Ok my opinion to Sorcha Knight in the City (reading status: chapter 6)

So with this one I couldn’t tell jet what exact genre you were trying to do (Perhaps a mix of modern Romance with Action and a touch of supernatural?). Nevertheless I have to say definitely a creative idea to think about, when confronted with a reincarnation storyline.

As usual the more positive things first and the flame afterwards (xD). Every one of your characters is really likable. Although some haven’t had much screen time, I ended up liking every one. Your mode of expression has a good foundation. Nothing unique, special or exceptional good, but it its totally solid and has no major flaws within.
Your flaws, in my opinion, are more on the plot level of things. You have a fantastic idea of a story in your mind, but the story you wrote down is only a small fragment of the one you had in mind. You only wrote some parts and your imagination completed the rest. So for a reader, who doesn’t have your string of thoughts, it gets hard to imagen the full picture. Even if one can easily follow the storyline, the picture you have in your head as a colourful one the reader sees only black and white. You have some really irritatingly fast paste plot developments all over your story, where readers fell kind of left behind (I don’t know if that makes sense for you?). In general it is not bad to have the readers’ imagen their parts, but if you start explaining things you have to go through with it to the end or never start.
Good examples for it are both worlds, related to the story. I have actually no Idea how any of them is like, but you still gave some independent facts about both of them.
Also like Rabbinik your conversations are questionable realistic at times, but in contrast to Rabbinik I would actually advice you to work a bit on that. In some places it was pretty obvious.
Over all I can’t really say much more (I read around a fifth of the words compared to Rabbiniks novel xD). It is a good idea, where I see potential in.

    PS: Chapters 1-4 are prologue, and I'm aware that there is some infodumping on chapters 4, 5 and 6.

      l_ovecraft that's pretty nice of you. I hope you find a novel you like. Keep in mind that most authors get better as they write more (I only base this on my personal experience). I know I personally learned how to write better plot arcs and whatnot as I went along.

      I don't know what sort of stories you enjoy, but if you are looking for an original high fantasy romance with action in it you can check mine out. Best of luck finding originals you fall in love with!

      Obviously, more than five people have replied, so I don't expect a review. Just know that it gets better if you do check my novel out.

        l_ovecraft thank you very much! I'm actually having a hard time explaining my thoughts in the novel as you can see with my shallow explanations. someone has told me about it already and I'm trying to improve. Right now after reading your opinion I'm a bit clear now on how to continue my story. 🥂🥂 Cheers mate! 😂👍

          You can try with my novelDark Magic Master if you wish. BUT my novel has a system that you would not expect much like other novels with the system giving OP things to Mc right and left

          Three principal genres are:

          • Action
          • Adventure
          • Fantasy

            Edea Chronicle: Hero Summoning Conspiracy: Reading status chapter 5

            Warning
            This is going to be a very subjective and negative review. I am sorry for not giving you any better comment, but I truly disliked your story very much (some would call me hater).
            Warning end.

            As per usual starting first with the positive things, the execution of your novel is fine and I didn’t notice any flaws that overly triggered me (But tbh from some point on I didn’t really care anymore).
            Sadly that’s about it for positive things I can say about your novel. The whole novel is covered with clichés and let’s says inspirations from existing novels. With that I don’t want to accuse you of copying others work that is not what I meant. Rather you take so many well-established themes from other works that the mix still barley passes as original idea. It doesn’t matter if it’s Characters, Plot or World building. I couldn’t find any aspect in this novel where I could go: “Ohh look a creative twist of things.” With that comes a totally predictable storyline, that it got me yawning already after the 2nd chapter.
            Secondly I am truly sorry to Rabbink for saying his conversations were unnatural. Your novel has even unnatural plot development at some points. Don’t get me wrong we all read fantasy here, so nobody wants to see the plain reality. But fantasy lives and dies with its realism. If your reader can’t connect with your characters or development of the plot, that’s bad. You use both only as means to an end, as slaves serving the almighty clichés.
            Overall the only reason I see why your novel is doing that well, is because those clichés, themes, stigmas or however you like to call them are well-established. Keep in mind that using such clichés limits your potential and with the quantity of them I see in your novel, I am sorry to say this, but I see no potential. Maybe you will say now:” Oh but you have only read 5 chapters it gets way better in the later parts.” Well I am sorry Sir but if I don’t like the beginning of a novel and see no potential in it, I’m just not going to continue reading.

              Roast Received and accepted. I already expected as much when I read the reading status. I appreciate the honesty I thank you for taking the time to reach the minimum of something that bored you xD

                I can tell you that i felt really bad writing this, but I thought everybody who reached out to me deserved my honest opinion and no useless flattery. Even so that doesnt mean other people dont like your story, so keep going :D Maybe you will suprise me in the future.

                  l_ovecraft

                  It's not a problem. I actually want to be roasted hence why I posted the link here. I'm very critical about my own work and am aware of most of the things mentioned. It is a weakness that I hope to get past as I continue writing.

                    I think I'm to start waiting to provide my support for original novels. I start reading some of em and the author sounds cranked up for it, but they almost always seem to fizzle out between 3 to 20 chapters in. It's sorta heart breaking to see them give up. Maybe due to not enough readers or hard to stay inspired/motivated. There have been some I been sucked into only to be basically stonewalled out of no where.

                    So I think I will wait for 40 chapters before giving any original another try.

                      Wabbitz Maybe it’s just the lack of planning on how the storyline will flow. When I wrote my first chapter with zero sense of direction and just winging it, I found it hard to continue. Afterwards, I actually went and took time to write out an outline, and it has helped greatly with my motivation to keep writing. Maybe I’m just overly excited for the future parts of the story. I also get all giggly and happy over a single comment, review, or just someone bookmarking my novel, but I’m sure this is just a phase......probably 😅

                        I'm a newbie here ! Any one understands the sign "24ch/week "?
                        I'm so curious about it ?😑😐😐

                          merun Just stick with it! You might not be getting the views early on because some might just be waiting for a decent stockpile. I say build up then advertise. At that point people can make a decent review, and other who see review stars aren't bad might draw in others.

                          New authors need to look at the long haul, and not fixate on the immediate rewards. Writing an outline will go vastly far in helping your writing speed and your thought process in regards to the tale you want to tell. You are right about that. One well known author always said write a beginning and an end, then fill the between. As long as you know where your climax is, it is easier to write to and then whatever you want to dwindle down off from it. make a character outline for yourself, make notes that this character has, did, will do, that way you wont forget when your writing them. I've seen stories where characters lost something they had due to the author forgetting they had it be it levels or items or people.

                          I wish you luck! I will have to read it.
