GODLY

Cover - 3/5

The cover you are using is straightforward. But when I've read your book, I think it would be better to use more background effects as we are talking about werewolves and different kinds of hybrids. People will be attracted if the whole image of your story is summarized on the cover.

Title: 4/5

At first, I have no idea why the title was 'Godly,' but when I've read the book, I already get the meaning of your title.

Blurb - 10/10

I gave a perfect score because your blurb is at the average length. It gave a proper description and balanced information so that the readers are not spoiled but intrigued.

Plot - 9/10

I have this feeling that your book is a mixture of different ideas from movies, anime, and books. I can't sum it all up but having this kind of idea is very creative since you've been inspired by great things to make a marvelous story out of it.

Although the plot seemed too fast to the point that there was not enough screentime for the other essential side characters, I know that this book revolves around Eren, but it would be ideal for giving other characters or events a crucial part. In this way, your reader will itch to read more of your book.

You already have a great plot that doesn't bore people. It's a mystery, humor, and a werewolves au at the same time.

It's simply unique and entertaining. I love how you drop twists, although some of the plot twists are too expected to create a slight plot hole.

Flow - 8/10

The flow is fast; it couldn't hold the mystery a little longer since it was already aired in the first couple of five chapters and more.

Instead of focusing on events with the characters, I suggest focusing on the characters since they are the ones who'll give life and action to your imagination.

In mystery, it's necessary to be in a slow-paced manner so that your readers will be eager to read more and more until their questions are answered.

Start by making your character more mysterious as they seem and make scenes buttery to give a slow but smooth transition to the current events your characters are facing.

Grammar/writing style/vocabulary - 12/15

Your writing style is simple, that you are straight to the point when giving out descriptions. Some dialogue lacks dialogue tags that are essential because your readers need to know what kind of emotions and actions they are doing in current events. It'll be hard to identify their feelings even if you have a proper set of punctuations placed in their statement. A descriptive dialogue tag is a must.

Grammar is simple. Some words were changed but still stand up to the same term. You use unnecessary repetitive words that made the description long. In contrast, you have a narrative that can be described in one word.

I suggest using bold and italics since there are words that need to be seen as a priority to some of the hints your character is giving. It would be best to use bold on your Author's note and change of POVs so that your readers are well informed.

Characters - 4/5

The characters have their own story, which is why they are a mess and hungry for revenge. I personally have a favorite character of yours which is Luciana and the detective. They both have different personalities, but they have something in common, being mysterious and savage in humor. I love Eren's confidence when he takes his plans into action.

The light and concise description of your character's emotions is why I know that they smoothly portrayed the person they are.

But, Eren being in the spotlight for too long will harm the side characters as they are essentially just as crucial as Eren is.

Characters development 4/5

Every time they discover something, every character changes their perspective to find clues or answers to their questions. Their development occurred when something happened, and I didn't notice it at first since I thought it was just a drastic change of mood from the central and side characters.

Events that unfold one by one can be why I suspect one of the characters to turn their way to the group, but this is just a mere assumption of mine.

Besides, adding more description to skills and emotions is a must, so it will be easier for us to know who changed or is the real one. Either way, it's up to you if you want that clue to stay lowkey or share it with your readers.

Originality - 8/10

As I've mentioned above, I think your book is inspired by various Anime, Movies, and Books. And there's nothing wrong with that. You literally created a whole new idea and knew what topic people are most interested in.

Reader's enjoyment - 9/10

I love, love, and love the mixed idea in your book. You've portrayed your characters well, you made interesting events and plot twists, and you have the skill to cover up the plot holes.

Overall review - 13/15

I really appreciate how you worked hard for this book. Despite the writing errors, you still managed to present a good book. Minor editing like checking proper punctuations, adding more descriptive dialogue tags, and placing balanced spotlights on your character are needed. There is always room for improvement.

I know you are open to honest critique, I hope I provided the parts that need improvement.
