Mich hat gestört, dass bei Dialogen oft eine Person ganze Sätze einer anderen - wie ein Echo - wiederholt. Und vor allem, dass Klischeesituationen immer explizit als Klischee bezeichnet werden oder mit einem "aber sowas gibt es ja nur in nem fiktiven Roman" die 4. Wand gebrochen wird. Das ist als würde man Witze erklären und macht es nicht mehr lustig.
Die 0,25 Punkte gab's, weil's teilweise süß war und für den comic relief Gnag.
