- ShadowKnight6992Royal Road★★★★★ 5.0The novel is really well written so far the world building isn't the best so far but it's 12 chapters and the Mc is a scorpion in the middle of an enormous desert so I'm happy that it's not like "to your left you see sand and if you look to your right, even more sand"
the Mc is really good as in he's ok with killing for defence and levelling, which is really nice and he seems like a good thinker, he can see what he needs and what can benefit him later on so big plus. - PakoRoyal Road★★★ 3.0It is the norm to either choose to write in present tense or past tense to describe what happens in the scenes. Either "He went and did this and that. He enjoyed it and returned home" or "He decides to go. Doing this and that is enjoyable. Now, he returns home". The second is difficult to pull off and often sounds weird, but can be done very well.
This book mixes tenses constantly, often producing grammatically incorrect sentences. Usually it just sounds off.
"He considered whether to go there and goes."
It is easy to fix, just make use of any free editing aid software like grammarly, this story is good if you ignore the tenses. Nice idea. - Trumpet_42Royal Road★★★ 3.0I really want to like this story, the MC is fun, the story itself is solid so far. Overall it's shaping up to be a good one, except for one glaring weakness, the grammar. This story is rife with grammar mistakes. The most egregious of which is likely the fact that nearly every verb is the incorrect tense. If you can look past the mistakes you'll probably like 'Sting Them to Death', sadly I can't. What's strange to me is that these mistakes are so basic that even the free version of Grammarly would catch most of the glaring issues. I don't know why the author doesn't use it. I also hope the author doesn't take this criticism to harshly as I intend no offense and I hope they continue writing and improving.
