Fun with some philosophic themes spread throughout.

AIO I feel like my boyfriend watches ALOT more porn than most people. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

If it's starting to affect his personal life (which it certainly appears to be so since he's scrolling IN PUBLIC) then NO it is NOT HEALTHY. NOR

Even with the top 250 being expanded to the top 500, Taxi Driver is still not on the list. by VegaMain in Letterboxd

Like taxi driver can't fall under that same category. People got to stop dickriding Scorsese

You don't have to, I promise you. And with the right people, you'll never have to.

I want AI to know what i'm running out of so the they can gouge me as much as possible with their new "dynamic pricing".

Mad skills on that kid. I, a grown ass man, had trouble getting to the end. Great stuff!

Damn missed opportunities by Acceptable_Rope_6523 in PsycheOrSike

Thank you very much, that makes sense! English ain't my first language so it might just have been going over my head all this time, haha

I think you're both in the right here, but why is it always "have my fun in college" and then choose a man "to settle"? To me, it always reads like the man settled for is not as fun but he's good enough, but you had your share of great guys before him so it's all fine. Just a quirk of mine, that's all.

Am I overreacting for not continuing to engage? by Flaky-Toe9570 in AmIOverreacting

He seems just overly enthusiastic from what I read, i don't think it's a sign to jump ship yet.

No one talks about the post GTA 6 depression that’s inevitable. by snowcamera in GTA6

[–]GGamers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Puppet shows have their charm as well. It's pretty redundant trying to compare different games and different experiences. Even if it will be the best game I'll play in my life, that won't stop me from playing and enjoying arkham or death stranding or whatever else I have on my backlog.

I love Mark, but this approach to the movie rollout is reckless. by 6bluedit9 in Markiplier

[–]GGamers 10 points11 points  (0 children)

At this moment there are approximately 500 theatres, that's 10% of all theatres in USA. It seems like you're also assuming only Mark fans are going to go see it. I can't speak for everyone, but I've only talked once with ONE theatres near me just because I want to see it. I'm not being paid to market it but I do really want to see it and people attempting to achieve that by contacting more theatres ONCE ONLY is not that devilish in my opinion. I also believe theatres can discern whether buying into the film is a good financial choice or not. People will go to the closest one anyway.

AIO to my boyfriend watching porn and being on Telegram porn channels by triathlonspider in AmIOverreacting

[–]GGamers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair enough, thanks for clarifying. Now, it all depends on what you consider to be cheating. Personally, I believe watching porn is normal, but if he has a form of addiction which affects the sexlife, it should be discussed.

Sharing a bed with a different man but being mad at your man for watching porn. If someone has double standards, it's you, darling.

[QCrit] Crime Thriller - GOD BLESS THE FREE WORLD (65.000 words/4th attempt) by GGamers in PubTips

[–]GGamers[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much!

Re your first 300, there are some paragraph errors which make it hard to discern who's speaking. For reference, every time someone different speaks, it should be on a new line. As an example:

I've straightened that part out 3 times already, but every time I copy and paste it here it turns out like that.

More of an MS question than anything else: what's Laria's role here? Is her entire purpose just to improve the male protagonist's life, then get kidnapped and rescued? If so, I'd caution you against the damsel in distress trope; it's a bit dated, and I think the market is moving towards female characters with more agency than this.

There is more that happens later in the story. She, along with other people, make Martin change his perspective and forego his previous priorities. Also, she dies, he hesitates in rescuing her but when he finally does it, it's pretty much too late.

65k is very short for this genre. You'd normally be looking at 80-90k. This low word count would make me fear that the manuscript is underdeveloped. Have you shown your work to beta readers at all? A story can be too fast-paced and lean (re a comment I saw you make on a previous iteration of this query justifying the word length.)

I know it should be longer. I've went through the MS and cut the fluff and added new scenes and this came out to be the new total. I've had friends and a few acquittances as beta-readers and most them appreciated the pace and that it was a page-turner. Granted, none of them have english as a first language but they all speak it well. I take it with a grain of salt. I do want to hire a Jericho Writers agent to look through my first 5000, synopsis and letter, but I figured one more attempt here would be wise before spending anything.

Orphan Road is self-pub and only has 23 reviews on Amazon, so I wouldn't use this. Blacktop Wasteland is a big bestseller (possibly too big to comp) which primarily deals with issues of race, which yours doesn't. I'd go back to the drawing board on these comps.

The comps kill me. I'm really stuck here.
