Overall: @Justiyaya: Good article. However, i'm not going to approve the article due to a lack of a plot section that I feel the article needs. So adding it would be appreciated. Also the bold link in alt1 isn't correct. Onegreatjoke (talk) 00:38, 25 September 2023 (UTC)

• Hook fixed, have written a summary but is a bit too long (850 words), I'll try to trim it down tomorrow Justiyaya 04:31, 25 September 2023 (UTC)

• @Onegreatjoke: Done! sorry that took me a decent while Justiyaya 05:21, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

@Justiyaya: good, but I feel like the plot is a bit too long, so a trimming would be nice. Onegreatjoke (talk) 18:15, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

I'll try to trim it a bit and expand other sections so they seem more proportional maybe tomorrow Justiyaya 08:20, 7 October 2023 (UTC)

@Onegreatjoke: sorry, got distracted by new page patrol and procrastinated a bit. I trimmed it a bit and its currently 15 words away from the recommended maximum of around 700 (MOS:PLOTLENGTH). I've also expanded everything else by a bit so hopefully it looks relatively shorter. Apologies again for the delay. Justiyaya 13:10, 18 October 2023 (UTC)

@Onegreatjoke: Is the article ready to be approved? Z1720 (talk) 19:07, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

i guess it's fine. More trimming can be done later. Onegreatjoke (talk) 21:47, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
