In "ratings", delete space between "bloodlust" and comma.

Should you delete the reasons for the rating? I'm not clear how that's
relevant.

Should you insert a period after "Lurtz" and move theone at the end
inside the parenthesis?

Well, no. It's comedic and the summary doesn't let you know that the story
is comedic. But those warnings sure do. I haven't read the story yet, but I
can tell it's humorous because of those warnings.

Depends. If the parenthetical is meant to be it's own sentence or an
insertion into the the first one. I'll go with the author on this one.
