Review Blitz 2021

[kintsugi]

Crawling into Review Blitz with last minute entries...

As I noted with Neb a while back, I was looking to participate in Review Blitz, and hopefully this will help me actually get writing reviews, rather than not! For now, looks like a goal of one review a week isn't too far from the truth, but I'll take any review I write that I can get.

Finally got Catnip! Was again last X (, but not the extreme solo outlier for once... to revisit this properly next week!
Probably barely over 250w.
First review on this fic.
First chapter response on PMD: Rebirth, by Shadow of Antioch.

Pokémon - Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rebirth

The primeval Lords have fallen. The new Gods are powerless to stave off the Empire's collapse. Amidst a wave of devastating portal storms, and with barbarian invaders threatening to turn its ancient lands into ash, a Charmeleon with no recollection of his past is hurled into a scheme far...

And another response, also for chapter 1, for LukeSkyRunner's Roads of Life.
Definitely over 250w, but no time to remove quotes to count.
First review on this fic.

Pokémon - Roads of Life

Summary A boy from Pallet Town named June Koven goes on his pokémon journey in search of a better life for himself. Dealing with battle strategies and mental stability alike, How will things turn out for him?

Made a really large review for Namo's "Hands of Creation", reviewing 8 chapters. I counted 2072 words for this review, so it should be 2072 / 250, which equals 8.2, rounding it up, 8 points. However, I had already reviewed his fic on FFN, you can check my reviews there with this link. Therefore, following this week's theme, I get one extra point, adding a total of 9. Adding 9 to my previous score of 18, I should have 27 points now, but like before, feel free to correct me.
By the way, I decided to screenshot my previews reviews on FFN, as a way to have another proof that this wasn't my first review. Not sure if the photo was necessary, but I just wanted to make it clear enough, look here:

I did a review.

I think this only counts for one point because one total chapter, but because it has to be split into two posts due to length, maybe it counts for two? Unsure. Update: Sugi says this counts as two. So, claiming 2 points. 760 words.

(Unfair!)

Pokémon - the envy of eden

"Pokémon never tell lies," N said outside of Mistralton, days before he summoned the ancient dragon and changed the world. Unovan historians have come to agree that this statement marked the turning point of the Pokémon Liberation Movement. And in this regard, it is also agreed that N was...

Honestly I just wrote this to write it...

(After Pens grand sweep of thirty fics in one shot... yeah... I'm not winning top spot and more than content just to play to play and get some quality reading in)

As thanks for borrowing one of my bit characters and using him so well I reviewed
