    Although it is a slight improvement over the last story, this one touts the same problems as the other. Lack of a strong plot, chunky and unflowing, its hard to follow at times, and downright confusing at others. There is however improvements from the last story, though still many areas that need growth.

    This paragraph isn't as bad, my main criticisms come with the beginning, the descriptions of the stomach pain, once again, you guessed it, clunkiness, and finally at the end with the numerous spelling mistakes.

    I was always a daredevil as a kid, I never knew when to give up. When I was little I had a problem with my stomach, it caused me so much pain, but regardless I still made it to every class at the local martial arts dojo. I got my ass kicked every time, my body was just too weak to be worth a damn in a fight. After every class I had, I would go home feeling fatigued, even working out sometimes was too much for me to handle. My body couldn't handle what I wanted it to do, no matter how hard I tried. As nice as I was, and as nice as everyone was to me, I still resented them all in the back of my head. Why did I have to be born so weak? Why was I so weak? I mean nothing was ever wrong, my life was great, yet I felt so isolated. My family line had no problems, why did the one with problems have to be me, I was born with things set up for me, yet no madder how hard I tried, I couldn't live up to my family expectations.

    Why is it labeled Chapter 2: Chapter 1.5, either commit to it being Chapter 1.5, which is a bit weird, or commit to Chapter 2.

    In regards of my past.

    So I mean once again quite clunky, you don't need to write purely in block paragraphs, and the plot here is a little confusing after the last paragraph, you could probably explain more. It feels a little rushed overall.

    I finally decided on my pick, I was going to bring her back to my house and help her recover. I began running again, but something hit me. I'm just with a random girl I've never met; held tight and snug in my arms, I didn't even understand what I was doing. I ran through the rain, my legs were burning but the light rainfall soothed the pain. As I ran and ran, it felt like it was going to be an eternity until I reached my destination, My body was reaching its limit. Suddenly, as I was about to give up and fall to the ground, the girl woke up and looked directly at me. She wasn't confused, all she did was look at me and smiled.

    Still very clunky, it needs to flow a ton more. Currently it feels like almost like reading pointy stuff, if you get that. Its clunky, and sharp, and needs to be more flowing and smooth. Overall improvement from the last story however.

    It all began on a Tuesday morning, I was on my way to school. The sun was so bright it shined threw my sunglasses and the sky was a crisp blue that just made me feel like today was going to be great; little did I know this day was going to change everything. My walk to school was long and boring, I just listened to music and enjoyed the same old scenery of trees and rice fields I get to see every day. Today was a nice acceptation, though. The cherry blossoms were blooming, and the blossoms looked beautiful as they waved around with the addition of the cool breeze. I started walking down a side road, but I saw a girl on the ground, she had long wavy brown hair and seemed short, as I got closer I noticed they hurt her; I ran over there as fast as I could. When I finally got up to her, I noticed there was somebody sitting a few feet away; It was a random person dressed in all black, with a ski mask that gave me a pretty bad vibe. I asked what they were doing, but they walked. He walked right past me and up to the girl; he stabbed her in the shoulder; I watched the blood pour out in total shock. After taking a better look at the girl, she had bruises and cuts all over her. It was clear she was trying to protect herself, but failed. I decided it was time to take matters into my own hands and started running and the man; I threw a punch that hit his jaw and sent him back a bit. He still didn't budge at me. He looked at me and finally spoke.

    For a new writer, writing can be daunting. You have ideas in your head, fully fleshed out and detailed, and the hard part is finding a way to properly convey those--often quite personal --thoughts in a productive way. I can see where your coming from in your writing, the thought is there, the execution, not so much. Its quite clunky, with sentences cut off short and feeling unfinished and rushed, thoughts written down, and abandoned halfway. Something I would recommend is to read more authors, and try to emulate how they build their sentences and paragraph structure, it doesn't need to be a solid block of text, it should ebb and flow. Also, try and use more commas. I mean what sounds better, "The man ran outside. It was bright and sunny out." or, "The man ran outside, into the bright sunlight." or even just remove the comma, just try to avoid really short sentences unless under specific circumstances. Maybe also tone down the descriptions, especially for the part about the video game, it felt like it went on too long, and although its integral to the story, it could improve in many areas. I would be sinning also if I didn't mention the dialogue, please, please, just use quotation marks, and descriptions of speech. Nobody writes like 'Mary: How was your day Bill? Bill: It was good Mary' you use quotations, '"How was your day Bill?" an elated Mary asked, "It was good Mary", he responded.' Of course that's not high quality writing right there, but you get the point. Although it may have seemed like I was here tearing apart your writing, everyone starts somewhere. The best advice I can give is to just read more, expand your horizons of authors and genres, and try to either emulate how they write, or create your own combination of theirs, just stay away from clunky, hard to read writing.
