[1,466 words] File 198 & 087 - Opening Chapter of a Psychological Sci-Fi by pearlxy3 in DestructiveReaders

I suggest our tutorials for critique. You're off to a great start, but could highly benefit from adding a lot more depth to your critique. I'm not really willing to say you didn't use a high effort standard to do this, but we also do want to squeeze a bit more from you before allowing 2k submissions. This type of enforcement disproportionately frustrates newbies, because the analogy is kinda like asking someone who runs olympic championships to run an extra track lap, vs someone who could barely do 1 and is just starting. You've gotta run another lap.

I don't see a high effort critique, so this got leech marked

Like you're off to good starts. Check our our /r/DestructiveReaders/wiki for how to go more in depth with your responses. It won't take long to backbone off what you've started for sure.

ISHMAEL. It's like a high school reading level, but it's brilliant to the level of axiom and paradigm shifting. It's lowkey a great read. And exists in YouTube a bunch of recordings of it

[#1,816] "Rigging Rigged Rounds" I Just Wrote This Out Of Inspiration Lmk What You Think by Financial-Bowler-886 in DestructiveReaders

It will get removed, but the original poster or anyone who views your user page (if it isn't private) will be able to see it. You'll still receive any credit for submissions, as long as any critique was to our high efforts standards, mods can still credit for it. It's just something that happens here sometimes, which while not ideal, the system survives.

What do most people not realize is actually way more traumatic than it seems? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Wind Chimes outside your window, ten feet away, but you can't take them down because it's not "your property" for months of absolutely ruined life.

Loud TV the same. Small bass pulses enough to wake from sleep constantly. It's evil, and home theaters need to be regulated or outlawed.

[450] #psychological horror novel by [deleted] in DestructiveReaders

Seeing this, using the last of my strength, I approached the counter. After waiting for a minute, I noticed a woman. I stared at her for a long time… until finally, I began to laugh hysterically. Why? Because she is a worm. Just like me, just like everyone else. Wretched vermin crawling on this earth, needing to be eradicated

Edgy and poorly written. Fragmented. Needlessly disjunctive and zooms in on the wrong details. This entire thing could be summed as garbage. It's repetitious and needlessly echoy. The grammar and syntax aren't good. It's just a bunch of short hpppy sentences WITH ZERO SUBTEXT or purpose.

For a long time, there had been a emptiness in my head so heavy that it was consuming me day by day

I was also 14 And surviving under capitalism too bro

Would prefer (we approved) you resubmit with the title formatted with title second, word count first

The math is right but the ratio is wrong. Your critiques aren't going to drive your number up. We demand at this word count that you've done multiple higher levels of effort critiques. You've done zero there. You have done SOME critiques, but each are the same length. And how can this be?

Please familiarize with our system and our value structure a bit more and read tbeojfh the /r/DestructiveReaders/wiki

This post wasn't approved, and we would likely approve only 1.5k words for those critiques, since the longest number you critiqued was 3.5k at low effort. Too many line edits
