NEW CONTEST THIS WEEK!

So as far as I can see on the SYS book I haven’t been put into a group, so I’ll just post this here. Review for @ch_rose (Norse Code) Hope this review helps =] It’s not intended to discourage you in any way, and everything is opinion. And sorry it’s so long XD. Firstly I want to start by saying I love this concept! I personally love gods and mythology, and it’s nice to see something a bit different on Wattpad. The way your characters dreams are linked to her life and past is a really cool element. You start your chapters with some very catchy opening lines (especially the first chapter) which immediately encourages the reader to want to read more. This is an excellent skill to have. I like the way that you use your MC to question the reader throughout the chapters. This allows the reader to connect on a different level with the MC, and the humor produced through this is a nice addition. I noticed that you often miss periods after your speech. An easy thing to fix with editing but something I saw throughout. This will just improve the readability of your story. I love the characters you’ve created, especially the MC, but felt on a could of occasions characters reactions were a little unrealistic. Like when Erica leaves with Frederick, and also Erica’s mothers reaction to her leaving all of a sudden for months. I feel maybe more emotion could be shown at times like these to really get the reader to understand how the character is feeling. The only other thing I would say Is to maybe describe the surroundings a little more. It will really set the scene and immerse the reader that bit more. A fantastic start to your story though! Well done =]
Thanks so much for the detailed feedback. I’m going to be looking into the grammar, as I don’t know why I’ve gone comma crazy XD. Also the mention of the paragraphs being a little too long. I’ll look into addressing that too! I’m so glad you enjoyed my book and want to carry on reading =] Thanks again xx

@Aspecialhooman this is your review for the Art of Feminism. I really love your narrative perspective from the story. It’s really interesting and I haven’t really seen the author interact with the characters like that before. I like your switching POV between your characters and your use of dialogue. It’s an interesting concept and I’m excited to see where you go with the discussion of gender issues and feminism. There are quite a few grammatical and punctuation errors so I would just recommend checking back over it. Other than that congrats you’re doing amazing.
@Authoresta @SGnGigi For me, I like to read a solid amount of 10 chapters to get a better feel for the story, but from what I can tell, I expect many twists and conflicts for and between the protagonists. Well done on an interesting story and I look forward to seeing how it turns out :-). Keep up with your strengths and improving! P.s I'm sure my story will be riddled with just as many or even more mistakes XD, so I hope this is not disheartening for you.
@SGnGigi Chapter 3 Review For this chapter, I felt that most of the chapter was really an unnecessary fill-in, after the previously effective cliff-hanger. Perhaps skip the scene from the start of the chapter to when she is at the Gala, starting with the chapter a single sentence of her thoughts in the Gala or something else that can pack a punch, especially after the great cliff-hanger in the previous chapter. I just feel it is unnecessary to the story plot or for character development of either of the protagonists. Cliff-hanger at the end was brilliant! Definitely threw me off more than Chapter 2’s cliff-hanger :-D! I can see why you wanted to fill in the chapter but I would still suggest some other way to progress to that cliffhanger. Maybe instead show her dwelling on a flashback that doesn’t reveal anything but just makes the reader ask more questions or some unexpected surprise of that the 'cliff-hanger' made it's presence if you know what I mean. Overall Review I have to say, the cliff-hanger in chapter 3 was awesome. Was not expecting it so well done on that score! In every chapter, you posted a picture to help reader visualisation. For me personally, I like to read the author's description and visualise it myself. I suggest removing the pictures from the chapters and describe it instead as it sort of demonstrates the inability of the writer to describe and immerse the reader into the scene that you are setting, which can be done through pure description. However, these are my thoughts as I'm a bit traditional in that sense, and Wattpad has provided that option to upload pictures, so it is upto you. In regards to grammar and punctuation or word choice, there were few but not many to affect readability, so don't fret over it.

@xtayaxx Thanks a lot for ur kind words! U are really kind enough to bestow me with these sweet words of urs. Yah! I wanted to bring an eerie feeling in the first few chapters but as the plot unfolds there are many funny instances between the Rach and Remo. Thanks again for ur ernest reviews. Please don't mind to notify me if I need to work on some area or the other! Thanks a ton. Tc:p
@pikuthomas I have been super busy; so I am pretty late with the review. Sorry :/ Let's get into the review. I absolutely LOVED your book! The writing style is so good and exciting. Every part of the book was intriguing. My favorite chapter was when Remo met Rachel :) It was too good. Maybe if you could add a few more jokes, to lighten the serious atmosphere then - dun dun dunnn! It would be mind blowing :p I loved how you showed both Remo and Rachel's POV. It is hard to balance two different views of characters; hats off to you! Rachel sometimes reminds me of me. You connect with the readers so well. Your descriptions and cliffhangers are super! I can't wait to read more! Your book is meant for the big screens. Seriously. You are super talented keep the creativity flowing. Enjoy and stay safe :)
@pikuthomas Oh no! You haven't hurt me :) i take all feedback positively! thank you so much for your kind words and I'll keep your advice in mind
