Smile... wrote:It's not cliche, it's just the writing style is... quite odd. Very very odd. It really doesn't even have a story feel, it feels more like something that came out of a history textbook. This is basically telling us the backdrop in one of the worst possible ways (sorry, but I need to be true here.). There are A TON of grammatical and spelling errors (It's "Sapphire," not "safire") and although the plot does seem interesting, you still lack other elements.
Another big problem I have is that you're mixing in modern day in this. I mean, MAKE UP YOUR MIND! Did they HAVE Avatar in that world? Was there DOODLE GOD? You have to put the perspective IN the world. You can't just reference things in our world or it'll completely RUIN the mood. This made for quite a bad start. And really? Using emoticons in the story? Ooh boy... you have quite a bit of work to do...
At difference of EB, I'll take this critic for the better. Something that was confusing (and I must admit it was very confusing) is how is narrated. My point is, at the beggining it's a bit clear but then that's lost, is that the narrator NOW is just the author, it was an experiment that actually seemed to go wrong, what I've should done was just starting all from the first person, and the prologue is the very beggining, were the I talk of reality, and a custom world. The description of the world will be put disimulated as the character narrates (the rest of the story is narrated in first person by the main character). I'm aware of the grammar, but since most is going to disapear, I don't care right now.
The real story willo start soon, I just need to make up my mind and make a GOOD beggining and not screw it up like in EB, wich again, had a good plot(that's never gonna be revealed), but the beggining sucked, and so did the story.
Thanks for the review-
