Okay. Nice and readable, but otherwise mediocre execution or concept. Either that, or the concept is good, but there are enough errors/odd phrasings/contrived character decisions that prevent me from enjoying it as much as I potentially could. Some may have been better and since declined. Equivalent to 3 stars.
The concept or beginning attracted me and possibly still does, but the execution is poor, possibly sounding clunky or having consistently bad grammar, detracting from ease of reading. Equivalent to 2 stars.
The concept or beginning attracted me, but the story is actually so clichéd/bad or the narration or speech itself is so basic/jarring/unrealistic that now I’m only reading out of a stubborn need to finish what I started. Equivalent to 1 star.
