Interesting in its own way
It is hard to give a solid rating because the stories vary so much in writing style and quality. With that said though there are some very interesting themes going on, and some impressive levels of creativity at work.
I think this kind of framework is a good outlet for young writers in a number of ways, but it also unfortunately comes with some not particularly favourable attitudes, and a significant amount of self indulgence as a result.
Overall i would like to see more compilations and projects like this, as again it works as a good outlet and experience for young writers and also for voice actors. But yeah, obviously not all are going to be home runs for everyone.
