So, in other words, if you go, right now, and find 5 storygames which are not properly tagged (there are literally dozens of these out there), then you'll get 5 points.

The catch: to get points for recommending something, I have to agree with you. If you recommend a story for featuring and I don't feature it, then you don't get the points. This is to prevent people from gaming the system. Don't worry, for most of the above recommendations, you won't get rejected often if you follow proper procedure. (Except maybe on the "recommending for featuring.")

However, you need to follow the correct procedure to get your points!

Recommending a comment for featuring:

Reply to THIS thread to THIS post with:
- A hyperlink to the storygame
- The comment that you think deserves featuring (copy and paste it)
- The username of the person who wrote the comment (doesn't have to be the exact username, just enough so I understand who it is)
- If there are already 3 featured comments on the storygame, you also have to let me know whose comment you think should be replaced.
- If I agree, you will get 1 point and the person whose comment is featured will get 2 points. If you are reccomending your own comment, then you only get 2 points.

Recommending a comment for deletion:

It has to either have spammy punctuation, flame the author, be completely incomprehensible, be a duplicate comment, or not actually be a comment (such as "..." or "poop" or something).

Note: Do not recommend comments on Endmaster, madglee, or Tanstaafl's games for deletion unless they are spammy or deformed. Basically, they like to read their flamers so don't rob them of that.

Recommending a storygame for unpublishing

Reply to THIS thread to THIS post with:
- A hyperlink to the storygame
- A short explanation of why [specifically, you must describe how it fails to meet minimum site standards]

    • After receiving at least 7 ratings and being published for at least 1 week, the storygame is rated 1/8
    • After receiving at least 7 ratings and being published for at least 1 week, the storygame is rated 2/8 and its length is 1/8
    • The storygame has all of the following characteristics:
      • Grammar and style poor enough that it cannot be ignored
      • A plot which is poor or nonexistent
      • Poor pacing (usually characterized by frequent and unpredictable end game links)
      • A lack of important decisions
      • Unbelievable or overly cliched dialogue (if dialogue is present in the story)
    • The storygame has "dead" pages- pages with no links or way to proceed.
    • The storygame's central concept is pornographic in nature
    • The storygame is not a storygame and is instead intended to fulfill a goal such as communicating with another member (including all inside jokes) or advertising a product.
    • The storygame is explicitly described by the author as a "troll" game, or intentionally poor quality.
    • Any unfinished story rated 4 or less which has been published for over six months.
      • What qualifies a story as "unfinished?"

        1. Specifically stating in the description/text of the game that it is a "demo."

        2. Ending abruptly with a notice that it will be continued later.

        Games that say they are the first in a series are not automatically considered "unfinished." As long as the game itself is complete, even if the author never returned to write a sequel, it is not up for unpublishing.

         

If you don't follow protocol, either there will be no negative repercussions, you will be ignored, or I'll take your advice and not reward you with points. Following protocol expedites the process for me so I don't have to spend a lot of time making changes.

To summarize: post here (for the most part) with recommendations for who I should reward / what I should change and I'll reward you with points. Take a second to check the posts above you and see if someone else has already made the recommendation.

The storygame has all of the following characteristics:

  • Grammar and style poor enough that it cannot be ignored

"I am sincerley sorry i was chased by dogs and i was hungry, i meant no harm at all." You purr so graciously. the younger cat hissed and yowled. "We should rip off your fur!" "Lionpaw!" - no paragraphs between different speakers, 'I' lpwercase.

  • A plot which is poor or nonexistent

Same as most of the other warrior cats, but with a chance to end it early. You join a clan, you do this, you find a mate, you become a warrior, etc.

  • Poor pacing (usually characterized by frequent and unpredictable end game links)

Any variation from the storyline gets you an end game link

  • A lack of important decisions

Same reason as above, plus about half the time it's just clarifying whether or not you're a tom or a she-cat.

  • Unbelievable or overly cliched dialogue (if dialogue is present in the story)

"Um Heartwing, i have known you for a long time and i would really like it if you would be my mate. Please i truly really love you."

"Oh Lionclaw i have waited forever to hear those words!"

"Heartwing, I will never love anyone else,

The storygame has all of the following characteristics:

  • Grammar and style poor enough that it cannot be ignored

You Thrust Your Sword at your opponent and hit him in the side. - It's not even a sword. It's supposed to be a fencing simulator. Also, it shouldn't be capitalized. The style of having only one or two sentences per page is very monotonous.

