Synopsis

Demon Slayer, fanfiction, derivative work, transmigration, Shinobu Kocho, redemption, healing.

Shinobu sat there watching as the young man spoke animatedly. His eyes shone with passion when he talked about the magnificent mountains and rivers. Now and then, a hint of sadness crossed his face at the thought of parting, but it was soon replaced by an even more vigorous youthful spirit. His exuberance was so dazzling that every obstacle in his path seemed insignificant, as if he could kick his troubles away like a stone in the road.

“Yan.”

“Hmm?”

“Your hometown... will you ever go back?”

“I don't know. Maybe I'll go back someday, or maybe I'll never be able to. But sometimes I think that ‘home’ doesn't necessarily have to be the place you want to return to. It can also be a place where you feel you can stay, and where someone wants you to stay.”

“Then you can stay... There's an empty lot beside the Butterfly Mansion, isn't there?”

Just as she was lost in thought, she suddenly felt a slight tug on her head.

She came to her senses and turned to see Su Yan leaning over from across the table. He was reaching halfway across it, winding a strand of hair that had fallen beside her temple around his finger again and again, thoroughly enjoying himself.

“What are you doing?” Shinobu raised an eyebrow and chided him. “My hair isn't a piece of straw for you to practice tying knots with.”

Su Yan looked innocent. His finger kept winding the strand around itself, letting go once he finished, then winding it up again.

Tragic Stories with Shinobu Kocho as the Sole Heroine, the More Heartbreaking the Better

Demon Slayer, with Shinobu Kocho as the sole female lead. The protagonist shouldn't have a System or transmigrate or anything like that (speaking normally). I want angst that leaves a deep impression and lingers in the mind (seriously). I want angst, angst, angst, angst, angst (crawling around in a dark, twisted way).

Male Lead Transmigrates into Demon Slayer, with Shinobu Kocho as the Female Lead

The male lead just needs to be normal. A System would be nice, and the female lead can be Shinobu Kocho or Mitsuri Kanroji. (Oh my god, it's been three years since I last checked, and it has 8 million views!)

The protagonist's self-created "Breathing of the Heart" allows him to transform his inner emotions and poetic imagery into tangible sword techniques (a very novel breathing method). The author's writing style is also quite good, and the text incorporates many poetic verses that are used effectively. It's a novel worth reading.

It's so good! It's very literary and philosophical; I could use many parts as material for an essay! I was particularly struck by the scene where the Pillars held their meeting to judge Tanjiro. Watching the original episode really left me feeling uneasy. I felt their actions were wrong. They had no evidence that Nezuko had eaten or harmed humans, yet they concluded she had to be killed.

Well, let's start with the drawbacks. Judging from the first seven or eight chapters, I can only say that they are poorly written. The battles and dialogues are unbearable to read, and they don't give me any desire to continue reading. However, starting around the time of the slaying of Xia Lu, the author gradually improved, and the battles and dialogues became quite well-written, making it even…

I've finished reading it all. Perhaps the world-building hasn't fully unfolded yet, but let me share my initial thoughts. Firstly, the battle and emotional storylines are both quite good, placing it in the upper-middle tier of Demon Slayer fanfiction. However, there are two issues...

I was like a dog passing by, innocently kicked twice. I can't take it! I can't be the class's psychological counselor! I feel like there's a piece of wood on my head constantly provoking me. I'm going to have a tug-of-war with it using my neck! 😄

This is the best Demon Slayer novel I've ever read. The emotions in it feel incredibly real; it has both sweetness and depth. Many of the emotions are expressed using classical Chinese poetry, which adds a touch of peace to the otherwise cruel ending of Demon Slayer. It's fantastic! 👍

This is a really good fanfiction in my opinion; a single female ninja is also very nice ❤️❤️

It's great! Hagi's writing is superb, and the main characters and Shinobu are so sweet. There are 63 pages of confession. Hagi, who writes sweet stories, must keep writing!
