Truly the BOOBS!!! of the new generation.

Liminal, this is brilliant :D You have nailed the cliches of a certain (very) special kind of writer and this story is a brilliant example of a particular way of writing (there will be some cretins out there who can’t recognize true beauty when they see it and will criticize you. Verbally incinerate them). You portray a certain kind of UK accent very well. Obviously, there are a lot of words and some of them are spelt correctly or put in the right order, a lack of originality which I found frankly disappointing at times, but I think I can ignore that to focus on the true beauty of what you have created.

In some ways I feel this is a significant improvement on the original as it is more suitable for millennials and much more original in both dialogue and prose. I think it was an error on the part of the author that Dudley survived the snake but I like the single use of the word “space”. I think the lack of choices in a cys is a brilliant narrative choice and I liked Drigah (this part seems like something Sent would write as well!). I also like the fact that this story doesn’t use capitals but spells onomatopoeia correctly.

Obviously, a piece of art like this is above criticism (some might also say beyond praise as well) but I humbly beg the writer’s pardon to point out the one single, obvious, irredeemable flaw in this: it’s not longer. I feel it’s possible we might have skipped a few bits in the story here and there and would very much like to see a full, more fleshed-out version of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (or possibly, the entire series or even other classical works like The Lord of the Things, er Rings) given this author’s fantastic writing style and treatment. What of Fluffy, the tree-headed God? Snape, the Photos Master? Or even Dumbledoor, the principle and headmonster of Hogwarts? There is so much potential here, so much raw… something. Great work :D

I wasn't sold on this until I saw the stunning character art.

love

pow
onomatopeia"
i need a sequel otherwisw i will binge watch harry potter until i weigh only 39.5 LBS

Thank goodness I read Harry Potter so I can answer the weird first question accurately.

Here's your irrational 7/8 for making a Harry Potter fanfic that's hilarious in its sheer non-seriousness and "newb parody".

LOL! This is amazing purely because it's so hilarious! XD
But yeah, like Anthraxus pointed out you used too big a word.

10/10 Harry Potter story game that truly encapsulates the spirit of the franchise. I think I even heard that Warner Bros is going to ask if they can make this fanfic a TV series soon!

A brilliant example of transcendent literature. Reading this will truly bring you enlightenment.

This is a great example of type, or at least it was until the very end. One word spoiled this whole thing for me and as consequence the author should be tarred and feathered and stoned until dead. What was that word? onomatopeia.

This does a great job of aping the style and mannerisms of a noob writer, but non of them would use such a complex word. Come on Liminal, you can't drop the ball right at the end like that.

The fact that this is gonna have more ratings than Constellaris Court in a few hours says a lot about society

A literary masterpiece. Forget Eternal, this should be the #1 story on the site. Fanfiction doesn't have a good rep in general, but if more stories of this quality keep coming around it'll gain the respect of all soon enough.

In all seriousness, I thought this was a pretty entertaining story. The intentional loose and low effort tone was fun to read. I found the blend of random absurdity and straight man jokes delightful. It doesn't rely on you knowing anything about Harry Potter (thought that's probably more due to the author not caring if you have proper context or not), but is still able to communicate clearly the relationships between the characters in the original series in a comedic, exaggerated fashion.

Yes, I am aware this is way too serious of a review for what is a self-admitted shitpost. Just saying that I liked it is all. Gave me a good laugh.

Hey, its Naz. i wanna apologize to everybody for what happened earlier. also this game is really good i could spend the rest of my life playing it. but to anyone who sees this, i'm sorry for what i did. i have finally seen that i am in the wrong, and i dont expect forgiveness. just please consider it at least. have a great day.

I was in photography class, tired of sitting at the computer and playing minesweeper I decide to open CYS. his is where I then discover a new story-game! And it's not just any storygame.. it's a HARRY POTTER storygame! Reading through this absolute treasure of a storygame made me shed tears and shake uncontrollably out of my sheer awe and admiration.

This was an immaculately written story-game, I could feel the passion and emotion that went into every word, especially in this passage, "Bam pow onomatopeia oh good you got him he'll be back at the end of next year though dont worry abt it." I could feel Liminal's literacy genius enlighten me. The beautiful sounds effects create vivid imagery and helps the reader imagine this serious and gripping scene so well.

I especially enjoyed how this brilliant author described the different academic courses you could take at Frogscales. The Flies course was explained with so much depth and detail my brain started melting from all the information I was consuming.

Overall, I think liminal is a wizard with his words, and I highly suggest anyone who's new to this site to read this story. I also suggest that everyone should strive to achieve the level of literacy intellect as shown in this storygame.

Fortunately, this game also doubles as a sequel to Will11's How Not to Write
