It was an foregone conclusion that many didn't know much about Everfree. It's especially obvious that most didn't know anything about its Deeper Depths. Whether it be the Flora, Fauna or its inhabitants.
6561373 Hmm, I could see that, but than that would make all the crossovers of Naruto born in another world on FF the same kind of flack.
I can understand this, but than it makes it hard to make it unique. Like say if I wanted to have him reincarnated, then it runs into the same problem, save for his memories, but then I couldn't play with his character growing.
Plus I can honestly say that I dislike OC stories, even though that dislike hasn't exactly been as volatile as it use to be, I honestly can't say I'd feel okay with myself if I did the very thing I hated. It's a hard standard to keep, so I should probably try and make it more crossover-y. Trying to make sure people accept that its a crossover would be hard enough with trying to make it unique.
Another thing is that I swear people kind of only think its Naruto usually based on his moveset.
I don't know maybe I'm just overthinking it, but it would be hard to make it original if I have to constantly have him get reincarnated in every one of my stories, or find some contrivance to bring him here which would involve finding ninety different ways to run it so it would't be boring to the readers thinking, "Oh he got here of the same premise again, woohoo /sarcasm"
6561561 Writing crossovers is never easy because you are essentially combining two or more stories into one with a cohesive storyline.
This is a good story...just not a crossover.
I have read a good deal of the Naruto crossovers on this site, and they all maintained at least a small connection to Naruto's original universe.
Maybe they gave him the speech pattern of saying "believe it!" All the time...may be they gave him uncontrollable ninja powers...heck maybe Kurama came along for the ride...basically something more than just a name connected the story to the Naruto universe.
I also agree on the OC thing...I have a hard time giving stories with too many OC's a chance.
Unfortunately you have written a story with an OC in it...an OC who shares the name Naruto with the ninja we know and love. I am not trying to be mean, and I am not trying to upset you. I am just letting you know why this story likely has garnered some hate with very few likes.
Seriously sit down and look at the character objectively...maybe even have a friend do it with you...just sit down and compare/contrast your Naruto with the actual one from the manga/anime...because as it stands right now the only thing these characters seem to share is a name.
As far as trying to get Naruto to that dimension...there are many ways for that to happen...messed up a summoning jutsu...forbidden scroll...testing properties of the dimensional trick that his instructor does...may be Madara accidentally sent him there when the Kyubi was released...the possibilities are endless...
Truthfully it matters less how he got there, and more what he does while he is there.
You have a well crafted story here make no mistake.
It just throws people off when they come to read a story about Naruto in Equestria and instead they get a story about an OC that just happens to share the same name as Naruto.
6562181 Hmm, I understand what you're getting at, and I will be more careful of making that connection with my other stories. I guess going through this and making the connection correct would be the right thing to do.
