Review Responses - Sealkeeper 148

I've been meaning to do this for far too long and keep putting it off. I'm jumping straight to chapter 148 because there's no way in hell I could manage to get through the backlog of reviews I have piled up in my inbox. Hopefully this will help me get back on track now that we're just going forward. 

I think I'll be keeping reviews here simply because it's much easier to work with Patreon's text editor than the Wordpress editor I'm using for Eyazahrid.net.

 I hope to be able to include true commentaries talking about the creation of chapters at some point but with me barely being able to keep up with chapters and having missed reviews for so long it's probably not very likely to happen. Chapters already take a lot, if I stopped to write down my thoughts while trying to push through them they would never get done.

"I've been reading since like chapter 20 I think and over that time this has become one of my favorite fanfictions ever possibly my favorite ever. I love the premise of the story and how things have developed, the humor is great and doesn't take away from any of the seriousness either. I kinda wish I could see what would have happened if Naruto held into his hatred because I'm a sucker for dark and angsty Naruto but really like your take on it. I loved the water Sprite and can't wait to see all the great things she'll accomplish in annoying Kabuto. Happy 6th!"

-The ultimite deity

I'm glad to hear you've been enjoying it. I, too, am a sucker for angsty stories which is what a majority of my recent ideas end up becoming in my head. Hopefully I can kick that habit soon so I can actually get some other work done. 

Jundo-Hime was one of those things my darling muse throws at me that I just add without really thinking about how it will affect the rest of the story but I'm very glad I did. 

"I find it really funny how this fic went from "Edgy Naruto Fic" to "Crackiest Naruto Fic that has some serious moments"
it's really funny
and so discreet
I mean
I re-read it recently
it slowly starts getting sillier
but never in a 100% this is just a joke way
it's always something that in the context of the fic makes sense

I love this fic"

-Martin-di-Arcov

I'm very relived to know I've managed to strike some sort of balance with it. I can only keep it serious for so long before it starts to feel dry and with the multitude of eccentric people flocking to Naruto hijinks are inevitable.  

"Some next level stuff, the lad could have whole parties in his seal."

-TheGreatBubbaJ

The Seal and Kage Bunshin interaction sort of developed on its own and has brought with it some amusing consequences. I don't doubt that Karura will be hosting for as many people as she can possibly drag- erm, invite- into the seal whenever possible. Things are sure to get chaotic, especially if the others realize they can communicate with Naruto from within the seal. Poor guy will never have a moment's peace, though for some reason I don't think he'd mind the constant company. 

"Congrats and may we see u here again soon. This fic is awesome"

-saiyan prince1

A little confused by the wording of this review, I do hope my AN didn't seem to suggest I would be gone for long periods of time, I merely meant to bring to everyone's attention that chapters might be a bit delayed as I only have a brief window in which to write them while I recover from the workweek. 

"Love the Kabuto x Water Spirit stuff going on"

-Imheretolive08

I'm unduly partial to it as well, she's proven to be very fun to write and I'm sure I'll probably end up using her more than I should. For trying to wrap up my plans for the fic I sure do seem to introduce new things fairly often. I'll have to work on that. 

"Your writing is so good and you have great ideas, but ***hell bro, for 148 chapters you always include random shii that has no impact whatsoever. Sometimes entire chapters are completely irrelevant, filled with literal office work and random tangents which random characters. Its so aids to read"

-sahhhhhh

I'll be honest, I'm not entirely sure what part of chapter 148 this is referring too. In this chapter Naruto sets things up with his seal, we see what Akatsuki is up to, there's some insight into Orochimaru's experiments to kill a god, Doto learns of his missing train, and Naruto looks into the idea of trying to turn Tsunami into a Kunoichi. I would personally say a majority of that is relevant to the current state of the story. 

Granted, I did have fun with Jundo-Hime and Orochimaru trying to make a body but I really couldn't resist and they seemed to be received well enough.
