^ wait like fr :joy::joy: i think my grammar sucks but thank you :grin:

^ considering i am a USA kid i think it’s how we talk :joy::joy: you’re knowledge is pretty spot on girlie

^ ikkkk i’m trying to make it not a cliche. like it has cliche aspects but i swear it means so much more :joy::joy:

^ thank youuuu this section means a lot because i wanted to try something different considering every episode takes place over the course of one hour. and they’re in the same place for 8 episodes. so i’m just really nervous on if i’m making it all interesting or not :persevere: so thank you so very much :joy:

^believe me. when i wrote her i cringed… hard! :joy::joy::joy: i hate the mean girl cliche aspect with a passion, but all of my characters have a deeper meaning and backstory to them so, believe me she’s not just a cliche or there to stir the pot i promise. there’s more to the mean girl personality then just what’s on the surface :grin::joy:

^ :smiling_face_with_three_hearts::smiling_face_with_three_hearts::smiling_face_with_three_hearts::smiling_face_with_three_hearts::smiling_face_with_three_hearts: thank you so much for that. it really made my heart melt :joy::joy: the relationship between the mc and the “bAy bOy” is a slow burn believe me :joy:

^ thank you for this note. i’ll be sure to make more action/impacting choices in future episodes. and i was considering making a point system but now that you mention it, i think i really should :grin:

^thank you so much for this review it really meant a lot! you brought up some excellent points that i’ll be sure to check back on in the future! thank you thank you thank you! this means so much! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts::star_struck:

Cover

Story: Grid Queen
Author: Daisy_stories
Genre: Drama
Episodes read: 3/5
CC: Yes, for both the MC and the LI. While, for the LI, the skin color doesn’t match the overlays (which I know can be fixed but it takes a lot of time and it’s a hassle) I do appreciate letting the readers know about this. Warnings always come a long way. (9/10)
Grammar: I really wanted to do something detailed for this section but…I don’t think I can. I couldn’t find any mistakes so either I’m blind, or you’re just really good at grammar. Trust me, I scanned every single line of dialogue to find spelling mistakes. Nothing. Nada. Good job! 10/10
Dialogue: It had a good, casual flow. Didn’t feel awkward and the text effects were placed in all the right moments. However, while this doesn’t take points away from the story, there is a part where a creep uses a Shrek-themed pickup line on a character. The MC talks about how bad it was. How dare you. That line is gold. I’m gay, but I would’ve gladly rode off into the sunset with that guy if he’d used that on me. Now, to anyone reading this review when this story asks you if you want to learn some racing terms, use that shit. Otherwise, some of the dialogue will make no sense to you. Fortunately, there are multiple chances where the author gives you the choice to get some info. If you don’t take it, it’s your funeral. 10/10
Plot: Very original! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a racing story before, especially with a girl at it’s center. I like that it took time to address the issues women go through when choosing this line of work, and it was very well handled. 10/10
Spacing: All episodes managed to find that balance between calm dialogue, with fast action scenes. Not much to say here. 10/10
Characters: I really liked this characters. Especially the MC. While the reader’s actions get to form her personality, you can really tell it’s there. She’s exactly what I see when I think of a “strong female character”. Not one of those “I’m gonna be an ass to everyone and use violence for everything because I think that’s what makes someone strong”, but she’s helpful, confident, and (what really stands out) ambitious and hard-working. You can see how dedicated she is, and how much passion she’s got for her job. Which can also be said for the other drivers. However, I do think there is a bit of a problem with the characters. Not based on who they are, but their relationship with others. In the first episode, the character talks about how one of the characters is her rival and they don’t like each other. That’s fine. But, throughout the story, they don’t really seem like rivals. Sure, there aren’t annoyed looks every now and then, but if you hadn’t explained that they were rivals- I would’ve swore they were friends or something. I have a similar problem with the LI. We know he misses the girl he had contact with all those years ago, and that he somehow feels he’s to blame for something that happened to her, but in every scene he’s in, he’s only focused on the MC. Nothing else. Even though he’s a very successful racer, she’s all he thinks about. Honestly, I was getting kinda worried for him. In future chapters, I’d advice showing focus on something else, or do something meaningful that doesn’t involve the MC. Make us see that he’s more than just the LI. (8.5/10)
**Direction:**WOW. Just wow. Some of the best I’ve seen, period. Especially in the mini games. I really don’t have anything to say here. 10/10.
Choices: All meaningful, all impactful. I’m glad there were so many choices, and so many things to do. Honestly, this feels like one of those stories you wanna play again,and again, and again just to see what happens if you picked something else. 10/10
Final Score: Okay so it gave me a 9,7 but I’m just gonna round that up to a 10/10. Amazing story.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do yourselves a favor and check this one out! It has less than 200 views. That’s criminal. This story deserves so much more than that. Daisy, I commemorate you for this work.

