Enter has decided to try his hand at producing audiobooks, here he is reading the first chapter of his 'super dark' novel, Little Cassie:
Dramatic Reading- "Little Cassie" -
- Thread starter Piga Dgrifm
- Start date
He does get sad sometimes, and depressed too, as shown by his reaction to "Putting Your Hoof Down", the episode which made him depressed for three days. I'd say he's also stoic, but the definition means "a person who can endure pain or hardship without showing their feelings or complaining", and Mr. Enter definitely complains.

His timing as he reads is just a little odd. As though he just wants to get the reading done as quickly as possible. He doesn't have a lot of pauses for listeners to fully digest what he's reading. Maybe that's just a personal problem that I have and everyone else is fine with it.
His voice isn't as irritating as it normally is, which I suppose is a good thing.
I can't criticise the writing because I haven't read the story.

Got to 30 seconds before I stopped it. ... Yeah, my tolerance for this was pretty much nonexistent.
I'm a fan of Creepypasta readers on YouTube. MrCreepyPasta and CreepsMcPasta come to mind as some of the most prominent, at least imo. There have also been some dramatic readings of some hilariously bad fanfictions that I've read, as well as the infamous Sonichu Audiobook that I'm pretty sure every Kiwi has at least heard about. The thing that makes their dramatic readings work, at least imo, is that there's pacing. When it's the narrator and he's setting the scene, the tone is usually slow, methodical, and rather fluid, not too slow that it feels like a chore to listen to, but it's not too fast that it feels like the details are being thrust past you.
Enter suffers from the latter. His reading is too quick and it's breaking the immersion. Bad readings are particularly annoying not only because they can ruin a good story, but because it makes the flaws of the actual story more evident (that being, the fact that the beginning of the story is fairly dull and has nothing to catch the reader's attention).
I happen to like dramatic readings and variants of, so the fact that Enter's doing one so poorly aggravates me a bit.

I can't sit through this, mainly because of how monotone and unenthusiastic he sounds, which doesn't help because I don't think his writing is that good at all.
When I was reading Little Cassie, I actually read it aloud to myself. It was kind of fun, and it made an average, non-noteworthy work somewhat interesting. I was almost hoping that Enter would put up his own reading since it is his work after all. And it would force him to look over his work. Reading your work aloud lets you see how awkward some phrases are, and especially see grammar and spelling errors.
I diff-checked the text of the current version on his dA with the old version Piga Dgrifm posted.
The only thing he changed was the name of the character, from Robert to Andrew.
I couldn't tell if he self-corrected while reading, because I just couldn't listen to it all the way through. He's just making a serious of sounds. And the only time he's able to show any emotion or pacing is when anger or irritation is involved. There is nothing dramatic about this reading. He probably just called it a dramatic reading because that's what the cool kids around YouTube do, even though this is nothing like even those readings.

Oh, WTF!
Dramatic readings usually insult mediocre to shitty works. Entard doesn't even know that, does he??? Oh, Christ - I definitely ain't watching anymore shit from this guy, unless someone else is doing it to make fun of this guy.
It's official - or more so than usual, IMHO - this guy really is an exceptionally stupid individual.

I wish there were a ROFL rating because I laughed at this stupid thing. God, Enter just had to Gary-Stu the main character, didn't he?
"Oh man, the world is so depressing. Your life is a waste. Nobody cares about you. The only things that make it worth living are TV, sitting outside, and eating at a restaurant, alone. Everything good in life is done alone. Friends are just parasites. Oh, woe is me!"

Actually, does anyone know why it's called 'Little Cassie'?
I've only glanced at later chapters, but Cassie is the name of the girl being abused in the neighboring household.

My first thought is "This is starting to sound a little like Taxi Driver", girl gets abused, guy is depressed, guy saves girl eventually.
My second thought is "Can Enter make the story about Cassie instead, she sounds a little more interesting"
Also, do you know how she's being abused?
Like I said, I only glanced at other chapters but given what I saw and Enter's personal interest in the topic those are the dots I connected.
It's "dark", the household she's from is extraordinarily hostile, Robert/Andrew called CPS, and Enter has a personal interest in abuse.
ALSO worth noting: Enter didn't bother going through and carefully editing or reading his work. He replaced all mentions of "Robert" with "Andrew", but he didn't actually read carefully enough to replace an instance of "Rob".

I read a bit of the story a while back and remember some things. Apparently, she's abused physically and I think mentally as well.
Watched this, and I fucking died.
Shown this to my brother and a friend, we fucking died.

Sounds more like a text-to-speach program reading the story than a human.
So..this was Enter trying to write a serious story?
after his fails at GA, I don't want to come close to this.
Yup. Enter wrote his a long time ago (when he was in a "dark place") and found it. His fans demanded to see it. His ego really shows when you read the stuff he says about it.
Hey, remember when I found my old video game that I made in High School and decided to share it with you all? It was light-hearted, upbeat, and not very good. Today I found about half of a novel that I was working on hiding somewhere on my old hard drive files (27k words out the typical 50-60k). It's pretty much the opposite of that. I think that it's actually pretty good. Not great, and I have improved, but still serviceable. There isn't any bad word structure, all of the characters are properly established, and obviously there's no bad art or music, and there's aren't any corny jokes. That's because it's down-trodden, pessimestic, and morbid.Oh... so it's one of those brooding teenage crap stories, isn't it? Um... no. It's morbid, perhaps the most morbid thing that I've ever read because a lot of the thoughts and feelings came from a dark place, but here's the thing -- it's not melodramatic. That means that any angst, anger, or misery is completely deserved, right down to the premise.
Our main character, Robert Wright (shut up), is down-trodden. He's beaten down by his life, almost going through a quarter-life crisis. By the end of the first chapter we're informed that his neighbors have been arguing to the point of violence and they have a daughter named Cassie Galvin (hindsight works in strange ways). It actually gets bad with what's shown in the text, never mind what's just suggested. Robert tries to call the authorities on them, but when Mr. Galvin puts on a facade, Robert ends up being attacked by a sledgehammer and threatens to kill him if he ever tries that again. Robert, in desperation, kidnaps Cassie and the majority of the novel is them running from the law. The "morbid" doesn't stop there either. And, most of the conflict on the story is internal conflict with lots of those good old questions of what's moral, action vs. inaction, and lots of other questions that I was having at the time.
The writing itself is flowery, and I'll be honest, it can come off as pretentious. So... um, do you guys want it? I could upload it in a chapter by chapter basis, but I'm going to warn you the first five chapters (of 17... so far!) are probably the darkest.

Some of the author's comments on the chapters are pretty hilariously self-complimenting and noteworthy.
I like most how he either brushes off his shortcomings (such as his lack of research, my favorite thing about Enter) or he turns around and says "no wait I'm good".
