Hello!

I've just finished reading chapter two and I think I'm hooked on you story, it has a really great plot! Apparently you didn't update in a while, those things happen, lol. But I selfishly hope there will be more chapters to come, I think the more I'm reading it, the more I'm liking it. ^^


I'm not getting what kind of person Roland is, yet, but I love that he tries not to act all weak in spite of his looks! (I'm sick of uke, passive, and so on) and I like Kenbish's character, he looks fun, original and not cliché.

Although, I find it a bit odd that, even if he seems obviously upset, Roland isn't revolting that much about the fact that all his acquaintances are dead? It might be because he can't handle everything and don't try to think about it right now, though. As my vocabulary is a bit limitated, I didn't understand exactly the whole political situation, or some details at least, but I might get it better with the next chapter. ^^ But I like it, that there seems to be actually a real plot, with a detailed and rich background! (You don't find that easily on adultfanfiction, through there are some great stories)

So, as I am french, I was thinking I could tell you the exact phrases you needed in chapter two? I hope it's not too irritating of me to do that. (And I'm sorry if my review is not easy to understand, there are those days when you can almost speak fluently a foreign language and those you wonder about each words you should put next in your sentences, how painful ^^")

So:

As for "Mais qui diable êtes-vous?" the sentence is all goob, but the phrase "qui diable" is not really used anymore nowaday. Maybe should you say instead "Mais qui êtes-vous, à la fin?" or "Mais vous êtes qui?" (more "oral")


About: "S’il vous plait… Sauvez-moi…n'allez pas" instead of sauvez-moi, which sounds a bit too much in that case in french, you should maybe have said the equivalent of 'help-me' "Aidez-moi..." and "n'allez pas" doesn't mean 'don't go' in french. Much like "don't go to that place", except 'that place' is missing, and "n'allez pas" doesn't really apply in that case. maybe instead you should try "Ne partez pas" (equal, don't leave) or "Ne me laissez-pas" (don't leave me)

"ou est-ce que ça fait mal?" this is not wrong, grammatically, but in french we'd say more something like "Qu'est-qui vous fait mal?" "où avez-vous mal?" (the second is the most used) Uh, I may be a bit "picky", lol.

“It hurts! Merde! Arrêtez-le ! Il blesse!!” (Shit! Stop it! It hurts!) This is the only other sentence that is gramatically wrong (along with "n'allez pas")I suggest: "Merde, faites cesser ça! Ca fait mal!" (you said something like "shit, stop him, he is hurting me")

“Puiant!” (Fuck!) There I think you meant "Putain!"

That's it!

I'm moving to chapter three! Bye!

I like this. Doesn't seem like I should be getting too hopeful (given how often updates come) but thought I'd say I like it anyway. Has a SF 'voice' that I am drawn to in my non-slash reading list. Gritty, grey. I've always liked well-concieved post-apocalyptic tales.

You have a tendency to use the 'as-you-know-bob' info-dumps, but otherwise your writing is really good - sucks me in to your world. I like the milieu, the character development. Hope you continue. :)
