Reviewing staples.

It occurred to me that a lot of people say "original" when what they mean is "unusual."

^^ I have to admit I only realized it because I do the same thing myself.

Serebii is a soulsucking pit of horror and graphics. I found it's easy to translate FFN reviews, though.
Fanbrat to English:
Good writing = I could read it
Original = I just read the same story ten times by ten people and this is different
Original writing = I couldn't read it but the other reviews said it was good.
Cute story = I can't say anything positive but you demanded a review
Sad story = I can't say anything positive but you demanded a review
Awesome = review my story, damn you.
You're a great author = other people mentioned you somewhere
This sucks = I couldn't find anything wrong but I don't like you
It was bad = I'm trying to commit suicide and wish for help in the matter
KAWAII!!!! = I am not capable of reading but enjoy pressing buttons

XD That's excellent. I have so much trouble trying to figure out the code, sometimes.
