 A Brief Story Review


By: Azvaro Daiziel Gunawan

     So recently, I and my classmates got a project from our English teacher. Our project is to make a fractured story. In this website, I'm going to review two fractured story that my friends made. I'm trying my best for not reviewing with bias and pure came from my opinion.


1. Wicked - By Team: 3

     Okay so this story is actually way deeper than I expected. It takes the classic Wicked universe and flips it into something that hits really close to home, like genuinely relatable in a 2025 kind of way.

     The original Elphaba we know is already a complex character, but this fractured version takes her pain and cranks it up. Plot 1 is honestly kind of dark and brilliant — Elphaba's plan to make everyone green so nobody can single her out sounds logical at first, but the story quickly shows why that thinking is flawed. You can't force equality by erasing differences. That's a lesson that actually slaps hard when you think about real life.

     Plot 2 though? That's where the emotional payoff lives. Elphaba owning her mistake and going back to Glinda — the person she probably felt most vulnerable around — takes actual courage. Their teamwork to create the antidote felt earned, not cheesy.
What makes both plots work together is the message they share: society will always find someone to blame. Whether you're green or not, different or not, hatred is a habit people carry regardless of circumstances.

     The writing is emotional, the themes are meaningful, and honestly? This fractured version might hit harder than the original.


2. Myth About Cupid

     Okay so this script genuinely caught me off guard because it's way smarter than the title suggests. Like at first glance it looks like a cute tech-themed rom-com, but the deeper you go, the more it actually says something real about how our generation experiences connection.

     Psyche is immediately relatable. The hoodie, the trust issues, the "love is fake" energy — that's literally every person who's been ghosted and decided to become emotionally unavailable. Her character feels authentic rather than forced, which makes her journey actually worth following.
C.U.P.I.D works surprisingly well as a character too. The "bro-bot" personality could've been annoying, but it balances humor with genuine emotional moments, especially the sad mode glitch scene which honestly hit different.
 
     The Eros reveal is where the story gets genuinely interesting. It's not just a plot twist — it's a metaphor for how we fall for curated versions of people online. Filters, bios, aesthetic profiles. We're all kind of falling for "Advanced Hologram Mode" every day.
The park bench reconciliation felt a little rushed though. Psyche forgave pretty quickly for someone who literally threw her phone.

     Still, the ending message — swipe less, live more — lands perfectly without feeling preachy.

Ultimate Liwung

Ultimate Liwung (Post apocalyptic) Surabaya, 12 Oktober 2024, jam istirahat kedua    Azvaro seperti biasa menjalani sekolah yang dia benci, karena dia lebih memilih untuk hidup di masa dinosaurus ketimbang masa-masa globalisasi ini. Dio memanggil nya "Woy Paduka raja", lalu Azvaro menjawab "Ehh.... Nandayo, Ore wa nanasiono Varo samada". Dan Dio dan Azvaro pun mengitari sekolah tanpa tujuan yang jelas karena pada dasarnya Azvaro ikut Dio, Dio ikut Azvaro (paradox apa lagi ini).    Saat Azvaro dan Dio sedang chill sambil ngemut-ngemut eskrim kenyot rasa apel terbaru tiba-tiba pandangan semua orang teralihkan ke langit. "Mereka kenapa Dio?" Ternyata Dio juga memandang ke langit, ketika Azvaro melihat hal itu dia terkejut melihat sebuah Enormous big ass kapal alien sedang jatuh ke Bumi "Jncok Ro, supir alien e skill issue" Sadar mereka akan mati Dio pun jujur "Ro sebenarnya aku selama ini ngefans sama sempak yang kamu simpen dalam tas bagian se...

Kehangatan di Balik Kepedihan

Kehangatan di Balik Kepedihan     Saya adalah manusia berjenis Homo shimu. Shimu merupakan jenis manusia selain Homo sapiens yang memiliki beberapa ciri fisik yang berbeda dari Homo sapiens. Mereka menganggap kami sebagai sosok monster atau apalah itu yang manusia itu bilang. Kebanyakan orang yang tahu tentang kami menganggap kami sebagai mitos, itu karena genosida terhadap shimu kerap kali terjadi yang menyebabkan populasi shimu menurun dan tak banyak orang yang tahu tentang kehidupan kami. Segala usaha untuk berdamai tak pernah diindahkan dan hanya berujung predasi untuk shimu.    Dulu saya dan Ibu saya pernah menjadi korban dari manhunt yang dilakukan manusia. Dari pengalaman itu dan kehangatan dari ibu yang masih saya rasakan, saya memiliki mimpi untuk membuat derajat para shimu setara dengan sapiens. Saya memiliki mimpi untuk menghentikan kegilaan ini. Berkat ibu saya yang dulu selalu sabar mengajari saya tentang kebaikan dengan sesama, kesabaran, kemampuan...
