    An intriguing tale with an oddly solemn (though not at all hopeless) mood and setting; I found it intriguing. The writing style complements the general atmosphere: it takes more of a background to the story, the plot, the characters (and the first person POV was a great choice - it really puts you in the mind of the protagonist and adds to the slightly thriller-like vibe that pervades at times).

    Style: The story's style is great. The author's word choice is very fitting and the way of writing is unique. It captures the feeling the setting is supposed to convey; however, there aren't many literary devices.
    Story: The story is very well-paced, getting to where it needs to get to when it needs to get there. The plot also develops at a pretty good rate. The plot itself is simple but effective. The main character is trapped in a desolate town filled with werewolves. It's a bit like a zombie apocalypse story, honestly. The only caveat that I'd like to give is that there's a certain amount of sexual content. It isn't anything that you'd need to put in a content warning for, but it is enough that a massive prude like me was a bit offput. Still, this is a personal preference thing and not anything objective, so it doesn't make the story worse.
    Grammar: There is an error that is distracting from the story. Aside from that, there aren't any distractions.
    Character: The characters in the story are pretty well-depicted and some of them are realistic. However, not all of them are 3 dimensional. In fact, only the main character is even somewhat 3 dimensional. Still, the characters can be entertaining and fulfill the role in the story that they need to. The main character can be a bit annoying, but that might just be a me thing, so I didn't mark the story down for it.

    Not the usual kind of thing I read, but not bad. There's some grammar that could do with sorting out, and occasionally the MC comes across as an example of r/menwritingwomen, but it's a simple enough adventure with the first set of antagonists being werewolves, which is always a good time. Also, the trope of an old mentor figure potentially having a heart attack/stroke/other and comically dying or appearing to die within the first few chapters is always kind of funny to me.

    ★★★ 3.0
    The choice of words is a bit off like 'i moaned awake'. Also unnecessary information like breasts jiggling doesn't seem to factor in unless that's the vibe you want to create with a subtle sexual undertone. The mc is also our view into the world, so she should be learning a lot of things as she passes on. She should also have a logical character, like no one takes a suspicious apple from a random old lady they met for the first time in another world. Also I guess her aversion to men can be a plot point or characteristic she needs to overcome yet still without any background info or a prologue explaining this, it seems so unreasonable and on the noise. The action scenes with beast lurking in the shadows/ aka the werewolves could have a lot more tension and mystery. The female MC also seems lifeless and doesn't react completely to being suddenly put in such a situation. Being told from a first person perspective, this really takes away from the immersion. But keep at it, we all have to work out the kinks in our writing and it's not easy.
