Hmm.... So far, the story hasn't been developing that much.

It's just joining and having a conversation. But also, there seems to have some related developments like .hack//G.U.

Story may sound a bit "interesting", but it's like nothing different from SIGN and Roots combined together. (which is why I usually avoid fan based .hack fictions.). By the cover, it seems like you were trying to use "bracelet" or more so, trying to lead main character as the holder of some bracelet looking thing. If that's the case, that's just copying the story just changing characters. I am not saying you are plagirizing but the story would be too same that it'd be just boring. You seem like you are adding more details of character relationship in each chapters, but there aren't that much developments. (I'll point out as I keep reading couple of times over and again just to get which parts I was talking about)

Now, you wanted to write a fan fiction based and it seems like you are trying to make a third person novel fiction. Here is a thing. You are chopping off sentences too much. If you read it aloud, you'll know what I am talking about.
She made her in-game character blink,so that she could see.
Ceity had somehow fallen over,and was resting against something.
She got up,and looked over.
She had fallen asleep her,while waiting for Crow to wake up after she had desperatly healed him when she found him dying on the ground.
She saw that she was leaning on his shoulder,against the cape he wore tied around his left arm.She looked up,and saw him looking at her,through the corner of his eye.
She blushed,realizing she had been sleeping against his shoulder,and tried to get up, only to rise to fast and fall backwards.
"Ummm.."She thought of what to say"..Your awake huh?
If you read this aloud, you'll find out that you've chopped couple of sentences which could have been into one sentence. (I've just read this aloud to make sure and it was too short in every sentence that I've had to breathe fast everytime and stop everytime) In other words, there were fragments. If this was a novel based style, then you have to work on it as a novel. You can drop every sentence down.

Also, it's keep saying "She" in every new sentence. That's a bad and dangerous way to write a novel. It's always good to mention the person's name again or say "The girl".

You said "When people do this as a job,it becomes easy.
I'm not doing this ne for money,just for fun,and it's coming out great. " But if this was out of dothackers of fan fictions etc, it probably was viewed as differently than you think. I've written over 6 scripts and it wasn't easy. Don't get it too arrogant about it. You may think it's easy, but it takes a lot of work to fix a lot of parts. If you don't care and you are just doing it for "fun", then anyone can just do it as well. But never say that writing scripts are "easy".

Also when you said writing isn't hard, writing IS hard. Even for a person who was all time PhD English writers can make mistakes. Aside from that, you use colloquial spellings, fragments almost a lot.

If you look through something and only look for errors,you can't breathe in the real story.
I've released 4 novels into the media,so I know what it's actually like to write one,this is something I'm doing in my spare time.

I never said that script writing in general was easy,but I did say that when you do it for a living,or on the side,it becomes almost trivial.
Of course,it varies from person to person,depending on how creative you are.


I would like to thank you also.
You are the first person who has posted critisizm,although I had to lure you here to do it,and I've been asking people to give e some for a while now.

And this isn't just a character swap of the old media's from .hack//,but I'm not going to release the story for obvious reasons.

FYI, it wasn't negative. It's general critique. Unfortunately, I don't think you've ever had those critiques before. I was generally speaking for myself, and trust me. Any good writers or even story writers would have said worse than I did and probably critiqued more than I would have (like Karma). If I did something wrong to speak about critique, I wouldn't have mentioned it. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll speak for what I believe in.

Not a problem. If you need more help, just PM me and I'll skim it and read it through to see if you've made some improvements or did something wrong etc.

I don't usually critique, but when it comes down to people writing creative stories and they want help, I help them out. To suggest and edit something for them.

It's ok JOT,thank you for defending me,but the truth is that I used another thread to lure someone here to do just what was done.
I don't mind critics,and yes,people voting on the poll would help alot,but it's fine if someone wants to do it this way.
It means alot to me that you would back me up though.

continue of last chapter
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Crow brought his sythe down on the glowing trunk of his enemy,cutting a small tear in it's data.
He then retratcted from it as a huge claw swng past him,then took adventage of it's moment of unbalance to strike the shoulder.
Usually the data croe of a monster was in a graphic connection,comething that the data of the creature had to contact regularly,such as a joint in the should,elbow,or knee.By placing itself there,the viral data could latch onto signals from the central NPC data and spread through the creature,but it always had to have it's core intact to remain viral.
He struck the elbow,which fell off of the limb.
There wasn's a trace of the core there,so the chances were that it wasn't in that arm.
The beast turned to Crow,and fired a blast of black ebergy out of it's mouth,which collided with Crow and made a veil of smoke.

Meanwhile,JOT was dealing with his problem,a high class data bug,at least it was high enough to be invisible normally.
It had the appearance off a ghost-like creature,as if a holloween ghost costume had been mangled and torn to shreds,then seewn back together.
JOT was using a special syhte,unique to data managers in the system,which could chop apart viral data.
He hadn't been told exactly how it worked,but he didn't care much either.
The monster he was fighting wasn't particulrly fast,but it had a high evasion and was hard to hit.
It would sometimes vanich and reappear right behind JOT as well.
He used an art on it,which froze i for a second,then cleft a portion of it's hooded head off,only to see that it hadn't phased it.
He struck again,but it dodged.
JOT tried to think of a way to win.reckless swinging couldn't damage it,as well as arts.He needed to do something to confuse it,then strike it's entire body at once.
He thought about the special features his character had in it,but then he remembered the one thing that he could do to confuse it.
Crow's sythe had been knowcked away,and he was using his broadsword now.
The blast that ad hit him had done considerable damage,but only to his right arm.
He jumped against the wall,and rebounded off it to get above the creature,then struck down onto it.
The chainsaw-like sword puntured the entire creature,and the saw on it ripped away at it's data,until the viral core in it's head was found.
He jumped off it,at the creature detonated the way other data bugs did to defend themselves,the drew itself back together again.

Crow charged the triple braclet on his right arm,and aimed it at the beasts head,directly at the viral core.

JOT accessed his inventory,and pulled out the most basic of all items,and the only item that would distract the creature for a second.
"I bet"he thought"that even an experienced player couldn't use the most basic fighting technique as a weapon."
He threw the item at the ground,and it exploded into a veil of artificial smoke,as the "smoke screen" item usually did,then as the beast looked for his temporarily invisable eing,he went behind it.


At the same time Crow fired the beam from his braclet,JOT swung his weapon,and the creature evaporated as the sythe struck it's virus core.
This caused a disturbance in the area,and Crow's attack hit the beast's shoulder,instead of it's head.
Crow fell to his knees,his arm surging with pain,as the creature loomed over him,getting ready to strike him down.
"Dammit...what was that...."
The creature attacked.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anything to say about it would be nice,as I havn't added to this in a long time.

thanks JOT.
I'll have to eventually include Vlaid,Aima(mabye),Loco..again..and move some side character stories along.
I'm still looking for suggestions about the plot,as I'm willing to add small things to it.

They were Everaa's instructions,and they were sent by Ultima due to Everaa's lack of....well....remember where Omega came from and that matter is cleared up.
And I don't meet Aima until way later in the story.
