So what does Ryan actually say about the chapters?

He says that he's just enjoying the ride, whilst providing grammer and prose edits.
He loved this recent chapter to the core and can't wait for part 2.
At the same time, he sorta wants to learn more about the actual Eva cast. Rei fascinates him. OH GOD.

Has he seen any of the series yet?

O, jeez.
You actually just reminded me that I haven't explored Rei at all yet.
(Don't you say a fucking word)

In between chapters, I've been thinking about how I'm going to end this, and I think I'm going to pull a GAINAX ending before moving on to the End.
It would mirror the "Congratulations" scene, except that no one would be saying that. Everyone would be scowling at Shinji. Kaworu would step forward and remark about how Shinji made the wrong choice, and how he brought about the end of humanity. Then Kaworu would vanish and Shinji would be left alone with the scowling figures.

Fucking insomnia.
Damn... That's harsh man. Shinji actually had reasons to be depressed in this timeline. Thus, we must do this.

Yeah, I thought so too. Also, Mana doesn't even smile at him.

DUDE, WHY?!
WHY DOES SHE NOT SMILE, AND WHY DO I LOVE THIS IDEA SO MUCH?!

In contemplation of the end, I came across the idea that there were at least three possible outcomes to this version of Instrumentality. In the original material, there was only acceptance, and rejection. In NPE, assuming Shinji is once again the sacrifice, he may choose (consciously or not) to Accept Instrumentality, that is, uniting everyone into one soul and mind just as before. Also as before, he may choose Total Rejection, as he did in the End of Evangelion.
Because of the existence of Limbo, he may inadvertently choose a third option, which is to dump everyone into Limbo. This Incomplete Instrumentality would actually lead to the death of mankind, the exact opposite outcome desired by SEELE. Everyone trapped within Limbo would be unable to tell the difference and would thereby continue their lives. But since it is only their minds that live on, no truly new humans may be produced. And since time in Limbo stretched on to Infinity, the entire human race would be extinct within hours in the real world.
This is what Shinji does at first, drops everyone into the unlimited space of Limbo, confined to their own nonrealities. Shinji ends up in a world where everyone still doesn't like him. Only Kaworu is real and appears to tell Shinji he doomed everyone.

I like it. And Kaworu's role reminds me of ghost Asuka; which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

He's in this more than before, and actually befriends Shinji. Not only that, but he basically refuses to become Tabris to let Humanity live, but Adam made him fight.

I like it. He's an actual character rather than a plot device that just sorta showed up.

I am also going to raise the issue soon of whether Mal is actually dead or not.
