Title: Eclipsed World: Midnight Survivor
Author: MeowMeow422

title: 3/5
before we begin, i will say that i have already read this author's works although that was mostly fluff hehe. clearly, as we can see by the title, this is a very different genre. 

as it said in the form, it's a dark fantasy with adventure as its subgenre. which is very relevant. 

now, i would like to point out that usually, i do the title and the cover review entirely off my first impression. i have NOT read the book at this point. and according to that, this is what i think about it:

crispy, sure. comes at you with a bang...until that bang gets washed up coz of the length of the title. now don't get me wrong, i LOOOOOOVE big titles, but mostly when they are quirky. a long, or even a fragmented title is a little off putting. i mean, until you have sequels to the story, such a profound title is not required.

it is very good for sure, but it might turn people a little off. especially if this story is meant for the young population of wattpad, because teenagers (much like me) don't like fragmented titles until it like a really famous fantasy series. yes, we are judgemental that way :( 

cover: 3/10
honey, no. 

i think i have told you this before as well, but your covers are a bit too much or a too less. in this case, it's messy.

like the title is not even aligned MY GOODNESS and babe, the font is too large for it to fit in nicely even if you fixed the alignment. plus, while at first look it doesn't seem so but there is SO MUCH going on in the cover. there's a random moon-sun sorta symbol behind the title (ig it does relate to the title tho. sorta.) and there is this little blobs of light in the girl's cheeks and while the selection of the girl is AWESOME, the way you have arranged it ruined it all.

now i am no designer, but i hope these points are helpful:
-- change the font type and colour and position and eVeRtHiNg about it because neon pink and blue does NOT go with the theme. if there is one at all.
-- get rid of the extra elements. they are not filling up the negative space. they are ruining the cover.
-- make the cover layered and with loads of contrast.
-- add things relevant to your story but not tooooo much okie?
-- get help from a graphic designer (dm me if you wanna know some)

blurb: 7.5/10
this is my review before i have started reading the actual book:

LOVED the whole well-i-guess-im-a-warrior-now-but-damn-school-is-really-killing-me vibes i get from the blurb. like, a lot of ppl (please don't judge my wrong english i'm on my phone and in past year, i have absolutely forgotten how to type on one) forget to give our heroes an actual private life. love it. it's fresh but at the same time makes one relate to the character so damn much. did i mention i love it?

let's go through this para by para, but there's not much of a need. the blurb is great. honestly. it seemed like a very gen z kinda situation and i like it. there's only some pointers you need to know:

-- "is the sole survivor of the mysterious Mayonaka clan"

okay, so who tf are the mayonaka clan? how do they matter? like you mention them like literally in the first line of the blurb, but there's no relevancy revealed for them later in the story? it's actually better if you don't talk about them at all instead of just dropping them and not giving any context.
