Status Updates From L. Ron Hubbard Presents Wri...

The Fox, The Wolf, and the Dove - 4 stars. I really liked the characters and the writing style was excellent, the worldbuilding immersive
The Magnificent Bhajan - 3.5 stars. Well paced, with a sympathetic main character and clear story goal.

Useless Magic - 3.5 stars. I liked it!
I skipped the next story because it seemed like it might be demonic and I didn’t want to read that kind of stuff

The Long Dizzy Down - 1 star. Nonsensical writing that made it really hard to follow what was actually going on. There’s an interesting premise buried in there, but it hurt my brain and not in a good way.
The Woodcutter’s Deity - 1.5 stars. Just a strange story. A lot of gross references that were very unnecessary.
The Dragonkiller’s Daughter - 3 stars.

Acquisition - 1 star. A weird, uncomfortable, disturbing story. I’m not a fan :/
Obsidian Spire - 4 stars. Loved the world building and characters. I’d read a novel based on this story!
Gator - 3 stars. Intriguing premise, interesting story, very strange conclusion.
A Glowing Heart - 4 stars. A quietly bittersweet story. Great world building :)

The Devil’s Rescue - 3 stars. Well written, but the MC was very passive.
Tears for Shulna - 4 stars. This one was really bittersweet and possibly my favourite one so far.
The Drake Equation - 2.5 stars. Well written, intriguing, but the final conclusion is one I genuinely hate.

First three short stories finished

Moonlight One - 2 stars. Great premise, but confusing execution. I’m left wondering what the point of the story even was.

The Armour Embrace - 3.5 stars. Emotional, with a well executed twist.

Envoy in the Ice - 3.5 stars. Best writing of the three so far. Interesting and engaging worldbuilding, slightly rushed conclusion.
