● Before you start, read this: Let me be clear about the genre which us realistic fiction and the author knows what he's doing! The quality is highly under check, no need to worry about that it's highly readable (actually good enough) The plotline is interesting yet cliche "Devil and angel within one, fighting own demons." Talking about the MC, Benjiro is a loner, quiet guy (soliloquy preferred guy) observant and has a problem while talking (apparently he stucks while talking) which I can relate to whenever I get nervous just like him. So, you can completely feel attached to the MC and his personality (in various aspects he feels real) which is a wonderful job by author. The pace is slow but fully developed that first 3 chapters will give you a whole insight view of the MC and his life with different acts (showing not telling) which again is a plus point. I believe that the slow pace was reasonable because the themetic selection demands it. Lastly, it's definitely a pick if you want some close to high-end literature style realistic fiction work to read embedded with heavy themes and psychological and sociological approach. *TAKE MY BOW, SIRE!*

Quality writing and a compelling main character. The quirks of the character make him both interesting and realistic. The pull between wanting to be invisible (at school) and yet also be valued (in how poetry) is relatable and drives the reader to want more. The author had created many diverse personalities in his characters and their interplay is part of this novel’s charm. Great work!

So the author's way of writing is unique and slow-paced, but it isn't disappointing at all. It was indeed impressive how it made me read until the end XD. The character Benjiro relates a lot to me and I am sure he will relate to a lot of people too, he is a quiet person who is observant and also socially anxious, This book is indeed impressive, it gives me like anime vibe. The first few chapters will make you understand leads. The grammar is great, and the author described things precisely making my imagination more clear. Everything is great but I wish the update was often quite often, maybe at least 3 times a week. Your readers will love that. Also, it would be better if you put a cover, it doesn't have to be professional, just make something eye-catching and put it. This deserves so much attention!

Well i have to say you did a great job in your punctuation, I like the way that the first chapter is essentially focused on Benjiro’s day to day. His interaction with the girl was silly yes but also very interesting at the same time, you did a good job.

I like the way that the first chapter is essentially focused on Benjiro’s day to day, and within that we get specific details about the kind of person he is and some nice characterization. His interaction with the girl was silly but interesting, and I also think it did a lot to reveal context for her personality as well! Like what the other reviewer mentioned, it might be good to update more regularly. Overall, I like it!

Judging by a story perspective, this thing was a really fun read. I grew attached to Benjiro with just one chapter, and the female lead whom I can't remember the name to was also really good. The way you create dialogue is stunning so keep at it and the pace you give your story is also really good. Best of luck to you man. You really deserve way more reads.

Interesting. The writing quality is decent. The description is detailed at the same time not: just balanced. Character development is good. The only problem is updating stability. You should update every day. All in all a good novel to read.

The synopsis is short and nice. It can catch the eye of the readers and reading one chapter and reviewing is quite difficult but also the first chapter seems good for the start.

There is still no updates, so i cant judge that. however, i doesn't want to affect the result with a 0 star on Updates. The characters are good and culturally well located. the names are fine. its still early to tell where the story will go BUT i want to follow it
