Everything GREAT About Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney!
Author's Note: Hello, everyone! After reading PierceTheVeil's Ace Attorney Sin fics, I've decided to do a positive "review" of each case, barring both DGS games, in the vein of CinemaWins, the polar opposite of CinemaSins. PierceTheVeils, if you're reading this, thank you for inspiring me to do this!
