You know instead of going full grammar-nazi, you could maybe write in the comment what you really think? Some authors won't appreciate the remarks on the errors, but I think a good part will gladly correct their mistakes. It's just that writing, proof-reading, thinking about the next chapters and having a busy life is hard. So mistakes happen, and even after reading two times what you wrote, you still manage to let big mistakes pass through.
Of course, it is just easier to blame, flame and complain in a forum or in a review instead of helping someone else. As for the cringy stuff, not everyone has the same notion. But the intelligence of a MC is based on the intelligence of the author and nobody can think of everything. Or the other reason (the most likely) is the shameless author that just want to gain 1k words on his novel and create some artificial "fillers".

    Innovation yeah i understand that. Writing a book myself I can see how the mistakes happen. I was sort of raging because I had just gone book searching at 12am for the first time in a week and found like 5 books in a row with bad writing. Its just a pet peeve of mine.

        Ok. So for those asking me to take a look at their book. I will look at books as long as the amount of books I am asked stays reasonable and I dont get like 50 books to read. I won't review the books properly (since this is a suggestion forum not a review swap forum), but I will reply to comments on this forum with what I saw of the book.

          The_Chimp alright read the prologue(both chapters) of Greg Tales.
          It is for the writing prompt contest thingy that Qidian is doing right? Well, grammar is all good, idea is neat and the humour is pretty funny. Love the characters already, especially Sarah. It is really rare to see a proper masochist in a book and I get the feeling that she would love getting shot or something considering her profession hahaha.
          Anyway, overall was fairly well written with a unique writing style. Can't judge story or worldbuilding yet due to only having 3 chapters (that stuff is usually only judged once a story hits the two dozen or so mark depending on chapter length and stuff).

              The_Chimp Second book, The Life of Normal-Taro.
              Alright, this one has a much more normal style of writing but still retains the good grammar, spelling etc that Greg Tales had. Interesting idea as well, an alien being teleported to Earth instead of a human going to another planet.

                kcgrabin Ok, sorry I got the story confused with another one but I have read Chronicles of the Inmortal God as well luckily. All right, Writing and all of that is fine. Story is good and worldbuilding is done decently. I will say that considering I am at like chapter 80 or so (iirc), it is a pretty good indicator of if I enjoy a story. It usually takes me 20 chaps to decide if I like a story and if I read more then 50 it usually means I enjoy quite a bit.

                    kcgrabin I will say that I see what the commenters mean when they say it gets better later on. As the story went on the writing became better as you improved. Can't judge the story improving as if i recall correctly then CIG is like ~150-200 chapters long and I am still only at around halfway mark if thats true.

                        WorstNameEver I get you man, tho my biggest peeve isn't even about grammar of the original authors. I don't know why, but i found that most original authors fck up real bad with the structure of the novel. I don't mind small mistakes like typos, but i stop when the author can't even keep the tense used in narration consistent. Like, if you are gonna use 3rd person past tense for narration, keep it consistent to the end. Don't flip around between past and present tense from paragraph to paragraph. Some even fk it up another level and flip around in the same paragraph or inject 1st person narration in some lines where it doesn't fit which turns everything into an abomination. This is one of the biggest mistakes i see from original authors for some reason. Even when they don't have much problem with their grammar, this still happens. It completely destroys the flow of the novel when author can't even keep the tense used in narration consistent. There is also the problem with the writing being too stiff, but i guess we can attribute that to authors being inexperienced...

                            Hello original authors, I have read lots of books and have some friendly advice:
                            -World Building! You want to do that, of course, but how? Generally speaking, it's best to NOT have characters go on unnaturally long rants about the world they're in. You can tell the reader nothing about the world, and slowly unravel it as the story progresses. Like, why do we need to know about all that jazz?
                            -Grammar, punctuation, spelling, etc. OP may have come off harshly, but it's the truth that doing that poorly lays a weak foundation for your story. I use paperraterdotcom which is a free essay checking site. ❗Never use the same word twice in a paragraph! (Outside of articles)❗ Google "word you want to use synonym" for alternatives.

                              N0xiety yeah I agree. I will admit that mixing present and past tenses does work, but it depends on the situation. When done the xorrect way oresent and past tenses can work together, but never future with them iirc.
                              I totally get what you mean for perspective tho. Omg the amount of people that switch between 1st person and 3rd person in the span of a paragraph...

                                  Hey, I have seen you mentioned on other posts as having done good reviews, would you kindly review my original novel? I try to be precise with my English and Grammar, there are probably college level mistakes in there.

                                  https://www.webnovel.com/book/11861122705576105

                                  It's at 35 chapters right now. I would like to take a little more time to say that it does not have magic, a system, an overpowered MC. It takes place during WWII in an altered timeline due to Nazis messing with things they shouldn't be.

                                      1Life Happy to see I'm doing it (world Building). I was stressed because I wasn't sure if I could do it slowly. I never wrote a book before so... I wanted to start right in the action but I realized I should write on another doc all about my world and said some things when I feels it's time. Thank you for the advice :)

                                      Go check my book if you have time; Beyond the Mask. https://www.webnovel.com/book/12134991606975905/Beyond-the-Mask

                                      i'm not so sure about my English because it's not my first language though '
                                      So I hope you'll be able to give me some pointers.

                                          KimSasha Hi :) I've been going arround viewing stories posted in the forums whose genres I read/might be interested in, and I would be checking out yours again probably tomorrow (I read the first chapter when you asked me a few days ago, don't know if you remember), so yeah, just a heads up. I saw yours featured somewhere on the front page btw, congrats :)

                                            Hokobishu Seems interesting, I'll be checking out your story tomorrow too (then I'll deal with my own problems again hahaha. Ha)

                                                Elude Thank you for your valuable advice. I was able to correct my typos in the synopsis and tried a different beginning for the synopsis (I guess it is better). Please do check on the novel and the synopsis. Both Greg and I will be happy if you give out a comment or two advising us. Recently Greg's been upset since the comment section is empty!
