Story padding? Really? You'd think one of the "Big Ranking" stories wouldn't need that....

The word your looking for is (It's). It's is a contraction of "it is" and should be used where a sentence would normally read "it is." An absence of contractions and other such signs of TPE, otherwise known as "Too Perfect English", are usually caused by one of/or two things happening. Either both author and editor are non-native speakers of the language used in the story and don't understand American vernacular, or it's the copy/paste result of a direct machine translation from the language the author originally wrote the story in sans an editor that's a native speaker. Neither are good things when it comes to American readers by the way.

This reads like someone wrote a novel in Chinese then fed it through Google Translate and posted what came out.

Listen, the TL/DR of it all is that if you've got an afternoon to kill but your desperate for a Witcher fic, and don't mind bad grammar and a subpar plot that was dragged out to the point of absurdity? Go for it. Myself? Yea, I wasn't a fan of this, but hey your mileage may vary.

I'm not gonna sugar coat it, It's got some issues. The grammar is a bit wonky, but otherwise doesn't suck. So far.....

And here we have yet another really interesting story killed by bad grammar. If you can stand the bad "engrish" it might be something you'd like. But for me? I don't *care* if it "gets better". Just getting to the third chapter was about as much as I could stand.

Genuinely one of the single worst stories I've ever read. And yet another story on Webnovel that makes me wonder how much money these people pay for these obviously fake high ratings. I slogged it out till chapter 384, so while it may get better? I'll not be seeing it. I know that sounds defeatist, but I just could force myself to read more of this absolute garbage. I won't spoil it for anyone that (by whatever miracle) actually enjoys this story, but for everyone looking for a good Multi-crossover Witcher Fanfic? Avoid this. Because this was a story written by someone who enjoyed The Witcher on Netflix after Henry Cavill left the show. So if you're looking for a good fic? This is not the read for you. For those that don't mind spoilers, read on. Some stories are so bad they come back around to good just by how laughably awful they are. This is *not* one of those times. Right around the HP move, the MC turns into a self-righteous high-horse riding asshole/spinless loser with delusions of competence. While Ciri goes from a minor level of "bearable but not that nice" to uber-cunt and turns almost completely unlikeable to the point of ridiculousness. She's a "Femdom" lesbian queen that's *constantly* after the MC's main romance. And not in a fun way either. It's being done in such a way that in RL you would knock out the asshole doing what she does, and then not talk to them anymore. Like she's pulling some actual friendship-killing bullshit. Am I overreacting? No. Not at all. If someone did to me what she keeps doing to the MC, I'd very likely (without a DAMN good apology) never speak to them again. And depending on their attitude, probably get into a pretty ugly fight with them. As for the MC? He's a cucking little fool who can't stop talking out of his ass. You constantly go back and say "No way did he actually say something *that* cringe" only to find out that not only was he actually as cringe as he sounded, but he also gets worse as time goes on. It's like two separate people wrote this story and swapped places halfway through the first half of it. To the *absolute* detriment of the story. Because this story, it didn't start this way. This started out as an honestly amazing story. The writing quality was fine, the MC was interesting, and the plot was engaging. But after a while, this very quickly turned into yet another trash heap. So yea. Avoid.

It's a *very* interesting story, but be very aware that when the OP says "English is a third language" they mean it. The bad "engrish" makes that pretty obvious. Like it's an already-written story they fed through Grammarly or something. Anyway yea, give it a shot, but keep that in mind.

There's not much to say other than it's a really interesting idea let down by absolutely garbage writing. Now, when you read "garbage writing" you probably thought, "Oh it can't be *that* bad." right? Wrong. It really is that bad. Till this get's a major top-to-bottom rewrite with a qualified editor, it would be best to avoid it.

You need an editor. Badly. This was awful.
