'SPOILERS! DONT READ IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE STORY YET! '

Well. I'm pleasantly surprised this appeared in Recent Activity. The introduction is a good preface to what the story will be about; in other words, it made me interested enough to keep reading. Each chapter, I feel, has a purpose, and fluently progresses the story. Everything feels like it "just" belongs in the story. The only thing that was a major cliche is the "stuff coming out of protagonist's speaker" bits, but those are few and far between and [somewhat] justified.

I think a main part of a story being focused on who is/isn't admin/bureaucrat reminds me of the wiki itself, and how we carefully pick out people for each role due to the troubles we faced in the past. Also, how Torran is revealed to really be a terrible person through his alt reminds me of how people who seem to be nice on the wiki end up like all the other "bad apples".

The theme of being "silenced" is a scary prospect, the fact someone could possibly be silenced online, never to speak again, is chilling. Their words show up, but are not shown. It's like speaking with duct tape over your mouth. Your words come out, but can't be heard.

TL;DR: Reminsecent of the wiki, smoothly progressed, main theme is scary.

FINAL SCORE: 8.5/10
