:yay: Cherii's Story Reviews :yay:

If you want your story reviewed by Cherii, please keep reading (:

Hello everyone! So I love reviewing stories for some reason. I like the idea of helping people fix their mistakes & it even helps me (sometimes, lol) as well.
Basically what I’m trying to say is I want to review some stories. I do have an Instagram group for story review (Helping Epi Community (@helpingepicommunity) • Instagram photos and videos) but I do want to review some stories here in the forums!

DISCLAIMER:

I will be giving my honest thoughts. It’s not meant to hurt or ridicule you! I only want to help the best way I can.

I will only review 3 chapters. If I enjoyed reading your story, I’ll continue reading on my own interest (:

The Good:

  • I love the plot! It’s very unique. I can’t wait to see the revenge!
  • I love Selena and Joesph looks. They aren’t really many plus-size MC, but even though Selena isn’t the MC, she’s very close to the MC.
  • The directing is amazing even though it’s not that advanced but it doesn’t matter. I still enjoyed it.

The Ugly:

  • For many “bad words” in your story, you didn’t add a *. You might want to do that so episode doesn’t have a reason to delete your story.
  • Some of the speech bubbles are not in the right position.
For Example




  • When Joesph and the MC came to see what Selena was about to show them, they came one at a time. You should let Joesph and the MC to come at once:
    @JOESPH enters from left to screen left AND MC enters from left to screen center
For Example

I will continue the story and post it on my shoutout Instagram page! I would ask if you follow that page if you haven’t already.

thank you sm & your welcome!

The Good:

  • I like the flow of the story so far.
  • Your story is a bit comical and I like that.
  • I like the plot of your story, very interesting and it caught my attention.

The Ugly:

  • Most of the time, if not all, the speech bubbles aren’t in the right position.
For Example

  • At the beginning (Chapter 1), you keep saying that the story will get better as you keep reading. You don’t need to say that- the readers shouldn’t know that the story is “bad” if you know what I mean. By saying that the story will get better as you keep reading, might tick my readers off. Chapter 1 of any story should be the attention grabber. If the readers didn’t enjoy reading chapter 1, they’ll most likely click off your story.
For Example

  • I would advise you to get a proofreader because you did have some grammar errors. I couldn’t screenshot all of them but these are the ones that I got:
For Example


Should be changed to: They are my parents, of course, they’ll understand.

Should be changed to: One day, these teachers will be the death of me!

Should be changed to: First of all, these heels are killing me! This author isn’t really considerate.

  • In Chapter 3?, Jeremy just pops up randomly. You should make him walk to the position.
For Example:

  • In Chapter Two, I chose the black dress so I could go to the club but in chapter three, I wore a completely different dress. You should use Dara’s dressing game with flags tutorial, so when readers pick a black dress in chapter two, they could still be able to remember their choice in future chapters!
    Click!
For Example:

I see the hard work in your story and your story really does have great potential! They’re just some errors that you could fix to make it better! I hope you liked this review and wish you and your stories well :two_hearts:

You are doing a good job @ciaraxoxoc
Keep rocking hun!

The Good:

  • I really like the idea of the story. It’s very interesting & unique!
  • I really enjoyed the way you put the story together.

The Ugly:

  • Throughout the story, most of the speech bubbles weren’t in the right positions.
For Example

I couldn’t get all of it but these are the ones I screenshotted.




  • Sometimes the characters just pop up on the screen. Try using & instead of @ when spotting characters.
For Example

I couldn’t get all of it but these are a few:


  • You need to look back & correct when layering your characters. One character is blocking the other character & the character’s layering looks so messy.
Example



  • A girl in the first episode looks like a non-black person but she has dreadlocks & a broad nose (which is all an African trait). Please change it (:
Example

  • Sometimes characters are sitting down in one position (or standing) then automatically is in a laying down position. You should make the transition to a position. For example, if the character is initially standing, they should walk to the bed & lies down. Maybe do the jump animation so it can look like they were jumping to the bed to lie down. When the characters aren’t transitioning through positions, it looks messy & very robotic.
Example


I can tell you worked very hard on your story. However, I think that the biggest mistake you frequently make is the directing/ spotting. Try to make your characters be correctly layered (not on top of each other). Make sure you frequently move the speech bubbles to a good position when needed. (Good position means the speech bubble is pointing to the character or their month). Make sure you use & when spotting characters to their positions instead of @, so that the characters don’t pop up randomly. Good luck with your story & hope you enjoy this review :two_hearts:

I never noticed it… :neutral_face:

And thankyou for the review… And yes I am trying to work on my … directing… tho :slightly_smiling_face:
