  ★★★ 3.0

  Kay, been some time since I last reviewed anything. This story seems to not have been updated for a long time, but let's look through it regardless.
  PES: 0/10
  Okay, there's more than one reason for such a low 'Personal Enjoyment Score' on this one.
  First, the story description doesn't match the content. We're hinted that we'll be reading some sci-fic / fantasy novel on a grand scale, but we get a Five Nights at Freddy's fanfiction. Don't get me wrong I have nothing against a good fanfiction in general, but not only do I tend to not read fanfics, I wasn't even told I would be reading one before I started the novel!
  Then, the second major reason for my low score would be the first chapter. I get that, as the author pointed out in Ch1's comments, he wrote it when he was 12. However, posting it as-was, without any edits or proofreading, will deter 90% of readers immediately. Sure Ch2 starts with a much higher level of grammar and style than Ch1 but so what if most people had clicked off the story by then?
  Finally, while I do see potential in the way the story is told - and I even like the MC - what's actually executed in the chapters is... Well. On one hand it's kinda boring for me early on since I do know the plot of Five Nights at Freddy's, while later on it's... How should I say it? As if someone with linguistic skill of an above-average student but with the mind of a 12-year-old tried coming up with a 'cool, fun, and thought-provoking' plot for a novel.
  In other words, the plot doesn't really mesh well enough to keep my interest. The events are a bit all over the place, while the world setting is vague at best - apart from being related to Five Night's at Freddy's.

  Anyway, if someone's looking for a quick read related to Five Night's at Freddys, I would recommend this little novel. Otherwise, it would require author to return to it and work on the fine details for it to be worth reading on its own merits.
