Greeting all you here and there on the forums and elsewhere!
Warning this is a LONG read! (Summed up at bottom)

It is I, the great Neko… whom none of you know or have never heard of.

I just wanted this public so people could comment and ect.

Being a amateur writer and avid webcomic enthusiast I thought I might say a few things about this webcomic!

I’d like to praise this comic is several categories and constructively criticize it elsewhere, if you do not mind. Since I’ve read it’s entirety in just under 4 days I noticed a few things:

A Positive: The plot is REALLY well thought out. Taeshi, I commend you for the great structure you’ve presented. Seriously. This is the most well thought out comic I’ve read.

A Negative: You do tend to sometimes abruptly change pace/setting/story without much segwaying. I just got lost a few times when the plot jolted. Not very common, but just a note.

A Positive: The characters are very well portrayed and realistic. I find I can easily parallel them with the kids I knew in Highschool. So far NONE of the characters seem “forced” (unless you intended them to be). Seriously well done and thanks for it!

A Negative: Updating is only 3 times a week. OK, this one doesn’t REALLY bother me as 3/week is really good. I just want MORE of the great storytelling that you give!

And to leave on a positive note: Your plot, while well thought out, is also varied. you Don’t just stick to one character or theme and you constantly are building a more thorough universe that is VERY immersive! This world you’ve created is AMAZING. Characters flow in and out naturally and that is no hard task!

Overall Review:
Amazing work! 9/10 and wonderful! Keep it up and I look forward to reading as the tales unfold! Go Taeshi go!

P.S. Sorry about the long read again, but I couldn’t help it!

You should totally post that review in one of those webcomic review sites like thewebcomicslist or something, because it could really help us! I remember a time back on DeviantArt when Souppy requested people do that.

Thanks a million! I really appreciate it :D And yeah, I admit the old chapters were jumpy because it was just silly aimless comics initially.. I don’t think things are gonna bounce that irregularly now, there’s a lot of chapters that follow others.. so I hope the transitions for the future are smooth enough!

I wrote a review in my [now-dead but still gaining hits] blog just when I discovered the comic (which was around three and a half months ago). Never thought of posting it in TWC though. Will be doing that in a jiffy :)

@ Skyline: If you’re lacking in blog content, you should totally post all your edits in one. You’re fucking hilarious enough on your own that you don’t really need a context.
