Annieway's Review

First impression
The story seems to be interesting and the description makes me think it’s a good fit for mystery.

Characters
Marbel is adorable, I hope she won’t turn into a popular “bad girl” throughout the story (please!). I usually like bad boys yes, I said it but honestly, I think Damien is a little too much. I know he is supposed to be intimidating, but he does those primp and wink animations all the time and I found it creepy :sweat_smile:
I liked most of the characters though and I love how diverse they are.

Plot
The plot is really nice and well-written. The pacing is great and the dialogues keep the story moving. Some things were quite predictable to me, but I still enjoyed reading it.

Directing
Your directing is great and the overlays are awesome. I see that you know exactly what you’re doing and I like how you pay attention to details.

Overall
I’ve read only the first 3 episodes but I will continue sometime to find out more about the mystery of the necklace and the fallen angels. Good job so far!

Thank you to @Annieways for this review.

My Review:

OK, so I checked out your story and I loved your intro. Fab use of overlays.

“She is SHY and NERDY, so take it into account when changing her look” Hmm, I would not include this part. First, you’re telling the reader what she is like instead of showing and someone who is shy as well as very smart can have any look.

When they’re talking in the classroom, the speechbubble covers their faces. It was distracting to see Helena and Marbel talk when the bubble covered most of them so I recommend positioning it lower with the tail facing the right direction.

The classroom background was really nice and I loved the word “supernatural” behind them. IDK why, I just loved it.

Ms. Bell (described as boring) so reminds me of a Ms. Bell in real life. She was so rude and cruel!

Marbel likes math? Well, that’s rare!

Mr. Higgins “Great! The Second World War is a good example of how math can save lives in real life!” <- add the word of before the word how .

Sure, math is useful when we’re being taught taxes, but a quadratic formula?

Lizbeth is just jealous we’re smart XD

Marbel: “They thought that the code was unbreakable.” <- it would sound smoother to write code instead of coding (and you already mentioned the word coding previously, so it sounds a bit strange.)

You put commas where they shouldn’t have been so it sounded a little awkward sometimes. For example, when Marbel is talking about the British mathematician Alan Turing, there shouldn’t be commas in that sentence.

Give him a bad boy look…haha, I left customizing him LOL

Marbel: “He doesn’t wear a uniform” <- a instead of the

I love how they’re just judging and pounding into him based on his appearance (saying how he’s a bad boy and that there’s something disturbing about him as well as the fact that he means BIG trouble).

…OK, nevermind, they’re def fortune tellers. They predicted he was so rude. The way he yelled at that poor guy to leave so he could be next to Marbel. Grr, I hope she uses the necklace on him and teaches the douche a lesson!

The blush overlay was cool.

“crawl under a rock” <- You wrote “some rock”, it doesn’t sound too bad when I say it but “a rock” is more common.

I stole the book and got caught XD

The necklace is very beautiful and I loved the choices that you gave the reader. They were very interactive and wonderful.

Overall, it was a nice read. Yes, the new mysterious guy was really creepy but other than that, it was a very fun read with amazing directing, amazing dialogue and amazing scenes. Keep up the fantastic work! :cupid: :cupcake:

How my character Marbel looks:
