Review Detail of 123r97 in Aden Strong: Avatar In DC

I feel like I've been reading this past the point of enjoyment for too long so I might as well give my review on the way out. Writing quality: Pretty good, there aren't any grammar or spelling errors. Characters are able to portray unique personalities and have conversations without any awkwardness and fight scenes are able to be conveyed well. The quality does drop significantly at two points in the story though after the first time skip then an even more significant quality drop around chapter 258. Stability of updates: 5 stars very consistent updates over the course of several months. Story development: Here's one of the main downsides. The story started off a little rocky with adding a lot of drama in order to force antagonistic interactions between characters rather than juggle them all talking. Which is fine, it worked for the story then but they just had characters make constant blunders in order to justify certain emotional outbursts. That said until the time skip the story had a pretty great story going on. Then it feels like the author lost their drive for the story because everything just fumbled around for a few chapters trying to do something like how young justice did their time skip and explaining things that happened during the skip mid-scene leading to a lot of confusing things happening for no reason some of which were still never explained. The pacing also changed dramatically, it's not exactly a spoiler to say the main character learns the elements like the avatar, but the story is coming to an end and they only recently started on their 3rd element like the story was going for too slow pacing in order for the character not to be too strong then just started speed running the plot near the end. Random elements are now just being thrown in without reason or structure like they are just pushing it all out without any attempt at it making sense anymore. Character design: The problem here is all of the DC characters are certainly a version of their character. There are definitely emotionally incompetent DC league members but it's a bit disappointing to see them being THIS emotionally incompetent. The main character also suffers from this problem. They go through this mini-arc about helping their anger issues and achieving an inner balance that just never amounts to anything as the plot speeds up forcing them to make stupid choices again to make it move faster. That's sort of a common theme, characters never change or develop they stay just as emotionally horrible throughout the entire series. World background: It's a ff and they accurately depict a lot of characters, there are a few that are questionable about why there are there to begin with like lost plot threads that were never followed but overall it's pretty well done. Overall, this was a good story that just lost its soul halfway through and seems like it's being forcefully finished but in a really convoluted way rather than taking one of the multiple routes that would have let it end peacefully. It's a shame because besides the last 1/3rd ish the story is pretty good and even had multiple points it could have ended fairly nicely but chose to keep pushing like extra seasons of the show Heroes.
