[Objective]

Adverse: A bit of a deeper take on the word. I like the direction you went with this, the piece got a melancholic atmosphere and read beautifully to me. "Oh what a beautiful irony it'd be for me to end up being meaningless" was nice. It all boiling down to struggling to find the words you want to express is relatable as well and closing the piece with "The Dictionary" was a dope way of going about it. Good stuff, easily a favorite among your most recent pieces. I could have written more about it but don't really think there's much more to add, it's clean and I enjoyed the read from start to finish.

Eviction: A more literal story is refreshing after Adverse's more cerebral piece although yours is as dark as it gets. The grind of 9-5 struggles and depressing situations with landlords and financial stress is done well sprinkled in with hope of a better position in life. Not to mention how all of this ends up seeping in to other facets of life like your relationship with your partner and kids, not to mention yourself. It's well portrayed in these lines as well:

I call it staying persistent, they call it kissing ass, and I have been a participant,
I’ll become something I hated, and this is how I will treat my assistant.

I also like the transitions from participant/disfigurement, and rhymescheme patterns while keeping a coherent story in this modern times depression era while. I like the character you made here, self aware and reflecting on their path doing the best they can while slowly falling deeper into the abyss and losing themselves in the process.

I became cold and heartless, I thought it was happiness…
^Good stuff to highlight this as a stand alone sentence to underline the desperation and realization of what he's become.

Last stanza ties the topic together perfectly with the story written. I like the concept of busy business life triyng to make it in the city vs a less rat race kind of life out in the country making enough to get by but living a happy life as a result and portraying it as different states to live in, a lot of people make this mistake. Especially while young and then get hooked into it.

This was fucking great and may be my fav piece so far in this league. Thought the story written and desperation of being stuck in a high level rat race was really well executed.

Dominate: The first 4 lines here is beautifully written imo. Great way to set the scene. Great visuals as I keep reading, too. I kept reading all the way to the end, and the way you captured the hunt for the beast and needing something more out of life. Not easy but earned, not given for nothing but deserved and then the emotion of not being given it when it was time corrupting him. Or maybe it was the longing for a hunt all along regardless of what? Love, prey or enemy doesn't seem to matter as long as the fight for something more is present.

The ending was great and set a tone of its own as she sing the song of a provinicial life. Not sure if I dug the rallying of sidekicks as it kind of breaks character to me in a way. That said, that's extreme nitpicking and your story written is excellent. Definitely the best I've read from you yet imo and it's an improvement from what I've read from you earlier.

Vote: Got to say that I kinda wish I didn't have to vote on this cus all 3 pieces are great in their own rights. Different abstractions, concepts and styles of writing that all serves its purpose for the pieces written.

Dominate's visuals, pace of story and writing held tons of emotion and narrated their mindstate well throughout. Descriptions were on point and painted vivid images along with the story. For this he ends up snatching my vote.

My vote goes to Dominate.

This was the Battle of the League so far for me. Pure dopeness from all 3.
