Reviews of Wattpad's Relatively Unknown

A Basic Introduction

So a few things I'd like to get out of the way before we begin on this little...whatever it will be. In case you hadn't noticed from seeing my profile description, assuming you did, I can be a bit long winded. Both in what I have to say and just how I draw things out. So please bare with me, or don't. Really up to you I suppose. I just hope you enjoy reading this as much as I'll enjoy writing it. 

I should probably also mention that the works I'm reviewing will likely have something to do with Anime or Fanfiction. Yes, I'm a fan of both, but really I enjoy reading any form of story-writing so long as it is done well. My favorite genre, much to my surprise even, is Slice of Life. Fun fact I suppose.

On an added note: this conglomerate of reviews, that I'm hoping with eventually amass over time, will...never be done. No, I don't intend on ceasing in adding more and more reviews to this list, for a good number of reasons. So, even if I seem out of touch and too distanced from my work, know that it's never my attention to abandon my post without warning. 

But I digress! On to the more important...things. Yes, the format that I'll be writing these reviews in. I try to stay consistent when I can. And, by the way, you're more than welcome to skip this and head straight on to the next chapter, where there will be an actual review. But if you decide to stick around, good for you. You get to hear me ramble for another ten or so minutes.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Basically, the format will be as seen below:

Summary Introduction: Both Story and Author

---Plot Summary/Synopsis (Brief)

---Potential Prerequisites (Is it necessary to read/watch the original series if Fanfiction, basic knowledge of setting, etc.)

---Is Story Incomplete or Ongoing

Thought and Ideas On:

---Presentation and Flow

---Author's Writing Style

---Characters

 Specifics: Categorical

---Did Characters Feel Real? Why or Why Not?

---Predictability or Lack of Such?

---Were Certain Types of Scenes Written Better Than Others?

---Was the Story 'Gripping?'

Dislikes and Criticisms (Very Specific)

---Difficulty Following the Author's Writing Style

---Author Too Focused on Uninteresting Theme (Personal preference)

---Areas Where Anything Was Found Lacking

---Advice For Improving Writing***

Final Thoughts and Rating From 1-10

So, if you stuck for some odd reason read through that quick rubric, then now you know what to expect for all of my reviews. I'll try to stay as close to this system as possible for the sake of organization. Also, feel free to give me recommendations of your own for me to review. Whether that be something you've written yourself, or what someone else has written. Just keep in mind that I actually prefer lesser known works. I don't typically plan on writing about something that has 50k+ views and has likely already been reviewed once or twice. Part of my goal is to give the Authors a little boost to get their name out there; kind of defeats the purpose if I'm reviewing an already immensely popular series

I also don't plan on being easy in critiquing everyone's pieces; I just want to be upfront about that. Showers of praise and adoration are for the Comments section, not a place devoted to dissecting not only the writing, but the writer's mind and thought process. I look forward to hearing from anyone who happens to find themselves in my little slice of the enormous pie that is Wattpad. 

So, enjoy.
