalex242 chapter 7 . 5/8/2014
So you've made HolyBell his 'life force' then, and he's supporting her. If Belldandy calls her back, then there is no more life force.

On the manga:It went all the way to chapter 308. I really do recommend finishing the rest of it, even if it's only in English to 305 at the moment. The pictures of the last 3 chapters do make some indicative points.
Angelalex242 chapter 6 . 5/7/2014
Well, it's clear the desire blocker's gone. That's good.

But you'll have to upshift to M to show them finally getting over themselves.
