- Yohan T. NormieRoyal Road★★★★ 3.5It is hard to review the story, as each chapter is a new story in itself. Well at least for now. It seems that this book is a collection of short stories about individuals having shitty lives. I might be wrong, but at the time I write this review only four chapters are out.
Characterwise, since each chaps have their own MC it is very hard to judge. There are two possibilities. If each chap is a story of its own then the characters aren't developped enough. However, if the characters are somewhat linked down the line, then it might become interesting.
The style is... not something I'm fund of. The descriptions are reduced to the strict minimum, or are nonexistent. The description focus more on the characters' feelings and thoughts, but I could never really from a real picture of their surroundings.
The grammar is correct, but could use an edit. Word choices however can be confusing at times. Check out some of the edit proposition I've made, it should help you out. Though, I haven't pointed out everything I found. Also, try to avoid complicated word choices for now. Look for more simplistic terms. Yes, they are less stylish, but your story will become clearer. Later on, when you've gained experience, you can come back and add some stylish word choices.
Overall, I think the concept is intriguing, but the updates aren't consistent. Be mindful of your deadlines, author.
Courage, and keep up the good work!
