Story Reviews! (Honest Feedback)

Hi! I’m Abbie, I’m training to be a copy editor and proof reader and I’d love to read your stories! I’ll read however many chapters you’d like me to read (max of 8) and I’ll give you constructive criticism and feedback on your story. I will talk to you about your cover art, choices, storyline and characters.
Just tell me the name of your story and, if it’s not published, send me a link. My top five review requests I will post recommendations to!

EDIT—Okay guys, I’m really sorry but my work’s been really difficult lately and I’ve only mamnaged two reviews so far. I can’t really manage two things at once, so I think I’ll temporarily close this thread for now until my rush at work’s died down. Really sorry to those on my waiting list! I’ll try to open again soon!

NEUES%20COVER
NEUES COVER.png900x638 333 KB

For the cover art, I really like both of them. But I feel like the two styles of the large one and the small one don’t really go together. I think it would be best to pick one style and have them both done in similar styles. But you can do whatever you like with your cover art, so you choose. Now, on with the story!

NEGATIVES -
It might be a good idea to jump into things more at the beginning, it’s a little slow.

  • This is just me being picky here, but when you’re doing “This story uses sound” and “choices matter”, is it possible to make the writing fade in and out faster?
  • In the eyesight test, perhaps you could be more specific about two things: that you shouldn’t type spaces between the letters, and instead of saying “what letters am I pointing to on this line”, just put “what letters are on this line” so that the reader knows they don’t have to just type the first letter.
  • I don’t know how far apart in age Ashlynn and Jasper are, or if Ashlynn is super-short, but I feel like Ashlynn and Jasper should be closer in height. If Ashlynn is just short or they’re far apart in age, please correct me.
  • I like how you get to do your hair and makeup for the exam, but afterwards they reset to the original, and not how you customised it at the very start. Why don’t you put something like “I asked you to do lipstick and hair for the exam. I’m now going to ask you to choose the lip color and hairstyle you had before… or you can even pick a new one if you want!” and then put the template for choosing hairstyle and lip color.
  • I would like if you could chose your outfit for the date

POSITIVES -

  • Firstly, I really liked all the fading effects. It’s these little things that make the stories nicer to read!
  • Major points for all the details. Most writers just get on with the plot but you added in tiny details to make it more interesting for the reader.
  • I liked the little intro to the character, and the overlay of the phone hitting Wilson xD . <3 the effect when Rick is drunk and all the lines are distorted! That’s really clever. In fact, could you tell me how to do that? Also, when Wilson hugs Ashlynn in the first episode, how do you do that? Are the arms an overlay?
  • It’s pretty awesome how you did the exam with the things Ashlynn had to remember.
  • I LOVE the artwork in the first episode, who did that for you?
  • I really like how you took care to get a phone background and text bubbles created.
  • Really good music and sounds

MISTAKES -

  • When Rick says “fifteen minutes past by” in the first episode it’s actually “passed”.
  • When Ashlynn says “mechanics” she doesn’t do an animation

OVERALL -
This was a really good and original story. You’re a skilled writer!

Thank you so much for your honesty, I’ll keep all your tips in mind!
And as for the hug— I just copy and pasted limbs then made them into overlays :slight_smile:
For the drunk animation I just blurred the image and set it’s overlay opacity to .5 :joy:

Review on:
OBLIVIOUS by The Saminator

Cover Art and Splashes -

  • nice cover, I would normally say it was basic but it really fits with the genre and theme, and the facial expressions are just… xD

Effects -

  • nice zooming effects

Characters -

  • I like how much alike Leanna and Kai are
  • Well-thought-out personalities
  • The character Abigail is hilarious. Love her xD
  • Contrasting characters

X - When Leanna first explains that she’s getting adopted, she doesn’t speak as though it’s a big deal, when she’s incredibly shy and awkward. Maybe there could be a kind of “I’M FREAKING OUT” speech?

Plot -

  • charming and hilarious plot that all fits perfectly together

Choices -

  • I like the amount of choices
  • A good many options for the dressing games

Spelling and Grammar - All good

Overall I could barely find mistakes with this story. It fits perfectly with the genre and I will definitely be recommending it in one of my posts!
