Hey!!!
I've had some mixed experiences with review swaps on a neighboring site. While some have been fantastic and provided me with valuable insights, others left me feeling like the reviewer didn't even bother reading my work. Additionally, there were swaps where I found myself reading something I didn't enjoy, but felt obligated to continue due to the exchange.
So, I've decided to create this new thread (there is a twin thread on a road somewhere). Here's the deal:
Do you need to reciprocate the review? Absolutely not! If you don't feel like it, don't worry about it. I'd rather receive no review at all than a hastily written one. However, feel free to review my fiction if you are willing to commit the same effort I did to yours.
Here are the rules:
I'll read all the fiction submitted on this thread, but if you want to increase your chances of receiving a full, in-depth review, your fiction should fit my personal taste:
Lastly... I'm neither a professional writer nor a reviewer. What you are going to get from me is an honest and deep review of someone who loves to read. That's it! If you don't agree with my review, just ask me, and I'll gladly delete it.

So, I've decided to create this new thread (there is a twin thread on a road somewhere). Here's the deal:
- You submit your fiction
- I'll read it until I either lose interest or run out of time.
- If I lose interest early on, I'll leave a reply in this thread telling why I didn't enjoy your fiction.
- If your piece has enough content and I enjoy it, I'll give you a deep, thorough review. I'll be honest and without sugarcoating, but I'll also be respectful. I understand how difficult it can be to pour your heart into your writing, so I'll make sure to highlight everything I appreciate about your fiction.

Here are the rules:
- At least 10k words for novel-like. It could be less for short, episodic stories.
- No smut just for the smut of it. I'm okay reading smut, but it needs plot and good characters.
I'll read all the fiction submitted on this thread, but if you want to increase your chances of receiving a full, in-depth review, your fiction should fit my personal taste:
- It can be Isekai, but not the over-used traditional format. Some examples of Isekai that I do enjoy are the Red Rising series by Pierce Brown.
- I prefer more mature fictions. I don't mean sex or gore, but just more mature ideas and themes.
- I prefer longer chapters, like +3k words per chapter.
- I'm a sucker for hard sci-fi. But I know I'll barely find any around here, so bring any genre, and I'll take it.
- I love fictions without magic or supernatural events. The restraints that this kind of thing brings create an amazing set of interesting plot lines. But I know that +99% of the fictions have some form of magic... So, don't mind too much about it.
Lastly... I'm neither a professional writer nor a reviewer. What you are going to get from me is an honest and deep review of someone who loves to read. That's it! If you don't agree with my review, just ask me, and I'll gladly delete it.
