Back at it again with another review! I’m technically all caught up on Path of Valor, but for the most part I’ll keep my analysis strictly to chapter two. The first chapter was primarily from Yuna’s perspective, so it was interesting that this chapter changes POV quite a bit more. Characters...

There's a thin line between love and hate, and you're teetering dangerously on it right now, bucko. Classic cold war tactics. And yet, no discussions on immigration policy or decisions made regarding dreamers. Suspicious. If I didn't know better, I'd say this article was biased--clearly...

Don't worry, I'll go slow. :') Even though this is short, I'm impressed by how alien yet unique the voices of the three pokemon feel while still clearly communicating their opinions on N. A lot is said in a very sparse amount of words. They all have their own internal rhythm and slang that...

The decision to limit yourself to (exactly?) 1K words is an interesting exercise. While I'll always appreciate economy in word choice, perhaps you could be a little less stringent next time? Sometimes the prose felt a little too bare bones, forced to work in broad strokes so you could hit your...

And I’m back! I’ll be reviewing chapters 2-5. The most interesting mystery presented throughout these four chapters seems to be Lyco. From not having a name in the directory to the way she ruthlessly asserts dominance over everyone--both Raskin and Sid as well as Tyler--she comes across as a...

Hello again, Namo! I have returned after finishing the entire short story. It was a lot of fun. Let’s dig in: I had a hard time picturing them in the ocean from this description. When I think of what the word seeped means, I think of someone slowly getting wet. Such as, ‘the water seeped...

Wow, haha. Imagine reading this months ago and never bothering to leave another comment. Couldn’t be me. Honestly, it was in part because I’ve had a hard time drawing up the energy to write reviews, but also partly because it was hard for me to think of anything to say beyond ‘good story pls...

Henlo, Amby! I read chapter one a while back, but life made reviewing things tricky in general around that time. Glad I get to rectify the situation. :) Interesting that we mention Yuna’s use of sleep seeds to open the chapter. I could see that coming into play somehow down the line. She’s...

This was such a cute short! I loved all the little character moments. I’ve always been a big fan of the partner in explorers. It makes me happy when their background is explored further. And the names coupled with all the cat pokemon totally gave me Warriors vibes. I’m always down for that. Do...

Thanks for the review! Perfectly understandable, so no worries. Yeah, I wanted to push myself outside my comfort zone by attempting 3rd omniscient, but as you can see, I... struggled. A very good learning experience, though. Kecleon was my favorite too, and he's the stealth main protagonist...

Ah, thanks for sharing your thoughts! Always appreciated. You always manage to find the one paragraph that gave me the most trouble in my short stories, lol. I must've rewritten this segment like three or four times. I'll see what I can do to clarify it, and the other prose suggestions have...

I remember reading this oneshot months ago. I meant to leave a comment then, but didn’t. I have no excuse. Still! Better late than never. The thing that always stood out to me the most was the relationship between Poppy and Lavender. It takes such a sharp turn from so many partner-hero...

This popped up on the front page, and I decided to read it since it was short. Since it was old, I hadn't planned on saying anything, but then I was like, eh, why not. A lot of what I might've pointed out has already been noted, so I'll just stick to a couple brief observations: First, I like...

I took a pretty different tack with this review, myself. If I only focused on the story itself in a vacuum, I probably would've just gushed for 1k words haha. I had fun too! There's something innately enjoyable about sitting down and analyzing well-written stories, as well as pinpointing...
