But the first chapter would only allow you to see grammar and the premise of the story. Its like writing a review based on the back of a book.Because usually, you can judge the quality of the whole novel based on the first chapter.
You can just tell when the writing is kinda shit.Because usually, you can judge the quality of the whole novel based on the first chapter. Yes. After you've read the whole thing.
I think some people post reviews on first chapter because the longer your review exists the more likely your review gets a like. The more likes it gets, the more likely it is to be on topDoes anyone else feel like the reviews are often lacklustre? When is it even a good time to post a review?

Yes. We editors expect to make some corrections, but if we don't even enjoy how the story starts, we copy/paste a standard rejection email and pull another manuscript from the slush pile.of course the grammar and general writing ability and all the other stuff that professional writers/editors look for.

Silent 1* with only a single chapter up and with decent grammar and style are usually troll ratings. Yep, this happens in SH a lot, especially in its earlier years.You get a review after 1 chapter bro? I only got silent 1 star rating without any feedback. You're still lucky
