Reviews for The Wolf in December |
---|
![]() ![]() ![]() For a while, there's been very few Witcher/RWBY crossovers, and none of them gave as much promise as this one. Short, clear, yet descriptive sentences, a light touch of drama, and in-character characters. No problem on the lack of action. A short story like this doesn't need much to make it compelling. A good call on your part. That said, as short as this is, it will be sad for it to end, but I feel I'll enjoy it all the way. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Well, this seems interesting so far. I loved Geralt and Summer's interactions with each other, and I'm looking forward to seeing him interact with the rest of the rWBY cast. I'm also looking forward to seeing Ciri show up. BTW, I'm assuming that this takes place after the Witcher 3? |
![]() ![]() ![]() No comments about Summer because I have no idea how she should act. Geralt is Geralt though. Good read. |
![]() ![]() ![]() You've got me hooked. Though when does the story takes place? I imagine after Witcher 3 and the expansions. What armor and weapons is Geralt wearing and using? These little details are important in think. I'd think the silver sword should be Aerondight, literally the most famous sword in the Witcher series and for the steel sword. The one Geralt wins in the tourney in Blood and Wine. Just because it's so cool. And for the armor, I think it should be the Viper armor. Simply cause that she the armor you seem him wear in the trailer and etc. |
![]() ![]() Nice start |
![]() ![]() ![]() I like it more please? |
![]() ![]() ![]() Great story I'd love to see more! |
![]() ![]() ![]() - all day,''/all day.'' - /alarm, sleep - good job with the description of his voice - using the word she a bit to heavely here - some descriptions can be stacked together to make a bigger paragraph, while huge blocks of text are to be avoided what you're doing isn't good either, She saw him notice her reaction, she saw... this phrase could have easaly been placed in the paragraps above it, likewise you don't need to make two sentences, one is enough - how does he speak their language so easaly? no accent or jumlbed pharses or anything - a small problem I have is that it takes time to establish where the characters are at the start, in my mind they were just in an empty place, could have been an iglu for all we know, you did a good job describing the house, props for that, sadly the time until that occurs is a bit jarring to time, like I said the initial scenes between the two, without description could well have taken place in an iglu - interesting little tid bit, adding some world details using the dialogue and her thoughts, it isn't anything big however it does give use something about the world without slapping us in the face with it or shoving it down our throughts as others have done - I've only read the first book however I don't remember Geralt ever using the word 'Yeah' might want to change that, earlier dialogue was alright - wrapper her arms around the - the what? the sentece just cuts off there - how did that thing look? we got the hooved feet but nothing else, was he naked? tall? - was wary now-perhaps you can change it to something along the lines of : wary slipped into it's voice/ it's voice carried a hint/tone of wary in it - not al I? was he surprised? what was his reaction? a facial feature, something, - what is she doing this whole time, the last scene had her hugging him, is she still there? - interesting that the same creatures still exist in Remnant, rather odd actually - he really needed to get a ... again you don't need so many short phrases - been okay/been well - well good news is that he's going to gave one hell of a sexy looking wife, young as hell, bad news being the usual stuff, and the fact that sex will probably be off the table for a time - wish a knew/wish I knew - so she was tied to Ozpin's inner circle from such a young age? - and no Grimm attacks while ridding the horse, I guess it's possible - how to Grimm interact with the magical creatures? same kill all policy and burn their shit as with the humans or... - ...like it was nothing, yeah...hunters deal with all kinds of crazy stuff, ape grimm, bear grimm and so on, that creature shouldn't really impress her, unless you're telling me that it could beat down a pack of beowolves on it's own - no half breed babies from all that sex over the years? - really could add more to the descriptions during their short chat at the camp, more about the surroundings and their own expressions bodywise and voice - ...I'm really not sure how Geralt can deal with a large group of Grimm, they are different then what he usually deals with, the first book didn't make him out to be some utter baddass nigh immortal warrior - he's not freaked out why the flying ships? and somehow knows the type of ship as well...not sure when he had a chance to see all of that - why would it matter if he was a faunus? is Atlas being racist