      Read through the introduction, seems great so far!

      btw, is this the first actual academic paper written on StepMania?

      e: There is a Japanese word I can think that people in the community use often and that is "Oni", although it gets translated to Challenge quite often, it's still very common imo

              This was a very nice read, I actually learned a few things too seeing as I am not the most fluent in the linguisticmanias.

                                just reading the first paragraph you use passive voice in like every sentence. I'm not a passive voice nazi like a lot of profs are, but it really strengthens your writing when you use stronger verbs and use passive voice sparingly. Use it to create variety in your sentences; don't use it as the only way you construct a point

                                fun read, you could probably write a dissertation on shit like that but who would want to? lol
