I feel bad giving it a lower rating because I can tell the writer worked hard on it, but it was kind of a rough read. I was not able to finish the story. My biggest complaint is that the narrative changes from present to past tense and back again very frequently. I also felt like the descriptive language was over-the-top & awkward at times. I would encourage the writer to keep at it, it is obvious that they have the potential to write a great story & just need to refine their skills.

The story is okay, but it's not fully functional. There are quite a few typos including some in the code that cause things like relationships being ruined due to a lack of a + operator to happen. It's also a bit lazy with the three relationship choices. It's written mostly the same for all of them and just changes their pronouns (when the author remembers to).

Storytelling was half decent in the beginning but spiraled very quickly. Lots of errors in the writing and the linear storyline is horrible, even the stats seem to serve no purpose.
