I have some gripes about it though. There's the wish extending complaint that is actually fairly easy to ignore. The main issue is that he hardly manages to change anything and his relationships with others seem skin deep.

He claims to wish to protect those close to him but he doesn't try too. He "let his guard" down against a spy that he was already suspicious about and had led his team into a trap. He didn't seem interested in changing the Rin, obito situation. He left Danzo alone to scheme and kill those close to him and only dealt with him once Danzo ordered him to be attacked directly.

The protagonist is a power hungry cold-hearted hypocrite who doesn't seem to care that much. He and kaguya doesn't seem that different; actually, thats mean to kaguya, she was okay but then went crazy after eating a fruit. In a way her problem was she cared too much, going psychotic overprotective parent mode. Wow, that went on a tangent...

3☆ and I would have gone to 2☆ but the novel have good fights.

Here is what you can expect from the novel. Frequent bad grammar which is tolerable but the worst thing about this novel is the majooor plotholes and just lazy writing that contradicts alot of stuff.

If you really wanna go in blind for this novel then go ahead but if you wanna know how bad the plotholes are then check out the spoilers and they are not too big of a spoiler so it wouldnt hurt to look imo.

Spoiler

So one thing to keep in mind is that our MC have no problem about changing the original timeline since he has done it multiple times even before he was officially a full fledged ninja. Also our MC loves his family and his close friends and that he would protect them so obviously changing the original timeline is the logical thing to do. WRONGGGGG our MC does not prepare jack sh*tttttt and he didn't even bother to at least train rin, obito and kakashi so that they would be stronger or more versatile enough to change their fate. Also there is this one time where our MC accepted a mission that he knew was a trap because he knew DANZO set it up and he should have been extra careful and alert at all times buuut nope he threw all caution into the wind after finishing the mission without any problems which should have been a big red flag and thus two people in his team died and the author used it as an excuse to awaken his mangekyo sharingan.

[collapse]

Tldr looooots and looots of major plotholes and just bad lazy writing overall but hey if you can just gouge your eyes to ignore said plotholes and you are just here for the action then its a decent read.

Whew, what a ride. I decided to stop reading this because the author seems never allows any critics in his head. The story so far is good enough, not good but also not bad. It was just the author was just too whymsical. He made the already super strong MC became weak out of sudden just because he wanted to make a certain event. 'I want a darker plot', he said. And then continue to nerf the MC power because of it. I don't see much prospect from an author like that, that's why I stopped reading this. Don't want to waste my time on stupid novel.

MC is a total fence sitter

He had multiple occasion to save the lives of the people he care about but because of poor planning or bad priority he either completely ignore the death. he could have easily prevented or arrive too late to do anything

He was supposed to have a good friendship it Obito's team yet he just stayed on his in position at war EVEN THOUGH he could already use the Flying Thunder God Technique and go rescue them

Instead he would rather slaughter hundreds of shinobis who won't affect the war's result at all

So far the only big change he did is save Sakumo give Naruto someone to actually take care of him

You could literally skip a 100 chapters and know the plot since the author doesn't change anything from the original plot only add new characters for the sake of his weird Grimoire of Sin plotline

I only read up to 100 chapters right now so I hope it get better in the 200 chapters left....

TL;DR:

Dude is op as hell but won't do sh*t to save people that matter and change the canon in any interesting way

It's a 2 star but I missclicked

Another fanfic where the author doesn't change anything of the original history

The inconsistency of the MC and his values are annoying asf

Spoiler

he says that he is going to protect his loved ones but doesn't do anything when he could

It's supposed that he knows about Danzo's plans but he it's stupid enought that he enters the trap willingly ignorant, even though he already has his suspicious and shishui already had a bad premonition but the author just killed the teammates to upgrade his and shishui sharingans to mangekyu ones.

And no, the MC didn't get more op because the author forcibly nerfed the MC with an annoying seal that drains his chackara, btw that seal was the most stupid thing that the author did

How the f do you touch something that already looks spooky asf, just a dumb way to nerf the mc

the MC it's your annoying careless dude that always makes the bad decisions, the author it's forcing the plot (mc) to follow the original cannon, the only thing that changed was the death of White Fang, everything else it's just a self fulfilling history about a guy who changed nothing but has his resolve of protecting his loved ones but fails miserably everytime, well I think that the ones who died weren't that important to our splendid MC, what makes this an hypocrite MC the ones who the majority of us dislike the most

Anyway this history doesn't deserve this rating

I can see that thanks to the others reviews the history doesn't get better and the author managed to nerf the MC again

So I'm dropping this

[collapse]

If the history gets better ket me know thx

Overall messy story that goes in all directions, some parts of the plot have never been told (the story of Hinata's kidnapping for example and some others, even when they are explicitly mentioned), the author has the disease of those who write Fanfics in that he wants to preserve the main lines of history / canon beyond the raissonable. I think the overwhelming majority of people here have already read dozens of fanfics that are just Canon++ and it's getting boring. The author does a good job of world-building and that's the main thing that keeps me going.

Another problem is that a love story with Tsunade was implied from the start but ended in the most horrible way possible (it was a misunderstanding, basically, I won't say more) to preserve the monogamous couple between the MC and Mei (a relationship that came out of nowhere and was honestly a bad idea) and not offend the anti "harem" psychorigids. The style isn't bad, there's a good diversity of Jutsu and enemies, so there's not really anything redundant about it.

A good read if you like fanfics in the Naruto world, but keep your expectations moderate and you'll probably enjoy the read.

This story is fantastic. The character design is good and the world development is also great (despite this being a fanfiction.)

If their is one thing to complain about it's that the chapters just aren't coming out. Author if your Reading this we love your story and kindly wish for more chapters.

I really enjoy this story. It's a fulfilment story but it's not forced. Everything doesn't just end up working out for the character, he works for everything he gets. (Bellow doesn't spoil much plot, just first chapter.)

Spoiler

He doesn't work for the boons, but everyone needs a little luck.

From what I can see right now, there will be some large additions to the world of Naruto, however they all feel like cannon and I'd be very happy if they were added to Boruto. I don't read that much fan-fiction but I made this account just to say how much I like this story and I hope the author keeps up the great work.