  • A plot which is poor or nonexistent

You either attack, block, or chose whether you're balanced when meeting a new opponent - or there's just one link and you can't even decide that. Each page only had one or two links on it.

  • Poor pacing (usually characterized by frequent and unpredictable end game links)

There was no excitement. If you clicked the wrong link, you lost and it was end game.

  • A lack of important decisions

Already mentioned above

  • Unbelievable or overly cliched dialogue (if dialogue is present in the story)

No dialogue

I think this is a suitable one to feature as the third comment on the story, and it's a nice going away present for TinTin. (Two big fat points!)

http://chooseyourstory.com/story/repression

In my opinion, this is one your best games. Something I've noticed is that you tend to use one of two types of protagonist in your stories; the badass (Eternal, Ground Zero, Alpha Wolf, Necromancer...) and the lame...ass (Geek, Tales from The Basement, AVSCYS). Then I guess there's the normal guy just trying to survive in Death Song, the vagina-wearing lunatic in Love SICK and the kid in Imagination who have both badass and lameass characteristics.
But anyhow, what I'm trying to say is that although Eternal is arguably your most epic and impressive story (and probably my favourite overall), I could relate a lot more to the protagonist in this story. I read Eternal as if from a distance, in awe, as the almost god-like protagonist went through his various tribulations. But I read Repression as if I were there. Your other 'lame-ass' protagonists, like in TFTB and Geek, were a bit extreme (not a criticism; I get they're meant to be satirical characters/butt monkeys for your own twisted amusement), but this repressed lame-ass reminds me of people I know IRL. Not to mention myself lol. And it was great that the lame-ass could have a happy ending for once (that is actually realistic-not, 'you're suddenly a completely normal person and you live happily ever after', but 'you did some good today. Things are starting to look up'. And it was scary how easily things could go wrong as well, like IRL. I'd also agree with 31TeV and Loon about the merits of your writing style here and the variety of endings. And yeah, this is probably your most tasteful game.
My one criticism would be about the 'group hug' option. It was kinda cool in a 'wtf!? Oh, forgot I was reading an Endmaster story lol...' kinda way, but I felt like it was just thrown in there to fuck with us, and therefore the story lost some of it's realism (and therefore, it's relatability and poignancy and whatnot) for me. Otherwise, I think I might have given this an 8/8 like Eternal.
But anyhow, great job! 7/8

Recommending a story-game for unpublishing:

FNAF The First Night

This story-game has:

1.Grammar and style poor enough that it can not be ignored.

"You walk in your office. You open the cameras and check out the place. 'Creepy.' You whisper. Why did i come here? You take out a notebook."

In this example, you have have two instances of internal monologue. Oddly, in one case, the character's thoughts are in quotations, while, in the other instance, the character's thoughts are simply italicized. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to the author's choice to do so. Of course, there is also the glaring failure to capitalize the pronoun "I".

2. A plot which is poor or non-existent.

The main character's motivations for taking the job, which pays horribly, are not defined.

3. Poor pacing

The story ends abruptly and anticlimactically, when, after getting molested by a purple robot bear, you choose to look at Pirate cove and realize that your shift is over. Prior to that point, you have no indication of what time it is or even when your shift ends.

4. A lack of important decisions.

There is an Endgame link on the first page, removing almost every incentive to continue. The consequences of your actions throughout the game are nonsensical. If you choose to try to flee through the door of your office when attacked by a purple bear, as opposed to throwing him a rabbit leg that you have in your desk for some reason, you get cornered by a chicken who crams you into a fursuit, killing you. But, on the same page, you acquire a flashlight for some reason. If you use the flashlight, you are taken to the same page that you would be taken to if you threw the bear the rabbit leg. Of course, if you then choose to look at the kitchen, as opposed to looking at pirate cove, another chicken attacks and kills you, at which point you get a knife that will take you to the same page that the flashlight did. How can our choices be important if the consequences of those actions don't match up with the actions themselves?

5. Unbelievable or overly cliched dialogue (if dialogue is present in the story)

In this story, there is nothing that can be considered, by even the most liberal of standards, to be dialogue.

Deformed is for comments that mess up the display by being really long or really spaced out.

Spammy is for comments that don't say anything related to the game.

This is an amusingly bad comment, which by my understanding, is exactly the kind of thing he wants to keep.

Well, apparently, even my laptop doesn't like that game. XD

I went to play the game, and it wouldn't open. It opens all other storygames not on sneak preview just fine - I just checked it.

If a non-sentient thing does not like something, then you know that there's something very wrong with it. I have a feeling that the game will be unpublished soon.

It was hilariously bad, but I'm not actually sure it will be unpublished because ... apparently my reviews are funny enough that some people actually don't want them taken down. xD Wasn't my intention.

Draw My Attention (A New Beginning)

A non-sentient thing can't like something, because it can not gather information about that thing in order to react to or form an opinion about it. The explanation for this phenomenon you are experiencing is quite simple. The poor game doesn't like to be called names. It can't help what it is, what it's creator made it to be. It knows that nobody who reads it will have anything nice to say, so it is afraid of people reading it. Thus, every time you try to open the game, it runs away from your laptop. Science!

Well, the storyline was kind of like how it was like Firestar. He was a kittypet, Bluefur died like Hazelstar did, drowning while being chased by dogs, yada yada yada. :) 

Other than that, the grammar was pretty good, though I think that you could have gone into more detail with the actions. For example, "You catch five pieces of prey." It could describe how you caught it, what it was. When it's Dawnpaw's first fighting session, you could have gone into more detail, in what type of move, and what she did wrong the first time. 

It does seem like you put effort into it, and the battle scene was fun, (messed up as that may sound), but I do think that there could have been more important choices. I understand why you did what you did, but this is a CYOA, and it puts stress on "CHOOSE YOUR own story." 

Keep working at it! With a bit of more effort, and a little polishing, I think that it could be a pretty good game! :)

There were a lot of grammar and spelling mistakes, but honestly, this is the first warrior cat game I actually enjoyed playing. Here's why.

It has a plot. Sure, the plot is strictly linear, and there aren't different endings or choices you can make other then which cat you want to be mates with, but this story had a plot that carried through to the end.

To honor that, I'll be giving you an honest review, my friend. A long one, at that! Just remember that this is a critique- not hate. Your story is good but it can be a lot better if you accept your mistakes and learn from them to improve yourself as well as your writing. Good luck!


MY REVIEW

>> “You will grow up in Thunderclan, get a mate, have kits, and become leader.”

The first page is a little pointless. It spoils the entire story in one sentence! I understand you are trying to prep the reader for the world they will be diving into, but there are a thousand better ways to do just that without spoiling the story. It'd be best to just delete this page all together.


>> “Your a kit in Thunderclan you just opened your eyes a week ago.”

I'm going to hold off on correcting your grammar and spelling till later. Right now we're focusing on the story. First things first, in the warriors universe, cats do not know what a week is. “Week” is a human term. They call it a quarter-moon in the warriors universe.


>> "yes but be careful and stay with Oakkit or Birtchkit.".

You have never introduced Oakkit or Birchkit to us until this sentence. How are we suppose to know who they are? Or what they're like? You're setting the reader up on a blind date!


>> You see Firestar and he walks over to you.

Who is this cat. What does he look like? Why does he have the same name as the main character of the Warriors Series? Is this the same cat? There's no context at all! O-o


>> "What are your names kits?" Firestar asks

How does the leader, who is the first cat besides the mother and medicine cat to see the kittens after they are born, not know who they are?


>> "I'm Firestar." He says.

Umm... The reader already knows that?


>> Your dad is your mentor but there is one more Apprentice than Warrior you must choose who you train with.

There's a lot wrong with this. I'm not even talking about the grammar. First off, there are more apprentices then warriors? In an average clan, there are about 30 cats. This would mean there are 2 warriors (assuming there are only 3 apprentices) in ThunderClan...


>> You help Oakpaw and he gets the hang of it.

No conversations whatsoever. Apparently my character doesn't like to talk. Neither does anyone else. Maybe the 28 warriors left because it was too quiet. XD


>> You go back to clan with 5 pieces of prey each.

WHOA! You weren't kidding about me being a natural! Holy shit that's incredible. The 5 cats of ThunderClan are gonna have a feast!


>> "Shadowclan!"  Fuzzypelt yelled.

Oh a new character being introduced! Yay, I wonder how he's going to contribute to the story!


>> "Help!" You yell and Fuzzypelt attacks Shadowstar you watch in horror as Fuzzypelt dies and there is no longer a deputy.

Oh.


>> You and Oakpaw run to the nursery to protect the kits but are pinned down by Shadowstar.

Is this the only cat who attacked ThunderClan? Just the ShadowClan leader? Why is he going for the nursery? Why is he attacking an apprentice? What even are his motives for attacking ThunderClan?


>> You slash Shadowstars throat and his face then he died

I've been an apprentice for a few days and I kill ShadowClan's leader. You realize killing a cat is against the warrior code, right? And that leaders have 9 lives? And that an apprentice, who hasn't even been in a fight before, killing a senior cat who is older, bigger, stronger, and more experienced is HIGHLY unlikely.


>> When you wake up you are weak and see Birtchpaw, Oakpaw, Flameclaw, Dawnpetal, and Firestar by you.

What are you guys doing here? Did you even defeat the ShadowClan attackers?


>> "We will be allies with windclan so anyone who attacks a windclan cat without a good reason will be punished." Firestar said. "We will help each other in attacks against shadow or riverclan attacks."

Why are we allying with WindClan? Better yet, why would WindClan want to be allies with us? Also...why are ShadowClan and RiverClan attacking us? There's absolutely no explanation for this.


>> You decide to go with Oakfang. She blushes and says "You know I've been thinking, and well if you've been thinking the same thing, would you like to be my mate?"

Wow, Oakfang suddenly turned into a girl. Awkward...


>> "Um Lightclaw your father died." Ivyedge said

I'm sorry, what? You're not even going to warn me first before laying out this horrible, heart wrenching news?


>> "He was attacked by riverclan when he went hunting."

Wow not even a “I'm sorry for your lose." What a dick.


>> "Silence. the new deputy will be Lightclaw Flameclaws son."

You're naming me the new deputy without even going to retrieve Flameclaw's body or even making sure he's actually dead?


>> You bite his neck and he dies you hear a yowl and rush over to your mate.

Again with the unnecessary killing and unauthentic leader representation. He would come back to life seconds later unless that was his last life.


>> You're new name is Lightstar.

No it's not. You don't get the -star name change until you go to the moonstone/moonpool and receive your nine lives.



That sums up my thoughts as I read the story. Now onto the next part of my review.

There's a lot of grammar and spelling errors. I took the time to write out the most common ones I found. Be sure to have spelling check on and reread and edit your story several times before publishing. You can also get one of your friends or a family member to read it and give you their opinion on it.

COMMON MISTAKES
>> Using Your instead of You're. [Example: Your a kit in ThunderClan.]

>> Missing commas. [Example: "But in 3 moons Birtchpaw, Lightpaw, and Oakpaw will be Warriors we're lucky they revived the attack, they were really brave."]

>> Run-on sentences. [Example: "It's dangerous out there your only three weeks old wait until you five weeks." Dawnpetal says.]

>> Birtch is not how you spell Birch.

>> Unnecessarily starting new paragraphs. [Example: The Walk around the clan(OK) & Walk around the clan(BK) pages]

>> Unnecessary capitalization. [Example: Your dad is your mentor but there is one more Apprentice than Warrior you must choose who you train with.]

>> Using there instead of they're. [Example: Except there's something wrong, there injured like you, except for Oakpaw.]


And that's all! Hope you took the time to read this all. Good story and I hope you focus on these things! If you do, the next story will surely be much much better. :)

Romeo's Bad Day

This game is currently in "School Based", despite the fact that it does not take place in a school. I will admit, though, that it is a bit difficult to place. It seems to be a grammar quiz...set to the story of a pre-existing work...from half a millenium ago. We've already established that things like Sherlock Holmes aren't necessarily fan-fiction. So, I honestly don't have a clue as to where this should go. But, I think that it might be best to place it in "Everything Else" or "Edutainment".

I considered just throwing in the towel, but duty calls (or PMs, apparently) and I must answer. Death by cancer-inducing stories or not, here we go again. Round three! 

>> harry is in the hospital bed only to recieve news that carnage is unleashed ! 

That's the only reason he's in the hospital bed? How selfish! There are people with actual medical problems! He could watch the news anywhere. 

>> we have a bad news oscorp building is infested by infected people ! spider-man has went inside and he is trying to stop the red symbiote !" 

1: "a bad news"? So, just the one, then? 

2: Is a single "news" called a "new"? Or maybe a "newslette"? 

3: How does the reporter know any of this? How would anybody outside the building know about the infection, or that it was an infection, or what spider-man is CURRENTLY DOING, if they're outside the building? 

