Webnovel Author: Chitawulf - Novel Collection

I really love how you dive right into the action. Your writing style is very action-based, there are a lot of vivid and powerful verbs and sensory image that you use that really keep the momentum going and the atmosphere intact. I really like how thoughts are italicized. However, the book is hard to read because you don't insert line breaks during dialogue and during key moments, which breaks the flow a little. Having very short paragraphs with a few words is a very effective way to keep tension. Try this: The flash of scattering heat filled the place and tormented the flesh of two people agonizing in pain, screaming and desperately crawling to get out. Beep beep beep beep. The annoying sound of the alarm clock buzzed to her ears which made her jump and gasp for air. Also, whenever a character says something, insert a line break/make a new paragraph. Other than that, spectacular work!

The details in this book are very well written and vivid - you can really imagine everything that's going on in the story! I also love Xiao Ying's thought process and how easily you can picture his emotions. He's not an emotionless, stone-hearted MC like a lot of other MCs I've seen. He feels very down to earth and relatable in his struggles and insecurities. I also love the unique concept for this novel - having a failed novel author play through his own novel in order to regain his old life back. It's really unique and interested and the beginning got me hooked. Great job with this story, and good luck, this deserves more views!

I really love the beginning parts of this novel. There might not be much out yet but what is out is very well written. The introduction is incredibly gripping and exhilarating for an exposition segment. Even though we're simply being told the background of this character, from page one we're invested in his sorrows. Your writing style is very sophisticated. However, there are some word choices and sentence structures that make some sections of the book hard to read. For example, "Mr. and Mrs. Caraballo assured that he was soggy with a foul smell that from the first day that Jonah was taken to that house took over everything" should be reorganized to something like this - "Mr. and Mrs. Caraballo insisted he was imbued with a foul smell that took over everything since the very day he arrived at the house." The action that the foul smell is doing should come right after it in the sentence, if that makes sense. Sometimes you use complicated words that muddle the true meaning of the sentence, maybe use a thesaurus and pick out some simpler, more direct words? Overall good work!

thank you for your kind review! yes, i took a break from updating, but regular updates will continue tomorrow!

It's obvious that the author put a lot of work into this novel, and I really like how the world is set up. The whole concept of a magical island isn't too unique, but it's still exciting enough to get me invested. There are a lot of spelling, punctuation, and grammar errors, enough to the point where it's hard to read at times. There are a lot of run on sentences that interfere with ease of access. The story heavily relies on dialogue for the most part, but when the author uses descriptive language, it's executed well. I really like the concept of beastmen, and how they're integrated in society, as well as the magic too. One suggestion I'd have is to focus less on telling us things through narration and having enough faith in the reader to allow them to interpret things how they see them. Instead of saying "this scared her" you can use something even as simple as "her eyes opened wide and she gasped" and it still gives the reader the same information - the difference is that the reader can vividly picture her with her eyes open wide, whereas if you just say she was scared, you don't know what to imagine. The more things that are told straight up to us, the harder it is for us to really know what's going on in your story, and the harder it is to follow and stay invested in. Good work and I wish you luck! You've already gotten so much done so far, continue to improve and ask for criticism, it's really nice to see so many reviews on this book.

I absolutely love this MC. He's nothing like any other MC I've seen. A lawful Renaissance mafia boss with a popular bar? It's completely unique and refreshing. There are a few grammar and tense mistakes that are noticeable, but don't really get in the way of reading. The plot and world is very interesting, I'm immersed in the history and the whole city of Trent and how society operates in there. I still don't know the main adventure that Zhou is going to undertake - usually around 10 chapters in, the main conflict of the story is already introduced. The whole beginner mission he has isn't really taken as something super important or difficult, so the tension is really low for the first 10 chapters of this novel. Which is fine, but make sure to include something that raises the stakes for Zhou and makes him question his character in order to not bore the reader further down the road! Great job.

I absolutely love the uniqueness of the MC and his unique dialogue! There are times where it seems a little unrealistic, but there is so much suspense and the exposition is handled naturally. Overall a good read and it keeps you hooked from the very beginning.
