full spoilers so be careful!
Girl, that was so messy ajsjsjsjsj and ok is the last instalment so i´ll elaborate
Honestly props to you for this idea, is very creative and unique and i can see this being quite the challenge to come up with plotlines and storybeats so easily
But baby that was the biggest flaw XD
like you could introduce some interesting plot point for a character ONLY FOR IT TO GO TO WASTE WHEN THEY GOT VOTED OFF AT THE NEXT EPISODE, it's not entirely your fault BUT GIRL
And some characters were way more fleshed out than others because of that and
The biggest murder you did to me was to my girl Naya like by the end WHO IS SHE LIKE REALLY?
i loved her i wanted her to be in the finals with Ravi but when (i think Yazmin?) said that final would be boring i knew i was cooked xd
But what did you do to Naya girl? she went the same path as Memphys by the end AND SHE WAS REWARDED WTFFFF????
Im ok with her playing Yazmin, even Memphys and Jacinto at the end
BUT WHY RAVI???????
And in the penultimate episode I couldn't be shocked pikachu face that she played her only reminding friend only to bite her in the ass because she just got rid of her only ally (like omg my actions have consequences?? who would've guessed??? ) BECAUSE OF ALL THE STUFF WITH RAINBOW
And im not excusing Rainbow turning on her because she thru their collective friend under the bus is understandable, but physically assaulting her is unjustifiable.
But girl that was plot convenient as all hell wtf, i mean its believable but why would you do that?
If you wanted to write a story that covers themes such as those you sit with them and explore them tactfully, not for plot convenience and to brush them off without any lasting consequences
Like you wanted to portray that as Naya choosing to stay because she is "strong now"? but now Naya being in the finally feels completely unearn and hollow
She deceived people, she turned against her remaining friend, but im supposed to just be on her side now?
AND SHE WAS SO SWEET UNTIL THIS POINT, i knooooow her character growth is to be more confident and to know how to be strategic BUT YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO MAKE HER MEMPHYS TWO?!?!
All the things they slandered Memphys in the finale could be applicable to Naya, it's just that Memphys did it the longest, BUT IS MEMPHYS THE ONE WHO REFLECTS ON HIS ACTIONS??? I knew he could and it is kinda sweet to see some glimpses that he will hopefully know better next time (and the veeery end but oh well) BUT NAYA GOES UNSCATHED BY THE SLANDER????
Naya I want to love you so bad but no one acknowledged the shit she pulled, and when Ravi trashed talked Memphys (super earned) he really didn't say shit to Naya??? like at all? so everything cruel Memphys does is acknowledged but for Naya is forgotten and rewarded go iiiiiiiiiit
And Rainbow he's just in the background now, no closure for neither i guess
If you read this far I know dragging on the finale is not quite the look for appreciation, but i do love this novel.
it was so creative!, so funny, trashy, raunchy, sentimental and messy and well, i kept reading.
The opposite of love is not hate is indifference.
i truly hope you polish your work because it is consistently amazing and i hope we can see this characters again (this is said copingly to see if you can fix their dynamics please please please)
I loved Yazmin i think her arc is the gem of the novel by far you can clearly see she is a kind empathetic person that let´s the performance get to her head and you can see her moral conflict of whether do the right thing or the thing that´ll make her win all because she put all her self worth into being a winner into being the best for the audience, and i liked she still performs to the audience but in the end she reflects the only one she needs to please is herself whether or not she can fully commit to be genuily selfasured is yet to be seen but she was a delight to decifer to the very end.
Will be expecting your next novel eagerly but don't force yourself girl rest if you need to, take care, reflect, don't be too hard on yourself and recognize you made something good here, waaaaaaay better than some shitty ai fruits ever could
anyways
i love you, thank you, fuck you, bye
