may i say that i find your story to be very entertaining, and i cant wait to read the other installments.

^_^

Yay! I'm a twin! You rock!

Whoa! This story was enthralling. It was so well done, I am surprised it has not been published. It is better than most stories I have actually paid to read. Thank you for sharing this freely with the masses.

Words cannot even began to describe how brilliant this story was! I enjoyed reading it so much! The characters were all very real and well developed. The detail in this story was absolutely amazing aswell! I feel like I was actually there, on the ship, the whole time and I felt really close to the characters! I can honestly see this getting published and becoming a best seller and eventually becoming a movie! (Even though the movie would probably mess up all the amazing details that were in the book) I loved how umpredictable the story was and how every chapter had something new and was never boring! I also thought the language was very clever. I liked how the swears the characters used were based on where the characters came from. When I would read this story I would completely forget I was reading it on the internet. It did something to me that no other fic on fictionpress has ever done before!

I could go on rambling forever about how much I loved this story but I think I will end it here.
If you ever get this story published, please let us know!

I found another mistake ^__^

"I came to make you eat dinner with us. With the latest royal addition I'm feeling outnumbered. His expression was rueful.

I think there should be an " after the word "outnumbered"

Like the chapter (:

I truly love this story (:
This is my second time reading it and that's saying something as I hate reading a story twice.
There was a spelling mistake I noticed though

"Ah, that's what I like to here. If you're still bored after dinner, I can recommend some recreation."
The "here" in this sentence was supposed to be spelled "hear"

Fatty

just finished book one, and I'll start on book two soon.
The only thing that was confusing was the change in scene. At some points you suddenly were reading about things that happen later and from there the story continues. So maybe a divider would have been nice. Other than that it was a wonderful story. I love the whole Dragon-collects-treasure! Thank you for the story!

COOL! REALLY COOL! I SAW NOTHING COMING! This is really good.

Great story, keep up the good work. Whats next, Whats next.

I read this chapter during a thunderstorm. It was eerie! I got shivers : )

oh freak! this was totally...ah!! i'm at a loss for what is exactally...but it was awesome!!

I know I'm a jerk for not reviewing every chapter, but it was too good to stop reading! I loved the ending a lot. You put a lot of work into this, and it shows. Great job, and keep writing! (Please?)

Ningyo, eh? Would that have anything to do with the fact that in Japanese folklore a ningyo (人魚) was "human fish" or a mermaid?

I thought it sounded familiar, so I looked it up and got this: Anciently, it was described with a mouth like a monkey's, small teeth like a fish's, shining golden scales, and a quiet voice like a skylark or a flute. Its flesh is pleasant-tasting, and anyone who eats it will attain remarkable longevity. However, catching a ningyo was believed to bring storms and misfortune, so fishermen who caught these creatures were said to throw them back into the sea. A ningyo washed onto the beach was an omen of war or calamity.
So, by being on land, will Captain Kindan Ningyo bring war or calamity?

And The Fuujin... I looked that up too. (Yes, I'm nosey, but I prefer to think of myself as curious). Apparently Fuujin (風神) is the Japanese god of the wind and one of the eldest Shinto gods. He was present at the creation of the world and when he first let the winds out of his bag, they cleared the morning mists and filled the Gate between heaven and earth so the sun shone.

You probably already knew that stuff, but I was quite surprised at your usage of Japanese folklore and beliefs. A good kind of surprised.

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!! They're twins?!?! I can't believe it! OMG!

Btw, I LOVE this story and everybody in it. LOVE. Now i must keep reading!

This story was fantastic and very fun to read. It was creative and it manage to keep the suspence till the end of what could happen. There were also a lot of things that I didn't see coming, one of them was Taka and Nankyo being twins, other was all of them living, and last was Raiden being a god. I thought it would all be a tragedy and I am glad it wasn't. Not only was the story was a joy to read but it also was writen very well. The characters stayed in character and when they weren't it was said so, the plost when slowly and all things were covered, except ofcourse what might be covered in the continuation of the story. The only flaw I saw in this story is that the shift of scene or shift in time within the chapters were made in a way that it wasn't notable until something seem off with the scene, which left me confused for a while until I realized what happened. I am not sure if in your later "books" it doesn't happen, but it would hurt to keep an eye out on how you make a scene or time shift. Anyways, I look forward to reading the rest of your stories, I am not sure but I think there is to be five books since only five things that are big were mentioned in the prophecy, so I can't wait to read the other two that are up and the two that are to come.
