When I heard the premise of this fic, I was a bit sceptic. I am barely familiar with Familiar de Zero, and while I love Prototype, I never actually played the game. To me, it was most likely to just involve Alex butcher everybody, and God knows I hate that kind of fic. But I heard it was Better Than It Sounds, so I decided to give it a try.
And I am glad I did.
The fic is nothing like I fear it would be. It actually takes advantage of its premise very well, and tries to develop the characters the best it can. Alex Mercer's characterisations are especially great, combining Comedic Sociopathy to hilarious ends while also giving him Character Development beyond a murderous man-eating monster.
Overall, great fanfiction, and I am really sad it appears to be a Dead Fic. Let's hope the writer eventually changes his mind.
Much better than its premise would suggest
