Next goal: Catching up on Land of the Roses Almost there! Base: 3 Weekly: 4 Words: >500, 3 Total: 10 Grand total: 287

(4~6) I’ll echo Kint’s thoughts on a few of these chapters—this feels like one elaborate test for Andrea and part of an extended interview. I mean, that’s more or less what I thought the moment they asked her to come along with them as some kind of unpaid intern, but it was still curious that...

All caught up with Seiren! Base: 3 Weekly: 4 Words: >800, 3 Total: 10 Running: 277

(8-10) I ended up reading all three of these chapters at once, which, at the time, made me completely caught up with what’s been posted to TR! I think I actually have something more useful and constructive this time around, now that I’m entirely caught up, too. First: I think Akai got exposed...

Catching up on Seiren... Base: 3 Weekly: 4 Words: >600, 3 Total: 10 Running: 267

(6, 7) I don’t have a lot to comment on for these two chapters in terms of specific scenes so much as key moments. First off, most of the exchange between Shirlee and Akai, and particularly his phone, both went on for a while but didn’t really give off the impression of dragging, at least not...

Okay here we go. Two more to top off the week! Broken Things Base: 3 Weekly: 4 Words: >300, 2 Total: 9 The Origin of Storms (all caught up on TR!) Base: 3 Weekly: 4 Words: >600, 3 Total: 10 Running total: 257

(11, 12) And now I’m all caught up with this story on TR! As of now, at least. I’d like to point out that Karo is a funny one to meet—I think I forgot to mention this in my last review, but he’s a nice dose of comedy that I think was really needed in this story so it’s not too heavy. I think...

(Chapter 2) Coming back to this, I'm kind of surprised that we're only one chapter in and we've already switched perspectives... in a story that's in second person. I still hold by the fact that this is an extraordinarily weird design choice. I guess that's all I can really say about it since...

Getting a few in now and hopefully a few in after I wake up, but... Another for The Origin of Storms Base 3 Weekly 4 Words >600, 3 Total: 10 And for Seiren again Base 3 Weekly 4 Words >600, 3 Total: 10 Running total: 238

(7 ~ 10) And a change of pace we had! I don’t really know where to begin with this one, so I guess I’ll just start with what happened right after this—so, a human! An actual human! To be honest, I’m kind of surprised at how muted this scene was, all things considered. You’d think the reaction...

(chapter 3 ~ 5) Ahhh, and HERE we go with the creeping madness. I think I see what you’re doing here. Start things off subtle and show that Akai isn’t totally insane at first and has at least some brief bouts of lucidity to go with. But then we’re a few more chapters in, and suddenly bam, there...

Continuing the trend, we've got another for The Origin of Storms Base: 3 Weekly: 4 Words: >700, +3 Total: 10 And then, of course, I've also returned to Seiren Base: 3 Weekly: 4 Words: >500, +3 Total: 10 Running total: 218

(Chapter 2) Okay so I still want to pet Akai, but he’s definitely a little bit on the weird side. I sort of got the vibes early on, but they were never really strongly or fully out front until now how obsessive he truly was over Helix, let alone his “ritual room” or the, uh, his buddies in...

(Chapters 4 ~ 6) These ones were pretty well connected (and a pretty irritating cliffhanger in the middle of a scene, by the way—I’ve got other things I need to do that I can’t get to it right now!!) that left me easily flowing from one chapter to the next. For being such a lowkey story so far...

Thanks for the feedback again, Adam! Glad you're enjoying yourself and the story's picking up for you. Chapter 20 – Blade and Fist Large mounds of dirt moved on their own, floating in the air. Little particles fell to the ground, collecting near the bottom of this forcefield. The evening sun...

Clearing up the last of my list before the switch to next week... I finally got to Salvage! Base: 3 Weekly: 4 Words: >200, +2 Total: 9 Bad Idea was also a fun little drabble. Base: 3 Weekly: 4 Words: >300, +2 Total: 9 And finally, Damaged Goods. God, we need another Orre game. Base: 3 Weekly...

AAAAAH! Orre! Orre! ORRE! Okay, excitement over, let’s actually take a look at what we’re doing here. So, Wes, Shadow Quilava, I think it was a good choice to just quietly ignore that Makuhita for the time being since Quilava has more symbolism as, you know a starter Pokémon. I also really...

Short story, short review, but I'll just say that in an effort to keep things absolutely focused on a single scene--surely this entire series of events didn't last longer than small handful of minutes--you managed to allude to little glimpses of Karo's personality, and even a bit of world...

(Chapter 1) Alright, time to finally take a look at this! The first thing that comes to mind when reading the first chapter, which kind of feels like a prologue with how distant the prose feels, is that while the actual prose is really nice, I think the distance and intentional vagueness of...
