Ratings and reviews

Starting a poor trend, this graphic novel contains confusing changes to its stories and lackluster art to justify any of them. The worst of the bunch is Into the Pit, a classic Five Nights at Freddy's story turned bland and boring with its art and outright obnoxious adaptation. Characters ruin tense moments with awkward conversations that didn't exist prior, and elements of the plot literally appear out of thin air at times. The best would unfortunately be To Be Beautiful, which contains the best art of the three and does a good job adapting the story to a visual format, although the art is heavily carried by its colorist. Out of Stock has an interesting art style that would have worked better for different stories in the series. It's also clear that the artist was rushed and the colorist wasn't fit to match their style. The changes in the plot are strange as well, but that's the least of the stories problems.

I liked it. I already read these stories, but for 2 of them it massively improved my engagement to them. For Into The Pit, the first story, I felt like it was better just conveyed through text. The images here are a bit weird on how they interpreted the events, but it was still overall still good. The second story, To Be Beautiful, was massively improved. In the original book it was boring, but in here, it was pretty engaging, and the ending here was far better as I can see the consequences of the girl's actions. The third story, Out of Stock, was still about the same experience as I had with the original book, but it was kinda more scary. Reminded me of that one sequence with mannequins in Resident Evil Village. Overall, improved with the visuals, and I liked it.

lack of detail in drawings. hell even I struggle to draw perfectly, but this... doesn't have a good detail like how the silver eyes series does. however it still have a good story to tell with its visuals. but the lack of detail is hard to ignore, I'd rate this 1 stars art style, but 4 stars for good commitment in the series. it's not perfect, but it's good nonetheless 👍
