This story, this one right here.
I am going to start this story with my opinion, and that opinion is holy shit it's tied for my favorite story on this website
The quality is just amazing, higher than mine that's for sure, and the storyline is the most unique I've ever seen. I don't know if the author took any of it from somewhere ,or where it was inspired from, but it is just pure amazingness.
And the little references that seem like clever little things, but are really quotes or references fro mold but gold movies and such are just awesome.
This story has it all. It's got Dark, it's got gore and violence, it has adorableness ,it has sad, it has adventure
everything
everything good at least
The only spelling or grammar mistakes I remember seeing was on the last chapter, but that's it.
The only sudden plot twist left hanging is the last one, because it hasn't been updated yet, and there are so many differ subplots and arcs in this thing you could make a series out of it and be on the air for like four seasons.
It starts out super dark and grim, and incredibly confusing and vague. That definitely works for this story, though, as you find out what's happened along with Twilight and I love it when things like this are done in that way. It further immerses you into the storyline. When you feel like saying "Oh fuck what the hell?", Twilight says something similar and it's an experience you kind of share. The flashbacks were done perfectly as well. They didn't eat up chapters, yet they show exactly what needs to be shown.
The variety and pure creativity of all the characters, creatures and such is amazing. I've got a sneaking feeling that not everything is original, but it's still such an amazing variety I don't really care.
The only thing that could make this story better is if it turned into TwiLuna, which just may be in the works by the looks of things.
All in all, long story short, TL;DR, this story deserves a hell of a lot more than the 500 something likes it has. My stories have more likes and such and this story puts them to shame.
There isn't much I wouldn't do to talk to the author, or even collaborate on something. It would be one of the darkest and most interesting things ever, but it'd be amazing. If you have the time to invest in 42 chapters of incomplete story amazingness then do so
and if you don't, do it anyways.
It is quite amazing is it not, I have read it probably 3 times by now and will read it many more times
Glad I suggested it and that you liked it!
And I fully agree it needs more likes.
So did this bash your writers block or do you need more?
Thank you for this incredibly positive review, I'm glad you enjoyed the story so much!
1199354 You seem to not understand how inspiration works.
if a dark and badass adventure story inspires me to write, it'll inspire me to write something dark and badass and adventure like.
A.K.A. the twilight was dark tonight updates
I am glad you showed me this, though, loved the hell out of it.
1199626 I can't wait for more updates and if you ever want someone to bounce ideas off of that has experience with popular stories and the particular genre, just send a message my way
Completely agree, though I saw significantly more typos than you did. Mostly minor stuff like a period where a comma should be.
My only complaint would be the one scene from Ch. 18. It felt sudden and broke the flow of the story, but it was played off well enough.
Also, if this ties for first, what's the other story?
1203635 I dunno, there's a few of them.
to name a few of them, four of two and apotheosis. The other 10 or 20 of them that tie for first I can't remember the names lol
1203886 Well let me suggest Immortal Game to add to your list.
I can't comment on you doing dark stories without bringing up a story I've resolved to stop banging on about, so I'll just say good for you and wish you luck in your endeavor.