>>harry:"peter... i need to save him before it's too late !" 

1: Save him from what? This is his job, kid. He kicked your ass, how are you going to save him? 

2: Too late for ... what, exactly? Dinner? A movie? You have literally no reason to think he's in actual peril. 

>>As New Goblin wanders throughout the city by his skystick he encounter three thugs threatening people. 

1: The hell? Why is he 'wandering'? It's HIS building, doesn't he know where it is? o.0 

2: ... He's using his "skystick" to navigate the city, huh? You'd think he'd end up bumping into a few hookers or strip joints on the way. 

3: >_> I thought he was in a HURRY "save" Peter "before it's too late" though. Harry isn't a super hero, why is he stopping to save random people from random thugs? 

>>New Goblin:"Stop you thug's!" 

Thug's what? 

>>looks like you have got some gut's to stop us eh !" 

Gut's WHAT? >_> What do these thugs and guts have? Blueberry pie? Angler fish? Herpes? What? Come on, man, don't leave me hanging like that... 

>>Come on boy's attack him 

... Screw you. I'm just going to say it was herpes. I'm being attacked by sentient herpes. It would make this story more interesting anyway, especially since I'm navigating AND fighting using my "skystick" and my "ionic sword." (I miss having a good, old "web shooter" to launch a 'white, sticky' substance at my enemies' faces.) 

>>"Look's like you'll will never learn a lesson but i will teach you a lesson !" 

1: At least they're struggling with learning proper morals, not basic English. 

2: Well, Harry, congratulations. You just managed to deliver what was, in the same moment, both the most cynical and most optimistic line I've ever read. 

>>thug #2 is attacking you with his baseball bat. 

Here's a fun game to try: Just imagine every single weapon name in this game is in quotes! With the proper imagination, any game can be x-rated. 

>>you was knocked out by thug #2 with his baseball bat Game Over ! 

He named it "Game Over"? He must have quite a batting average. 

>>but where ? 

Foul! Foul, I say. It is a damnable shame that you cannot throw your razor bats anywhere other than his arms or legs. What about the moobs? 

>>you used razor bats on his legs but they were not effective that thug manages to kill you easily ! 

You're telling me that a guy with razors LODGED IN HIS LEGS was able to take me out -easily- when I had a glider, super strength, and sword, and "armed blades"? ... >_>' Harry's a wuss. 

>>Hammerhead is charging towards you and crash you to a wall by using his shoulder what will you do ? 

You're telling me he's already used his shoulder to "crash me" (I wasn't even driving, officer, I swear!) into a wall and you want me to dodge? Dodge what, the crippling shame of getting my ass beat by a guy named after the 12th most retarded looking fish on the planet? 

>>now he's mad. 
>>Hammerhead:"Now you're making me mad !" 

... Such riveting and insightful dialogue. 

>>Hammerhead removes the street lamp and he is about to swing either left or right. 

1: ... What street lamp? Removed from what? 

2: I have a glider and bombs. Seriously, why am I having a melee fight on the ground with the Hulk's lesser cousin? 

3: You know what, if he wants to swing, that's great, but I don't really have a partner to trade out--unless Peter and I really ARE more than friends. He did ride my skystick, after all. 

>>you have chosen wrong direction he hit's you with his street lamp and you're dead. 

Still better than One Direction. :P *rimshot* 

(I'm just skipping over the many times you forced me to dodge, including the times you said it was the last time. The borde--betrayal is too much.) 

>>He's is now tired and can't hit you with that street lamp anymore 

... Considering he never hit me period, I suppose he can't hit me any less, either. 

>>you're an adventurer you're on a quest to find the cryptode... will you find it before it's too late ? 

You referenced an actual, good game in this? I'm starting to feel sorry for Solostrike. Heeh, I wonder what other poor bastard you're going to--oh, God, it's me, isn't it? 

>>The Devil's Chase. 

1: ... Well, fuck. -_- 

2: The Devil's Chess.* Kiel_Farren* 

3: His name is Layne, not "head strong teen," that's almost as bad as Thug #1. 

4: *sigh* I can't help but wonder why you didn't just copy and paste the summaries. If you're going to borrow someone else's stories to shamelessly advertise in a shoddy attempt to make your own game more interesting, why not rip-off the official descriptions? Simpler, easier, and far less embarrassing for literally everyone involved. 

