《Book reviews *Requests Closed*》'Amnesia' by seaofroses07
Advertisement
Not gonna lie, when I started reading this book, I disliked it. It had 76 long chapters and the plot just wasn't interesting to me. It seemed vague and all over the place. The story was slow and it was like the thibgs that could've been the most interesting where just ignored.
I do have to say that my opinion changed a bit while reading
Let's talk about the plot for a second: the book is about Addison Pierce, a girl suffering from amnesia. She's dropped off at the prestigious Eaton Academy in London. There, she has to deal with Blair, a mean girl who leads a rich group of students who call themselves the Elites, and Caiden, a boy who seems to hate her for no reason at all.
Let me briefly list a few of the (wattpad) clichés I've found in this story:
-amnesia (yes, that's overused)
- prestigious academy
-academy is located in London
-Elite group of students
-bitchy leader of the elites
-(bad)boy who hates protagonist for seemingly random reason
-aforementioned boy is obviously going to be the love interest
-'friend' betrays protagonist for rich girl
-unplanned pregnancy
-smol child who 'is just the cutest'
-protagonist drowns in self-loathing
-barely any diversity whatsoever (everyone's straight and probably white)
- 'psychopaths' who just. Fail to be realistic.
I could go on like this, but I'll stop now.
The characters too. I've already listed some things in the clichés above, but they're pretty much all Mary Sues. I've really seen no one who I really couldn't have found in at least a dozen of other Wattpad books.
In the book's defense, 'cause I'm burning it down a little now: the plot starts making more sense and becomes more interesting in the later chapters and the characters do grow on you. It just takes a lot of time to reach those points and that does raise some red flags: a little more authenticity would be appreciated.

The Grammar and spelling are fine for the most part, but the punctuation could use some editing. It could really do with a lot more commas, please. The story gets a little confusing if you don't add them when necessary.
So if you have a lot of time on your hands and aren't too nitpicky (unlike me) when it comes to characters and plot, then you should give it a try.

My Hero Academia: Pathway to the Top

Finding out it was the world he was thinking of and having little to no memory about his past life, he decided to become the strongest. Just like to point out that I don't own My Hero Academia, it belongs to someone else and all that jazz. Please don't sue me, cheers. Neither do I own the cover photo, if the owner wants it removed, message me. Heavily inspired by another fiction on the site called Ascending Hero by WinterFrost.

The Crystern: Heart of Adventures
The Crystern: Heart of Adventure has been dropped out of the Writathon Challenge and placed on hiatus until further notice, in order to better plan out what's happening and to give me time to work on older projects. Fifteen-year-old Skyler Kadrix III wishes to set off on a journey to find the fabled Cyrstern, a skybeast unlike any other and the origin of the Crystals that grant people special abilities, increase their own abilities, and even allow them to gain Experience and Levels. A promise to his mother has kept him from setting off yet, but he's nearly ready to leave. When he meets Finn, who came with his master, the elf Sara, in search of a relic of the Ancients rumored to have been hidden somewhere on their skybeast, Skyler finds his journey beginning sooner than he'd expected. The journey takes the young boys across the sea of clouds, to various skybeasts and adventures. Whether they find the Crystern or not, they don't care as long as they keep moving forward. Posting schedule TBD upon return. The Sexual Content tag is for once the boys are adults, not while they're still minors. Because of this, it will be a fair while before the qualifying content appears in-story.
