It's a Bleach crossover, the only one I think, so those against anime might not be interested. The author gives a brief summary of the place Harry is in so you might not need to watch/read Bleach, but since I've watched it, I may have shrugged off some key details as ones everyone should know.

Though the spelling and grammar is rather nice, he did the Genius!Harry with the photographic memory, but seeing as a HPBleach crossover itself is unique, there's not much else he can cliche on until he moves the location back to the Harry Potter world.

Overall, I liked it, and it seems he started writing it again (no updates in like 4 months). There's been 2 chapters in like two days.

I liked this fic too, though I didn't like the cliche' "long hair tied back with a <insert material here> hair tie". I agreed with everyone else that the Pairing should have been Harry/Soi and I actually do hope that the writer changes his mind again. The fic has a lot of potential to be "actiony" but the way that most Harry/Susan fics tend to be really fluffy has me worried.

21k words is still fairly substantial, but no way does this belong in the library.

Beach is a pathetic series, so points docked immediately.

Then the crossover aspect leaves much to be desired:

Far away in a distant castle, an old wizard sat in his office, sucking on his lemon drops. In his mind, he was slowly planning for the future, including his plans for a certain Boy-Who-Lived. The instruments on his desk monitoring Harry James Potter made no indication of anything strange happening to the young boy, resulting in the old man believing that his future pawn was still at number 4 Privet Drive. It would not be until a few days later, when Arabella Figg informed him that Harry Potter had vanished, that he would discover the disappearance of one Harry James Potter…
In a realm separate from that of Earth, there exists a location where souls come together. Some call it the afterlife, some call it heaven, and some even refer to it as “the next great adventure.” However, to those souls who have passed on, it is more commonly referred to as “Soul Society.”

Similar to the Earth, Soul Society has its own laws, institutions, and government. However, the laws that exist in this realm are created in order to protect the souls and spirits of those who have passed away. Soul Society consists of two distinct parts: Rukongai, where the majority of the spirits dwell and Seireitei, the Court of Pure Souls, where the Shinigami are found.

Rukongai is split into four quadrants: the north, east, south and west. Various districts numbered one to eighty are located within these four areas. Souls which live in Rukongai do not live a life of luxury. Were it to be compared to the Earth, it could easily be compared to the life of a peasant in the Middle Ages. However, the souls that live there live a happy and peaceful life. Though they remain conscious of the fact that there exists a world where humans dwell, most decide to move on with their lives.

The center of Soul Society is known as the Seireitei, home to the Shinigami (Death Gods). Separated by the four gates and a powerful barrier, those from Rukongai can not enter Seireitei without permission from within. However, the inhabitants of this place carry out special tasks, which other souls do not: to regulate and balance the souls of the world, to guide good spirits, known as “Pluses”, to Soul Society, and to defeat the evil spirits, known as “Hollows.”

Hollows can come into existence in a number of ways. If a soul were to die and continue to walk the ground in which they died, the hole in their heart will continue to grow and turn them into a hollow. In addition, being eaten by another hollow will transform the poor soul into a being of evil. Once a soul has become a hollow, they first seek out the souls of their loved ones before moving on to souls with a higher level of spirit concentration. These are the beings in which Shinigami fight to protect the lives of the innocent.

The Shinigami are split into thirteen divisions, all together known as the “Gotei 13.” Each division of the Gotei 13 has its own Captain and Vice-Captain, who are the strongest two individuals found within the division. Shinigami can be identified by their black robes with white trimming and a cloth belt. Captains, on the other hand, wear a white robe with their division number on the back along with their black robes to designate their rank.

Soul Society is truly a peaceful place where souls can live with no worries…Unknown to many of the inhabitants of Soul Society, a red magical force suddenly appeared in North Rukongai, District thirty. Had anyone been near the area at that point, they would have seen a young child that looked no older than four years old appearing from the phenomenon…

That's it. One moment he's writing an actual story and then he just drops the italicized exposition right into the text. No gradual discovery. Not even a dialogue-exposition.

The guy has a mediocre writing style, but as a crossover this fails.

2/5.

Hooray! A HPBleach Crossover

The concept behind the story is pretty good. What's there so far is interesting and not totally without its redeemable qualities. An update would be nice though.I do love the idea of Harry in Seireitei and then leaving and then coming back during Rescue Rukia arc. Hate the idea of lightninng zanpakuto though. Really could have though up something better, in what way does he symbolize lightning? He seems way too bubbly and happy in this story for a boy who remembers seing his mom killed right in front of him. And, although he is over a century old he hasn't gained any sense of caution or care, especially with his level on genius.

3/5
