|Title| "I know the title is quite clichè. Do you have any more creative/original titles?" I actually love the title. I've never seen any other book with the same title. It's memorable and makes sense. Of course if you really do have your heart set on changing it; you should. You know what's best for your story, but I do like it how it is.
|Cover| You mentioned changing the cover. It's very simple, but simple can be better than busy and messy. If you do change it maybe change it to something a little more bright and eye catching? The cover is definitely nice to look at, but a brighter cover might get more attention .

Short and sweet summaries are definitely the way to go on Wattpad. I think keeping them both interesting and straight to the point is the way to get people interested in reading more. I think anyone who's looking for Shirbert fanfic finds Gilbert returning to Avonlea to be very interesting. My only suggestions would be changing the line "and what has happened to Anne". It's just very vague. Maybe mention something about how they find themselves on a wild adventure filled with robbers and etcetera. Something along those lines maybe?
|Plot| The plot of this fanfic is wild — and I mean that as a good thing. It's exciting and original. While the plot of many fanfics center around relationships, this is an adventure story, which I love. I only have one suggestion: don't be afraid to slow down. The plot is constantly going and going, and while conflict is a necessity to plot, it is not the only necessity. Your work has lots of cute moments mixed in with the adventure, but sometimes the excitement can become a bit too much. I wouldn't change what you have, I love the adventure feel of the story, but just keep in mind that it's okay to have a quiet, peaceful moment here and there. Don't be worried about boring your readers. If you feel like you need to keep throwing conflicts at them to keep them interested, don't worry about that; they might even enjoy a break from the action packed, rapid pace of the story. But overall, AMAZING job developing a plot like this. Usually fanfics have very simple (and often clichè) plotlines but this one is well thought out and unique. It very much feels like it's own story, not just a fanfic.
|Characters| Everyone is SO in character in this story. This is what I look for most in fanfics. If they are out of character, I have a hard time reading them. I love how you have Anne get mad at Gilbert upon their reunion, and I love the Shirbert banter. Overall Shirbert is just done really well. They have a lot of really cute moments (that are all in character which is the best). The beginning chapter is so in character for Gilbert. I love when he's debating about giving Anne flowers. Also, Gilbert and Diana is a duo we deserve. I love them so much. Anne is also very in character. She's brave, smart and stubborn (my only suggestion would be adding more about her imagination) and you really showcase her ability to survive in difficult situations.
|Originality| I kinda already said this before but your story is very original, for one thing because of how it focuses more on adventure rather than relationships. Never read an AWAE fanfic like it.
|Writing| "How's my writing?" Your writing is amazing. The part where Gilbert returns to school is especially well written. I could just picture it in my head so well. I really can't offer much criticism here. Just keep doing what you are doing.
|Questions| All questions are above in italics. Usually I reply to answers here but all your questions just fit better throughout the review :)
|Overall| This is a very well written, unique and exciting adventure story about our favorites from AWAE. I highly recommend. One of the best AWAE fanfics I have encountered. I'll tag the author down below for any of you who would like to read (which you should)
