This is actually so poorly written it’s unreal. I keep hoping the characters will develop properly just for them to get even worse. Really incredible how people will let sexual abuse slide if the guy doing it is hot
Heavy on the last sentence
piss poor “modern” take that could be really cool conceptually but ruined with cheap gags and trying incredibly hard to be funny. If you want to write a romcom then you probably shouldn’t use characters from Greek tragedies because their backstories are a wild tone shift that doesn’t work at all. I get that it’s supposed to be modernized, but it really feels like Achilles is an entirely different person from who he is supposed to be; you do not get the feeling that he is centuries old at ALL, it really feels as if they slapped on the name and the tragic backstory of the Greek hero on just some guy. Also it kinda grates on me that Achilles has black hair when he has always been depicted as blond. If you like the story and romcoms, glad it’s for you. If you want an actually good story, you’re better off reading the Iliad
Have your opinion and all but why are you grating over a simple hair color change its not that deep
It may not be that deep, I just feel like if you’re replicating an iconic character it makes sense to replicate their iconic characteristics as well. His hair color doesn’t bother me as much as the weird balance of comedy and sad backstories that don’t correlate at all
Thank you for your comment!
I'm actually looking for something good.
Happy to help :) it is just my opinion after all, so you can take everything I say with a grain of salt, but I just personally didn’t find this story to be all that well written. I still think if you like romcoms that don’t take themself seriously you might still enjoy the story, but if not, I suggest not bothering. Good luck with finding something you like!
