Chainlinked by Rainy Cacti

Danny and Hunter have been best friends for a while, and although they follow different paths after high school, they stick together. But what’s keeping them together might be something more than just friendship.

rating: 4.5/10

I think this one is generally cute, but that’s about as far as it gets. Because the initial set-up is one asking out the other rather than following a typical build-up structure, it's hard to get really into it: the audience has no context for what motivates the characters to do or say the things they do, and this trend follows for most of the story. The pacing and dialogue feel a bit clunky, and there's not a lot of depth into what makes the characters interesting or worthy of being the main characters at all. It sort of feels like the whole coming-out, new-romance timelines are done on speedrun for the sake of emotional conflict without deeper nuance, and the telling:showing ratio is way off, even for a slice of life. I like the art style of this one a lot, it feels very natural and I find the linework really satisfying; the colors are warm and fun and the character designs and style are all great. But as a whole, it feels like it's just going through the steps that a romance story tends to follow without a deeper exploration into its characters or their actions, which makes it feel pretty cringeworthy. I think queer comfort and openness are really important to portray, but not when it feels like there’s no substance. I don’t get why you would want to tell a story if you don’t actually have anything to say.

I gave this one points 2) worldbuilding, 3) nice backgrounds, 7) genre awareness, 8) thematically appropriate language, 10) lack of same-face syndrome, 11) lack of cookie-cutter syndrome, 12) racial diversity, 14) visuals-colors, and 16) bonus art point. I feel bad that I don’t have more to like about it, like it genuinely is very cute and I think the art is fantastic, but that can’t save the story, and there really doesn’t feel like there’s anything going on to make it, well, interesting. My biggest critiques summarized are points 4) pacing, 5) building themes, and 6) character depth because I think those are the things that make it really hard to connect with. Again, all my personal opinion and I haven’t stopped reading it, either. I don’t think it’s actually terrible, it just doesn’t really leave a strong impression.