here? then he just drops the point... - pretty damn sure they had airships for a long time, her asking what a bullhead is, just seems unrealistic, if they had that damn huge FLYING stadium then chances are that they had smaller ships to get people there and back - where the hell did they leave the horse? you just had them jumping onto the ship and leaving - never say tha/never say that - totally/completly - when was Geralt ever used the word 'Really' - so it's just before their mission to mount Glen? don't know if they will be focused on the mission all thing considered, you can't say that it's after as nothing earlier implied such a thing, the soldier could have mentioned that they were doing security and lucky for them as the Breach occured - nice job with Yang I can see that reaction as something close to cannon - said Ozpin''/said Ozpin. - while the idea is interesting, I'm curious if you're going to focus on Geralt and Summer or shift the focus to team Rwby, I'm hoping it's more about Geralt and some of the other characters - the problem I have is that Witcher cha. seems underpowered compared to what aura wielders throw around, honestly I can't see Geralt getting up after Yang goes full ape shit on him, the Grimm appear to need aura wielders to fighting against them, so Geralt who doesn't have such a thing going up against them seems very odd, almost suicidal, he's a good fighter however if normal people could fight against the grimm then aura wielders wouldn't be such a big thing - here's hoping we see some interactions with Winter - we don't really know what relationship, if any, Ozpin had with team STRQ, Qrow working with him could have happned after the team disbanded and he made a bigger name for himself, Taiyang was never hinted as being tied to Ozpin in anyway shape or form, Glynda didn't appear to know Ruby's parent either, I'm not sure what age she's supposed to be either - do you have a general or detailed story plan written out? - do you have an update schedule? 1/two weeks, etc The Ten Commandments of Reviewing - created by FictionReader98 and Zoneshifter D, post them if you agree and use them yourself 1) Thou shalt point out the parts you enjoy 2) Thou shalt point out the parts you disliked, if any. 3) Thou shalt point out the parts you utterly hated and explain why 4) Thou shalt write with good grammar! 5) Thou shalt not give annonymous reviews, for the authors might want to reply to thine criticism! 6) Thou shalt not flame 7) Thou shalt write a four sentence paragraph minimum! 8) Thou shalt use constructive criticism! 9) Thou shalt review as much as possible, not merely once! 10) Thou shalt voice thine expectations |
![]() ![]() ![]() This story concept is interesting. I would think the mere presence of Geralt might derail the entire Vytal Festival arc, alongside Cinder's end game. The story is pretty solid, but the spelling errors scattered around the story brought it down a couple of notches. Still great though. |
![]() ![]() ![]() BROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!~ THIS THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I"VE BEEN WAITING FOR! Onto more serious notes; Their are a few grammar errors and a little pacing stiff. Feel like you could use a beta reader and what not. Hit me up if you need one. Honestly the only problem I had with the story is how quickly Summer comes back. Like that should've been her ultimate arc, or she kept as a secret to keep Salem's plan from changing yadada. The diaologue is a little wonky at times, and that can be solved, again, by just rereading it (sober... No idea how many times I wrote drunk and didn't check) or getting someone (who is sober... I have terrible friends) to look over it. Other wise amazing, I literally cannot wait for the next chapter. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Interesting start. |
![]() ![]() A little nice short of a story, I am looking forward to more stories like this. Until then, lets see what will happen at the festival. |
![]() ![]() As much as I'm happy that Summer is back with her family it really is sickening that Summer was raped for 12 long years and brainwashed too. Just typing that made me feel awful. I applaud your abilty in writing to be able to make me feel sympathy for such a character. I also applaud your ability to actually tackle that subject matter. If I was writing it I don't think I would have the heart for it or I would write some asspull that she wasn't raped somehow just to make me feel better. Its a well written story and I look forward to more of this but damn I'm not sure if it would be better for Summer to tell anyone or not it just so traumatizing. What makes it even more powerful is just saying that it happened and over the period of time it took place somehow makes the act even worse in my mind. Again this is very well written and I think I look forward to more of this story assuming I can still stomach it. Thank you for the story. |
![]() ![]() very cool |
