CORNBRINGER
I hate people that just give 5-star reviews because "it's *insert author name here*!" without giving any kind of constructive criticism what-so-ever. The story has quite a few flaws, from some basic grammar mistakes (that can be glossed over, as those things are inevitable) to stupid and nonsensical actions taken by characters, be they from the main cast or not. It makes the story feel unnatural and inflexible. The characters' personalities are so-so, with some characters being actually adequately thought out, while the others seem to be there just because. The story between the MC and Emily feels forced and unnecessary. It is simply there for the "cute" factor and to limit the MC and his choices early on. I have read from other reviews that it does get better, but I simply am not capable of pushing myself through this story any longer. Props to the author for good update stability.
Usually love Cornbringers stories, but on this one the mc feels....incomplete, he barely acts like a actual person and more of a comment than anything else. Lose thoughts inserted into a story and sold as a character. Which is disappointing. Rest is of usual quality, well made, just if the main character isn't that good it pulls the rest down as well.
I like the story, and when theres action it’s heavily entertaining. But theres a lot of cheesy pointless dialogue between Alex and Emily, we don’t need to know everything that happens between, especially when it adds little to no importance to the story. Like when Emily asks for Ice Cream, and then it shows us Alex’s reaction to Emily wanting Ice Cream, and then Emily’s reaction to Alex’s reaction to Emily wanting Ice Cream, you get where I’m going with this?
Well in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking at this matter in a different way and without fighting and by trying to make it clear, and by considering each and everyone's opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say.
The spelling, grammar, and syntax are not perfect but good and easily read. No current updates but previously not bad. The story development overall isn’t bad but it feels rushed. Later chapters feel as though there are a lot of filler moments. The characters are not to bad at the start but feel as though they lose some dimension as the story progresses. Mc comes off as having the mental capacity of a 12 year old child. The breakdown of the world is horrendous. There are no descriptions of the world past some initial values. Everything after that isn’t given any details. The story isn’t a bad time filler but has room for improvement.