>>SPIDER-MAN:Rise of carnage. Part III is back. 

I'll try to contain my euphoria. No promises. 

>>via skystick all of a sudden 

Oh, I don't think Harry using his skystick was sudden at all. I get the feeling he's had lots and lots of time alone practicing, getting some real hands-on experience. :P 

>>New Goblin:"If anyone come's in my way i will fight them !" 

Fair enough. If a strange dude just came right in front of me, I'd probably be offended, too. 

>>Hydro Man Is performing water splash attack on you

Ehh, if this is during the earlier generations, it won't do any damage. 

>>he's trying to do something and you cant understand 

Well, Harry, with vivid descriptions like these, I can't imagine why you'd be confused. 

>>you have a feeling that he's trying to recover himself. 

Ahh. In that case, I'd recommend some therapy, maybe a few years of traveling the world and soul searching, or quite possibly some pot brownies and cable TV. 

>>New Goblin throws pumpkin bomb's on Hydro Man as he dissolves in water and retreats. 

Ohh, so he has the same weakness as Alka-Seltzer. 

>>i'm not going to let you save him!" 
>>New Goblin:"well so be it !" 

'So be it'? Gee, that was easy. Vulture must be one hell of a persuasive conversationalist. 

>>Vulture is throwing some spiked blades like feathers what will you do ? 

He's throwing the blades like feathers. And how, exactly, does one throw a feather? 

>>your body falling from 3000 m you're dead 

1: 3,000 meters? >_> You mean to tell me that I am 1.8 miles in the air? What the bloody hell am I doing so high up? That's over 9,800 feet high! The tallest building in the entire world is less than 3,000 feet tall. I'm more than three times higher than anyone needs to be to go ... literally anywhere in New York, fictional or otherwise. 

2: How did I even SEE the thugs on the ground at this height? How did vulture (or anyone else) see me? >_>' More importantly, how is my skystick not freezing...? (Legit question, how do I not have ice on this thing?) 

>>vulture then kick's you off causing you to die. 

Harry's basically made of glass in this story. I'll bet even just throwing an actual feather at me would kill me. 

>>he is knocked out by a sudden force and falls from his skystick. 
>>New Goblin:"Ouch ! Who are you ?" 

I thought you said I got knocked out. 0_o What, do I talk in my sleep? 

>>Venom:"Hahahaha ! I'm Venom The Black Symbiote.!" 

That's ... racist? 

>>Venom is shooting black goo on you 

1: ... Kinky? 
2: Ew. You should probably get that checked out. 

>>Venom sucessfully lunges on you and now he's on your skystick 

... Damn, man, you could at least buy me a drink first! Or get tested. That black goo coming out of you is more than a little unsettling. (On the other hand, now I have a partner to swing with Hammerhead! Hopefully he has a really hot wife.) 

>>As You push venom off your skystick you get off 

I feel like I need a shower after reading these stories, you know. My eyes feel dirty. Sadly, even though this felt egregiously long, I think I had even less to work with here than your first two. I can't tell if that means you're getting better or getting worse. >_>'

Whenever I read these things I always wind up thinking "wow, cats have pretty boring lives", I would much rather read about the life of a duck-billed platypus in it's struggle to stop illegal underwater oil drilling by uniting an alliance of sharks and killer whales to attack the oil rigs using a combination of kamikaze attacks and self-created tsunamis... you have to take what's there I suppose :)
Your writing style is very good and you spend the right amount of time on descriptions but you need to put character dialogue on a new line and assign names to the supporting cast. A plot helps too (something as simple as a cat having a mouse as an antagonist can be used as a plot) but it's much better than most other first efforts on here, hopefully you will write more :)

Story: http://chooseyourstory.com/story/live-the-life-of-a-cat

Reason: Within the first few words, Will addressed one of the biggest problems I have with animal sims. Overall, I think the review is pretty well written.


The title struck me with terror: some annoying people divide their stories into chapters and some even more evil people divide their stories into parts but you have done both. This means that there could me as many as 10 parts just in chapter 1 and as many as 10 chapters in 1 story when really there should just be one complete published story game.
The prospect of reading this 100 times or something very like it is a depressing one. On the bright side it wasn't so bad I wanted to tear my eyes out in an effort to unsee it but it wasn't particularly great either, there have been dozens of warrior cat fan-fics written with the same plots, though at least your characters have a little personality to go with their names. It contains the usual fan-fic drawbacks of choices that aren't really choices (starting on the first page), poor grammar and uninspiring writing for anyone who doesn't already day-dream of warrior cats at school :)

Reason: Another well written review which covers the faults and good points of the story well.


