I just read the pilot of your story, so here’s some honest feedback that you asked for :blush:

The premise is pretty intriguing, and from the first episode, I really wanted to find out where Kaia had vanished. You did a great job of hooking me! One criticism I do have is that there should be more suspenseful buildup to that scene, in my opinion.

For the Character Customization in the beginning, this is more of my personal tastes… but I find it takes away from the story to customize the characters all in one scene. I prefer the customization to smoothly transition throughout the events of the story (for example, when you first meet a character, you then have the option to customize, opposed to customizing the main cast at the beginning). You definitely don’t have to change this though, this is just my opinion :slightly_smiling_face:

The character introductions at the party also took away from the story. The point of episodes are to show more, and not tell. However, if you prefer putting more narration into these introductions, find a more creative way to introduce important figures to the story, instead of “this character’s name is name. He/she is insert relationship to MC

The directing was pretty solid; there were a few mistakes, but none that seriously took away from the quality of the story. I just noticed a possible zoom error during the convo between the MC and Xana, and the MC being at the wrong layer when she woke up on the bed with Ash. All in all, great job with directing! I liked the background characters, especially in the high school.

Probably my biggest criticism with the pilot was the consisten grammar errors. They aren’t too drastic— the sentence structures used in your dialogue are correct, however, there are constantly spots where commas are supposed to go; I also noticed that sometimes there are end marks missing at the end of a sentence. I haven’t read the other episodes, so I don’t know if the grammar errors will continue, but maybe just get someone to proofread your story. I know how hard writing episodes are, so getting a second pair of eyes to help you will definitely make the writing process easier, especially if you struggle with grammar.

Overall, the pilot was a great start to this story, and I’m definitely hooked! I really want to see what happens to these eight characters. I love mystery stories, so I trust that there will be a lot more exciting plot twists in the future. Keep writing, this is a great premise! :grin:

Can you please read my story and give feedback? :blush:

Just finished reading the first episode! Overall, that was pretty amazing! :heart:

I’m only one episode in, but I already love the characters, specifically Iesha— she’s hilarious, and I love her! Rosalie also attracted my attention, she’s a great MC, a realistic and likeable one at that! It’s hard to find decent MCs these days in Episode stories— you definitely hit the jackpot on one what an MC SHOULD be like! School ‘em!

The grammar was almost flawless— a couple of minor errors, but pretty dang good :blush:

My favorite part of the chapter was Aaron and Rosalie’s inner monologues. Usually, I don’t like that much narration, but you described their thoughts beautifully and I loved it.

I loved the background characters and spot directing for the city street! The only directing error in this chapter was Rosalie randomly popping up on the screen in the middle of her phone call with Iesha after meeting Aaron.

Great story! I’ll definitely continue to read as you update! You definitely deserve more reads :dizzy:

Of course! I noticed you wanted me to submit the feedback via fan mail, but would you like a more detailed response on this thread instead?

More detailed response here. And if you want. Do a fanmail.

The summary really hooked me! I’m a big fan of fantastical elements in stories, so I was pretty excited to read yours.

To start off, I loved how you incorporated elements of humor into the choices. The dressing game choices are hilarious. I’m always out on the lookout for subtle humor, especially in stories that aren’t in the comedy genre. Keep it up! :blush:

Hehe sorry if I’m just a total idiot, but I didn’t really understand why the MC’s friend randomly ran into the canyon. Was it because the MC passed out and went to the hospital? Some other small scenes didn’t really make sense to me.

The directing was pretty great! There were some spot directing errors while the characters were moving but that’s alright. You made great use of the background characters! :heart:

There were a lot of consistent grammar errors, usually with punctuation and apostrophe use. Make sure to proofread your story, because a lot of readers take grammar really seriously :slight_smile:

Great story! I loved the use of overlays, and that cloud intro especially was a fantastic touch to the story! The plot intrigued me and I really wanna see how Shane finds out she’s the daughter of heaven and hell! Keep writing

AH! Thank you so so so much! I tried so hard to make sure the characters were realistic, so I’m ecstatic that you noticed that! The best way I could make their personalities as personal as possible was actually inserting dialogue that not only I’ve experienced, but I’ve observed around me. I’m so happy for your response!

I really did try to apply what my college classes have taught me when it came to the grammar and spelling. :sweat_smile:

Oh, the monologues… I was actually very iffy about them. I had to tap into my inner hopeless romantic mindset! Hehe!!!

I agree with that error! I definitely didn’t like how it looked like she appeared out of nowhere. I’m thinking I should have put the code in before the “@pan to zone 2”.

Again, thank you for the feedback and your criticism. I’d love to hear more once I release more chapters. You’ve really motivated me! Also, don’t ever feel like you’re being too blunt when giving your opinions. I need to hear the truth, and it will help me grow as an author and writer!
