Story: 5/5
A creative mix of fantasy and the everyday, focusing on a janitor in a necromancy academy. The unique setting and blend of mundane tasks with magical elements are engaging, though it gets a bit exposition-heavy at times.
Characters: 5.5/5
Centred around a cheerful janitor in a magical academy, this story refreshingly subverts the grumpy caretaker trope, offering humour and positivity amidst chaos. The protagonist's interactions with characters like Fek, the optimistic student, and the bureaucratic bursar, enrich the narrative with humour and depth. These relationships, along with witty dialogues, underscore themes of resilience and the significance of every role, no matter how mundane, in a fantastical setting. The diverse cast strengthens the story, making it a compelling, character-driven adventure.
Grammar: 4.5/5
Generally solid, with occasional grammatical slips and awkward phrases that interrupt the flow. Needs a bit more polish.
Style: 5/5
The narrative is engaging, balancing description and dialogue well, with a notable use of humour. Some pacing issues in exposition-heavy sections, but overall, it has a unique charm.
Overall: 5/5
Inventive and enjoyable, "The Academy Janitor" stands out for its originality and humour. Focus on a non-traditional protagonist in a fantasy setting is refreshing. With some grammar and pacing improvements, this story could shine even brighter. Worth a read for its unique take on the fantasy genre.
