- LeeMickRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0This has been a fun twist to the old "reborn as a core" plot and there seems to be a general growth for the writer from 1 to 20 chapter
I hope there is more coming but it seems to be stalled at the moment
May you figure out how it goes from here soon
Good Day - QueenInRagsRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0A great Quick And Faced paced dungeon novel. Its core premise of a mobile dungeon allows it a wider range of options with a biological theme. I rather do love the idea of an iceberg dungeon and applaud the author for their ingenuity.
If anything my only gripe would have to be how things aren't described as verbosely as I would like. This kind of leads to a lack of overall high-level diction and word choice, but for a web novel, it's honestly not that bad.
Good Job Author keep it up for the penguins !!! - VallinfordRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Great start do unique style of dungeon. Would love more background information about the world that this takes place in. Also need more Constant to keep updating author you're doing good work here.
Really 50 words long I am not the best at writing and don't do that often. so yaw! - BrianRoyal Road★★★★ 4.0Enjoying your creation and looking forward to more.
Maybe you can have Amy remember jet skis. Water jet propulsion is essentially large intake with smaller outlet. Made outlet movable or add rudder for steering. Or with two jets you can very output for steering. Much less graceful though.
Keep up the great work! - hakatri ginRoyal Road★★★ 3.0Im only at chapter 7, so take this with skeptiscism if you want
This one feels slow, that wont be a problem if there weas worldbuilding to be done, but so far its generic dungeon stuff
I think my biggest problem is how the MC just knows how to do stuff, without having skills
A character that is discovering stuff as they go would be ok, but someone who somehow knows to do things, and is still slow seems even slower
There is nothing really wrong besides the speed, so its up to you to decide if you are in the mood for it - YardSaleRoyal Road★★ 2.0There is definitely room for improvement in this one. The story suffers from several problems. One of the biggest problems is that the author needs to show and not tell. This is compounded by the third person perspective. Which leaves you reading what is essentialy a narration of events (ie Amy did this, Amy did that).
Next is characterization. The main character has absolutely no personality to speak of. This problem is exacerbated by the fact that the main character is, as of the point I stoped reading, the only character. Without an interesting or engaging personality in the protagonist I'm just not invested in what happens to Her. The iceberg could sink and I honestly wouldn't care. The author needs to work on who their character is, why they behave the way they do, and adding some emotion or personality traits to make the character relatable.
The final major problem is that failure is not an option. Amy makes many, many assumptions about her situation and how the world works based mostly on "novels from earth" and is almost always correct. The failures, only one involving blowing up a single snail actually comes to mind, are followed almost immeadly by success. Everything just seems far too easy for Amy. The author need to keep in mind that failure is actually a great opportunity in a story. It can provide tension and conflict, an opportunity for character development and growth, or a chances for the character to to show frustration and emotions making them more relatable to the reader.
I won't say it's a major problem because it's still fairly early in the story but there is a distinct lack of conflict. This is can be a driving force in any story, and the author could improve their writing by working some into the plot.
On a more personal note, why are fantasy novels a reliable guide to other worlds? That's like saying Aliens are all attractive green women because Star Treck. It's not actually an area of this story that needs any work. It is
