Hmm...I dunno about this comic. I mean, I used to read it on DD but it looked...different then. And what's with the title? I can't figure a single way in which the title could be tied to the comic (aside from the main characters name being Chyler).
Art...I get the feeling you're trying to do some huge experiment here which I don't understand in the least. Yeah I sort of get what's going on with her getting bullied by the cheer-leader girl, but these characters? God they feel so flat. And I can't tell any of these male characters apart. The typefaces are not all that interesting...things go on which aren't clearly explained. Overall plots can be pieced together, but not without pages of "What's going on?" And then something happens with a talking voodoo doll and a tenticle monster coming out of the trash? Jeezus Christ I have absolutly no idea...I get the feeling that she also has some sort of power over lightening that was never clearly explained because she seems able to summon down lightening bolts in a couple of panels.
Anyway then there seems to be a lot of fanservice. Not really big on that myself...
Okay so once you change to the comic pannel format things get easier to understand, but still overall without a solid first chapter this comic just isn't all the interesting to me. I still don't feel anything for this character aside from the fact that she seems to be very messed up. But maybe someone else can explain this comic to me and I'm just too young to understand.

ccs1989You are indeed young css1989, but you're canny enough to get most things pretty easily regardless.
But maybe someone else can explain this comic to me and I'm just too young to understand.
"Chyler" is one of those projects you can't really look over as being a whole story though (all the comics together that is). It's made up of a lot of experimental approaches to the story, the writing style, and the art. Rather than the character evolving during the course of the comic, the comic evolves during the course of Chyler.
So what I'm saying really is that if you want to do a good review of Chyler, it would be best just to do the latest coherent storyline, rather than the entire thing (for which ccs1989's review is understandable). In fact, it would be better to limit a review to any of the short individual storylines, but safer to do the later ones since they better represent where Crec is at the moment.

Okay, well that seems to explain it more. Though I think the fact that they ARE different stories could be better explained.

OZ has the right idea, I do this comic to learn how to write and play around with art. I do realize that it's a really, really bad comic.
Sorry you didn't like it.
