Sorry I didn’t realise I got it because I don’t check my inbox often 😅
I’m going to go buy chapter because then it is easier to get through for me. (Btw I am terrible with giving feedback for work so sorry if it comes across as generic )
Edit: i realised i started writing like my English teacher in secondary and that is traumatic to me so im moving the feedback to the top.
Over all the story actually has substance. Not in a rude comparing way but in a way that shows development between the reader and their relationship with other characters. It hasn’t deviated much from the plot as the story is still in its early stages and there is still time to progress within the story. The flow of the fic is there and it flows pretty well between chapters. If you want to work on the flow more I recommend writing on a word document so you can visually see the flow a bit better in chapters. But all together the story actually flows smoothly and you can see relationships forming and changing as the story develops. In summary it’s well written all I have to say is check on grammar as you go and work on the spacing between paragraphs as sometimes the paragraphs get a little bulky to read. But you good after all that bud
Ch1. Right off the bat, you painted a very clear picture off the atmosphere of the story. Instantly the reader compares Gotham with other cities that seam to have is better than them by some small differences that are depicted to be on a larger scale to the reader. Despite that the reader does still consider Gotham their home because the have an anchor to it (their mom).
Dispute the reader having their mom as an anchor position of some sort. The mother is not that present due to taking on more responsibilities to be able to provide for the reader.
later on we do see a shift in the reader’s perspective as a major character event does happen and the reader is kinda moved to a gray area as they now have learn to be in a new environment that’s COMPLETELY different from their original environment.
Ch2. As the reader is exploring the new environment that they are put in we get introduced to the other characters and we already see the first few puzzle pieces of neglect fall into place with promises not beings fulfilled and personalities occasionally clashing against each other even though their are bonding moments weaved in there.
In summary we see the beginning of the relationship between the reader and the some of the characters (the Batfam).
Ch3. We go off to Bruce’s perspective looking back on the relationship he had with the reader’s mom and why he was never contacted after that night. We see some guilt building when mentions of the possible abuse that the reader faced. But in true Bruce fashioned in these types of fics he doesn’t do much looking.
Then their is a slight time skip when the reader has essentially established a routine with their life now and has started to get used to the neglect/ dismissal of some of the characters and the public while building a steady relationship with Jason and Alfred.
Dispute that, the reader still faces a sense of being alone within the manor. The reader talks about with Jason but never actually feels reassured by the end of the conversation.
Ch4. The reader has memory’s of their mom and their actual behaviour to the reader but the reader shows a type of denial as they believe that the version that they are now remembering does not align with what they originally believed. A small trauma response that adds levels to the reader perspectives on relationships.
As the reader dreams they start to feel like an entity of some sort is watching them. Even though the reader can turn their attention to it fully they still sense that the entity is watching them like an experiment in a way.
We are than introduced to a new character Khonshu who is instantly introduced as a deity looking for a vessel of some sort. They show interest in Bruce who then turned away form the offer and it keeps happening until the deity turns their attention towards the reader.
