The bit overstays its welcome ten minutes in and there's four hours worth of story, I don't know if I can watch the whole thing. The new intro is cool, though, I hope it stays.
It's Stephen King syndrome
Serialization. It's a double-edged sword. While it does lower the barrier to entry and the level of commitment to get your work out there, (inexperienced) writers use it as a crutch to lower the amount of work they have to do to the absolute minimum to get their stories posted. Quite literally figuring out the story as they're going along. And the story as a whole (if they do manage to get it completed) ends up a multicolored patchwork of random ideas and executions that rarely add up to any satisfying image. And if any serious issues crop up while writing, then the writer's SOL unless you want to retcon your own work as you're still writing it, DFE, or pretend you never made shit until everyone forgets all about it, and try again. but now you've ruined the surprise and have to step up and make something bigger and better than the last, and who has the patience to go through all that?
A lot of modern media is based on concepts. It's more important to put your hook so people would notice than actually develop an idea to have a satisfying conclusion so people remember it. Naturally a lot of those "cool ideas" end up shitting themselves in short order once the premise has done with and they need to actually open the mystery box.
Is there a difference?
I liked Petscop a lot and the pooner troonshit never really popped out to me. I think it's a bigger reach than people are willing to say because god forbid you tell troons something isn't about them.
Because the story has to end, there's no good endings for most stories and having even an ok one is notable.
I was really glad for this. I fell in love with the Petscop vids but hated how every review of it was full of commie/tranny garbage for really no reason.
There are no outright tranny themes, it's about as tranny as Yume Nikki, if you have played that.
I agree with this. As much as I love Petscop, narratively it is incomplete and I think it's purposeful but not for an artistic reason. I think the creator originally had a coherent narrative but when he saw he had a bunch of rabid tween tumblr-type fans he chickened out in continuing whatever he was doing. I'm certain the narrative was going to be darker and say more about child abuse but the creator dropped it because it would be "problematic." You can see this in how he stopped using the Newmaker name halfway into the videos because people were calling him a horrible person for referencing Candice Newmaker.
Actually a decent story. Hunter is Hunter at certain points, but not as much as last week.
I liked this one a good bit. It has some room for a little bit better dialogue and speeds past or drops some potentially interesting plot points, but handles things well has a nice twist and an ending that isn't total dogshit.
