I agree with everyone that the reactions were hilariously over-the-top. I just feel that, with a TTS-program and a few more scenes, you could make a hype reaction video, because the responses give me the impression of a reaction CC being overtly excited about the story.

I think that what makes it so obvious is how each time it introduces things with hyperbole - especially the bit where CGPT, on all caps, goes "OOOH BOY, CHAPTER SEVEN JUST CRANKED THE DIAL FROM "Huh, neat" TO “OH GOD IT’S LEARNING.” It feels so self-deprecating. Also, "[...]we are now officially messing with the boundaries of body and mind, memory and identity, self and Other. And I am LOSING IT." It's strangely comedy gold.

That said, I think it made a couple mistakes because it repeated Chapter Seven like three times, though one of them was explicitly mentioned as "Chapter Seven, Part Two".

One thing I almost forgot mentioning - the "over the top" writing is fun but it can be dangerous for someone seeking validation, because its tone is extremely enthusiastic but not critical. The second iterations are also less critical, though it's interesting that it pointed out that what few flaws it may have may be features of the particular point of view the story is stressing (2nd Person).
