This screams unique, beautiful, well-written, amazing and enjoyable. This is mind blowing. Author has special skills. Thank you for making my day.

Anemones is a great novel! Mr. Johnson is an interesting character, I mean is he a typical jerk, a male dressmaker swish, and deserved a lesson. Beautifully written! Well done! <3 <3 <3

This is so great. I mean seriously after a long time I can relate to the story. A high-end society and men's world to be done accurately written amazed me so much. I love it. Your writing style is simply so awesome. The characters stand out great. The stories pace is great, it is not so fast or not very slowly. The background of the story is wonderful and perfectly coping up with the storyline. Everyone must read this book. Great work. I highly recommend it.
Wow!!! Beautiful cover page <3 I only started the book (read 15 chaps, will continue during this weekend), but I can honestly say that the story is written very well. I wouldn't mind having a paper copy. Love Alice <3

Amazing start! Exciting premise and the characters are portrayed realistically and are easy to connect to. I can't wait to see more. A great read on a lazy weekend. Good luck, author! The writing is fantastic. Nice work!
Reviewing 20 chapters in - This is a refreshing novel set in the testosterone-driven world of men's publishing. I liked that this was a different take on stories set in the publishing world: not the typical tale showcasing a female's back-stabbing climb to the top of a glamorous woman's magazine, but about how a capable woman can successfully make it in a man's world. The friendships portrayed in the editorial 'boys club' are realistic, Michael also feels like a complex character with a checkered past that is revealed bit by bit in the chapters, making you want to read ahead. The romance element is pretty subdued at chapter 20 - but I'm expecting more twists and turns ahead!
I really think that your writing has improved since I last read your works! I think my main impression of your works in general are that they are always a balance between realism and idealism, and I must admit that this piece has lived up to my expectations! The story progresses smoothly, and I find that I can easily grasp the characters' surroundings and personalities. Also also also can I say that I LOVE your food imagery (kekek I'm so hungry now ;-;)
Your writing quality is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. I love the characters and the descriptions, they are so unique and perfectly written. Great Job!!!!!!
An amazing work, a great addition to my library. The storyline is unique and captivating, makes you waiting for more. Looking forward to more chapters. Keep up author xx
I tend to grill stories over a fire (pun intended as per the food in the first chapter), but I just want to say that I enjoyed yours thoroughly! Here are my notes: ~While synopses are also my weak point, I think it would help to flesh out the synopsis a little! It has a completely different tone when compared to the story I opened up. I saw in a comment that you wanted to deviate from the norm, and that's fine! I just think it would help to include a character name or two in it and perhaps a little about the main conflict alongside what you have written there. It reads like a review on the back of a published book. ~The combination of food and romance is always one of my favorites, and your opening certainly made me hungry with the vivid description. The first chapter also quickly sold me on Michael's character! He seems like a really interesting--if somewhat desperate--person here, even if he isn't as present or likeable in the following chapters. I do wonder what becomes of this plot as the flashbacks last a long time. ~Grammar and punctuation are always the first things I notice, and you did a very good job on these aspects of writing! There are some small errors, but there's no consistent mistake on which I can comment without getting too detailed. I'll try to list a few of the smaller ones (aside from obvious typos). You have some run-on sentences (with several extra clauses) that could be fixed by em dashes or semicolons! The other tiny issue is that you capitalize the dialogue tag after an exclamation point or question mark. Sometimes, you have redundancies like "he was acting quite hasty in his actions" in Chapter 4. (Another one in the same chapter is the mention of silence in both the narration and dialogue.) The tense sometimes also changes between paragraphs. ~The vocabulary is very impressive! I even had to search for some words. The story has a good style and voice overall. Sometimes, though, the word choice is a little vague and imprecise in the sections with a lot of description. I found myself re-reading these parts to figure out who or what was being described. ~The starting conflicts are great! It seems like Michael has some issues with his masculinity (as he feels especially threatened by a woman being in charge and thinks of gayness negatively) while feeling like he's deserving of a promotion! ~I'm very glad you don't bring in Michael's misogyny (and the office's as well) until after the first chapter as it could be very alienating. It seems like he is very oblivious to his own flaws and work skills (playing around, procrastinating, drinking, etc), but I'm glad the reasons behind some of his beliefs are explained in Chapter 12. ~The dialogue sometimes feels stiff and disjointed. I noticed this mainly during Michael's interactions with his co-workers (subordinates?). For someone who parties a lot, he speaks too formally or in very tiny sentences. Alice also speaks very stiffly towards Nicolas (with whom she seems to have a close friendship), though this fits her personality more than Michael's. I have a feeling a lot of the awkwardness is from the lack of contractions and the overuse of "friend". (Something like "buddy/bud" or "dude" fits these guys more. Maybe even a nickname would work since they like to taunt each other.) It might help to read some of these lines aloud, though the dialogue improves as the story progresses. ~Alex feels the most natural in this sense, and he's by far my favorite character! ~When writing stuttering or any kind of speech variation beyond a single instance, you can simply state how the person is speaking in the dialogue tag. (For instance, in Chapter 9 with Carl, he supposedly stutters but seems to drag out his vowels. You could have simply stated how he drawled or prolonged his vowels while gaping... or something similar.) ~(For a fun note from me: The guys in the office really make me think of working with my school's yearbook staff! The general vibe of these scenes fits well with how things tend to go while producing that type of publication, though I'm aware the stakes and tensions are much higher in the actual industry.) ~Alice doesn't have nearly as much characterization as the rest of the office. (Perhaps this is intended at this point in the novel.) Her main traits are being cold, strict, and didactic in a sense, and she is treated poorly. I'd be interested in seeing how she internally feels about the sexual comments and taunts. Even if it isn't obvious externally, those kinds of things gradually break someone down--regardless of how tough they are or how well they hide it. I'm also curious about what motivates her to put up with these remarks. (Sometimes, they feel a bit excessive as it's established pretty quickly how she's a "witch" in the eyes of the office.) ~While there were some standout personalities among the guys in the office (namely, Alex, Thomas, and Nicolas), a lot of them blended together and had little physical description to compensate. This might just be my poor memory, though! ~I feel like there could be a better transition or lead into the short section (Chapter 7) about Nicolas being a lecturer! It feels a little out of place the way it's presented. The ending of this chapter might have felt more like a cliffhanger if you had ended it with them seeing Alice enter the car rather than on a piece of dialogue! ~You have a typo in your title for chapter 20! ~I would like to read more, but unfortunately, I'm a student who can't beg my mom for money to use on Webnovel. For this, I apologize! I'm sure the rest of your story is fantastic from what I was able to read of it. I'll consider coming back to read more when I collect fast passes (or get money... whichever comes first). Honestly, I had to nitpick a *lot* to write a review, so this story is great! Genuinely, this is wonderful! I ended up binging it very quickly!

