Alex and Theodore by scarlettlantsov
What I loved: I love how raw and good this story is. It's just such a treat that I feel blessed just by reading this. It tells the story of people trying to find themselves all the while drowning with the comparison to other people. Look, there are a lot of themes being discussed in this story and I felt them all because that's just how good this story is. ;-; Characterization is on point as well as narration and prose skill. I am just deeply in awe at this story at how it's so good technical-wise and plot-wise. It's just...so perfect ;-;
What didn't work: Nothing. Like I said, it's perfect.
What needs improvement: Some minor, minor nitpick is maybe...have smaller chunks of paragraphs? But like, this is the perfect example of knowing all the rules of prose and breaking them all at the same time so maybe even that paragraph breaking isn't the right advice for this story but yeah. It didn't trip me up in reading because of how good the contents of said paragraphs were but yeah, it did intimidate me a sheer amount. xD
Final verdict: This is a perfect 10/10 on my scale. From the characters, the plot, the narrative style, the pacing, the themes, the symbolisms, and basically everything else. This story is so good. uwu. I love, love, love it and you might have just gained a fan in me, Scarlett. Keep writing and keep honing that writing muscle because you seriously can flex. ^-^
