Review Detail of Jason_steel in Game of Thrones: The Lion-Blooded Witcher

Cannot understand a word you've wrote, but okay, I'll give my translation skills a bit of a workout. He doesn't want the Iron Throne because he's a SI (Self-Insert) of me and I wouldn't want the throne. It's got too much responsibilities and I don't want my freedom taken away from me. Not everyone wants to be King - it's a pretty boring job when you can be a kick-ass monster hunter who does what he wants instead. Why should he care about what Joffrey becomes? He also knows that Joffrey's gonna die. So your point is pretty moot. You act like Joffrey becomes an all-powerful immortal and some kind of evil dark lord who makes an evil empire that lasts for a thousand years. Bit of an overreaction, honestly. Overall, this is a pretty sh*t review. Not because it's negative and against my book, but because it's about completely subjective things. None of what you're saying is constructive criticism that I can use to improve my story nor is it about anything objective like grammar or character building. It's basically all your opinion. That's not a review. It's a complain about what you don't like. Comment it, don't put it as a review and bring my rating down. R-tard.

If you don't like the book don't read it. personal I love the book thank you Arthur.

Except some of what he said does make sense, even if his English is terrible. For example, he obviously won't have ANY freedom as a kingsguard—they literally devote their entire lives to standing guard and protecting the royal family. He would not have time go anywhere or any sort of freedom; in fact, he would have much more freedom as king. Making him a kingsguard is one of the dumbest actions you could have taken, and clearly shows your lack of understanding of GoT as a whole—the kingsguard is for life, and means he will not be allowed to take a wife, which kills your romance aspect. There is no precedent for a kingsguard leaving or even being allowed to. It's like taking The Black in that way. Thinking Joffrey would be nice and let him off is also just ridiculous, as the little bastard clearly hates him. And about Joffrey.. you act like Joffrey is destined to die, which means that his appearance in the story will not actually change canon in any way? You already copied a full scene of the Lannisters arriving in Winterfell, so I guess I should expect nothing less. If you're really planning on making canon happen the same way all the way up 'til Joffrey's death, then I don't know what to tell you other than... why are you even writing? What is your SI doing there if he's not affecting anything? Very disappointed with this story and your logic behind your actions so far.

well i didn't read and i won't but an opinion is a review.

No, not really. A review should be from a completely objective viewpoint. Is the grammar good or bad? Is the character development good or bad? Is the overall writing quality good or bad? That doesn't leave a lot of room for opinions. They're simple questions that have a right or wrong answer. You might not like the use of character development but if it's good, it's good. That isn't up to opinion. Reviews are supposed to give an author constructive feedback so they can improve their stories. They shouldn't give the author grief because they're taking the story in a certain direction even if they personally don't like that direction. As soon as you bring personal opinion into a review, it loses all credibility as a source of feedback and really just becomes 'I wanted this but I didn't get it so now I'm throwing a tantrum' from the reader making the review.

I mean, if I could have been arsed to continue writing this fic, it would have gone like this: Robert's on his death bed, MC asks him to release him from the Kingsguard as a final wish. Robert allows it and it's followed through because of the eye witnesses of this in Cersei and Jaime being there. So, Joffrey plays no part in the MC getting out of the Kingsguard. Why did you even assume that?? I don't get why people love to assume things about a book they have no productive hand in. It's genuinely absurd. You're pretty much saying you know more about the book than the author writing it and I've never seen such crock of sh*t in my entire life. Also, wow, one generic scene was copied so I'm therefore by default going to copy everything from the show? Jesus Christ man, stop taking one outlier and thinking it's the average. It's the most annoying thing people do on this site. Honestly, the story hadn't even gotten through the first episode and you're already saying the MC isn't affecting anything?? Again, the biggest load of sh*t I've ever seen. Seriously, I don't know what to say to you other than...why do you keep making assumptions? What are you doing here if all you're gonna do is take stabs in the dark? For all you know, I could have been planning to stop the abuse of Sansa, help Arya get stronger quicker, and maybe even speed up the death of Joffrey so it happens a year earlier or maybe even quicker. Maybe, just maybe, I was leading my readers astray so they didn't expect certain twists I had prepared. But whatever. Things we'll never know, huh?

Dude I don't even remember a single thing about your story anymore, why are you responding to this 5 months later? Who gives a fúck? From what I can see you were a shít writer who wouldn't stop defending their terrible decisions, and it looks like that's still going on. It's okay to be bad, just learn from your mistakes. Move on.

No bro you're stone okay ? If i tell you it's good, it doesn't mean it's an universal truth okay ? When i make a review in which i say the character development is bad, it just mean that FROM MY POINT OF VIEW, it's bad. Srsly if you take all the review as an universal truth then you life make no sens and it must be ****ty as hell.

Yeah, gonna have to complete agree with this guy. Art is very much subjective, and there is no "universal truth" no matter how much you may want there to be. Sure, something like grammar and syntax can be measured against the rules of the English language (and even that can be bent for more "artistic" works/styles in some cases, though it's hard), but things like character development, plot arcs, general writing style, view points, etc. etc. are all completely up in the air and extremely case-by-case and wildly varying from person to person (even between "professional" reviewers and readers/writers). Styles, ideas and executions of stories are constantly changing. Sometimes something is in fashion, and it will be taken as the "correct way" for a while, until someone else does it differently, but very well, and people start copying that instead. There is no such thing as perfection in writing, it's all about creativity, hooking your readers and making your product work as a whole. So when looking at reviews—especially so when in a public forum like this—you are looking at /how people feel about your story/; how reading it made them react; how they experienced it; how they may think it could be done better to make it a better experience for them personally. There is not going to be a truth you can extrapolate from that, other than that reader's individual truth of how they experienced your story. So you can read a review, look at your story, and decide whether or not the advice/criticism/praise/flame/whatever they gave is worth guiding/changing the story or future stories for. It's a learning experience, and it's uncertain and hard work, and no one is going to hand you an easy answer. Man, this got way longer than I meant to.
