1in100Authors chapter 1 . 8/28/2015 I think this has got to be your best out of all the stories I'm actually allowed to read, so no criticism on this one. Heck, I don't think I've ever reviewed your other ones, so I'll do that here too: THIS IS A LONG RANT THAT SHOULD BE READ ONLY IF RECIPIENT WISHES TO BECOME A PROFESSIONAL WRITER SOMETIME IN THEIR LIVES. (And relax, it's not going to be super mean and all "I hate this work 'cuz it's garbage lololol") Look, this is entirely my own opinion - I'm not some professional writer (yet) and I've only just begun to really care about writing - but I think that you're getting lost in your own fantasies. Basically, you read (or watch) something about one or more characters that you love and you wish to be more like and suddenly you're putting them on a pedestal. Suddenly the characters aren't who they were originally or are like version 2.0 of the original character - improved, better people, less realistic - and they lose what makes them human. Heck, they may even be turned into gods with unlimited amounts of power and they just need to realize how to activate them! I wouldn't call them Mary Sues (or, at least, not on their own) because if the problems are extremely difficult, then it's okay. And not even the difficulty of the problem on its own can save the story - the problem has to take time to solve, and little obstacles must be put in the way. To make the story even better, it would be nice to come up with the "final" solution, only for it to bring up an even bigger problem - casual readers hate this, but real critics love them. Internal and external conflict should be included. Oh, and the characters cannot always make the right decisions. Character improvement must be spread over a long period of time and should start very, very slowly. I've done it a million times, have seen it a million times, and have dealt with it a million times... and I think it's a shame because you come up with these amazing concepts and ideas that not many people have thought of before. My point is is that you have to balance it out. I just think that the problems in your stories (not this one. This one's awesome.) come with rather simple solutions and the people come with these amazing traits that just don't stick to the character. For example: Kagome's nice and she's educated, but she's also not extremely smart - just studious. She's also extremely talkative and too trusting, but at the same time it makes her motherly instincts amazing and makes her extremely amiable. I think you focus too much on her good traits - which makes you a great person, but puts a slight damper on your character development because there's pretty much no need for actual development. Sesshomaru's an aristocrat who is in no way chatty, and he's always cold to people because he doesn't care about them. However, he's also honest to himself and he is capable of compassion. As an aristocrat, it's expected for him to analyze his opponents - but only the more difficult ones. If he is to have a relationship with someone like Kagome - who is clumsy, talkative and not at all a warrior - then he can't be seeing something special in her until he actually spends a lot of time with her and is able to look past her lack of control. He can't immediately pay attention to her, and so she shouldn't ever appear in his thoughts as 'Kagome' until she does something to catch his attention. Though he is a dog demon, he hasn't shown many characteristics of one personality-wise and it's been shown that he doesn't really care - thus canceling out the whole 'curiosity' thing. Therefore, any relationship between the two must be slow in coming unless something in the plot irrevocably changes him and he is forced into some serious revelations. I really hate being 'that person' that criticizes - I really do - but people here usually give thoughtless reviews that boost people's egos and have no substance behind them. Please send me a reply to rate my constructive criticism from 1-10 and please, please, please don't hate me for this because I really do love your ideas and I really do think you could become a really great author. (That's kinda why I took the time to post this. I don't do this to people without potential - total waste of time, if you ask me.) I know you hate it when people send guest reviews like this, so despite my mortification at planting possible proof that I have watched some form of anime before - I have a certain type of reputation to uphold, after all - I obliged in hopes of being hated less. This is not a flame and I hope you never see it like that. |
Tristi Lynne chapter 1 . 1/23/2015 lol that was priceless! loved it. |
petites sorcieres chapter 1 . 12/25/2014 OMG that was both hilarious and fantastic. I really liked the prank. I wasn't sure how the trick would go before you explained the idea, so I was a bit worried, I wouldn't be much convinced ( not that it would deter me from the story xD) but this ? this was perfection. I loved it. omg. And I really liked that Sesshoumaru knew haha Thank you for making me smile so much! |

Amber chapter 1 . 8/18/2013 Oh I laughed so hard at this! Are you going to do a sequel for April Fool's day or I am reading too much into that last line? Either way it was funny as crap and I really want to see what kind of craziness Kagome would do for April Fool's! Though I also kind of want to see her get pranked back too! Oh or Sessh try to prank everyone because something tells me he'd be the best pranker of the lot with that stoic face of his! |
