Nice story, good cover.

  • good directing
  • good coding
  • proper intro
  • proper outro
  • animations
  • good lenght
  • backgrounds
  • CC
  • nice theme

On the down side

Summary

I would point out 2 things that always bother my from story to story.

  • bombarting readers with punch of CC -> CC of the main characters is ok but i recommend moving the CC of thise 2 LI’s to the actual point where they are introduced -> makes things more natural and to be honest gives unexpected excitement.


  • bombarting readers with many characters and their descriptions -> this should be done step by step and interactivly -> too much information leads readers to remember non of this new info, to be honest I also don’t really remember any of their age or who they were… i just remember they were a band -> just try to avoid bringing in too many characters at once

And that’s it. Just a few things to take in consideration.

Overall it’s a nice story and I will recommend it on my IG @episode.merlin

The looping background is supposed to be that way and those speech bubbles have text effects. I’ll go through another run-through for matching speech bubbles.

I’m fine with how I started, Action does not have to be thrown in the readers face is how I see it. I actually wanted it to start off with a normal "slice of life with Rossabelle as a young adult and let the chaos descend afterward.

Thank you for the review, sorry it didn’t pique your interest.

Real nice one

You have it all

  • good intros
  • nice beginning
  • nice theme
  • advanced directing
  • advanced coding
  • CC at the right time (not bombarting the readers)
  • choices
  • point system
  • diversity
  • good story idea
  • backgrounds
  • good usage of overlays
  • proper cliffhanger
  • good outro

I would definitely continue reading this story

But …

Summary
  • the chapter was suuuuuper long -> it took me 33 minutes to finish it and to be honest I speed tapped in some parts after already reading it for 20 min. This is something you seriously have to consider. Keep the chapters between 13-15 minutes long.

Luckily your story is really good and hopefully people won’t start to question the lenght but we also have to think that the readers may not have the 1,6h to spend on 3 chapters.

Are the rest of the chapters as long as the first one or…?

I would really like to read more but as a working grown up I really don’t have the time for longer chapters. I truly hope you’ll continue writing though, because this story is really going somewhere.
Please take apart as many contest as you can and promote your story everywhere.

Overall, I’m gonna recommend your story on my IG account @episode.merlin

Thank you soso much for your thorough review and detail :heart: I honestly appreciate it so much! And yes I think you bring up a really good point about the story length :fearful: that’s definitely something I need to work on! the next two chapters are shorter but from when I timed it, I believe the length will still be 20 +/- 5 minutes :disappointed_relieved: thank you for spending your time and energy on this and it really does encourage and inspire me :smile:
