Chapter Text
Soundwaves helm hurt.
As he stared at the screen, all he could feel was disbelief when he saw that there was going to be no more chapters. It was done. This Primus forsaken disgrace for literature was actually done, and all he could feel was dissatisfaction.
It's not that he liked the story, quite the opposite. He despised it and lived to send hate comments under every update the author had under the name of, 'TelapathicWaves.' It was a routine, a hobby even, to criticize and argue with people in the comments that actually enjoyed the poor quality writing of the current biggest story now, 'The Absolute Logic' By 'TheStarsScream'. Soundwave was of the personal opinion that it only had one saving grace, and it was the protagonist, Shockwave, who was the best character to come of existence!
His story began with tragedy after tragedy, the writing actually promising and of decent quality. The next arc of Shockwaves story began when he joined up with the Decepticons and became a scientist within their ranks, all was looking up for him until the villain appeared. To his surprise, the villain had the same name as him, Soundwave, but he supposed it fit due to his abilities with sound. To say he hated this character though would be an understatement. Such great potential, the second best gladiator and Megatrons most trusted alley, a great set up to a great and interesting character.... If he didn't turn out to be an absolute bastard! Scum he tells you, absolute bottom of the barrel scum! He had no right tormenting and making Shockwaves life a living hell! The Decepticon cause could've absolutely lived without him, if only their leader, Megaton, wasn't such a pushover for the guy. Maybe then the end of the second story arc wouldn't have ended with Shockwave being betrayed and rid of his literal emotions.
The following arc was of Shockwave overcoming his challenges and rising to the top using his newly found logic. Soundwaves favorite part was when his name companion finally got what he deserved, of course.
"The sound of gasps filled the room, at the center a deconstructed bot tied uselessly to a table. "you... Soundwave: Superior. Shockwave—"
"Inferior. Yes, I know. You're illogical as ever, Soundwave." Shockwave narrowed his singular optic, there would've been hate if he hadn't had his emotions blocked, no, removed, ages ago.
Soundwave laughed weakly, like he'd just heard the funniest joke in eons. He laughed, and laughed, and laughed until Shockwave finally found it fit to deactivate his processors for good. After all, it was the most logical decision."
The writing! The Characterization! it was the peak of the novel, and it all went down from there.
It started with the plot holes. Sure, there had been some before but none this obvious. Like how Decepticon leader Megatron even knew of Soundwaves death! And don't even get him started on his cheap death afterwards, seriously, grief? Grief?!?! What was there to grieve! His oh so horrible personality? Soundwave could feel his helm pounding the more he thought about it, just a simple one line sentence and then... and then everything moved on! That wasn't even the worst part, the worst part was when Shockwave started a harem.
Shockwave was one of logic, he had no feeling and didn't really care for others unless they helped pushing forward in his goals. That being said, he just started collecting harem members out of the blue, For! No! Reason!!! There was no logic in it, and people loved this new development. 'The Absolute Logic' skyrocketed in popularity and soon Shockwaves character was watered down to a mere sadistic harem lord who only cared for having beauties by his side! What the Fuck!!
Soundwave grew understandably upset the more he thought about it. He spent all his time and money on this. So of course the first thing he did was immediately open up his comments and start furiously typing out criticism after criticism until his processors began to heat up and start sparking from stress.
"What the hell. This stupid author!! Not even loyal to your own characters! Justice for Shockwave!!!" He yelled in absolute frustration, before finally his processors fried up and he short circuited. Death, and the last thing he'd ever said or thought about was pure hate for that web novel.
