Writing Quality: 2 stars ---Decent grammar and spelling (relative to this site, not even close to professional grade though). However, the author uses many terms that simply aren't used in Game of Thrones, such as "hey." Stability of Updates: 5 stars ---The stability of updates is rather good. There's a bit of a lull during the holidays but otherwise it's very consistent at the time of this review. Story Development: 3 stars ---Nothing much to say here. The story is only 9 chapters in, and the story development is pretty standard for a Game of Thrones fanfiction Character Design: 1 star ---The main character is ok. However, every other character is essentially just an NPC, with no other reason for being other than granting the MC's ridiculous requests. --- 5 year old MC: "Father, give me a 1,000 soldiers and trainees to use as I wish with no oversight!" --- MC's father: "Sure son, no problem. Anything else I can do for you today?" --- MC: "Yeah, give me some children to brainwash to be loyal to me, despite me not being the heir." ----MC's father: "Sure son, no problem. Anything else I can do for you today?" ---I'm not even exaggerating this. This is essentially how the conversation was written in the story. World Background: 1 star ---Like I mentioned before, some of the words used in dialogue is incongruous with the Game of Thrones setting. Then there's things like the MC dual wielding two great-swords despite not having any enhanced strength. A lot of the small details in this story are incredibly ridiculous and simply don't fit with the setting. And the large details were created by GRRM, so I don't really consider them while rating this story. Thus, one star for world background

LIKEThe changes look good. Thanks for taking the time to edit them. Sorry if my review was harsh. I tried to make the criticism as constructive as possible, but I probably went overboard with some of it. But the story definitely shows potential. I'm looking forward to future chapters...
On the contrary, I wish all the reviews to be as detailed as yours so that I would knew where I need to improve.
greatsword that are meant for combat are not that heavy weighing in at around 6 pounds and mc is just a taller robert so shouldn't be too difficult but the main problem is just that swords would probably get in each others way do to how long they soo a single greatsword would be more practical
and it'll be absurdly suspicious considering how heavy they are and the fact that game of thrones is a world with little to no magic, to the point that even a minor boost is impossible, even lifting a drop of water in the air is impossible, and dual wielding is uncomfortable and unpractical af, as well as incredibly unrealistic.
and the fact that blocking is incredibly difficult, it's just soo much better to have a shield, if you want to boast about your strength, just use a tower shield with your greatsword and get over it.
