Title: The Bet

Title
Your title is very mysterious and full of questions sana kung hindi lang masyadong usual. Triny kong isearch and nag-stop ako sa 40 though marami pang kasunod.
However, I suggest that next time you create a title make sure na 'pag binasa magiging remarkable kasi if 'di alam username mo and gusto hanapin story mo hindi mahahanap sa sobrang dami. However, 'Di ko I-susuggest na papalitan kasi dyan na nakilala story mo.Book Cover
I love your book cover, bukod sa si Kathryn ang cover and KN ako uwu. Maganda yung dating, kaso nung una kong nakita kala ko something with fantasy dahil sa kulay ng mata niya, but nevertheless maganda naman ang linaw ng cover tas sakto yung laki ng font na pansin na pansin mo talaga yung title.
Sypnosis
Sobrang well written ng blurp mo. Kuhang kuha mo 'yung magandang flow ng pag-nanarrate and to think na english pa siya. Almost no error sa grammar, common mistakes, and technicalities sa blurp which is good. (Sa loob ng story nga lang may nakita ako, to be discuss later.) You manage to describe well kung ano yung plot ng kwento ng hindi naibibigay lahat pero sapat lang para ma-curious kami. Good job!
Characterization
Xiarra Tennese. Name pa lang ang ganda na ng aura, halatang mayaman and sophisticated brat haha. Sa characterization naman consistent down to her thoughts and lines.
Kay Kyron naman medyo na-confuse lang ako sa usapan nila ni Xian na hindi talaga siya ganun, what does he mean na mabait talaga siya and hindi mahilig sa tricky games but his character sometimes give me that cool aura.
Dialogue and Deliberation
Ganda ng palitan ng line nakakakilig pero hindi pilit natural lang. Gustong gusto ko 'yung sagutan nila mapa-friends or sila ni Kyron haha.
Napansin ko na more of dialogues ka kesa narration pero okay lang naman 'yun kasi hindi lang character ng nasa point of view 'yung nakikilala namin pati 'yung ibang mga characters.
Okay naman 'yung pacing but I suggest kung mag-add ka ng scenes 'di masyado malayo 'yung agwat ng pangyayari, tas scenes sa bahay since ang cutie nun and magkakasense yung paglipat ni Kyron at pagsasama nila hehe.
Medyo mabilis kasi 'yung shifting ng pangyayari bawat chapter kaya sana dahan-dahan lang onti hahaha.
Over all format (Errors and Typos)
I love how you used the mixed of English and Filipino as the language sa story hindi akward at sakto lang 'yung shift ng English and Filipino.
May mga konting grammatical error and techinicalities lang both Filipino amd English. Ito 'yung iba sa mga 'yun.
'Pag hindi nagdedescribe ng dialogue yung next sentence and nag-iindicate na siya ng ibang action, start your sentence with a capital letter.
"Tara," Pabalang na aya ko. ----Wrong
"Tara," pabalang na aya ko. ----Correct"Tara," Tinalikuran ko na siya. ----correct, kasi hindi naman na nagdedescribe sa dialogue. Kasi nag-iindicate na siya ng ibang action.
Always proofread before you post your updates.
Common Filipino Mistakes
Iyan, iyon, iyang, kung walang I, lagyan ng (') sa unahan. 'yan, 'yon, 'yang, 'yung.Learn to use gitling 'pag 'di stand alone yung two words pati na sa mga nauulit na word. May iba na meron may ibang same word pero wala, be consistent lang hehe.
Also it is not formal to prolong the spelling like "namannnnn" pwede ito sa sa chat or text but if you want us to know that pinapahaba niya kasi nagmamakaawa siya or something, you need to narrate that.
Another one is,
"Tell Kyron" is okay, pwede ng walang 'to'."Tell to Kyron" doesn't sound so good. But tinake note ko siya chapter 11 so you can edit it.
Na-coconfuse ka rin sa pag-gamit ng 'nang' and 'ng' you should always check that out. 'Nang' if kasunod usually verb but kung object lang 'ng' ang gagamitin.
Additional comments, thoughts and recommendation
Maganda 'yung plot nag-eenjoy talaga ako sa pagbabasa lalo na sa kakulitan nilang dalawa at parang aso at pusa.
Ulitin ko lang na lagi mong i-che-check bago ka mag-update. Proofread lagi para ma-edit yung nakaligtaan mo.
Other than that I must say na you are a good writer. You deserve all the reads na nakuha mo. Congrats sa 4k reads.
Thoughts about the story:
Super super akong natatawa and kinikilig all throughout medyo light lang 'yung story so magaan lang at 'di mabigat sa loob dahil walang masyadong problema.
Nag-loo-look forward naman ako kung anong part ni Jake sa kanila and kung anong mangyayari sa future.
Keep writing!
There's always room for improvement. So keep expressing your heart out through writing. Thanks for sharing your story!
