About the review:
In this review, I’ll focus on mainly the plot and directing unless you want something else reviewed. Also, please be patient if I don’t get out your review quick, I’ll do my best
I would never dream of talking negatively about your story. If there is anything I notice that needs to be improved, I’ll mention it! You don’t have to necessarily agree with my reviews. Warning: I’m nitpicky so I will point out even the smallest things. My review will also be quite brutally honest because I’m not very good at sugarcoating things
You don’t have to do anything for me in return but if you would like to read my story, you can find it at the bottom of this post! I’d be so grateful

Review
Plot:
-The description of the story caught my attention right away, great job!
-I like the sound of the plot (reminds me of a Wattpad story ) but I think the way you wrote it really does fit the Drama genre.
-I absolutely love how you end every chapter with a cliffhanger.
Character Development [Extra]:
-MC: I think her character was portrayed perfectly! Especially with all the flashback scenes to explain how she was feeling in the present (I really liked these scenes.)
-Nathan: Not that many comments on Nathan currently but I would like to know more about his personality (At the moment, there is not much to him except that he cares very deeply for the MC - I would like to know why in the future).
-Relationship between MC and Nathan: I found their relationship in the past confusing because they said that they were best friends but it seemed like they were more (Or maybe it’s just how I saw it).
-Adam & Ryker: Ryker is a great character and Adam too (Is the MC equally afraid of both of them? Right now it seems that she is more afraid of Ryker - If this is what you intended then you can ignore this comment).
Directing:
-Directing is extremely good except a particular type of scene: Hugging scenes (The flow from walking to hugging the person was not smooth).
-Great choice of overlays! Don’t think I saw any issues with overlays except for the facetiming scene - for a second, the computer appeared on top of the MC.
-Speech bubbles: Sometimes they’re in the wrong place - Either the tail isn’t facing the person talking or the bubble is on top of the screen while the character is at the bottom.
Others:
-Punctuation: Missing full stops.
-Grammar: Didn’t spot many errors apart from “Your” and “You’re”.
Overall: I think you’re on your way to a great story! In the case of directing and the plot, it’s amazing! I hope you continue this story

(This review is up till episode 3).
Review
Plot:
-I love the choices where we can choose whether the character responds, for instance, shy or sexy or who responds first, I would like to know if the choices affect the ending because if they do, that’s amazing. Your choices are unique in a way because they affect the personality of the character and I am all for it!
-Narration of how the characters feel is great!
-The description of the story didn’t feel related to the actual story itself but that’s maybe because I haven’t read your other story.
-The ending of your chapters are excellent, it makes me want to read more.
Directing:
-In some scenes, when the character is talking, their mouth isn’t moving.
-Overlay choices are amazing.
-Overlay sizing: Not proportionate to the characters.
-Your speech bubble are all in the right place (which is rare to see), great work!
Others:
-Grammar and spelling: I have not spotted a single error up till episode 3, amazing
-Music choice is amazing, it really sets the tone of the story!
-Background characters: Joseph has vampire fangs (That’s not supposed to be there right?), also for character display names, I saw a “Doctor 2” somewhere.
Overall: I think you’ve got the right idea for the plot and the dialogue you have in your story is exceptional but there are quite a few things to fix when it comes to directing. Liking the story so far though! I hope you continue writing

Review
** Means that this is my personal preference
Plot:
-The way you bring up her past is really good.
-The romance between your characters are also good and I think your storytelling is alright, not many things to comment on here.
**Personally, the plot is a little too slow for me but that’s just me - Do get other people’s opinions on this
Character Development:
-Lucy: She’s a great character! I love how you tap into her relationship with her family and Roy straight up in the first episode. And that’s great because it does explain why she acts the way she acts most of the time. I also really love the way she reacts when Ryker walks into the classroom (Amazing - Makes me curious about her past). I really love your MC, I’m sorry for mentioning it so many times but I really do
-Ryker: Portrayed extremely well, I lowkey feel scared for Lucy now.
Directing:
-I don’t think I’ve seen this in the other stories I’ve read recently but your minigame was super fun to play (The fighting one). Do add in more of those!
-Overlays: I absolutely love your use of overlays especially with the shower door and the phone screen with the meme.
-Speechbubble: Mostly fine it’s just after a simultaneous zoom and the character talking, the bubble ends up in the wrong place (You can use spotting for the speech bubbles for this).
-Character: Not many errors except for one scene - Character appeared out of nowhere instead of walking onto screen and in one scene, Lucy is thinking to herself but her mouth moves.
** Personally, I think a white transition is enough to suggest a flashback, the reader message “Flashback” is not necessary.
Grammar [EXTRA]:
-Try sticking with the same tenses, most of the mistakes I noticed were because you used words from the past and the present.
-No spelling mistakes
Others:
-Music was used exceptionally well! The music matched every scene perfectly!
-I didn’t notice any spelling or mistakes, great job!
-The length of your chapters were just right, not too long, not too short.
Overall: I think your story is amazing! Just a few things need to be fixed in directing but other than that, your character and plot is great! Please continue writing
I hope this review helped! Even though I think your story is pretty good already

Review
I’ve only read one episode of your story, here’s the review!
** Means that this is my personal preference
Plot:
-I wasn’t sure what to expect from the story description, there was not a strong link between the description and the story itself.
-The plot is simple and easy enough to understand.
Directing:
-At times, characters are talking but their mouths aren’t moving, character expressions also don’t match what they’re feeling.
-Basic directing is alright, if you would like to step it up a notch, you can start experimenting with advanced directing!
Others:
-Grammar: I didn’t see that many grammar errors except for “You’re” and “Your”, good job!
-Spelling: No mistakes, amazing
**This comment may just be for me but I would prefer abbreviations such as “omg” to be written in full.
-Punctuations: Missing full stops, question marks should be used after a question.
-I think you should read the episode content guidelines on what can be included in an episode story (Some of the words used are supposed to be censored but was not in your story).
Overall:
I haven’t read much to say a lot but I think your plot is alright so far, the only thing I would suggest is to start experimenting with advanced directing because it can really take your story up a notch! Keep on writing
) but I think the way you wrote it really does fit the Drama genre.
