Naruto: Manipulation

Reveal Spoiler

man the fanfic section of this site has become trash pin, it's really hard to pic good fic admist countless garbage

since there isn't enough review to promote this book—which I believe is a translation—I'm gonna do one. it's to be taken into account I've currently read up to chapter 14 (the latest as i'm writing this). Writing quality (5) : it's good. nothing extravagant, it's smooth, no errors. much better than most translations you're gonna find, I think. simple yet good for a simple read; something I prefer. there's no info dump and neither cringe dialogue. the narration is pretty funny, though sometimes exaggerated. i'd say, those who want a completely serious story will not always be satisfied, but i'd recommend trying it out since it's not that overwhelming with the MC being the main perpetrator behind the funny narration. Stability of updates (5): many chapters already and it started not too long ago if I remember correctly—14 chapters in 6 days to be exact. Story development (5): up to now, the initial idea is pretty original. however, the direction it's headed seems pretty simple—or mysterious as it hasn't been completely revealed since the author has merely left clues— but, hey, as long as it's enjoyable, i'm all for it. a simple idea doesn't make it a bad idea. Character design (5): what I enjoy the most about this story is the interactions between the characters. their persona is really well represented (maybe a bit too caricatured sometimes, though). the MC has a system it seems, but its influence is almost null up to now (and i'm a system hater). he's also really smart from what I've read, though Zetsu seems a bit too dumb when it comes to MC (it's funny though). however, I could accept his slightly reduced IQ when it concerns the MC due to the circumstances of their meeting—also, it makes the story more enjoyable in this case. World background (5): while the story, being in its beginning, is pretty limited in content, from what I've read, the author was able to integrate the history of the Naruto world and its present dynamic very well. ***sorry, if this isn't a translation (i just saw there wasn't any disclaimer about it being a translation). i might've mistaken it for one since Michael, the webnovel author, usually does translations. though, if it is a translation, putting a disclaimer would be preferable. everything else I've said previously remains true, however.

This is really an unusually good book, I guess that's what you expect from a good Chinese book, the main character's words despite knowing are lies, really are impactful, the buildup done in this book makes it a fun read for me, especially how MC lies, people aren't dumbed down to show MC is smart, at least tha'ts what I think after reading till ch 25

Incomplete chapters. not continuation between previous and next chapters. not recommended for reading.

Not bad for start, black zetsu emotional tsk tsk author you have great imagination. The thing is the moment the mc come back with his real corps, who can stop him ? After all, rinnegan + eternal Sharingan , its an op configuration

it's a really good story so far, it's a great read

Im highly disappointed since this was so good to watch in the early chapters 2 or 3months ago. that even I couldn't help but want to read it everytime.Now? It's a mess some deleted chapters some with skipped chapters and the worst part is that it's now heavily Translated by Ai I have read upto 192 chapters so even i can know how frustrating it is right now

I like this a lot, and I would’ve forgotten to give a review if the translator did not like my previous comment this is pretty good. I love how manipulative the MC is the only real problem is that it’s taking way too long to actually get the story on board but also at the same time I’m enjoying how long the story takes. Overall, the translation excellent. I don’t really see any problems.

Interesting story, but basically completely unreadable at the moment. The last few updates have been missing chapters and leaves the story a jumbled mess. Seriously need to sort this out

TS is so PEAK!!!! one of the best Naruto fics I've read

Good stuff. If you want that meme of aizen's "everything was a part of my plan" in action, this novel's it

A great read. Finally another completed work in my library. Finished in 22/04/2025 (just making my mark🙂‍↔️)

This is awesome. The final was so good. I’m really sad now that it ended. The beginning was kind of slow and ehh but it really started to pick up in the middle of the story I recommend that you read it. There are some chapters that are missing but even though they’re missing I still suggest you read it it’s a very good story
