“Compelling storytelling with interesting characters that play off your expectations and perceptions.”
“The story beats and pacing were perfect for the narrative they were presenting.”
“The plot is complex and plays out like a soap opera with a truly grand ending.”
“The only real complaint I have is connected to the story, and it's a personal kind of thing since I am a writer who does not like plot holes or contrivances at all, and this story had... a lot of them.”
“The plot continuously shoots itself in the foot, the writing is sloppy at best and outright detrimental to the game at worst, and the narrative beats you over the head with the themes it's trying to impart only to do a complete 180 with the ending that completely invalidates all of the story beats and moral grandstanding that they've tried to impart on the reader.”
“There was no time or opportunity to learn about this world or enjoy the characters, just immediate back to back things that happen to move the plot forward.”
