Bob's Book

Description
Bob has a dream.
He wants to write a book. Not the Next Great American Novel. Not a titan for the ages. Not even a bestseller.
Bob wants to write a popular webnovel.
His only problem is: He doesn't really know how to write. Or market. Or do social media.
But Bob has an Ace up his sleeve - he has a special friend, who bestow him with writing skills. Only, his... friend, wants something in return.
(Bob doesn't care what that "something" is. He just wants his stats to improve)
Join Bob as he overcomes obstacles on the way to writing a smash hit web novel!

Author's note:
This is my... overspill project. That is. I'll write when I need to clear my head. Like a palate cleanser, in between the "serious" writing.
Don't expect seriousness. Or consistency. This is just for fun.

- CKJ5Royal Road★★★★★ 4.5I hope people will keep in mind this review is based on only one chapter of the story: Bob’s Book, and does not necessarily reflect the entirety of it. Okay, now that's of the way, let’s get into it.
Pros:
The author doesn’t waste any time introducing us to the main plot. They very quickly get the MC’s story rolling and raises some questions that, as a reader, I would want to be answered.
Cons:
The situation that Bob is in is a realistic one and one that hits close to home, but I am unsure if I care about Bob because I never felt any attachment to him before he was gifted the ability to plot by a siren. I understand the author wanted to get the story started, but I felt like I didn’t know Bob well enough to want to root for him or even care about him.
Grammatically, the first chapter could use some more polish. Mostly basic niggling grammatical errors that could be buffed out with a few editing passes.
Overall:
The first chapter gets us into the story quickly but fails to make us connect with the MC. I think if the author could figure out a way to make the readers connect with Bob, they would have a solid start to their story.
