Ulti Reviews:
Welcome to the most redundant aspect of my Smack Jeeves reuploads. Doctor Who wasn't my first foray into writing critical or reactionary write-ups in response to what I was engaging with. Back around 2013, I offered up an opportunity for my peers on the website: to any fellow comic creators who asked me to, I'd read through their comic and respond to it with thoughts and advice. It was essentially a critic board.
I made about 60 or so of these reviews before eventually disliking the process, having realized that I wrote most of these akin to things like Nostalgia Critic or AVGN, in concept: Reactionary and for others' entertainment as they read through my reactions. The reviews weren't serving their intended purpose of actually being a helpful bit of advice for the actual authors, so after some thought, I wound up ending my review comic in January 2016, and starting fresh and new with a new format in October 2017.
The new format of reviews were designed to almost entirely just be for the author's sake. They were far more organized, but less accessible for anyone else to look at, even back when Smack Jeeves was active. Perhaps ultimately, in retrospect, there could've been a healthier mix between the two extremes of "for the readers" and "for the author". But it's too late for any of that, now.
After a few instances in the original run of reviews where people overreacted negatively to what I had to say (most notably with the first Digimon comic I got asked to look at), it caused a few problems that aren't really preserved anymore, aside from small bits of commentary I say in a few reviews. Generally, this occured from co-authored comics run by people who had problems taking criticism, constructive or otherwise. This is also what killed my motivation to keep going with the second wave of reviews, after my final review in December 2017 was of a co-authored comic that got very poor reception from the authors. It made me question why I was even bothering, if people wanted to ask for my critique but then not bother accepting or listening to it.
Anyways, all that being said, this is the most redundant aspect of my reuploads because.... well, Smack Jeeves doesn't exist anymore. You can read all these write-ups, sure, but you can't actually read almost any of the comics they're for. It makes a lot of this rather awkward, but that's what happens when a Korean business decides to delete an entire website from the face of the internet. At least by preserving these reviews, some small bit of other SJ comics gets to survive in some fashion.
