Re: Potential

Glad I found this site to continue reading all the way to chapter 40. I felt compelled to continue to see the next evolution in the story, although as I read I noticed a definite bias in your approach to the characters. It seems, to my limited understanding as to your intent, you are bias against the male characters. Maybe not intentionally. You portray them as less perceptive and intelligent and only concerned with their dicks and how often they can get laid.The girls/women seem to all be bi but with lesbian leanings emotionally and the only reason they spend time with the boys is to occasionally get laid with the boy's big dicks that can "fill" their vaginas.

Don't get me wrong, I'm always up for a good lesbian love story but I hate to see boys portrayed as shallow teens.

Now for a couple complements. The writing is well done, grammar and spelling good for the most part. It seems someone proofreads, yay. The story as a whole is compelling and I will continue to read this as long as you keep writing. Maybe these young men will have an epiphany in future chapters.

I hope my points are considered constructive and not destructive.

Re: Potential

Seems to be a fairly accurate description of the teen boys I grew up with...

Re: Potential

Yeah, what Eric said.

There are only two male characters, other than John, and they are teenage boys who are only concerned with their dicks and getting laid. If that's the impression you got then I nailed it. Thank you for reading.
Evan is a bit deeper than Jason, and he is intentionally being kept in the dark. However, he is very concerned with the girls in his life and is aware his behavior isn't as upstanding as he knows it should be. That's more aware than I was as a teenager. And everybody keep in mind that I didn't expect this to be anything other than a porn story with a tiny bit more plot than the normal spank story. That was until Eric made some suggestions years ago. That's when things got much harder for me to write.

Anyway, I do appreciate your insight. I'm learning this shit as I go, so every comment has the potential to be helpful. Oh, and in chapter 41 Evan is going to be full-on thinking with his dick when he ends up fucking _______ and _________ at the same time.

Have fun.

Re: Potential

On a scale 1-5 I would give the parts with Evan a 4 and the parts with Jason a 1. So the rating would average out to 2.5. (Chapter 1-20)

It is well written, the textual articulation is pleasant to read and I only had to do some minor editing. The story itself has ups and downs though. I am not interested in reading about dudes having sex other than the main character. Especially if the females are "love interests" of the main character. Reminds me too much of NTR.

The characters are pretty good, I can usually tell them apart based on behaviour or speech. There are things going on outside of sex which I like, since I prefer stories with sex rather than sex stories.

Evan is not a good friend to Jason and Jason is not a good friend to Evan. They should just cut ties.

Definitely what Eric said, but I'll be more specific, soon.

Other than finishing a short scene with X using a horse cock dildo on y, and a lot of editing and proofreading, it's done. Should be the second to last chapter.

I might have lied about that horse thing.

So you have only read chapters 1 - 20?

I always encourage readers to point out errors. I know I make them often, and some of them get past my three-part proofreading process and my proofreader. Once the story is done, I imagine I'll repost all chapters with corrections and consistent formatting.

I don't know what NTR is. As for the sex, I wrote this story for a XXX site that was for posting SEX stories, and there was a wide range of interests regarding the types of sex, so I added lots of sex and different kinks. Some people still as for more sex, and even more of kinks that others aren't so thrilled with. You can't please everybody.

I'm assuming that is a compliment for nailing the types of friendships that high school offers. Maybe that's just me, but I didn't stay friends with any of the ass hats I went to H.S. with.
It would have been realistic if Evan didn't have any friends. Jason served a purpose.

I'm curious, are you an author, avid reader, or professional story critic? I ask because of how specific and insightful your comments are.

I don't know what NTR is.

NTR is an abbreviation for netorare, a Japanese term common in adult visual novels (and probably other places, but that's where I know it from).  Netorare basically is when a love interest of the main character cheats on him.  It tends to be a highly polarizing topic, but my experience has been that it is a very unpopular type of content.

Netorare does differ from sharing, where an MC will voluntarily allow a love interest to have sex with someone else... but I have seen that this content is virtually equivalent to netorare in who likes or doesn't like it.  Meaning, if you like netorare, you like sharing, and if you don't like one, you don't like either.  Obviously there is some deviation, but I don't think very much.

Also, there is a distinction between sharing a love interest with another male, and sharing a love interest with a female who is also a love interest.  This content is more widely acceptable, though there are still some who find it distasteful.

Please note that there is another content type, referred to as cheating.  This differs from NTR in that it is meant to mean that the love interest is cheating on someone else with the MC.  So, if you catch your wife in bed with another guy, that's netorare.  If some other guy catches you in bed with his wife, that's cheating.

The only aspect that I'm still unclear on is, if you are seducing another guy's wife, and she continues to sleep with her husband until you finish seducing her, is that netorare and cheating, or just cheating?  Ah, the intricacies of content codes...

3dsmile

Eric Storm

PS:  I should probably also say that it does matter whether the action happens on-screen or off.  Take the scenario I mentioned where the MC is seducing a man's wife.  If the wife still has sex with her husband, but it is never seen by the reader, this will be far more palatable to those who dislike NTR than if you actually show the scene.  I think the only way the anti-NTR crowd would find that scene acceptable was if it turned from an NTR scene into a cuckold scene by having the MC barge in and take over from the other guy.  But I'd bet even that would be unacceptable to some of them.

Re: Potential

Sorry for the late reply. I don't spend my time on this site because I could not figure out how to filter and sort stories here. I first found Potential somewhere else but there were missing chapters.

Yes, I am all over the place trying to find something matching my preferences. My time is thinly spread out.

Errors were most likely so minor it really is not worth the effort to go back and correct them. I do not remember what the errors were. But if they were distracting or detrimental to the story I would have said so. I am anal about the texts I read so I edit and correct them before I finish reading them.

Yes, completely true.

It would have been realistic if Evan didn't have any friends. Jason served a purpose.

All my friends are from kindergarten or elementary school. So the friends I had in high school are still my friends.  Friends being different from buddies, mates and acquaintances. I am 43+.

I read a lot when I was young. I have edited a lot of texts for people, but never professionally.
