'Ready or not' is about the Jones Family. Eric, Kate and their four kids are rich. And not normal rich, no. Scrooge McDuck rich. Jeff Bezos rich. But Eric and Kate are also secretly spies, working for the CIA.

Of course their kids don't know.

However, their oldest daughter, Hailey, harbours some suspicions. But is she ready for the truth, or not?

I feel like this story is what happens when you cross James Bond and Spy Kids.

No, really.

The plot is decent enough. It's entertaining, though I've found it to be extremely unrealistic at certain points. And I know you're not going for realism here, but that much money? Seriously? An example of something severely unrealistic was how Joshua got out of going to military school. He just shows the General a fake email and the man goes 'okay' abd leaves.

What the fuck? That was all it took? You can't do that, especially when you've established the guy as someone who doesn't trust easily. Daddy Blackwell didn't even provide a reason why he changed his mind. And why change his mind after already dropping his son off? Why didn't the General at least call to confirm if the email wasn't fake?

I'm not buying that, and there's more I'm not buying. Entertaining? Yes. Frustrating? Yes.

I'll give the characters another 'decent enough'. While they all seem to have their own distinguished voice and personality, it's… yeah, it's a bunch of rich white people with very few flaws. Well, they do have flaws, but I'd like those to be explored more. It's been established that Eric and Kate are pretty shitty parents; show that. Joshua and all his girlfriends and greed? Make that out to be problematic like it is instead of cool. Let the archetypes and badass factors go, dive into the heads of your characters, and find out what it really is that makes them tick.

I'd also like to point out that there's a lot of telling in this story, but little showing. Show some more! Show me what a character feels instead of telling me! Don't dump a bunch of backstory on me, sprinkle it all throughout the story to keep the audience interested, and let us connect the dots; it allows you to show a lot more of your character. You said you infodump to stop the story from becoming too confusing, but trust me: if you scatter the info right, there won't be a problem at all.

The GPS is pretty okay. Punctuation errors here and there, but spelling and grammar mistakes, while present, aren't that off-putting. Could be improved, but I wouldn't make it a first priority.

All in all, it's decent, but it could use some work.
