  ★★★★ 4.0

  Funny and meta. This one is for the long time readers of web fiction.
  It is amazing how many fictions with spirit worth gold get neglected in favour of polished pieces of stones.
  This story to me is gold. In the way that I will favour a worn but beloved childhood toy over the fancy disney merch.
  The grammar is poor, but it works in 'story'. Very stylish with a careful command of voice comming through strongly. The low rating I can only guess comes from the far too serious or from those who fail to grasp the fiction for what it is.
  Apologies for the serious review. Tis a habit :)

  ★★★★ 3.5

  I gave The Author Is Insane 3.5 stars because the creativity is undeniable, it’s meta, experimental, and full of voice. The grammar and structure aren’t polished, but it feels like that’s part of the design: a bold stylistic choice rather than oversight. It’s like a passionate rough draft spilled straight from a wild imagination. I admire the spirit, even if the format makes it a challenge to follow.

  ★★★ 3.0

  So, yeah. It's very interesting, i'd say.
  The story itself,what it could be and what it is currently is amazing, the author talking to you about cliches in the progression fantasy and romance categories, and the idea that the author is also insane is good. I have never seen an idea like that, ever. It has a lot of potential, and if really like to see where the author could go with it.
  On the other hand, the grammar is off, as well as sentence structure. No sentence has any business being that long, there are places where you can put a period periodically for a bit of variety at least.
  The main character, the author, is very bland compared to what he character could have been, but it nails the crazy pretty well i guess.
  Yea, I'm pretty sure style is how the story is written, sentence structures and stuff, so what I said above. I see amazing potential for a story like this, and if The Author got an editor, or revised his chapters it could be amazing. I actually liked it, but I'm going for more of a technical review I guess.
