"Bait and Switch" Fics

Yeah, that would be the one... as I gave up on it I didn't know it even had sequels.

For another one is Overlord by ChibiReaper. Which was an enteraining Disgaea/Nartuo cross
involving a Bored Laharl taking Naruto as an heir fic... and it was good. Then around chapter 10 Naruto abruptly decides that as he is going to the local
NetherWorld to take over that he is going to abruptly remove the entire civilian population from Kohona, to make the village STRONGER, much Stronger... you
know by removing all sources of agriculture, trade, day to day stores, the blacksmiths, etc... and then import all supplies. The hell? Make the village
stronger by eliminating its self sufficiency entirely and make it dependant on constant importing of goods and services. This was something ChibiReaper tried
to cover by stating he meant the civilian government aspect as the screwed everything up in the first place, but only after get half a zozen WTF?!?! reviews on
the subject.

The problem was that Naruto's plan, which he'd planned to set off then leave for the Netherworld as it went off, basically started a full on war
against the civilians after the ninja, minus a skeleton crew, were off hnting down remanents of the failed invasion during the Chunin exams... this plan would,
by default, kill off his stil beloved older brother character, Iruka, in the first 10 minutes or so. That Naruto proceeded tolaugh about this plan as funny.

The logical problems with this was that Flonne and Etna were there and knew about this. These two have standing orders that if Laharl ever turns into a
teamkilling madman they are to execute him by his own orders. Naruto is Laharl's heir in training. Naruto just killed off thousands of people on his own
side, including beloved family, literally gleefully... and no one blinks. In the Nippon Ichi verses, this is the same thing as killing off the that many of
your own party members... which would mean earning a Bad end dozens of times over... and instead of killing off the corrupted Naruto its treated as a good idea
and as a normal chapter end.

I don't know what then happens, but unless Naruto gets offed and the story goes into New Game+ mode, with the player trying for a different ending, I could
not see the story recovering from that point. So I don't know what happens then after. I found this abrupt genre changing into a dark revenge fic
borderline traumatic.
