Seito's Review:
Oh man, this was so... great. Conspirator has done a great job concerning
the character development of Himura Kenshin from when he first arrived to Kyoto,
until after Tomoe was killed. Another good thing is how she shows Kenshin dealing
with his job as an assassin, the people around him. It's a wonderful look at
Kenshin during the Bakumatsu.
However, while "Descent into Madness" is one of my favorite Rurouni Kenshin
fics, there were some things that I didn't like about it.
One of them was that somehow, I really don't see a Japanese man in the late
1800s using the term "flipping out". As well, there was this thing with
Kenshin and sake. He mentions in the series somewhere (manga, anime) that
sake tastes like blood to him. Which makes me wonder why he still drinks it
in the fic. Finally, occasionally, the writing didn't seem to flow well.
Moving past that however, I really enjoyed reading this and it's definitely
a Rurouni Kenshin fanfiction that I'd recommend to anybody.
