    The Dream Eater is an exceedingly unique tale where our MC finds himself trapped between the world of dreams and his past. He has a large destiny before him, but he has no idea what it is.
    Style: I think, by a huge amount, Style is the best part of this fiction. I think it will maybe turn into a love or hate situation because, by its very nature, it's intended to be a little... confusing. Aloof maybe? The main setting for the fiction, at least up to the chapter I've read, is the Realm of Dreams. And the writing style does a fantastic job of making it seem very dreamlike. I think the best way I can describe it is that it's similar to the feeling you get when you have a crazy dream and wake up. The details are right there at the tip of your fingers but for some reason, it's kind of floating away and you can't quite seem to grab ahold of it. I enjoyed that a lot, especially starting chapter 3. Honestly, I think a good example is the Imagination Realm thing from Shark boy and Lava girl lol
    Grammar: The story has clearly gone through revisions and been refined. Now, there are awkward sentence structures and tense issues here and there, but I think those will be solved by the time this story hits Rising Stars (which I hope it will!). Either way, nothing immersion-breaking. This is RR not GoodReads so all our fictions are bound to have a hiccup here or there, especially since we drop chapters multiple times per week.
    Character: Currently, I think this is perhaps the fiction's lowest score. Not necessarily because the characters are bad, but because it's hard to really understand a character or feel that they are properly fleshed out when the character has memory loss, lives in a dream realm, and I only read five chapters as of this review. Still, I think some more emotion to the characters would go a long way - I don't mean basic emotions but more introspection. And more description. I don't believe the MC's appearance or Keeper's appearance was described. Since the MC doe
