- Rubble97Royal Road★★★★★ 5.0It's only play style, I've read books with this sort of style on Amazon- the story mainly gets told through character dialogue. There aren't many people who do it this way since it tends to confuse the audience sometimes whether you're writing a book or a play but that doesn't make it bad, just not standard. people change when they grow accustomed to something different. Idgafudge because I liked it.
- AyatoRahXephonRoyal Road★★★★★ 4.5so theres some spelling mistakes every now and then and sometimes the stories pacing seems a little wierd i can say i binged it so far in one sitting and im looking forward to more. Also the way the author handles multiple people/ perspectives can be a odd/confusing choice at timesbut so far im enjoying it and if you got the time give it a shot.
- AndrewRLRoyal Road★★★ 3.0I'll be upfront and say I do like the story concept, but it has a huge amount of problems weighing it down. This review will likely be heavy on the spoilers, as I'm gong to be discussing many of the arcs as of chapter 181, but I'll do my best to put everything in tags. With that out of the way, I'll move on to the actual review.
Grammar: Starting with grammar, it's passible, occasional typos per chapter but nothing excessively bad and so it gets a 3.5/5
Style: This is a major negative for the novel for multiple reasons. The sentence structures, ridiculous amounts of pov switches, overall reading flow, excessive overexplaining of situations, and "play like" writing structure frequently make it feel like you're reading the outline for the story the author actually wants to write, except the outline in this case is about 4 times the size of the actually plot relevant details of the novel.
By "play like" I mean dialogue going like this:
Noel: "This is my dialogue, I am talking"
Ian: "This is my dialogue, I am a different character"
Finally, the author for some reason randomly bolds certain characters' lines of dialogue for no discernible reason since no actual emphasis is placed on the words, and by lines I do mean entire sentences of dialogue. They also use {curly braces} to indicated internal dialogue, but for some reason only for the main character Noel. Both of these were bad choices, The bolded text could be entirely removed and internal dialogue could be portrayed with italics or some other less intrusive way.
I'll be going over more of how the writing style affects the story when actually discussing the story though.
Story:
The idea for the story is interesting, but the actual core of the story isn't being focused on the vast majority of the time and so you find yourself skimming vast portions of each chapter to get some actually progression. There is also one arc which contributes actually nothing to the plot and could without any exaggeration be completely remo
