Reviews for "Onyx the Fortuitous: The Face Behind the Talisman of Souls"
1. Emily - 1 star - I absolutely did not like "Onyx the fortuitous and the talisman of souls web viewing". The storyline was confusing, the acting was subpar, and the special effects were cheesy. I found it hard to stay engaged throughout the entire viewing. The dialogue felt forced and the characters lacked depth. Overall, I was disappointed with this web series and would not recommend it to others.
2. John - 2 stars - "Onyx the fortuitous and the talisman of souls web viewing" failed to live up to the hype for me. The humor fell flat and the humorist Onyx just came across as annoying rather than funny. The plot was hard to follow and at times seemed disjointed. Additionally, the production value was lacking. The whole series just felt like a low-budget, amateur project. I was expecting more and ended up being disappointed.
3. Sarah - 2 stars - I have to admit, "Onyx the fortuitous and the talisman of souls web viewing" was not my cup of tea. The jokes were juvenile and the character of Onyx was grating. The pacing was off and the series dragged on longer than it needed to. I couldn't connect with any of the characters and found myself rolling my eyes more often than laughing. Overall, I found this web series to be a letdown and would not recommend it to others who are looking for quality content.
