Author’s Note I: This is the index for First Take, the short-form review series I used to have. I’ve decided to retire the series. And for archiving purposes, I decided to put them into this post, replacing the previous index. Thus from now on, First Take is officially a part of my Fiction Analysis series.
Author’s Note II: Also, titles with an asterisk (*) next to its name indicates a Substack Serial that was unfinished as of the writing of the review.

Note: This was originally a comment to a story that ended being long enough to be its own short-review. At the moment, the author had put it behind paywall. Thus, I will not put the screenshots here.
