Just an ordinary 11th grader writing his profile page, slightly upset at having to type this out again (Repeat after me: Never type anything on FF.net. Always type in Google Docs regardless of value).

For the most part I just read stories here, however I do occasionally post things. When I do post though it is usually a one-shot that I typed up from an idea that stuck with me after I took a shower.

My writing tends to be either hit or miss so I have no clue whether it is good or not so please review. That being said, I am dyslexic and usually do not have a beta; I rely heavily on Google Doc’s spell check. Also while I am not a complete grammar Nazi, I have little tolerance for blatant butchering of the English Language (unless it is intentional by a skilled author).

Stories I like:

Sword Art Online: The first anime I ever watched and a defining keystone in VR stories. The author wrote many excellent characters in this series (I recently had a complete breakdown of happiness after reading Quinella’s introduction in Tap’s latest translation) however he constantly fails at developing them further. Unfortunately the author also tends to overuse Kirito as a main character and resort to cliche harem tactics (Lizbeth still hasn’t added anything meaningful to the story and I wish he never wrote Leafa’s arc in Alfheim).

Accel World: Also written by the author of SAO, Reki Kawahara’s improvement as an author is apparent (as he wrote it after finishing SAO). The concept is one of the best I have seen in VR stories, with the connection between the Accelerated World and Reality as well as a meaningful penalty of death without SAO’s permadeath. Unfortunately the author insists upon using Haruyuki as an unreliable narrator putting a strain on character development. (Kuroyukihime suffers most from this, being seen as perfect from his prospective preventing the readers from seeing her character as she really is. This is why I have the tenancy to write about her the most.) In addition the author often forgets about the character interactions in reality, focusing on their strength in the game.
