- Emi_The_FairyRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0A very cute and fun story so far that has plenty of interesting themes. Excited where it goes from here.
The writing's tenses can be a little distracting at times, and some of the wording could be clearer.
On the positives the character writing is very enjoyable and distinctive. The worldbuilding is also very interesting and compelling, especially with how it affects how the characters view the world and their developments.
Looking forward to more. - Omni RavenRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0I'm only in the first few chapters and this has bring tears to my eyes I can't wait to see what happens next. It's a truly beautiful story. The pacing and polt is amazing. Little to none grammar errors not that you would notice them. The characters are simple but well thought out with lots of room for growth. A huge point in this story is facing the truth of things, and questioning common sense. I hope this gains more publicity; I'm happy I stumbled upon it.
- TotallySaneRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Loved your story.
I hope you're doing good, and I also hope that even though since the last chapter it has been a while, that you haven't given up on the story, that someday when I check on the story there'll be a new one.
I just hope the mc gets a little stronger, or more resilient as the story progresses. I'm not talking about making her a mary sue, just that it feels kind of wrong, that a nick of an arrow can spell her doom.
edit: wohoo, you're back! - BullerRoyal Road★★★★★ 4.5I personally counted four paragraphs in a row that was started with "The girl." I might have missed a five repeater earlier on, but I wasn't paying attention to it at that point. If I had to describe this shortcoming in more clear words, the author simply has trouble referring to the MC in a more varied way. I would suggest also trying to put the focus more on the world around "The girl," rather than just tell us more and more of her actions and what she is thinking about. It would certainly help with the immersion if the reader was more easily able to visualize the surroundings.
I would also say something about the tensing, but that would border on extreme bias. Therefore, I'll leave the final comments as an okay Grammar, good enough characters, and a plot that has a decent start. 4.5/5
PS. Also needed to mention that this fiction has the perfect amount of French in it. - JonsoonRoyal Road★★★★★ 4.5Overall, brilliant characters, and a suspenseful story. Some work can be done on the style and grammar, but the faults in those areas are only minor and barely hindered my enjoyment of the story.
Style: This prose is sparse, fast paced, and utilizes a lot of telling. This leads to a story that progresses quickly and is thus perfect for webnovels. However, as someone who isn't super experienced with webnovels and is more accustomed to more traditional style of novel the prose isn't perfect for me.
Despite the story being truly captivating, I fail to get immersed or picture what's going on in the story due to the lack of description and the use of weak verbs.
Due to the lack of sentence variety there's also a lack of rhythm and flow in the prose.
However, it is, again, a matter of personal preference. From what I've seen this is pretty normal in the webnovel sphere. So if you're familiar with that style, then you'll like this, if not, then that might be an issue.
Story: This is a brilliantly fast paced character-driven narrative that at one hand feels like a wholesome slice of life, but on the other hand feels like a suspenseful thriller. The premise of an innocent girl getting trapped inside the body of a demon, who then has to try and survive in a society that hates and fears demons has been executed perfectly thus-far, and there are lots of ominous and intriguing hints as to how that idea will later on develop.
Grammar: This is an early draft so I wasn't suprised to see there were quite a few grammar mistakes. Once they're fixed I'll make sure to increase the score. But for now, I think it makes sense to leave it like this.
Character score: The character writing in this story is far above the average that we recieve on this website. They're not just friendless and min-maxing monster farming AI; they're human beings who have human motivations, friendships, families, opposing worldviews, and dynamic beliefs/personalities. The characters we follow in this story, Lun - haikuotiankongRoyal Road★★★★ 3.5There are some grammatical and spelling mistakes but otherwise this work has a decent plot with relatable characters. Also it excels in having some flashback and background lore as a good attribute of this work. Though this work is currently on hiatus, I look forward to its plot continuing in the near future.
