The naration made me fall in love!!
This is an amazingly wonderful work of art!
I can’t listen to this
It is good the voice is just so robotic and the narrative never gets that exciting the voice just stays the same.
Well researched, poorly delivered
I swear peninSHOEla almost made me scream and ragequit. Don’t give up, run it at 1.25-1.5 and her voice is less robotic and the content is good.
Dear author…re-record this well researched work. May i ask what accent peninSHOEla is?