Story: Triple Threat: The Life Of An Assassin

By: Sapp & Epy.bhaddie

Genre: Romance/Drama

**Episodes:**2

CC: Kinda hard to notice. Considering CC takes up the entirety of the first chapter. To me, this feels kind of pointless. The reason we get to read the first episode of each story without wasting a pass is because that first episode is supposed to get readers hooked for the story, enough so they’re willing to waste a pass to read what happens next. If you dedicate a story for nothing more than CC, then I have no reason to read the rest. We know nothing about the plot, characters, or what’s supposed to happen other than what the summary gives us. All we get is a customization game. Nothing more. Not only that, but it’s not even full customization. At least not for the MC, who is the character most people are interested in customizing (other than, who I assume are the LI’s, but we know so little about them they could very well be extras). Why dedicate an entire episode for incomplete customization? Especially when so many other stories have customization at the beginning of the episode, and then start telling the story. In the same episode. I recommend moving the events of the second episode (which I’ll get into later) to the end of the first. (3/10)
Grammar: I was able to find some mistakes. However, they weren’t really noticeable or distracting. Mostly improper capitalization of “I” and no use of apostrophes. (7/10)
Dialogue: Mostly fine. Nothing really struck out (other than the excessive swearing. Which, as a person who swears as if I were being paid for it, didn’t mind much. However, keep in mind some readers might not like it and, most importantly, this might get you in trouble with Episode. I’m not gonna take points off because of this, but you should still keep it in mind). Some parts were really weird, though. Especially when the characters would say things like “LAJSOSHSLD”. Keyboard smashing really isn’t something that goes into screenwriting, since it’s technically not considered dialogue. Reading this part is especially distracting. When I did, it completely made me forget about the story and only focus on trying to find a way to sound a keyboard smash out. Also, it’s important to talk about the authors notes. Which I’m counting as dialogue as it’s essentialy used to talk with the reader. I really don’t understand why it’s necessary to have those author notes. All they did wasn’t make comments about “look at how cute the girl is!” Or “it’s ok, she eats really fast”. Shouldn’t the reader be able to figure that out for themselves, by simply reading the story. The readers don’t need the authors telling them what to think, or explaining things to them in the middle of the story. Remember; show, don’t tell. (4/10)
Plot: There really isn’t a plot to talk about, at least not in the only 2 episodes I read. Like I said before, the first chapter was only used for CC, so the story really starts in episode 2. However, episode 2 is really uneventful. Nothing happened. Sure, we met the main characters, but nothing actually happened with them. They just cooked dinner, talked, went to bed, and then a mysterious person arrived. That’s a good way of ending the episode, but it’s really lacking the beginning and middle part. Since we’ve got basically no information on these characters, other than one has a daughter and the other is her best friend, there really is no reason for us to care for them. Or the plot, for that matter. Also take into consideration people see that cover, read the summary, and see the “fire and bullets” intro, and expect an action packed story. Or at least one in which something remotely interesting happens. Cooking dinner and banter isn’t really interesting. At least not for a story about an assasin. (2/10).
Pacing: Like I said before, the intro promises much more than what the story provides. It’s got this fire and bullets but when it begins, it’s nothing but slow-paced domestic life. It really brought my mood down, fast. (2.5/10)
Characters: We dont know much about these characters. Actually, I’m pretty sure we know nothing about them apart from the fact they’re friends. What about their personalities? I understand not letting the reader know about their backstory, that usually comes later in the story. But you’ve got establish characters good enough to get the reader’s attention. Show that there’s more to their personality than just swearing and bantering. Otherwise, why care about them? They mean nothing to us if we don’t know who they are. Please, please, make sure you show who they are in later chapters. Because, right now, empty is the only word I can use to describe them. (2/10)
Direction: There were some mistakes, which were unfortunately kinda noticeable. Like when the MC tries to get the kid off the counter, it looks like she’s both on top of the best friend AND part of the counter. This could be fixed by simple layer fixes, but it’s still very hard to let that slide. Other than that, not much to say. I did like the bed scene, though. Those were some nice covers. (5/10)
Choices: Other than the customization at the beginning, there were no choices. You might want to include some in the next chapters. It’s called episode interactive for a reason. It helps the reader focus on the story. (1/10)
Final score: 3,5/10
You’re gonna want to review your script before writing any new chapters.

Title; I Made the Devil Cry
Author: Sebule
Genre: Fantasy
Style: Limelight
CC : N/A
Grammar: I found multiple errors, all spelling mistakes. Some sentences didn’t end in periods. You might want to take a second look at your script. Other than that, all good. (5/10)
Dialogue: Flowing and realistic. Especially between the two main characters. They’ve got a casual, fun dynamic that it’s really refreshing, especially during a war. I also really liked the narration, especially the “here are the rules” segments. (10/10)
Plot: While I do appreciate the “soldiers-in-war” plot, I would like to know more about the actual war. All we know is that it’s a war between two kingdoms that seem to be different from each other. But why are they fighting? What lead to this fight? We know they’re looking for a gem, but why is this gem so important? Why should we care what happens to it. Or the kingdom, for that matter? The secret to a good war story, especially one that focuses on soldiers, is for the reader to know why the war is being fought. To know what’s at stake if they win or loose. Otherwise, there really is no reason to care about it. (6/10)
Pacing: You really managed to find that balance between action-packed war scenes and slow, sentimental moments. Good job! (10/10)
Characters: The characters are great. They work off each other perfectly (especially the two main characters) and it’s good to see they’ve got similar, but still fleshed our personalities. I also liked that you went into the struggles of different soldiers in the war, like the MC’s lover. That was a really good take, and an amazing emotional focus for an MC whose job relies around rationale and violence. However, you gave one of the MCs a drug problem. Which is fine. It’s great, actually. If, and only if it’s done well. If you want her to be addicted, make her be addicted. Show her craving heroin like nothing else matters in the world. It’s her number 1 priority. Show the both physical and psychological effects of drug use. There are many documentaries on heroin that will help you with this (but only watch it if you’re 18+, or feel ready to watch them). (9/10)
Direction: The overlays were amazing, especially when it came to shooting scenes. Really good job! (10/10)
Choices: While there weren’t many choices per chapter, the ones that were there did stand out. I love stories that use the point system. It makes things more challenging, as it should be. (10/10)
Final score: (8.5/10)
