    The author's writing style is very entrancing as the MC is somewhat talking directly to the reader (or at least it's conveyed that way). It makes me feel like I'm in the setting with them, which a lot of authors fail to do. In terms of writing, their sentence structure could use some work, but it seems more like a language gap issue and it really isn't a problem. The dialogue is very riveting and it doesn't allow me to stop. Knowing what all the characters are thinking and doing is so gratifying! This is an excellent start and I can't wait to see where this is heading. Awesome job, Author-sama!

    This is a gem; the author has done a good job presenting this story to us, giving us a smooth reading experience. Clarifying that, the story is easy to digest, making for a clear and concise reading experience that doesn't leave you scratching your head out of frustration like some other stories do. There are a plethora of characters, diverse and leaving a lot of room for favorites to be picked. It's a setting I don't see explored much with stories on this site, so its refreshing to see--give this one a read.

    Okay!!!! Even though i've only read the first eight chapters, i'm already hooked. The idea behind the actual story is amazing and so original!! Don't think i've ever heard of a mafian/italian ghoststory before, lol! And Santo, omg don't even get me started on him! He's such a fun and different character, and i really feel like i actually know him, as i read the pages, which only shows just how amazing and talented the author is! I can't say this enough, i'll recommend this book to everyone! It's absolutely amazing! Can't wait to read the rest <3 <3

    L'amore e l'inganno sono perfetti e anche se l'autore ha un'ampia comprensione dell'italiano, ci sono alcuni confusi con la fantasia. Ma la storia è molto bella. Buon lavoro Overall, good job! 👍

    I found your book through another book i'm reading (the forbidden fruit), where the author referred to you - so i just had to see what that was all about, lol. I've read about 5 chapters, and i love it so far! I just wanted to let you know! Amazing job

    Ok, I'm not a fan of romance, so this will be an objective review. The quality of the writing is simple, neat, and easy to digest. There isn't much description but really it's not a bother. I actually like that, because I tend to imagine the scenes on my own. The stability of updates... well nothing to say about that really. Story development is cool. We start the book with SPOILER, the MC in a bed with his "wife" who is actually not really his wife. The author doesn't really linger on the useless and we dive rapidly into the nitty gritty. Character Design: As far as I have read, it's all good. Nothing out of place and they seem to have their own personalities. World Background: Humm I didn't read enough to really critic that. But from what I read it is developed and the author gave it some thoughts. All in all, it is a good novel. Just not in my genre. Keep up the good work! **: I've left you some paragraph comments. Be sure to check them all, since I point out some things you could improve in them.

    Honestly this is one of the few books I've read on here on WN that really has a good writing quality and enjoyable story plot. I just hope that the writer doesn't drop. This is a great book and even a blind bat can acknowledge that

    There's really nothing negative I can say about this story. Beautifully written, strong and distinct characters, and a very intriguing premise that will keep the reader glued to the screen to find out more about what is going on. The dialogue is great and the splashes of Italian make it all the more authentic. I also think the cutting backwards and forwards in time and telling the story in non-linear fashion was an excellent technique to draw the reader in. I will be sure to keep reading on further in this one. The protagonist is a really well-developed character. He is one who has come from a poor family and I look forward to finding out how he has ended up rich and powerful pretending to be a man who we find out was murdered in front of him and has been communicating to him as a ghost. Great idea which has me eager to keep on reading. This one is definitely a must-read!

    This is a very intriguing story and a page turner. There's no way you would want to start and not see the end of it. Apart from a few present and past tense mistakes, the writing quality is super great. The story idea and development is worth more than the five star I gave it. I love the character of Santos (that lucky bastard)🤣😂. Author did a great job on this one. well done👏👏👏👏😾💞💕
