  I'm not sure if its the character, style or simply the story. However, first chapter in and I already felt certain emotions that made feel stunned, this story simply moved me and made me want to read more.
  The story itself is simply amazing since there are a lot of description allowing you to imagine the story in your mind and allows you empathize or at least imagine whats is currently happening inside the characters.
  The story has a good flow and the style of the story matches with its overall theme, there are suspense and tension. While it can easily brings out the sadness and misery of the MC.
  For grammar score its a 5 simply because there aren't any grammar mistake that I can spot while reading this story.
  The story itself is still only starting however the setting of the story is interesting and there are mysteries that enshroud the MC's past. The development of the current story is quite unique since there are mysteries that you have wonder and think about and makes you curious whats going to happen next or what secrets are being kept in the darkness.
  For character score I'll have to give it a 5 as well, I thought the character was brought into real life expressing and thinking about different emotions and thoughts. She is also trying to change her life making her emotion even more like a roller coaster.

  ★★★★★ 4.5

  Please note that I grade with 2.5 Stars being the average among stories, NOT 5 stars.
  Overall: 4.5
  Simple analysis:
  The style of this story is interestingly uncommon.
  In a short explanation: it is similar to Classical translated literature.
  There isn't a grammar issue as much as sentence construction, several sentences that appear are uncommon in English or are an unusual variant of the phrase.
  Grammar often isn't noticeable because we only really care about it when it IS a problem. The grammar usage in this story is better than a majority of the other RRL stories, and while it isn't anywhere near perfect, it's still very good.
  Every character has a past.
  Many modern stories have characters that actions as acting due to their social position, or the influence of their peers, this story is unusual because most actions are dictated by their past instead of how they "should" act it feels more like how they "would" act. Ultimately this creates many interactions which are somewhat uncommon currently, adding to the interest of the story.
  A good story is hard to write, too slow and you lose interest, too fast, and it looks rushed.
  While the style of this story would make one wish the chapters were longer and more plentiful, the story itself is really interesting and has a lot of potential for the future. While I severely hope this has a shorter run time than a story like Naruto, I have high hopes for the future of this story overall.
  GOING DEEPER ANALYSIS:
  Style: 4/5
  at length, there are many parts to this style which make it interesting.
  Lexile scoring is a concept that is being adopted by several American schools, it breaks down the "reading level" of a reader and matches it to the "complexity" of a literary work.
  If someone were to smooth out the grammar mistakes of a hundred RRL works the majority would fall into an elementary or middle school rating as they're meant to be simple. This one would probably rank on a high school level.
  This obviously implies that this sty
