Naruto: The Wind Calamity by Devil_Hex

How close would you say we are to the end of the novel?

Nice bait but your comment is retarded. Your comments about the fight scenes, detail, boring nature etc., are subjective, but still overly critical. The fights scenes are very intricately designed and the author has gotten better at the story went on. The main critique of them I understand is that the fight itself is needless, rather than it being poorly written. I believe these cases are pretty rare though. Secondly, how is wind more boring than fire and earth? Maybe you only read 80 chapters or something, but not even before chapter 200, he gets a canon wind jutsu that is objectively more mechanically deep and lethal than just earth spikes. This isn't to say fire and earth suck, but to say wind jutsus are the worst is crazy to me. I'm not mentioning lightning because he does pursue lightning jutsus. You describe his endgame power (so I guess you have read farther??) as just "blowing wind at enemies". I don't know how you can say this with a straight face. He uses wind to cut down entire hordes of people. The entire reason wind jutsu is so formidable is because it cuts you. Think of Rasenshuriken shredding you to a cellular level. Most people in canon are just shit with it. You sound like you're describing Temari rather than MC. People who are good with it are people like Danzo, or the second kazekage. Speaking of Rasenshuriken, please tell me how any Rasengan variant (on its own, without some god character holding it like KCM2 Naruto) is superior to ? No Rasengan variant, unless you have endless chakra to lob dozens of them, is doing anything comparable to MC's wind jutsus when it comes to dealing with groups of enemies. For single target, he does possess Rasenshuriken, by the way, but he also has his Vacuum jutsus, which are just as good and use substantially less chakra. Rasengan on its own is not all that, and most of the variants are things MC is completely locked out of doing since they require Kekkai Genkai, or involve nature transformation. Wind is his most powerful nature affinity, hence Rasenshuriken. By the way, for any potential new readers, Rasengan training is one of the first thing MC does, it just never becomes his main focus. Plus, what is a more OP canon jutsu to learn than ? To act like he doesn't go after broken stuff like this is silly.

The author is intentionally limit him from using because he wants MC to be special and don't want MC to get op too soon.
he should have at least made it so the MC couldn't learn Rasengan but learning it and never using it is so stupid. Rasengan has so much potential even at six path level it can still be used. Also why the fk does he need to learn so much jutsus when he could have just developed Rasengan and just spam that? MC is jack of all trash trades master of none, he wastes his potential and chakra amount.

O Autor desistiu ??

yeah, the author did really good the first 400 chapters, he should just have followed the cannon after, but no, he decided that he will make the mc do a lot of shit between nruto and naruto shippuden (those 3 years they train), if the author just had a timeskip and later resumed what the mc did in those years it would have been better

the worst mistake of the author was trying to make so much more than necessary, he could have just skipped the 3 yrs of training before shippuden and it would be good, the author had the groundwork done already, he could have time-skipped months, summarize events, and repeat again until shipudden, but he decided to make so many unnecessary chapters that made the novel go down fast
