I’ve only just read the first chapter but I’m going to have to agree very strongly about this:
I like to try and be polite and subtle about things I don’t like but there are no words better than insanely awful story. It is so poorly written and it’s moving on way too fast.
The characters have minimal depth and we know nothing about them. They’re incredibly shallow and Episode doesn’t do anything to make me like them - they create no bond between reader and characters.
Parody or not, this could have been done a lot better.
Also, I couldn’t agree more with this:
Awful intro. I was so confused. I honestly have no words for how confusing it was to me.
Also, the Spotlight thing kind of confused me but it may be because I just prefer normal version. However, I just don’t think Spotlight fits this story.
So as shallow as much of this story is, it does occasionally make me laugh. The “bad bae” love interest asks the MC to prom by setting the grass on her front lawn on fire in the shape of the word PROM. WTH??? What a complete weirdo. Thankfully, you can make the MC react like, “What’s wrong with you!? Call the fire department!” Such an pathetically awkward and misguided display of affection. Ladies love when you light their lawns on fire!
There was also a moment where you can distract a gym teacher by claiming you see a shark in the locker room, and he runs away. Then the narration says, “It would be years before he realized there was in fact no shark.”
I wish they just scrapped the romantic overtures and fully embraced the parody.
Shane looks like Shane Dawson, and it makes me wanna vomit a lil in my mouth each time lmao. Shana does too (lol the name and being an equally ugly female counterpart)
I think I have officially warmed to this ridiculous story. In the latest chapter, I filibustered my way to a jailbreak by boring a cop to sleep and then sneaking past him.
My feelings are mix with this story, because I haven’t decided if it’s a parody or not.
The writing is god awful, directing is amateur for a featured story, the back and forth from spotlight to normal sometimes gives me a headache, the characters are over the top ridiculous, and the story is filled with maximum cliches! However, I find myself very entertain by it. Reminds me of Not Another Teens Movie, except it’s a parody.
The story is so laughable bad that Episode should just change the genre from Romance to Comedy and promote it as a parody/satire story!
I agree. I wish they would give up on the parts that are supposed to be romantic and just embrace the parody. I think this story is most entertaining when it allows itself to be truly absurd.
I don’t understand why they wouldn’t do that to begin with when the thing they say about it is exactly that “this is a satire, with a point to parody the bad boy cliche” …lol
I am not the most observant, so I didn’t realize that it was in the wrong category, but it totally is a satire. lol
