Playing Pregnant

Plot - The plot was overall amazing and I love the pace of it. I have to say that your narration is really good and it brings a lot of depth into what the MC is saying. It is also very unique as I’ve never read a story like this before, which makes it stand out more.

MC - The MC is hilarious LOL and so is Chase by the way. I can see her developing a lot more as a character in the future episodes. Her personality is a bit too bold but I like it!

SC (side characters) - As I mentioned before, Chase is hilarious. I love how supportive Drew is of the MC and her choices when it comes to personal matters. I love Seth! He seems like a genuine guy and has pure intentions with the MC.

Overall - Honestly, this is one of the stories that have genuinely made me laugh. This story has a lot of potential and I can see it making it big in the future! Your writing style is also really good and I love the little messages you inserted on the top discouraging drinking and driving. I’d also like to see more flashbacks of Seth and the MC to build some foundation between them for the readers! Keep on doing what you’re doing!

This story is a 5/5 !

I wish you the best on your writing journey on episode ! <3

A Safe Danger

Plot - The overall plot was different as we faced the traumas of the MC right off the bat. Meeting Tommy was really fast but that created the tension between Tommy and the MC. I definitely think this story is unique as it deals with matters of the heart. I would’ve preferred for the pace of the story to be a bit slower but its just a preference!

MC - The MC has a very bold personality and I would love to see as the story progresses some character development as she becomes closer to Tommy.

SC (side characters) - Charlie was really kind to the MC and Cece’s personality is very likable. Tommy is so cute towards the MC !! LMAO Fiona kills me every-time she calls out for Tommy.

Overall - The move to boarding school was very abrupt and I would have preferred for the MC to find out a bit differently. I love the mentioning of Tommy’s past! Makes him more alluring although I would have preferred for the rest to be a bit of a mystery and then to be uncovered as the story progresses. The narration is very different and I am living for it! The way the MC dealt with her trauma resurfacing is an accurate description of what someone that has PTSD deals with and I like how you described it. I kinda wish that Tommy and the MC could have been introduced slowly to build the tension between them, but nonetheless the MC’s reaction to him is building the tension. Your story has a lot of potential and I’m excited to see what happens next!

This story is a 4.5/5 !

I wish you the best on your writing journey on episode ! <3

The Interview

Plot - The plot itself was really really intriguing! There was a lot of mystery and the pace of the story is perfect! This story is also unique and I have never read something like this!

MC - The MC was really gullible and I am afraid he might pay for it later! Kael is insanely awesome and I really love his character!

SC (side characters) - Aiden does really live up to his name of being the “mom” to Elli. Aiden and Elli’s relationship is really cute even though Aiden did flirt with him in the first episode! Vivi has a bold personality but it really does suit her as she is a detective!

Overall - The intro was very sudden and the flashbacks caught me off guard. I didn’t really know what was going on. Kael’s personality is very… intriguing! He gives me an alluring creepy vibe. That little interrogation moment between Kael and Elliott was amazing! Holy crap! Kael is a seriously interesting character! I love the way you wrote him out to be. The case is very well explained and the details are amazing! I love this story and I will definitely continue reading it!

This story is a 5/5 !

I wish you the best on your writing journey on episode ! <3

Dear Danger

Plot - The plot is somewhat unique, it does stand apart from others as the beginning scene shows something dark that was in the past.

MC - Hope seems to be very defensive towards Dan at this point. I hope to see some character development in future episodes where she becomes more open. A few flashbacks can help show why she is the way she is.

SC (side characters) - Ray seems very nice and supportive towards Hope. I have a feeling that Elizabeth and Hope are going to be enemies! This is very interesting. Rose seems very suspicious with Chase missing. This built in some suspense!

Overall - It’s a little too fast paced in the sense that I would like to get to know the characters and their relationships with one another throughout the story. The narration can be improved but its good as this is your first story! I wish the departure between Ray and Hope wasn’t so abrupt. I didn’t even realize that Hope was in love with Ray! This could have been introduced a lot better through flashbacks of their friendship and the build up towards her love for him. The relationship between Dan and Hope is very rocky due to Hope being defensive. This is good but I feel that it can be improved by including why Hope doesn’t seem to really trust men. If you ever need help with coding I can also help and give tips! Send me a DM if you’d like further assistance/advice.

This story is a 4/5 !

I wish you the best on your writing journey on episode ! <3

Hello!

It seems I have come across a glitch in your story! In trying to pass the first mini game in where I have to collect the snowflakes, it appears there must be an error in the code.

It tells me that I didn’t collect all the snowflakes after I have tapped them all. The last snowflake that I can’t tap is the one in the center of Rosalie.

I will be happy to finish reviewing your story if you can fix this glitch! Please inform me after so that I can continue your full review.
