Honest Criticism for New Stories!

Hey there! I’ve been writing for a while and needed a short break, so for a little bit (about a week or two until around the end of June) I will be doing reviews of new stories! I will correct grammar, plot, and script mistakes. If you have any suggestions for what I should look for, don’t hesitate to mention it! Here are my few requests for stories:

  • They cannot be longer than 4 episodes (I specified new)
  • They must be in mostly English (if other languages are briefly mentioned, its no big deal but I may translate them).
  • They must be written using computerized coding, and are not created on the episode app (stories made using only the app are very simple and use very limited detailing).

Please be aware that by criticizing your story, I am not trying to offend you or hurt your feelings personally. I am trying to be honest about your story and help you make it perfect! Everyone has great ideas, and I’m trying to help you present them!

Here is how you send your story to me:

  • In the episode writer portal, view your story.
  • Scroll down beneath where your episodes are listed, where it says: “Share your story and improve your rank!”
  • Copy that link and paste it in the comments of this post, or message it to me.
  • In addition, please state any requests for what you may want me to look for, such as character development, smooth transitions, overlays, etc.

Important Note:

All of my opinions and criticism will be private, and will only be sent to you (I will not respond to comments with results) I will message you my opinions after your story is read. I will also notify you when I begin to read your story, and give it an honest rating (I can only do so much with a certain amount of passes).

Thank you! :grin:

Thanks again.

Hi, @emmael!

Thank you very much for creating this thread, this is very kind of you! Constructive criticism is exactly what I am looking for!

If you are interested in reading a story with several mini-games and where CHOICES REALLY MATTER then, please, give my story a try. It has 4 different endings and it is really animated! All the backgrounds are custom and there is a special art scene as well. I promise, the plot will also keep you hooked :blush:

Here is the video trailer I made so that you can get a better idea what the story is about:

Hey there everyone! I’ll get to as many of you as I can, as soon as I can. After I notify you that I will read your story, it takes me about three to four hours to write your review. Hope this makes sense!

Hey @Tessx !

I definitely can.
Depending on when you plan on publishing it, of course! I’ll notify you when I am open to read it, however I will focus on published stories until I don’t have enough passes to read another (so just look out for a message from me whenever I am available, either today or tomorrow)!
