Listen, the TL/DR of it all is that if you've got an afternoon to kill but your desperate for a Witcher fic, and don't mind bad grammar and a subpar plot that was dragged out to the point of absurdity? Go for it. Myself? Yea, I wasn't a fan of this, but hey your mileage may vary.

And here we have yet another really interesting story killed by bad grammar. If you can stand the bad "engrish" it might be something you'd like. But for me? I don't *care* if it "gets better". Just getting to the third chapter was about as much as I could stand.

Genuinely one of the single worst stories I've ever read. And yet another story on Webnovel that makes me wonder how much money these people pay for these obviously fake high ratings. I slogged it out till chapter 384, so while it may get better? I'll not be seeing it. I know that sounds defeatist, but I just could force myself to read more of this absolute garbage. I won't spoil it for anyone that (by whatever miracle) actually enjoys this story, but for everyone looking for a good Multi-crossover Witcher Fanfic? Avoid this. Because this was a story written by someone who enjoyed The Witcher on Netflix after Henry Cavill left the show. So if you're looking for a good fic? This is not the read for you. For those that don't mind spoilers, read on. Some stories are so bad they come back around to good just by how laughably awful they are. This is *not* one of those times. Right around the HP move, the MC turns into a self-righteous high-horse riding asshole/spinless loser with delusions of competence. While Ciri goes from a minor level of "bearable but not that nice" to uber-cunt and turns almost completely unlikeable to the point of ridiculousness. She's a "Femdom" lesbian queen that's *constantly* after the MC's main romance. And not in a fun way either. It's being done in such a way that in RL you would knock out the asshole doing what she does, and then not talk to them anymore. Like she's pulling some actual friendship-killing bullshit. Am I overreacting? No. Not at all. If someone did to me what she keeps doing to the MC, I'd very likely (without a DAMN good apology) never speak to them again. And depending on their attitude, probably get into a pretty ugly fight with them. As for the MC? He's a cucking little fool who can't stop talking out of his ass. You constantly go back and say "No way did he actually say something *that* cringe" only to find out that not only was he actually as cringe as he sounded, but he also gets worse as time goes on. It's like two separate people wrote this story and swapped places halfway through the first half of it. To the *absolute* detriment of the story. Because this story, it didn't start this way. This started out as an honestly amazing story. The writing quality was fine, the MC was interesting, and the plot was engaging. But after a while, this very quickly turned into yet another trash heap. So yea. Avoid.

It's a *very* interesting story, but be very aware that when the OP says "English is a third language" they mean it. The bad "engrish" makes that pretty obvious. Like it's an already-written story they fed through Grammarly or something. Anyway yea, give it a shot, but keep that in mind.

There's not much to say other than it's a really interesting idea let down by absolutely garbage writing. Now, when you read "garbage writing" you probably thought, "Oh it can't be *that* bad." right? Wrong. It really is that bad. Till this get's a major top-to-bottom rewrite with a qualified editor, it would be best to avoid it.

Why is it so many stories on this site (that's *supposed* to be an English *only* site btw) are so damn full of bad "engrish"? And I agree. Yamcha is normally not the brightest bulb in the house, but this one made a bowling ball look sharp.

Rather than the lengthy rant/novel I had planned to write, I'll post a shot from a conversation I had with a friend that summed up my thoughts on this story. "The whole thing is confusing in the extreme. You have *no clue* what's going on. At all. And it's not till around 8 or so that things even START to look like a story. As for Mass Effect being involved? I mean maybe? You could look, but I wouldn't recommend it. I stopped reading around chapter 10 or so. I just couldn't force my way through more of this acid trip pretending to be a story." Basically, this "story" is an example of 'go home and try again'. The wild part is that this is a rewrite. God, I can't imagine how bad the first one was that *this* was considered an improvement. Yikes. All in all, unless yet *another* rewrite with an actual editor that's worth a damn riding shotgun is in the future for this fic, it's a safe throw into the "AVOID" pile.

In today's episode, an interesting story and plot are overwhelmed by bad grammar. Really bad. As in "I'm fairly sure English isn't a first language for either the writer or the editor" bad. Now I only made it to chapter 4, but that's all I'm willing to slog through.

This story is what it looks like when a great writer "Hey, wouldn't be cool if..." themselves straight into Grimtard. Now granted said Grimtard is only in the last few chapters, but Oh My Damn is it in the last few chapters. Up to the last few chapters though? Easily one of the better Fallout fics I've ever read.

The formatting of this is absolute garbage. This a perfect example of go home and do it again. The story? It might be nice. I couldn't get past the script posing as a first chapter.

What started off as yet another "Hew hew hew, System screws you!" story turned into exactly that. The actual idea of this story was interesting for sure, but the execution left much to be desired. TL/DR: Basically the MC is completely screwed over innumerous times by the "System" that said in chapter one it would have no further interaction after the initial setup. The "System" not only proceeds to interact, but consistently becomes a story breaking problem. And it does so every other chapter. So every time the MC starts to get a handle of how things work, and in general just starts to get ahead, the "System" shows up to either nerf to hell and back, or outright destroy any advancement. Yea. Not worth the read. Yet another example in a long list of stories on this site that does *not* deserve the high rating it has.
