Here are some of my points and advice.

-I really enjoyed your dialogue and narration. It was almost like a book with all the thought or details.

-however, some overalys like the first “recording” overlay need to be adjusted. I would recommend zooming on closer so the recording overlay borders the screen like a real recording.

-I would also try out custom backgrounds, you can look at pinterest for cool backgrounds that can make your story look flawless. You can simply use Microsoft pain to resize the photo to requirements or preview on Mac from the tools tab.

-you should pick a point of view. And what I mean by this is; don’t use the narration bar for thoughts or other characters. Only the main character. I usually only use the narrator bubble for details, explanations, or character thoughts when they aren’t in the scene.
You can add thought bubbles by simply putting ( ) around the setences, example:

MARK (idle_think)
(She really smells like lettuce)

And that will make your dialogue into a thought bubble.

-I would also recommend using more zooming. It adds professionalism. (Zoom on faces when they’re talking etc.) but not too frequently.

-you did great on spot placement and animations. Those are always the most tedious to do.

-I love your character outfits. Mermaids looked so cute.

-lastly, I would recommend changing the cover. Covers work like thumbnails and will attract readers. Adding an attractive male, female, or both with surely invite others. Usually people use episode designed characters for their cover art but you can use different designs. You can find threads on here of people doing free cover art. They’re really good at it.
I think your cover art is lovely, it just lacks things that people usually look for, (romance, attraction, and contrast)

I hope this helped!
I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings if I did, I was being as helpful as possible. I think your story line is so cute and with the right editing this could be a great success on episode.

Thanks again <3

I think it was amazing as you really got personal with the reader in a nice way of course.
You could be more experimental with zooming.

@ZADDY Thank you for your honest review it was very helpful. I usually do the art myself, I have nothing against other people making my cover but I I just like to show my art. I’m constantly changing the cover. Here is the original cover that I had.IMG_20180525_084321_574

You didn’t hurt my feelings by the way.
