Eve's reviews! Only honest ones [CLOSED] šŸ˜ˆ

Eveā€™s reviews!

Do you think your story is worth reading?
Or maybe you are not sure about publishing it and you need someone who will honestly tell you every little detail about your story?


If yes, just leave me all details here, and I will write an honest review.

All you need to do is leave a comment here in

this form

Where should I leave a review? Here or DM.
(If someone wonā€™t let me know where it should be sent, Iā€™m going leave it here!)

BUT before you do it you should read it:

Rules
  1. Donā€™t add a story if the first episode is made only for CC - I wonā€™t keep reading it.
  2. Donā€™t tell me how many episodes should I read, it all depends on the first episode!
  3. Donā€™t add a story if you are not able to take an honest opinion of someone. I will tell you honestly what I think!
  4. I just leave you a review, Iā€™m not a proofreader.
  5. Fill the form - if not, I wonā€™t review this story.
  6. If you post an unpublished story, at least, one episode has to be done.
  7. Donā€™t add your story if you care only about reads. Visit my R4R Thread

So far, I did a lot of reviews in groups in this forum. The most important, for me, is a plot and direction. So, I will focus on it! I donā€™t mind if there is no CC, or how many choices are in your story. It wonā€™t affect my judgment.

What do I hate in stories...
  1. Not spotting bubbles!
  2. When the author shows herself in all episodes!
  3. The boring conversation about ā€œweatherā€!
  4. Too much of shitty arts.
  5. Sweet talk between lovers (by this, I mean when characters are vomitting rainbow every time they open their mouth.)

EDIT

So far, I've seen everyone keeps making the same mistakes over and over again. Most of them are really basic...
  1. Background characters. There is a lot of places which should be crowded. The scene will look better and more dynamic with them.
  2. Layers. It is really important to add them during hugging or slapping. Let look it more natural.
  3. Comment enter/exit. Decide are you using spots or using these two comments. When a character is entering a spot or exiting from a spot - it will ALWAYS change her high. It looks so unnatural.
  4. Adding talk animation. The episode gave us a lot of loop animations for talking - use them when there is more than one line, or before every line - use an animation.
  5. Bubbles - spot all of them!
  6. Narratorā€™s bubbles during zooming - spot them in the place where it wonā€™t end up on the face.
  7. Never let characters pop up on the scene - there is nothing wrong in writing all characters in the one line by adding AND between them.

As long as you didnā€™t tell me where should I leave a review, I decided to write here.

Review

The first impression

The title, cover, and description are really important for stories. Your title is good, for my taste. It makes me think there will be a lot of action. But, I canā€™t tell the same about cover and description. The cover is just ok. Also, I donā€™t like when the same cover is used twice. The description confused me. It sounds a bit like a father and a daughter will fall in love. Weird, right?

Direction

Not bad. You did a lot of a good job.

All bubble tails were placed correctly, but sometimes bubbles were too high, and cover faces. A bit annoying.

Overlays! They always make the story look better. Most of them were used correctly, but the scene of the shooting. When MC enters the house the blood overlay showed up in zone 1, and then disappear to the correct place. Also, water overlay doesnā€™t look good with a bathtub. In my opinion, it will look better if ā€˜date overlayā€™ will be used in the corner instead of the middle.

Good job with spoting characters! But donā€™t make them talk when they are moving from spot to spot. They look like sliding, not natural at all. Then, remember to slow them down, it happened they were walking too fast, or sometimes they were too small.

Dialogues. Smooth and nice to read. Iā€™m not a native speaker, so it is not my place to correct your grammar. But there was one thing which was annoying me - you donā€™t use big letters after a dot.

Plot

There is potential. I like you mixed the present time with the past. And thank that you let the reader discover the past with the MC. Butā€¦ The mafia thing is confusing me. Dan is not a typical mafia son. He seems even too emotional for this. And it didnā€™t let me like him at all. Putting mafia in the story is a really controversial thing for me. From a long time Iā€™m interested in this kind of things and writing about them is a really hard job to do. I recommend you to read or watch documentary movies about them before putting more details. Also, how it is even possible to find so many personal information in Google about mafia by a normal girl. After all, the plot is likable and really interesting for me, and Iā€™m sure other readers can agree with me.

You are right it doesnā€™t look like a mystery story at all. Better change the genre.

itā€™s hard to make a good description when you have a serten amount of letters. and i dont wanna do one of those wage one many do. when i read them i always think. the heck shall use this for i wanna know what the story is about not that mc is going through a journey in her life there will change her. that does not explain anything

cover working on a better one but canā€™t really come op with anything.

if there is characters there slide in, its cause you tap to fast.

i cant write bad guys. i tried. and I just canā€™t make the personality work. i know he is not what people expect.

also, i dont get what you mean she found on google. all she found was some news paper articles. i know i did not make that clear sorry about that. i am not the best at details

i really appreciate your review thanks for reading my story.

It is the truth. It is extremely hard to write a good description when we are limited. Most of them are really similar.

Good luck on ideas with a new cover!
Btw. Have you tried to find someone to help? Iā€™m guessing there are some people who will be happy to do it!

I donā€™t think I tapped too fast. I always read slowly when Iā€™m doing reviews. Trying to focus on all details.

About Google.
I meant this what you said. The information seems to be cut. Maybe better make MC look like reading the article.

Review

The first impression
The cover and the title made me feel Iā€™m going to read about mean bitch. But, you surprised me a bit. And in a good way! Even so, I think covers and title suit pretty well. Unfortunately, I canā€™t say it about the description. It doesnā€™t make me feel I want to read it.

Plot
There is no doubt I was reading drama story! After reading all four episodes, I already hate the mother of MC and Tina. They are so annoying, for my taste. Even, they seemed too bitchy. Also, one scene was weird. The father came to his own son to tell he doesnā€™t know what to do with his wife, to complain about her drinking problem. It looked like heā€™s more like son, not father. And, the scene in the clinic was unnatural for me. She is pregnant, not sick! ā€œDo u wanna call someone?ā€ā€¦ Also, just after the interview, she canā€™t be 80% sure she is pregnant or not. Overall, the rest of your story was really interesting! I liked that u tell enough information about characters in the first episode.

Direction

I havenā€™t found a lot of mistakes. You are really good at coding. Just I think, it will look better if you will zooming at the same time as someone is talking. It is easy to do it, you should only start a line with " & " instead of ā€œ@ā€. And I recommend adding more backgrounds characters during the parties. It will make the scene look more dynamic.

Good for you, you use overlay very well. But once you forgot adding a layer for a glass! And MC was between the glass and the table! Also, the glass of the wine was too big.

You are trying to not let characters walk fast, but you missed once it, during the balcony scene!

Transmission. Nice thing to add between scenes, but u add too much of it during the date of two girls.

Bubbles and dialogues. Good, you kept spotting all bubbles. But, unfortunately, some dialogues werenā€™t natural for me. You should keep it more like a dialogue, not a monolog. You let one person talk too much in some scenes. Also, I found some language mistakes like " to", ā€œyourā€, " its". Please, correct it. And the sweet talk. Iā€™m not a fan of it. So, maybe it is a reason what it was annoying me.

the son and the father scene. i am definitely going to fix that. episode one is going to be revamped soon.
the wine glass was really big :joy:. i thought i was tripping. the romance was a bit too mushy for me too. iā€™m not great at romance, i felt like i needed to put it in lol. iā€™ll fix the balcony scene. i do need to add more background characters. i agree. iā€™ll fix the overlay - i noticed that too when i was replaying it today. the date between the girls was kinda of just thrown in there because itā€™s was valentineā€™s day. iā€™ll fix all of that. thank you for taking the time to read and review my story :heartpulse:
oh i definitely will fix the clinic scene lol.
