@jomessey Bruh...I'm gonna have to be honest with you: Your story needs work, a lot of it.
Chapter one started off with a third person's POV then, suddenly you switched to Aaliya's POV and like, was it the protagonist thinking? I don't get it. The thoughts are usually put in italics.
Not a Grammar Nazi but mAN, are so many inconsistencies in that book!
The dialogues, don't, what you're doing—do not. It's not a play, you can use words like, said, sneered, snapped, yelled. And even add a pronoun, instead of repeating the names (like Ahad-"dialogue" Aaliya-"dialogue").
Change:
Ahad his head on this hands
to
Ahad walked in, sharply, looking visibly sore. He’s so furious. He runs his hand through his unruly hair. He looks frustrated, angry.
"What's wrong? What happened?" I ask, gently.
Ahad-"What's wrong?....with some other man!"
to
“What's wrong? What's wrong?! After hoeing around I can't believe you have the audacity! The audacity to ask me!” he shouts.
"What are you talking about, Ahad?" I sway a little towards him. Hoping he would calm down I try soothing his shoulders. He flinches grasping them. His lips set in a grim line, he's not happy.
Till the second last para, it was written from Aaliya's POV, the last part is in 3rd person again. Rewrite the chapter, and write it well. Why are you not telling us her thought? Nothing about what the protagonist is thinking, not intriguing at all. 「(°ヘ°)
There's more, but these are major turns-offs to the readers. I hope you correct them, I'm really looking forward to reading more, pls don't get discouraged :)
Love love! ❤
