Hello there,
You know, just thought I'd say: the one thing that always made me bristle was after Lin heals Mai with blood magic and the group all out shuns him. But I don't think they had their priorities straight. What was Lin supposed to do? Let Mai die? Her blood, his blood, blood at all, it didn't matter; what mattered was that their team member was going to die if they didn't do something fast. Which would they rather have: a taboo broken or a dead Mai? And I bristle because that's never specifically pointed out (or else I skipped over it when I read).
Just a thought.

I must say. I have been reading your story on and off for a few days and I absolutely adore this story. The ideas you come up with and the way you present them are sooooo unique. Many a story on Ghost Hunt are typical (although I still love them) but your ideas are just so intriguing.
I reallly like the fact your still updating. I really do hope this story goes on forever. Also, I never thought id like a Ghost Hunt story that didn't have MaixNaru pairing but you do this so well! The aspect of Mai and Lin close friends also is something I'm fond of in this story.
Well, anyway, I just wanted to tell you what a great job your doing. Your efforts are noticed and muuuchly appreciated. Your amazing.

I liked the ending and the preview of the next story. Overall I think you did a really good job with this. I'll admit that when Lin was worrying about money I suddenly remembered reading that he was from a very wealthy family and basically worked at SPR because of his interest in the supernatural. I'm almost sad that wasn't worked into your story because I think you could have made it a very interesting aspect of his relationship with Mai. On the other hand, the way you have written it works very well too. I am looking forward to the trip to England. The only titles I could think of is "Changing lives" or "Some things don't change". I apparently have a one track mind! Thank you for the excellent story.

Hello there,
I must say, I love your story. Lin is my favorite Ghost Hunt character, and I love to see someone go down into his character like this. I love seeing him really involved with the team. In most other stories, it seems like he is either just there, or is involved, but is immune to everything the ghosts and demons and whatnot have, like some unsatisfying and half-hearted deus ex machina. I've seen him portrayed basically as the problem solver that Naru can call upon at the last minute to wrap up the climax. I love seeing him as an actual part of the problem, not just Mai's love interest, forced to take some of the emotional and physical wounds that the others do. I don't know if this is just some weird sadistic streak inside me... but characters do seem quite flat if nothing happens to them, especially my favorite ones. What I'd love to see is this whole mess wrapped up, and justice given to Lin. And in the places that you think he may be a little OOC, I think you portray him in a very believable manner. In canon, we don't see much of his true self. Some other fan writers portray him in a way that just doesn't seem... him. I think you've done a very good job of this.
Now, for a few pointers. I've noticed that you could make use of proofreading your work and perhaps a beta. I see you have multiple missing punctuation marks, such as commas and semicolons. You mix up your homophones (you're and your) every now and then. I've also noticed you have extra words here and there that confuse me in places. They may be just typos, but either way, it's a proofreading problem. So for a story such as this, I would highly suggest a beta to proofread for you. This story is magnificent. Grammatical and punctuation errors should not be a constant hindrance to its greatness.
As for the continuation question, I think you can do whatever pleases you. But I really do want to see Lin get some... compensation (not sure if that's the right word- you understand, right? some kind of happy ending or something) for all he's suffered. I think he deserves it said to him, not just words exchanged behind his back.
Anyway, whatever you choose, this is a great fic.

It feels incomplete, like there is still something left to tell. If you had ended it with the reunion before Madoka spoke to Lin about BPR i think it would feel more finished.
Having said that, I do like this chapter. Naru's reaction and actions were well done and I liked Ayako's part in the chapter. (I think she was the one threatening everyone with the bricks in the purse and not Naru though!)
Thanks for the story.

Th-th-that's what you're going to leave us with? Really?! But I still have so many questions! Is Mai fully recovered from the miscarriage? Will she and Lin stay together? Will Naru ever get over his tea addiction? (ok ok, I know the answer to the last one.)
I don't think that this needs a whole sequal story. Sometimes it's best to end things, or else you will be working on them forever (I know this from experience). What would be nice is an epilogue of sorts, so we can see how it all turns out. I would like that. But at the same time, knowing Mai I already know what the answer is going to be. I can use my imagination and know how everything will work out in the end. So maybe I don't want an epilogue. Yeah, I'm going to go with that. No epilogue.
Sometimes it's nice to branch out and work on something new. New relationships, new focus of characters, new genre. I'm sad to see this end, but I'm excited to see what comes next. I've been following this story for so long, it'll be weird to not have it anymore.
So long review short: I think this story should be finished. Best to end it on a high note and not over work the piece. Instead expand out into something different. If you're really taking our opinions into account, that's what I think.
Loved the story, love you writing, love all the twists and turns you give us. This is a shining example of what a drama should look like. I await future pieces from you. Peace out (for now),
