The Biggest Worm: SI/RE: Nute Gunray star wars Fanfic.

Description

I would like to note that this is a fanfic, star wars is owned by Disney and written by George Lucus... mostly...

Nor do I own any other references, euphamisims or anything else that has to do with copyrighted or trademarked material

I would like to add a content warning, slavery (And nute being a bad guy so he participates in it) lots of violence, EXPLOSIONS, off screen sex/sexual content, possibly offscreen rape or euphemism to such, and generally other 'adult' concepts in an adult world, also all individuals are 18+ especially when having sex, even if stated otherwise, because earth years don't necessarily translate... yeah...

Nute Gunray, professional kiss ass, pretty sure that's on his resume, traitorous worm who murdered his boss, and absolutely disposable piece the dark lord of the sith planned on getting rid of before he even acquired it.  Also, as of this moment me...

There are many different species and beings that exist in the star wars universe.  Humans are numerous but are above average in most areas, also kind of bland, but better than many things, like Hutts... most everything is better than Hutts... This may be a personal opinion though.  Then there is the ever common Twi'lek Ubiquitous with the star wars universe, and how I figured out where I was...  Or even the also relatively common but definitely more awesome Tagruta, a predatory species that has advanced reflexes and strength, at least compared to humans...  Then there is being a glorified hominid worm... sorry bug!...

Decided to right a OC RE SI.  Originally I was going to start with an AU RE SI OC hutt but changed that to Nute.  Using Disney as the base (Tho I haven't watched all of disney... nor am I a legends lore master...) because of continuity.  I am also using ALL of the videogames, because the movies and video games constitute t1 lore, from there legends, from there fanfic.  This is also OC because it goes off the rails quick as an RE.  I know people hate disney verse for it's choices but two things, legends contradicts itself, not even able to make up it's mind on basic things like kyber, and disney even put in at least 3 of the celestials, and probably abeloth too... so it's not completely terrible and has made some out there choices as even I think the celestials, at least the father daughter and son and mother are questionable (granted, if you add in the other 100 or so)... so...

There will be perspective shifts and viewpoints shifts, fp/tp/sp and so on...

    At first glance, this story promises a gritty, morally ambiguous sci-fi epic with a rather new premise. Although various comments do certainly warn of the grim and dark content like “Graphic Violence,” “Sensitive Content,” “Sexual Content,” slavery etc. These contents feel less like a stylistic tone and more like a shield for repeatedly dropping disturbing, unbalanced elements, many of the (side-)Protagonists choices result in often an jarring, exhausting, and hard to swallow story.
    I really do like the premise, and such a grimdark main character definitely deserves a 4.5/5, however the writing style majorly distracts from that for me. I personally value clarity, emotional depth, or nuance in characters, which is certainly lacking here. There’s rarely meaningful reflection, redemption, or even a sense of emotional weight to balance the atrocity.
    Disregarding the children Gunray eventually ends up ?adopting?.
    My main gripe with this story is definitely the style and grammar. The writing often shifts perspectives, time, and scenes abruptly, sometimes even in the same paragraph, making it difficult to follow the narrative flow. I had to backtrack several times to figure out what was happening, who was speaking and if they were external or internal dialogue. It sometimes even fails to give the grim content any narrative foundation, making it feel even more like the bleakness doesn’t seem to serve a deeper theme and just drags you through misery. There are also parts of the story which seem more like a rambling of text wall.
    The ?Several? SI/RE/OC characters also made it quite hard to follow the flow of the story, making following it even more of a task, but this did give a nice premise.
    Please don't make grimdark the only goal of this story. The darkness lingers, but not in a way that feels meaningful.
    And thanks for the chapters so far!

    I have attempted to read this book multiple times, but ultimately decided that it might be best to wait for a potential rewrite or revision. While the premise and ideas behind the story are intriguing, the execution currently makes it difficult to stay fully engaged. Below are some of the key issues I encountered during my attempts to read it:
    Timeline Clarity: One of the major issues is the lack of clear indicators when time passes between chapters or scenes. The narrative often jumps forward without sufficient cues, making it hard to follow the sequence of events. It becomes confusing to piece together a coherent timeline.
    Possible fix: Including dates at the start of chapters or providing clear markers when time skips ahead would help readers stay oriented.
    Distinguishing Thoughts from Dialogue: The writing does not provide enough separation between inner thoughts and spoken dialogue. This makes it hard to differentiate what characters are thinking versus what they are actually saying out loud.
    Possible fix: Using bold, italics, or a distinct formatting style for inner thoughts could greatly enhance readability.
    Point-of-View Shifts: Switching between characters’ perspectives within the same paragraph is jarring and disorienting.
    Possible fix: Changing POVs only at chapter breaks, or clearly labeling each shift (e.g., “Hugo’s POV”), would improve clarity.

    I was intrigued by the ideas in the blurb. And I wanted to like it. But it's just too hard to read. And I mean that literally. This is not the english language I learned in school.
    The basic idea is neat. Wake up as a rich Neimoidian on the wrong side of a conflict and try to change things while surviving. Good start, lot's of potential for interesting story lines. Conflict, how to survive Sidious, the coming war. Being rich, with lot's of avenues for making things better or worse depending on whose side you're on. Foreknowledge. Everything.
    But then it gets confusing, so much that I sometimes couldn't figure out what a sentence meant. This reads like a stream of consciousness from someone who's on coke or speed or something. Rambling, incoherent sentences with no regard for legibility or even what words mean.
    If this ever gets a rewrite or beta-ing I'll read it again. But for right now, this is too hard for me to continue.
