I laughed writing these cuz it felt ridiculous. It's like Secret DLC boss vs Strongest Final Boss ajahfjakdsad
Anyways, thank you for staying and reading till this point. There were MANY who dropped because tanya 'isn't evil' and seemed 'too good' in the first half of the book.
I guess those people were ANIME-ONLY readers and they WERE NEVER my target audience, at all. I CLEARLY STATED in synopsis my tanya is LN BASED tanya NOT anime based. Someone had the audacity to being stupid enough to leave 1 star review even if he was never my intended audience. Like at least read if the story is for you first? LN tanya and anime tanya had different presentation! Like i clearly said the menu i have here is APPLE why are you saying my Apple doesn't taste like orange?
Those anime-only watcher expect a 'evil' tanya who could ditch her own brother and just dont care but that's not the tanya i wrote.
That had always been my intention to show her human side, healed from Naruto's presence VERY SILENTLY, slowly, that naruto's presence was affecting her subtly.
Yes she was a war veteran with trauma but that's also why it made sense she seemed good. She had someone that she could be good to.
I don't write her emotions regarding naruto too directly until after she realise she had loved him recently because it had always been a process... like if we had a scale, from 0-10, her attachment towards him grow over the years.
The bright kid who always jumping around being hyperactive and try to drag her in all sort of annoying trouble since they were babies, since they just a year old, and she stayed with him for years. That was why the story in the first half portrayed her 'good'. It might be more accurate to say i portrayed she had loved her brother silently.
But she never changed other aspects of her, and that was why, ultimately, both of them had to break apart. Because Tanya never changed herself, only learn to love him. It was, an extra part of herself, not her whole. While naruto couldn't accept the other parts of tanya...
And it's a message that i never planned, but when i write them i had always keep in mind about their experiences and things fell into places...
Thank you for staying to read until now. We are already close to closing the shippuden era. As for boruto era, i am still thinking of a reasonable reason to continue it.
I found it funny when i read some comment or review having tanya being good after what she did recently. Like someone can't tell me she's a good person with all that HADSHAHDAH i am not sure if anyone who dropped would regret not reading if they knew what tanya did eventually since they badly wanted her to do evil so much and she DID eventually, to a point Naruto even run away from her.
as for boruto era. I feel like, it would be really interesting to see how tanya would have been if she had a child of her own, coming from her own womb. And what if her daughter or son personality was like naruto? Or... what if she was exactly like her? Or what if she's more morally unhinged than her, like what if her daughter was a complete 100% psychopath. Like i feel like her journey as a mother to her child would be really interesting. But i am afraid to write because i really don't know what to expect. and let say her daughter was more unhinged than her, what if she was the final villain in boruto era... gasp. there's a lot of things that can happen
