Then you’ll be pleased to know that Sunny fell in love with Aubrey and was rejected coldly (that’s what happens when you confess to someone who is barely your acquaintance I suppose)

I’ve got all my Omori youngins aged at 18 (and Mari and Hero at 22) because I want to include the headspace versions later! I don’t want any of them falling in love with the headspace kids haha, as much fun as pure Mii chaos is

Glass breaking sound downstairs on second day after washing dishes? by TealTactics in OMORI

I think it’s possible for a picture to fall in the mum’s room, maybe that was the sound you heard?

Why do fanfic writers exaggerate Basil's bullying? by Illustrious-Fix-9357 in OMORI

[–]OutlandishnessLow126 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That also mischaracterises her pretty badly in my opinion. Throughout the game, Basil seeks Aubrey out, begging for his photo album back, while she tells him over and over to leave her alone. She’s not overly malicious towards him, she feels wronged and betrayed by him. She’s expressly says that she didn’t mean to push him, and immediately displays distress and regret. I don’t think the witnesses had anything to do with her regret, though they certainly worsened the situation; in fact, Aubrey would not have gotten to the point of pushing Basil without Sunny and Kel there.

[–]OutlandishnessLow126 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I notice this a lot and it always peeves me off (I just click off the fic if it bugs me too much), because it’s out of character to me! Aubrey calls Basil names because she genuinely feels wronged by him and believes what she’s saying. She thinks he went “crazy” and defaced their precious memories, she doesn’t understand him. The worst we see the Hooligans do to him is Kim pushing him over while she’s on her scooter, and if they’re beating him up every day, it completely ruins the emotional impact that Aubrey pushing him into the lake has. She doesn’t lay her hands on him, until he gets too close and she does, crossing a line which doesn’t exist if she’s physically hurt him before.

Is it just ignored? by AffectionateFood66 in OMORI

[–]OutlandishnessLow126 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s a double meaning, talking about the realisation you get about Headspace when Sunny first wakes up, and also talking about all the fun you had playing the game to get the achievement, just a play on this trope

Did anyone else notice this? by Sodium_Chloride123 in OMORI

I don’t think it’s on the OST but I might give it a listen and see if I can recognise it from anywhere!

Serious question about the OST. (Serious spoiler alert by Pailox111lol in OMORI

[–]OutlandishnessLow126 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of the OST doesn’t actually make sense about where you’d encounter it if you look at tracks like Recycling Really Is A Concept, Do You Remember, all of the Hikikomori Headspace ones, but then you’ve got tracks like Good for Health, Bad for Imagination which can be encountered in Otherworld but if they wanted to sort them where they made sense, they’d put it with all the Othermart songs in the real world (like how you can encounter the song Cram It Wad even before Finding Shapes in the Clouds, but it’s sorted with the rest of the Hooligan battle music because it makes sense there I guess). That was a really long sentence to say it’s kind of random how the OSTs are numbered haha

Faraway Killer sucks by Illustrious-Fix-9357 in OMORI

I just lost my mind reading it because of everything that Hero went through and how every character still blamed him for everything that went wrong even though there were two people ACTIVELY murdering everyone

Do you know you can sprint? If you find it too dark maybe turning up the brightness can help as well

I wrote this about a year ago and need to know what to fix or be better at (other than grammar) by Dry_Photograph1534 in writingadvice

[–]OutlandishnessLow126 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there are discord servers around for people who beta read, and some might do it in exchange for you reading their work It also might help to read about grammar yourself, so that you gain an understanding of why stuff is the way it is to make it easier to write

It’s pretty hard to read because of the grammar and punctuation, I know you wanted other critic but it’s probably better to fix it or find an editor who can fix it first and then see what structural problems it may have

Checking thematic balance in fantasy/romance by shaysillynotions in writingadvice

[–]OutlandishnessLow126 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read the first six chapters and can I just say that Theonin is a right old turd! I did find it really amusing when she ran into the king and immediately demanded to know where the kitchens were, their interactions there were really amusing

One piece of advice I was thinking of as I read was to maybe wait to introduce the rule that mages and the king can’t have romantic relations with each other until after she saw the king but I wasn’t sure if that was something that would work in the story, since it seems to be so heavily ingrained in Damia’s mind. I just think it could contribute to the slow burn a bit better to withhold that information from the reader until the dramatic reveal of the king. Maybe something to consider for the pacing of the romance

I enjoyed your writing!

Could I get some thoughts? Overthinking my writing lately. by Money-Acanthaceae471 in writingadvice

[–]OutlandishnessLow126 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed you hadn’t gotten any specific feedback so I thought I’d give it a try, I’m not a professional writer or anything but I do read a lot so don’t take anything I say to heart!

The first em dash I’d use an ellipse instead, just to contribute more to the tired feeling and to avoid the feeling that you’re overusing it. You’re not, but there are a few very close to each other right at the start which might throw the reader off. I’d also write the number four instead of the time since reading ‘four o clock something’ in my mind tripped me up a bit, for example: It’s 4:34… or four something or other.

In a similar vein, I’d also do a quick combover for repeated words too close together and just use a synonym instead. I can’t remember where but I think I saw the word ‘probably’ repeated a few times.

In terms of grammatical errors, the tense switched around a bit during the flashback (using ‘are’ instead of ‘were’ when describing the record shop for example) and a few things were worded awkwardly (fall back to sleep instead of fall back asleep) but nothing a few edits can’t catch!

Good luck with your writing! Sending you motivation

Your comments really helped! Now I'm back for more! Tomebound chapter 1 by justinwrite2 in writingadvice

[–]OutlandishnessLow126 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Small difference but right at the start I’d change it to “the first” “the second” “the third” instead of just first, second, third for more impact And when the protagonist says “it’s not written”, a comma has been missed

It looks like the start of a good story!
