Reviews for Curious Happenings That Changed It All |

![]() ![]() ![]() Interesting epilogue on the ending. Glad to see this come to completion for now. :) You did a really good job on the story and I'm glad to have checked it out. I think I've sort off mentioned before, but some of the imagery of this story is stuck in my mind for good, like it created an impression that doesn't forget. I hope that one of my stories does the same for someone down the line. :) |
![]() ![]() ![]() As usual a very good chapter. Keep up the good work! |
![]() ![]() Uh...my biggest complaint is that I'm so caught up in trying to decipher the names that I've completely missed just about everything that's happened. In any story, stick to simple names that your readers can actually pronounce without tripping over six times. It doesn't have to be hopelessly complicated to be obviously foreign or strange. Examples: Ziva (NCIS). Spock (Star Trek). Nyota (Star Trek). Wong (Doctor Strange). Aelin (Throne of Glass series). Lysandra (Throne of Glass series). Severus (Harry Potter). Seraphina (Seraphina (that's the actual title of the book)). All of these are fairly easily figured out for English-speakers like you and I. Secondly, 'atlast' is two words: at last. 'Some thing' is one word: something. The only exception is in dialogue when the character is trying to come up with a word but fails and resorts to 'thing': "There was some.../thing/ that attacked us, sir." Thirdly (although I'm not entirely certain if that is, in fact, a word), the dramatization, in my opinion, is not fun to read. This may be rated K and your language reflects that, but the topics do not. (Definition of K ratings: Suitable for more mature children, 9 years and older, with minor action violence without serious injury. Hint: decapitation is /not/ minor action violence without serious injury. Strong recommendation: bump the rating up to M. Definition of M ratings: Not suitable for children or teens below the age of 16 with non-explicit suggestive adult themes, references to some violence, or coarse language. Decapitation is stretching the 'some violence' part of it, but okay.) Fourth of all, a recommendation: DESCRIPTION, DESCRIPTION, DESCRIPTION. I was a bit sidetracked by the names, but I didn't see very many adjectives or even some descriptive nouns. Where do they live? An opulent palace? The barn floor? At one point, they're in rooms. Describe the rooms. Are there tapestries hanging on the walls? What do the walls look like? Are they painted gold? Are they rough stone? I saw the word 'beautiful' a lot, but that's not very helpful in painting an image. How is he/she/it/they beautiful? Are their facial features rounded or sharp? Does he/she/it have a strong jawline and prominent cheekbones or an oval face with plump cheeks? In my mind, I see these people as darkly colored: straight, raven black hair with tanned skin and volcanic black eyes. Is that right? Or are they a fair people: blond and blue eyed, mountainous creatures? I'm honestly reluctant to continue. I don't want to come across as flaming. |
![]() ![]() ![]() I like this chapter a lot, there was a great adventurous feel to it. :) I really like the little flashbacks into the character's minds that you incorporate too, it makes them feel a lot more alive. Overall, it's still getting better and better! |
![]() ![]() Ekhaneii tooh ache bakii chapters .I will read it from here.I read this 9th had missed d 8th I will tuii toh bhaloii to praise fr dat?! |
![]() ![]() ![]() Really good as usual, and looking forward to more on these amulets. The pov shifts were a little awkward in this chapter... or maybe it was just how it starts in the 3rd person and things get repeated a bit. Still, it always surprises me how easily I get sucked into this story to the point where I can picture everything. :) |
![]() ![]() ![]() Another good chapter! If I may suggest it, try changing the genre to supernatural/adventure, and try giving corresponding English names for the patently Indian words. For example, the flower Parijat could be referenced to as Parijat, the Night Jasmine. That way, your story will not exclude non-Indian readership. Cheers Harmonious Cannons/ The Gunning Twin |
![]() ![]() ![]() The story is very well written and is a good story. please update soon. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Happy to see another chapter in this. :) Heh, curious about the gift too. Anyone who takes the time to read this is lucky; your writing style has a way of bringing things to life. Btw, sorry I haven't posted in quite a while... most of my creative time has been used on making a video game in my rpg maker program, but I plan on getting back to it soon. |
![]() ![]() What a situation! Of course, they got off pretty lightly, I am sure that similar circumstances would have seen most others skinned... Nice update |
