I'm sorry, but I'm very tempted to drop the story now. I've seen this same combination so many times, how Spike's "rival" for Rarity's affection turns out to be an evil douche. Ugh. I hate that plot. Hate it with a burning passion.
It takes so much away from the conflict by turning it into a simple Good versus Evil thing, instead of Spike having to come to grips that maybe somepony else is "good enough" for Rarity. In fact, I feel like I'm being railroaded into having to like Spike by making the other guy a violent jerk. Possibly so Spike has justification to beat him up later up in the story.
Again, I'm sorry if I'm ranting. It's just... I think I can see where this is going and it's not a place I'll enjoy.
8141230 I don't mind hearing your thoughts and I have respect for your opinions, but I'm gonna keep writing this story because I enjoy it and I know what I want this story to be. Again, I appreciate your thoughts and your comments are valuable, but I'm gonna keep going to the end.
I hope that asshole gets a nice beat down.
8140502 You'll see...
So a pony held up a fire breathing, magic resistance, almost indestructible dragon... ?
8140679 It's psychological warfare. Anybody that gets beaten will heal over time, but being attacked mentally is a lot more effective.
8140679 The sad part is, he's not wrong...(that's a good thing in retrospect)
8141082 Indeed.
Hmmm.

Spike is not magic-resistent. Where did that idea even come from? He's just as susceptible to magic as anyone.

Oh no, I never meant to tell you to stop writing. That's the last thing I'd want.
8141642 Hmm. Well, I'm glad that you appreciated reading my story. It was nice chatting with you.
HELLO, my opinion of this chapter. Courtly Aristo has some reason spike is a little pathetic.
Do not think ill I like the cap, but in many fics, spike is always the same a very submissive dragon.
Anyway, the cap was incredible and I want to see how Spike reacted when he learned about Rarity and Courtly Aristo.
I wonder if he would become a bad boy spice because of that trauma.
sorry for my bad english
