This article is really good. The anomaly’s concept is interesting, the world building is pretty good for the limited format, and overall the article is extremely solid.
But it does have its share of issues. The portrayal of the RCPA as these “bad guys” was way too on the nose, and could’ve been done more subtly. Bookburning is the classic “bad guy” act, so you didn’t also have to mention how they “demonized Justice” and all of that, because it ended up just explaining the obvious.
In addition, while I can somewhat understand the RCPA using “Justice” all the time (I still think it’s too on the nose), I don’t understand why the dissenters do, too. Having more creative insults leading to more horrific results (for example, calling them pigs would turn the author into a pig, or the author is crushed by a stampede), would help the article a lot.
Finally, I think the dialogue was very awkward at times, with random linebreaks and sentences that felt just /off/. I can’t really elaborate without pointing out specifics.
Despite all that, it’s still an entertaining read and was fairly creative. +4.
