I'm glad you enjoyed this one :) I tried not to have either side (the shitpasta writers, or the nasty reviewers) come off looking much better than the other, or to get too preachy. I didn;t want anyone really looking like a good guy or bad guy here.

I appreciate all the nice things you said in your review, and the fact that you took the time to read this one (I know my stories are kinda long)! If more reviews or comments come in, I'll be interested to see whether MerMarth or DarkTony get more empathy from readers :3

As far as your criticisms go, I'd be lying if I said I didn't share some of your opinions. This story does test suspension of disbelief, and has some parts that are a lot less subtle than I normally like to write. I was really trying to keep this one from spinning out of control in terms of length. As it is, it's a lot longer than I intended, and I could probably add a couple thousand more words to it if I wanted, but I was trying to keep the pace up and the lengthiness down. (I wanted to get a lot more detailed with Tony tracking down Marth, but I thought that would just be boring)

In any case, thank you again for the read and the review :)