Not the worst thing I have ever read, but there are a few problems with it. While I have met some people who have an absolutely horrendous grasp of the English language, all of the questions you asked are simple enough that anyone capable of reading and understanding your story will have no problems choosing the correct answers. The length of the story is also disappointing. The story ends abruptly and in an odd place, after you have asked only five questions. I was expecting the questions to become more difficult as I went on, but I was disappointed to find that they were all on about the same skill level. Still, this story shows that you have a good command of the English language and I hope that you will continue to take advantage of the tools that this site has to offer.

Why? The story has nothing to do with a school. It was simply written for a school assignment, but the subject and the story are about running a business.

I considered just throwing in the towel, but duty calls (or PMs, apparently) and I must answer. Death by cancer-inducing stories or not, here we go again. Round three!

>> harry is in the hospital bed only to recieve news that carnage is unleashed !

That's the only reason he's in the hospital bed? How selfish! There are people with actual medical problems! He could watch the news anywhere.

>> we have a bad news oscorp building is infested by infected people ! spider-man has went inside and he is trying to stop the red symbiote !"

1: "a bad news"? So, just the one, then?

2: Is a single "news" called a "new"? Or maybe a "newslette"?

3: How does the reporter know any of this? How would anybody outside the building know about the infection, or that it was an infection, or what spider-man is CURRENTLY DOING, if they're outside the building?

>>harry:"peter... i need to save him before it's too late !"

1: Save him from what? This is his job, kid. He kicked your ass, how are you going to save him?

2: Too late for ... what, exactly? Dinner? A movie? You have literally no reason to think he's in actual peril.

>>As New Goblin wanders throughout the city by his skystick he encounter three thugs threatening people.

1: The hell? Why is he 'wandering'? It's HIS building, doesn't he know where it is? o.0

2: ... He's using his "skystick" to navigate the city, huh? You'd think he'd end up bumping into a few hookers or strip joints on the way.

3: >_> I thought he was in a HURRY "save" Peter "before it's too late" though. Harry isn't a super hero, why is he stopping to save random people from random thugs?

>>New Goblin:"Stop you thug's!"

Thug's what?

>>looks like you have got some gut's to stop us eh !"

Gut's WHAT? >_> What do these thugs and guts have? Blueberry pie? Angler fish? Herpes? What? Come on, man, don't leave me hanging like that...

>>Come on boy's attack him

... Screw you. I'm just going to say it was herpes. I'm being attacked by sentient herpes. It would make this story more interesting anyway, especially since I'm navigating AND fighting using my "skystick" and my "ionic sword." (I miss having a good, old "web shooter" to launch a 'white, sticky' substance at my enemies' faces.)

>>"Look's like you'll will never learn a lesson but i will teach you a lesson !"

1: At least they're struggling with learning proper morals, not basic English.

2: Well, Harry, congratulations. You just managed to deliver what was, in the same moment, both the most cynical and most optimistic line I've ever read.

>>thug #2 is attacking you with his baseball bat.

Here's a fun game to try: Just imagine every single weapon name in this game is in quotes! With the proper imagination, any game can be x-rated.

>>you was knocked out by thug #2 with his baseball bat Game Over !

He named it "Game Over"? He must have quite a batting average.

>>but where ?

Foul! Foul, I say. It is a damnable shame that you cannot throw your razor bats anywhere other than his arms or legs. What about the moobs?

>>you used razor bats on his legs but they were not effective that thug manages to kill you easily !

You're telling me that a guy with razors LODGED IN HIS LEGS was able to take me out -easily- when I had a glider, super strength, and sword, and "armed blades"? ... >_>' Harry's a wuss.

>>Hammerhead is charging towards you and crash you to a wall by using his shoulder what will you do ?

You're telling me he's already used his shoulder to "crash me" (I wasn't even driving, officer, I swear!) into a wall and you want me to dodge? Dodge what, the crippling shame of getting my ass beat by a guy named after the 12th most retarded looking fish on the planet?

>>now he's mad.
>>Hammerhead:"Now you're making me mad !"

... Such riveting and insightful dialogue.

>>Hammerhead removes the street lamp and he is about to swing either left or right.

