Hello there. I hope I’m not bothering you. I’m writing you this message because I wanted to express how much I have enjoyed reading Goku and The Red Dragon. Out of the few Dragon Ball stories I’ve read, this was by far, one of the best. Goku and Midori-ko’s relationship is the most romantic, passionate and sincere I have ever seen in a Dragon Ball fic in…. Ever. They live for each other, they fight for each other, and they always got stronger with each passing day. It’s the type of love I have always dreamt of seeing in a Dragon Ball story featuring Goku but was unable to find it until I stumbled on yours. Goku’s character in this was outstanding. He was still himself as the lovable goofball that he is, but we also see him grow up as well. And it's true, Goku may be a little dumb at times, but he isn't an idiot.
Midori-ko herself was an amazing, complex character, and I enjoyed seeing her development. While I did share the complaint of her being on the sidelines most of the time, I do understand both hers and your reasonings behind it, and seeing her make that comeback (at least in my opinion) was glorious ^-^. All hail the Fire Queen.
I loved every part of this roller coaster of a story, and I’m so happy to have found it. I have wanted to make a story for Dragon Ball for years, I had an idea for it, but have always been afraid to do so. Fearing that it might become cringy or making it into a giant mess, but this one? This was the first story to reignite that desire. So, thank you so much. For creating this incredible story and for helping me find inspiration for Dragon Ball again.
Sincerely, Ivory Luna.
P.S. Coincidentally enough, for my story, one my original characters also has red hair and has fire capabilities.
