No it isn't my series! Wish it was though! It's very good, and I think they should be updating soon(ish).

Okay...hate to really do this, but I want to be really honest. I don't really see anything original here. I see memory loss, notes, mysterious people, plague doctor proxies, and distortion that's used by your's truly. I see references to Homestuck everywhere (apparently, I don't know anything about it) which is the only thing original. The camera work is less than okay. The idea of cutting between two cameras is neat I guess, but it makes me question a lot about the videos being edited together. The wicked 7 thing is a new name stamped on something old. The distortion was bad before they started using a different technique. And the only reason I'm not impressed with the new distortion is that my series uses it already and has been since before the summer. The proxy is just a plague doctor, something we've all seen before (TJAProjects and One other I think). The acting is "eh" at best...the storyline really seems jumbled at times, even if it does seem planned. Over all I'm going to stop watching, I gave it a chance but sorry....

(Okay I'm trying really hard not to sound like a douchebag here sorry if it comes across that way) First point: "memory loss, notes, mysterious people, plague doctor proxies, and distortion that's used by your's truly" Yes these all have been used before, but they have been used in nearly all that has come before. Barring the last two I can't think of a slenderseries which doesn't use the first three. Moving on, plague doctors are very common enemies in the genre, again tropes are not bad. This isn't to say that they can't be done poorly, just I don't believe using some of the same elements is grounds for saying something is bad. Moving on to the distortion, it seems to me like you're being accusational? Although I'm not sure so I won't say more on the topic. You say that there's nothing original here, but I think that that is incorrect. This is the first series I've seen to have the proxies be in direct competition with each other. This series also tends to put The Slenderman almost on the back burner. They use him in the series, but, again at least to me, he seems to be more in the background than the foreground. I know that that's not perfectly original, but nothing is. Not entirely. Admittedly, the storyline is a bit fajhdpuhfasdougphasdog, but it hasn't had time to pan out yet, and I imagine it will make more sense in future. Also, the acting is quite, as you put it, "eh" but almost no series has objectively good acting at the beginning. You are completely welcome to stop watching, and you don't have to apologize for opinions.

hi this is grey from PNW, id also like to point out that were 14-17 and have no budget for this. as sheapm said, our plot is kind of jumbled at the moment, but clarity from the audience's point of view isnt exactly our goal, its kind of a trope to obscure things in this kind of series if im correct.

I'll give you the first three. I mean it's hard to not make a slender series without those three elements and if someone does it's probably going to be a piece of shit. (If someone has made one like that please send it to me so I can be disproven) The distortion thing isn't a big deal really. There's only so many effects and it's real cool one.
I will admit, 14 was well executed. It's the first one I actually enjoyed and was like "Whoa...what happens next?" So if more like that come out I'll be happy.
The proxies in direct opposition isn't new. Rake and Slendy in EMH aren't friends. There are other examples...I'm sure that with time it'll bring something new to the table.

can we also just take into consideration they don't have very many videos up yet? And granted, a /lot/ of slenderseries coup a lot of the same stuff being a very narrow demographic, but PNW handles things a lot differently, in my opinion. as shea has said, it's not all about slendy and that remarks on quite a bit.
but really, we should all chill and respect each other and see how this unfolds, aight? [o]u[o]

I respect them to the fullest. They're making a Slenderseries. They have joined the ranks of us who are creators and we share a brotherly bond (chicks too) Just because it isn't my cup of tea doesn't mean i don't think people like it. Obviously they do (props on the subscribers) btw. Those were just my criticisms.
Every series is different and should be appreciated for that. I'll probably be checking in occasionally to see what's what.
Though I should say, 18 videos in is a lot. People have done a lot more in a lot less and people have done a lot less with a lot more...number of videos isn't really a good determination of plot.

thanks man, id also like to point out that our plot is kind of slow and will be for a good bit, and youre right about it not really being measured by an amount of videos, me and alex at very least like to be secretive and confusing with plots early on, in pnw and otherwise, which could explain the obscurity.
also im going to check out ourgodevil tonight, so yeah im excited to watch it
