Oh wow, you just made me cry. That was beautiful and so effective -- the language, the imagery, the repetition. Ohtar's loyalty and devotion was palpable. You are so good at packing an emotional punch in just a handful of paragraphs. 

Oh wow, this was so good! Very vivid, very emotional! Ohtar feels so real, and his loyalty is beautiful. You did a lot with few words!

You know, I have been thinking about Ohtar a lot. He was the first OC I have written about, but I’m not sure if I have ever read anyone else’s fic about him. So this was a fascinating read already for this reason.

I really enjoyed the language and the general flow how the story was written. You have pictured so well that special relationship between Isildur and Ohtar. I like the idea that he was already serving Isildur in Númenor. And I’m sure that Ohtar was one of the first ones who noticed the change that the One Ring caused in Isildur. He must’ve been a trusted man for Isildur.

The ending of this fic really makes me think that a new life is waiting for the person who was Ohtar as he’s called by his name he had forgotten. Great ending.

This is wonderful! The almost poetic repetition is so evocative, and Ohtar's devotion really shines through. What a great use of the prompt!

Oh my! I got a delicious shiver when I reached the end and found my eyes moistened. This is simply fantastic!

I love this look at Ohtar and his devotion and fealty. I was surprised that his story started as early as Isildur's theft of the fruit of Nimloth, but it made perfect sense, and it was heartbreaking to follow his service to Isildur from idealistic young man to hard-hearted and Ring-poisoned king. All the more beautiful to have a happy ending for him, finding a kind new lord in Valandil. There are so many wonderful details here - the replaced name, the measure of trust and love between Ohtar and Isildur, the pain as silence falls between them. As others have already said, your use of language and imagery is really effective. You've managed to put a lot into a short piece!

Oooh, I loved this! Ohtar's devotion for Isildur is so great, through all the challenges they went through together. I love that he played a part in the rescue of the seed of Nimloth.

Uao, that was so beautiful! He is such a good friend! It made me cry, beautiful! 

Oh 🥺

Well done.

I like the role you have envisaged for him, before his final service to Isildur.

It is good that he finds some of what he had with Isildur, and lost to the Ring, again with Valandil, in the end!

So beautiful, and so heartbreaking, too!

Poor Ohtar, it's almost worse to think he was along for the whole arc from Numenor to the Gladden Fields than if he just happened to be the one there in the end. At least he recognized it was the Ring causing that change!

Oh, this is lovely. I am very moved by how Ohtar's fealty and faith both run through the story.
