——— star rating

• ✦✦✦✦✦ · peak, i loved it so much in my own way and has a special place in my heart because it feels sacred to me
• ✦✦✦✦✧ · very cool premise or plot or character development and i enjoyed it so much but not to the point where it changed my life
• ✦✦✦✧✧ · it's okay, i enjoyed it, but i didn't love it nor hate it, it's neutral
• ✦✦✧✧✧ · borderline trash, but there are parts that i kinda like or enjoy but doesn't make it redeemable
• ✦✧✧✧✧ · absolute slop, i wasted my time, i want to wash my eyes, makes me wanna go to church and pray for it to stop existing
• the addition of: ½ or 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 — will determine how close my rating is for the next highest rating, like it's nearly there but not quite.
