I don’t think it’s the worst ( that title goes to whoops I’m pregnant​:laughing:) but I just want to point out a story which has millions of reads. And I don’t want to talk about the plot or characters, but about the technical issues. It was so hard to get through the story, it was so technically bad. Grammar - nope, punctuations? Never heard of them. It’s hard to understand the meaning when there are no commas in long sentences AT ALL. Or “I” is not capitalised,neverrr. It’s just lazy. So a lot of times you just have to stare at a sentence for a minute to understand it.:unamused:
Speechbubbles are a messsss. It is not hard at all to place a speechbubble. I mean yeah, just a little harder than putting a comma,so maybe I’m asking for too much. But I just want to look at the screen and understand who’s talking, that’s all.
No spot directing. Ppl just walk on furniture.
Next. Normally you pan vertically (from legs and up ,to reveal the face), when there is a revealing moment or an important character is introduced for the first time.
You really don’t have to use it every time someone enters the screen in every episode. Omg, it is a challenge to sit through an episode where 30% of the time I have to wait until this unnecessary zoom is over🤦🏻‍♀️.
This story has millions of reads. And yet the author doesn’t even bother to improve her directing. All I’m gonna say is, where are your standards,guys? :woman_facepalming:t2::woman_facepalming:t2: We should give reads to stories, in which you can tell that authors preview them at least once, and not THIS.

I hope we are talking about the same story, but yeah. I noticed these problems, and I don’t understand how does the author has MILLIONS OF READS?! When I started reading that story, I left it really soon. The missing punctuations really annoyed me, especially that she was not bothered to CAPITALIZE the word “I” . Yes, these may be tiny mistakes, but it can make the story look “amateour” .

You’re right, btw I love your profile art, did you make it

Hi, I understand that you haven’t always been satisfied with some authors stories but as I have experienced what it is like to sit down for hours constantly coding and coding, I honestly don’t think it’s fair to put authors names out there saying their stories aren’t good. It takes a lot of effort to code and some people learn how to code just to make a story for you to enjoy.
Hope you all have a good day!:cupid:

Yep, you’re completely right. Some comments here almost make it seem like authors with a lot of reads don’t deserve the reads because they missed some punctuation. Which I do agree that grammar and punctuation is really important. But that’s kind of rude, it’s not going to be perfect especially when you first start.

Exactly, well said. Although I’m currently making a story and I’m obsessed with the grammar and punctuation :sweat_smile:

My English teacher instilled a fear of punctuation and grammar into all of his students heads so now I have to re read my script over and over :joy:
