Would you like to read mine? Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks!
My apologies for taking so long. I am only now catching up with the people who linked their stories. Anyways.

I read until chapter 20.

This is the score I decided on.
Overall: Enjoyable.

Grammar: 5/5
Nothing broke my flow of reading, so it automatically gets a five. No pauses nor any egregious errors either.

Style: 3.5/5 for the initial chapters, 3.7/afterwards.
It read like a play at the beginning, not too sure if that was what you were aiming for. Many sentences were short and not in paragraphs for whatever reason, which kinda makes the pacing feel weird despite not much happening at all in the scenes themselves. It gets better, but the problem persists, I believe, could be considered a matter of preference as well.

Story: 4/5
It’s nothing new nor particularly exciting, but I don’t think you were presenting it to be. The story is a good mix of cute/tense and is executed well for what it‘s worth. I liked your ideas and wasn’t confused at any point in the tale. I am giving it that score for being consistent and pretty entertaining!

Characters: 4.5/5
I think this is the strongest point by far. The style of your writing gives the characters a ton of focus and helps the reader in getting to know them. I liked the interactions between the MC and the prince well enough, but my favorite part has to be that of the King and his advisor. It was very entertaining to read through and I think I understood them despite only appearing for a few flashbacks and paragraphs before that. The only reason I am not giving it a five is that I think there’s juuust a bit of variety in personality missing from the rest of the characters and the main two.

Good story. Not exactly my taste, but I think I’ll finish reading through this one later. Please do continue with your writing ventures :blob_okay:.

This story started as a webcomic, so that might be why it reads like a play. I will be revising the chapters gradually to make the story more novel-like.

Glad you liked the king/advisor arc (the advisor was originally intended to be a very minor character, but ended up taking on a larger role as the story planning progressed). I do agree that some of the other characters are a bit underdeveloped (although if you read past Chapter 20, there is a new character that has more of a snarky personality).

Thank you for the kind words and encouragement!

Also, Bern. I got you a story of mine.

It's garbage, at least the third to chapter five is. The sixth to chapter nine is mediocre, I believe.

But I hope the prologue, chap 1 and 2 are now fixed and fine, or at least readable.

If you are so deep in the boredom mood, and you want to get into the internet without jumping into Twitte- I mean X, here's one way to do it.

Remember, keep away from the three chappeteers.

DO NOT READ THEM, I HAVE WARNED YOU.

Start from chapter 6, though you'll be greeted with bad grammar. Cuz I wrote it when I was still learning my writing patterns.

Also, chapter 10 is where the writing is better than the previous.

Hello there! I see you're sharing your thoughts. I'd love to hear what you think of my own story. Would you mind posting your review directly to the story? I don't mind others seeing what you think. No rush! I hope you have an enjoyable read :s_smile:
