Talk:I Have Always Been a Monster/@comment-10789912-20160923224051

This was an excellent tale.

The writing style was grand. The execution, even better. The idea was fairly original, with the villain explaining himself, his origin, and why he did what he did. It's a way to build sympathy without actually having to show us everything in a story as long as the Quran, and the story did a great job at telling "Neil's" adventure.

The story is telling us a fable without taking us directly on it, by giving us bits of the adventure. Just little bites of revenge and the quest involved in getting it. Certain bits seemed to carry on a bit longer than they exactly needed too, but it never got to the point that I wanted to close the story's tab.

I enjoy this type of story telling. The notes that fill in the blanks are found in every genre, but this type of story is instead notes filling in the entire tale.
