The story was super well written and the reading was fantastic, thank you for this accessibility! I just hope the editing gets more time for future stories.
Now this set's is over I reiterate - thank you so much for doing the readings of the story. There are valid criticisms, sure, they could definitely use a little more time in editing and I wish they came out at the same time as the story text. But GOD I've enjoyed this story the most of all the magic stories so far, and this audio is 99% of the reason why. Thank you
@@eldestjester4808Yes, yes, good Sir/Mdm. BUT surely, some review of the product before it goes out there to the world, is warranted for? Tiny (almost unnoticeable) mistakes now & then, sure. But no sore thumbs should b left sticking out like that. Several edit errors (repeat of lines, etc) were noted in the earlier story videos too. However any1 can put it or wish to defend, this speaks volumes of the (lack of) care & sincerity WotC puts into their “finished” products
I think this raised even more questions than answers, but all expositions do😁 I'm very excited to follow the new Kellan arc. As for the production, this feels like a live reading that was just being recorded and I don't mind the breaks and mistakes. It's beautiful, Ms. Snyder is doing an awesome job and have I mentioned that I absolutely adore the decision to release these as stories as well as in Audio form? Really, it's great. Thank you, Story Team.
I like your voice; it's soothing. The little mistakes add a little bit of charm to the experience. I had a feeling Oko was going to be the dad, though. Kellen saying that he's going to be right back reminds me of Quantum Leap way back in the early 90s.
Definitely felt like Imodane's redemption and Will's building a coalition were overlooked/rushed in favor of more time to develop Kellen and Ruby. Rowan's descent into villainhood may be a bit rushed, they kind of hinted at it with Strixhaven and losing her parents to the Phyrexians definitely left her with ptsd.
So grateful to see this new tack of uploading readings along with the stories. Really helps people like me with little time to read but lots of time to listen, so thanks! And the errors... Yeah, it would be more professional to have them edited out. But personally I rather enjoyed the touch of humanity there.
This feels like sitting in on a live reading. The small mistakes made it somehow more immersive, and if that was the intention, well played. But you are right, big company, very limited budget. They had the whole story brought back to the website just some years ago, after they realized that ebooks made them even less money😅
@@gustavosousa5246I'm sure this was mostly a few people volunteering to try a new idea out, and if the engagement is high enough it'll get more time and funding.
Yes, more of this please This story was great and has cemented will kenrith as one of my favorite characters. The betrayal by rowan carries elements of bolas's ambitions but it also has very shakespearian undertones. We need more character-driven plots like this, it's great in the same way urza's story is great!
I’m still unsure of the decision to have omenpaths, but this story was great! Nice word choice, thematic set pieces, and a relatable anguish to Rowan’s story. The fact that there was a reading was even better! I can think of some improvements for next time (like making it more clear when there is a new segment or ensuring that the music always tonally matches (I like the whimsical song, but I think it was used once in a tense moment)), but this was great. I also like hearing the page turn a few times. Not sure it will fit every set, but it added a surprising amount to an Eldraine story.
K’s writing is great fun to read and listen to! Please give your writers more chapters. Harless’s reading is amazing for accessibility! Please give your readers an editor.
Even though some might complain, I liked keeping the mistakes in the reading. It felt like actual storytelling which is what this set is partially about.
I like the narrator, I don’t like how her obvious mistakes and quick retakes were left in. From a cinematography background, a mistake pulls the viewer out of the content and breaks the illusion and makes them need to get back into it. Not a great job here, friends. Not to mention the narrator is probably embarrassed that the editor didn’t fix that. This is her profession and she did great, feels disrespectful from a viewers stand-point. Editing aside, story is great and I’m here for it. Just hire a proper editor.
Im listening to ep 4 and 5 of the story today, and dayum are they poorly edited. In ep 4 they kept forgetting to edit out the bits where she redid lines, so you hear the same line twice in a row repeatedly just slightly different. Episode 5 they straight up left in a part where she said "I said that word wrong", and restarts the sentence..... I didn't really take notice of anything like this in ep 1-3.
Great story and good to see these coming out so fast, but can you pay more attention to the editing? There are so many repetitions and segments that can easily be cut out for a more pleasant experience without breaking the immersion.
Overall nice but a little sloppy, Fantasy Geographic at least takes the time edits out their audio mistakes/stumbles/breaks. I guess some people like it but honestly, makes it feel like ya'll don't care enough to listen; Take the time to listen to your own story !!
I’d love these if you took the time to edit them. I shouldn’t hear the readers misspoken words. Acknowledging their misspoken words. Clearing her throat. Simple stuff here.
It's great that WOTC is doing lore readings now and having them professionally recorded but for the love of God listen to the final cut before you publish. The constant plosive sounds on the first video, then the many repeated lines, the editing sections near instantaneously after one another, and the misreadings. I understand the wheel is in constant motion over at WOTC but this kind of stuff is inexcusable, you're a multi billion dollar company, not some scrapy start up or patreon funded fan channel.

Thank you
These story readings are great, and I really hope you keep doing them, but please edit out the small mistakes and breaks
Honestly I like it made it much more funnier
I like the small mistakes it makes it feel to me like a big sister reading to their younger sibling
None of us are without fault, to seek a world hidden behind the guise of false perfection is to doom us all from ever waking from ignorance.
Well, at least no F-word sneaked through the cracks in the omnipaths

Thank you once again for making the lore more accessible!
Damn, Oko got the rizz even before he was introduced in Eldraine
I think this raised even more questions than answers, but all expositions do😁 I'm very excited to follow the new Kellan arc.

Really, it's great. Thank you, Story Team.
Excited to see what’s next for Kellen!!! This story was awesome
I bet he'll find himself in a vampiric underground expedition to the center of a weird dinosaur-filled realm
I like your voice; it's soothing. The little mistakes add a little bit of charm to the experience. I had a feeling Oko was going to be the dad, though. Kellen saying that he's going to be right back reminds me of Quantum Leap way back in the early 90s.
This story was amazing and please keep doing this for every new standard set
Love the read lore! Even with the mistakes, they feel cute! Keep it up for the next sets please !!!!
I find the corrections endearing. Please keep them in for future Story releases.
I like the mistakes being included haha. Chuckles every time
So stoked these audio stories exist. I hope they continue!
The corruption of Rowan needed more narrative focus, and the redemption of Imodane.
This story needed more space.
Definitely felt like Imodane's redemption and Will's building a coalition were overlooked/rushed in favor of more time to develop Kellen and Ruby.
Rowan's descent into villainhood may be a bit rushed, they kind of hinted at it with Strixhaven and losing her parents to the Phyrexians definitely left her with ptsd.
yeah thats been a promblem with most of the set stories seince they limited them to only 5 stories per set
So grateful to see this new tack of uploading readings along with the stories. Really helps people like me with little time to read but lots of time to listen, so thanks!
And the errors... Yeah, it would be more professional to have them edited out. But personally I rather enjoyed the touch of humanity there.
Prob one of the better stories by MTG. Thanks so much for bringing it to life!
@ 1:58
Editing
I know i should ask more professionalism from this huge of a company, but i found that so cute

I love the voice acting, and with just a touch of polish it would go from very good to spectacular.
@@gustavosousa5246honestly same it was kinda funny
@@gustavosousa5246I'm sure this was mostly a few people volunteering to try a new idea out, and if the engagement is high enough it'll get more time and funding.
I enjoyed the story but what I enjoyed more even were the "edit cuts" that were left in...they reveal past the veil more than words
I am happy about getting the story read like that and it seems especially fitting for the fairytale setting of eldraine
Yes, more of this please

You know you can edit the "oops I read that wrong" part out... right?
Thank you so much.
these story readings are great and please do them more but also PLEASE PLEASE do at least a second pass over the video and edit out mistakes
The readings are great to listen to, it's a shame that there's retakes that weren't edited out :(
I love Rowan. I’m glad I’m emotionally attached myself to her from the start.
K’s writing is great fun to read and listen to! Please give your writers more chapters.
Harless’s reading is amazing for accessibility! Please give your readers an editor.
Super fun! I love this!

I didn't really take notice of anything like this in ep 1-3.
I do wish there was some sort of transition between scenes and some more edits for “typos”
We're just going to ignore 1:55 -2:02 ?
I really love this story reading
Great story and good to see these coming out so fast, but can you pay more attention to the editing? There are so many repetitions and segments that can easily be cut out for a more pleasant experience without breaking the immersion.
I find it really hard, even though I know Rowan is hurting, to not scream at how stupid she is.
Damn, Wizard said "let it rock". Btw they are gonna take it down and re put it up. Enjoy this while you can
Overall nice but a little sloppy, Fantasy Geographic at least takes the time edits out their audio mistakes/stumbles/breaks. I guess some people like it but honestly, makes it feel like ya'll don't care enough to listen; Take the time to listen to your own story !!
Y'all keeping the bloopers in now?
Nice to have this read, however the accent on words and errors in words really break immersion, Repostay? Turn Tell?
Hey you said that word right
Love the readings, but seriously MtG, I'm sure you have enough resources to edit the mistakes.
I wish these would go up on the magic story podcast
Why didn't they do this for Ixalan ? They could hace continued and improved the formula ! Such a shame they only did it for Eldraine...
I'm really glad you did audio for these stories, but please take your time editing next time. It is extremely lazy for a giant corporation
“I said that word wrong”
this was great
I see wizards of the coast forgot how to resolve a story. A pity. Really nice reading though!
I’d love these if you took the time to edit them. I shouldn’t hear the readers misspoken words. Acknowledging their misspoken words. Clearing her throat. Simple stuff here.
Edit the voice so the mistakes isn't there and it is good.
so it seems ashiok is gonna be the next big baddy, amzing
Re-post-aye 😂
it's nice to listen to the story, but why weren't the double line reads removed? it takes me out of it..
It's great that WOTC is doing lore readings now and having them professionally recorded but for the love of God listen to the final cut before you publish. The constant plosive sounds on the first video, then the many repeated lines, the editing sections near instantaneously after one another, and the misreadings. I understand the wheel is in constant motion over at WOTC but this kind of stuff is inexcusable, you're a multi billion dollar company, not some scrapy start up or patreon funded fan channel.
If you need an editor for these videos, I'm available
"Nope."
Good story... but your editor needs some help.
I’m late to the party, please keep doing this and keep the mistakes. They’re not “funny”, they make the reading feel more authentic
So, the multimillion dollar company can't even hire an audio editor????
The editing really needs some work
2nd
How can this be uploaded unedited ?! Pathetic
Obligatory 1st
What a filthy story, this is the kind of stories magic tells now
This was already one of the worst, blandest readings ive ever heard, and now we're leaving in mistakes???? Bad bad bad