Interesting story that is different from others that I have read on WN. I have only read a few chapters, but I am already deeply intrigued by the story and interested to see where it goes next. The author does a good job presenting the characters and writing about the world in a way that allows you to create an image in your mind of what they have written. There are a few grammar and tense issues in the writing, which disturbs the flow of writing. For those who are interested in reading something different and unique, I would recommend giving this novel a try. Author also put a lot into each chapter they write.
This story is utterly marvelous. It's very well detailed, has a great plotline, and the writing style was brilliant. The characters were authentic, and it's gratifying to read a society-based story. Despite the plot, it was refreshing to read because it wasn't cliché or cringy.
what a story author ,such an intriguing plot , I am reviewing after reading fifteen chapters. The writing is very good, I like it. I will read more so keep updating .
This is a well-written story with a strong female lead. Writing quality is great. The story development was carefully thought out and the characters grow with it. If you like a romance story with a strong female lead, this one is for you. An excellent one from the author., :)
Cool twist on a normal world. Kind of an odd theme to write about, but it is original and cool. Im more of a mans man. So the whole feminine thing really is not my cup of tea. Id assume this would be a great novel for those that have those tastes tho! Great writing and plotline! Excellent detail and deep characters!
The first time I read the title, I felt a little weird. But after I read the synopsis, I knew that it would be a very special story. Different from anything I've ever read. It was true. I like the setting of the novel. Simple language. Highly recommended. I will wait for more chapters.
A great CEO type novel. The twist in events were well built up, the characters were realistic and well written as well. It's a great read for anyone tired of the vampire or system type novels that I see a lot on Web Novel.
This story has very fresh concept. How story start as the male lead is preparing a romantic dinner for his love Interest and in next chapter it gave a picture of rivalry. Ahaha amazing flip. I like both the male and female characters where mape lead is trying to turn over a new leaf and changing his bad habits. Which is very relatable with a realife. On the other hand female lead is combination if three B. Beauty, brain and bank balance. She is smart crafty and strong. Dominating the whole editorial office single handedly. The world building is very good and writing quality is excellent. Story Develope smoothly and never fail to maintain your attention. Im really looking forward to read more chap and see how their date go. Well done author. Best of luck for many more amazing stories.
I'm really enjoying my dive into this world so far! The author has a well developed writer's voice that comes through clearly in their descriptions of the characters and the world around them. I particularly like the descriptions of food (yum!) The characters so far are interesting and unique, and have their own developed flaws and personality traits. The author is also well versed in English grammar and style and the writing flows naturally and paints a vivid picture. Keep up the good work, looking forward to reading more!
Truly fascinating and captivating. well done author would like to see more of your work!! Reminds me of all the stories I loved to read in the past and it is a definitely a must read.
Story is really interesting enough and hooking readers to find out what will happen in the next chapter. However there is a flaw. The book cover needs to be change and a better one needs to replace it. Aside this, this book is one of the best
You guys should read this book. You will be surprised how good it is. Good character development and vocabulary. I can't wait to see more from this author. Good job author <3
The plot is quite unique and interesting. The characters and the environment details are very described. The novel is very well presented in a good structural format and the choice of words is great. Well written. Keep Going!!!
So where do I start? lol just kidding! I read the first chapter and I was immediately hooked the moment I started! It's an intriguing read and I always loved such novels. The plot line looks interesting and I'm intrigued to learn how things will turn out! Btw, the opening lines were amazing, author! well done! great job! 👌👍😌😊 Keep updating! 🌸👍
This book has potentials, though the beginning got a little confusing but as I kept reading it got better.❤❤ Keep doing what you do dear author👍