1: ... What street lamp? Removed from what?

2: I have a glider and bombs. Seriously, why am I having a melee fight on the ground with the Hulk's lesser cousin?

3: You know what, if he wants to swing, that's great, but I don't really have a partner to trade out--unless Peter and I really ARE more than friends. He did ride my skystick, after all.

>>you have chosen wrong direction he hit's you with his street lamp and you're dead.

Still better than One Direction. :P *rimshot*

(I'm just skipping over the many times you forced me to dodge, including the times you said it was the last time. The borde--betrayal is too much.)

>>He's is now tired and can't hit you with that street lamp anymore

... Considering he never hit me period, I suppose he can't hit me any less, either.

>>you're an adventurer you're on a quest to find the cryptode... will you find it before it's too late ?

You referenced an actual, good game in this? I'm starting to feel sorry for Solostrike. Heeh, I wonder what other poor bastard you're going to--oh, God, it's me, isn't it?

>>The Devil's Chase.

1: ... Well, fuck. -_-

2: The Devil's Chess.* Kiel_Farren*

3: His name is Layne, not "head strong teen," that's almost as bad as Thug #1.

4: *sigh* I can't help but wonder why you didn't just copy and paste the summaries. If you're going to borrow someone else's stories to shamelessly advertise in a shoddy attempt to make your own game more interesting, why not rip-off the official descriptions? Simpler, easier, and far less embarrassing for literally everyone involved.

>>SPIDER-MAN:Rise of carnage. Part III is back.

I'll try to contain my euphoria. No promises.

>>via skystick all of a sudden

Oh, I don't think Harry using his skystick was sudden at all. I get the feeling he's had lots and lots of time alone practicing, getting some real hands-on experience. :P

>>New Goblin:"If anyone come's in my way i will fight them !"

Fair enough. If a strange dude just came right in front of me, I'd probably be offended, too.

>>Hydro Man Is performing water splash attack on you

Ehh, if this is during the earlier generations, it won't do any damage.

>>he's trying to do something and you cant understand

Well, Harry, with vivid descriptions like these, I can't imagine why you'd be confused.

>>you have a feeling that he's trying to recover himself.

Ahh. In that case, I'd recommend some therapy, maybe a few years of traveling the world and soul searching, or quite possibly some pot brownies and cable TV.

>>New Goblin throws pumpkin bomb's on Hydro Man as he dissolves in water and retreats.

Ohh, so he has the same weakness as Alka-Seltzer.

>>i'm not going to let you save him!"
>>New Goblin:"well so be it !"

'So be it'? Gee, that was easy. Vulture must be one hell of a persuasive conversationalist.

>>Vulture is throwing some spiked blades like feathers what will you do ?

He's throwing the blades like feathers. And how, exactly, does one throw a feather?

>>your body falling from 3000 m you're dead

1: 3,000 meters? >_> You mean to tell me that I am 1.8 miles in the air? What the bloody hell am I doing so high up? That's over 9,800 feet high! The tallest building in the entire world is less than 3,000 feet tall. I'm more than three times higher than anyone needs to be to go ... literally anywhere in New York, fictional or otherwise.

2: How did I even SEE the thugs on the ground at this height? How did vulture (or anyone else) see me? >_>' More importantly, how is my skystick not freezing...? (Legit question, how do I not have ice on this thing?)

>>vulture then kick's you off causing you to die.

Harry's basically made of glass in this story. I'll bet even just throwing an actual feather at me would kill me.

>>he is knocked out by a sudden force and falls from his skystick.
>>New Goblin:"Ouch ! Who are you ?"

I thought you said I got knocked out. 0_o What, do I talk in my sleep?

>>Venom:"Hahahaha ! I'm Venom The Black Symbiote.!"

That's ... racist?

>>Venom is shooting black goo on you

1: ... Kinky?
2: Ew. You should probably get that checked out.

>>Venom sucessfully lunges on you and now he's on your skystick

... Damn, man, you could at least buy me a drink first! Or get tested. That black goo coming out of you is more than a little unsettling. (On the other hand, now I have a partner to swing with Hammerhead! Hopefully he has a really hot wife.)

>>As You push venom off your skystick you get off

I feel like I need a shower after reading these stories, you know. My eyes feel dirty. Sadly, even though this felt egregiously long, I think I had even less to work with here than your first two. I can't tell if that means you're getting better or getting worse. >_>'
