I'll add more thoughts later when I have more time but I had to say that I loved everyone's entries and their portrayals of the robots!

I should really know to re-read comics before commenting because apparently I forgot that you DID use different colors for the different storytimes lmao. Ignore that bit of the comment whoops

Pizza, I've always been a fan of your humor and this was no exception! I'm a sucker for this kind of storytelling, where the story changes based on the perspective of the person telling it. I really liked the touch of making the art style different for each character's tale (though I'll agree with some of the others in that I feel like you could've pushed it just a little bit farther to be more noticable--or else used a different color palette depending on who was telling the story at that point?), and the constant interrupting got a good giggle out of me!

I really like your use of long scroll format here, especially on page 1 when Dairyu is telling her part of the story! The setup of this comic revolving around unreliable narrators is really interesting and clearly has plenty of space for comedy lol, this got a few real laughs out of me. In terms of critique I would like to see more focus on backgrounds from you! Typically I would recommend having at least one clear establishing background per traditional page (though admittedly, I don’t know how that guideline adapts to long scroll format, so maybe someone else can weigh in there). This was a really fun comic overall!

I had a lot of fun reading all these comic! Loved all the portrayals of Songbird. I feel like Pizzaman got him the closest. It had me laughing pretty good. I loved all these though. Everyone went very hard on heavy weight!

Sorry these aren’t too in depth but here you go; Pizzaman: Loved the storytime storyline, and good job on the long scroll format! The only thing I wanna recommend is using the ellipse/circle tool for text bubbles, the odd shapes were throwing me off a bit Selevan: Excellent work on the character depictions and action, good sir! But I agree with Jelly in that there’s things left unanswered but the end of the comic. Maybe that’ll be in another comic you got planned but as a stand alone it can confuse peeps. Keep up the good work tho Jelly: Despite the fact these are sketches, they work so well as lines I had no trouble following along! Your panel work is stellar and your story amazed me, wonderful job! Fluff: I was laughing through this entire read, your comedy is always amazing! I loved your portrayal of everyone and your minimal palette~ Snowy: This has gotta be one of your most outstanding comics yet! Everything was so on-point, and I’m happy to see a different side to her than normal! Super excited to see more!

I like the setting being an interrogation! With what happened being revealed over the course of the comic through (sometimes flourished hehe) recounts I have to highlight what Jelly said in the previous comic, with the retellings being in a different style being so cool, although only properly noticeable through consecutive re-readings. Overall enjoyable read tho!

MY favorite aspect of this is how the art style changes depending on who's telling the story. That being said, I wish that aspect could have been pushed a little bit more. For Harrison and Quicksilvers sections the style shift is obvious, but I didn't actually notice it was happening INTIL I got to those two parts, and then went back to check. On first viewing the changes can be seen as just some natural variation within your art style, so making the effect a bit less subtle would have gone a long way, I think. I also agree with snowy that some things could have been presented clearer if the artwork was tightened up a bit, and I think that might have also addressed the previous point, as well. I agree with the common consensus that the writing and premise is fun as hell. One of the biggest challenges of any Royale is finding a way to fit everyone in, and this is a clever narrative solution.

I gotta say, this was extremely entertaining to read! The writing is very good! I don't mind the art either as it seems to fit very well with the whole vibe of the comic. There was also a lot of creative use of panels in here that I dug. There are little nitpicky things that could improve it like making sure there's enough breathing room inside the word balloons and such. But those are really overshadowed by the sheer fun of the comic. Now I'd be very curious as to what you could do if you just decided to give your absolute best effort, without a deadline with the art side to see how you could improve on that bit. As that's really the only thing I can think of off the top of my head that I would look to improve upon (which really, we all should strive for). Really well done! If memory serves me right, I think this is one of the rare occasions I voted a 10 for entertainment (and I don't give out 10s often.)

The humor in this is so top notch, I loved how everyone was interrupting each other and inserting their own views of the others characters into the stories. The expressions were great as well, I just wish you could have polished some of the panels up a bit because the humor is so nice!

It was a funny comic and I'm glad you managed to get as much as you were able to. Poor Harrison.

Incredible effort from everyone! I've had little time to indulge in comics and art lately, so I apologize if my comments on each of the entries are brief PIZZAMAN- The stylization of some characters specifically is very fun and appealing. I liked the whole aspect of everyone telling their own story. The dynamic between characters was hilarious SELEVAN- The vougue-like cover already had me invested in what was gonna happen with Harrison. I got really excited when Harrison climbed on the train's roof to avoid crossing that door. Such a cool Western Spaghetti easter egg. I always like seeing characters be polite to others, even if they get in the way of their goal SIRJELLYRAPTOR- I'm a big fan of your art style, and regardless of your entry being considered sketches; the creativity with how you play with the panels and the line weight makes it feel as if it's inks instead. I'm always impressed with your work. Specially it (seemingly) being made with a ballpoint pen. Amazing work at dialogue, too FLUFFS - Holy shit your entry put a big ol' smile on my face lmao! The Zelda CD-i reference in the begining grabbed my attention right away. And then I read what was going on and got doubly excited! I am incredibly flattered and thankful for the cameo and references to my idiot himbo. Songbird's constant hatred for Swan will never cease to be hilarious and I love him for it. The scene with Songbird and Harrison trying to fool Dairyu was so endearing and funny SNOWY - The quality on your entry is absolutely stunning. Your inks seem to be getting even better with each comic I see from you. I really digged the expressions and body language in this! And seeing Dairyu starting to get overzealous over her family is both exciting and terrifying. These 'new' sides from her are very intriguing but I also worry about my fave air goddess- the words you ended the comic on would be very wholesome on another context. I really like how foreboding Dairyu's stories have been
