This is a short story that im writing, the text on the page at the very top is the opening paragraph and may or may not give you insight to what the story is about.

The stories point of view and writing may be odd but thats what I'm going for :D

Well nothing is spelt wrong so tell me them.

In sentences and paragraphs, spelling is not the sole make-up of something called grammar.
You have a comma mistaken for a period. You also have a tendency to capitalize letters when they are not supposed to be capitalized.

When you’re a writer you can write In any register/style of writing you want, therefore it doesn’t matter :D

Of course you can. But with those simple grammars like that, especially on a cover page... oh wow... hehe...
I would just turn my self from the bookshelf, put it down, and then look for another book and never take a look at it again.
When you're a writer, theres supposed to be purpose to a style and register. Hope you knew.

It just seems like pointless 'style' to me. It's just bad grammar. I can't say I like it. At some point I'll rewrite it, perhaps, highlighting what I think are the mistakes.

EDIT: Rewrite. Although, yeah, my style is different and thus my words should not be put in your mouth, just consider it a suggestion as to how a story like this should be written. I think mostly you've got problems managing mechanics, i.e., sentence structure, grammar, etc. Although your sentences could be more descriptive, a laconic prose can often descirbe a surgical environment more effectively than a verbose exposition on the starkness of life.

" Sane... that unattainable description, the Holy Grail that everyone seeks. A meaningless word, applying to nothing. Insane. The word used to describe those we label as 'mentally ill'. Always branded only to some, when everyone should bear its loathsome mark. Everything is flawed, existence, society.
I felt as though life had no meaning, that the omnipresence of blemish destroyed any purpose. Yet I forgot all this one that one fateful day, when she changed it all. She is the only one who is truly sane. "

As much as i'd like too im not stealing the rewritten (though some of the words i dont understand..well 1.) But i'll essentially edit to have better grammar soon.

It's just meant to be a sort of guide, as your grammar needs fixing. Badly.

Oh_Man -- yea APM vs eAPM
[08:48 am]
NimoStar -- plus most of the human APM is just spam clicking APM inflation
[08:47 am]
NimoStar -- the thing with the "*12" thing is completely misleading. The AI isn't using two control groups, it can use each of those actions to command a single unit individually and issue different commands to each single unit.

NudeRaider -- NudeRaider
NudeRaider shouted: Oh_Man Artosis hasn't caught on how devastating the perfect focus fire is. With the mutas he was like "the Mutas always seem to have less hp than against a human". But he didn't notice that the flock he had selected always just had one muta that was hurt. Same with the wraiths here. He's talking about how valks+wraith is gonna destroy Pluto's valks, then 5s later he's dumbfounded the human player's air is just gone and he never figured out why. And for some reason didn't even think to go back and look at the battle.
*Pluto's wraiths

Vrael -- perhaps there is a small professional player trapped in a box in the server rack where pluto is running? hmm?
[2026-9-21. : 4:14 pm]
Vrael -- 240*12*2 is 5760, where is the other 240 APM?
[2026-9-21. : 3:44 pm]
Oh_Man -- 1 action is selecting the unit and another action is moving it
[2026-9-21. : 2:58 pm]
Vrael -- 240*12 is 2880, where is the other 3000 APM?
