It's true that, it's almost impossible to do something that's never been done before at all, but it just seems like the ideas in this pasta are just old and used up. When Eric comes in, he seems predictable entirely, just "ooh, it's a creepy guy online that does bad stuff." That idea seems pretty worn out by now, and really it's not really scary after seeing it done so much There were even plotholes as to Eric being a normal person. You can't enter someone's town on Animal Crossing without them being there, and more importantly, how did he know what his house looked like and have the address to send "nic house frind" or however it was written? It's evident that this Eric character wasn't exactly right in the head.

It's not really that Eric entirely lacks potential for creepyness, either. He burnt his own his down and died? Why wasn't THAT focused on more? Even the "Yes Eric, I do have a globe"  would be acceptable if it used the material it set up for itself instead of steering focus on the fact that Eric died. The story, in the end..there's just not much to it. The ending is really the only thing that could save it; If it ended with something like "then the mysterious entity dissapeared forever", then the character Eric becomes even more boring that he already is. Maybe make him actually...I dunno, creepy, instead of seeming like a little kid who doesn't know how to type. (And I'm not talkin about the ending, I'm talking about the whole way through.)

And sure, it might be a half-way decent Animal Crossing pasta for once, but does that really mean the bar has to be lowered for it specifically?
