Novel Review Swaps Anyone? :)
Hallo. I'm looking for objective reviews for mine :)
That is, if it's too complicated/boring/etc., please tell me, and if you could also give me tips to spice up my writing, I'd really appreciate it. You don't have to read everything! I have 16 chapters, and most of them are around 2k words long :joy:. If you're not enjoying the story, just read until you form an impression. I'll be going over the books here too and give feedback that you hopefully might find helpful. Thanks a bunch!
WinterBud Hello again :) And thank you once more for your feedback on my two works. Thank you for taking time to read both.
And sure I'll be reading your story in a bit. I don't mind 16 chapters, and 2k is a normal chapter word count for books, so no problem. Hope you'll find my feedback helpful as well.
here is my Novel, really short at 4 ch but I really need someone to give me their honest opinion on it.

Here is my novel Duality, I would really appreciate some feedback on it.
Also, I've been told that the world building aspect was kinda lacking, so I've tried to improve it on the latest chapter. Please tell me what you think. Thanks.

JohnnyKbca I only scanned the first couple of chaps. You seem to be an experienced writer with firsthand experience in the military. The first chaps reminded me of how Princess Agents began (a female lead novel here on WN, in case you didn't know). There was at least three chapters spent on the MC's original world with massive details about her last mission. I'll be honest, I only skimmed those chapters. The story promised me reincarnation/transmigration, and it was taking too long. She was going to leave that world anyway, I couldn't understand why all those details would really matter. Of course, after I skipped to the juicy part, the story became a lot more enjoyable. I'm just sharing this with you because your story seems to have that same problem. I saw a reviewer say it also became good after he transmigrated, right? Maybe try starting the story to when he revives and loop back to the past with less details? Hope this helps.
WinterBud Thanks, I actually have no previous experience writing, save for a short story contest No use crying over spilled oil.
I have never been in the military, but I did do some research on it, to make it seem more believable.
And the prologue, before John dies, that was actually my story for the first writing prompts contest. I tried to do something different with it. Instead of focusing on what happens after reincarnating, the story would be entirely about the events leading up to the reincarnation. In the end however, I decided to keep on writing, and the prologue became kinda awkward because of that.
JohnnyKbca I see. Great job on your first effort. :)
I think it's a common mistake to try to smoothen awkward parts by piling on more details. The solution's usually the opposite, though. If you're going to rewrite in the future, try to isolate the truly indispensible details and let go of the rest.
JA_Anton hey, can I join too?

But, fair warning. It's a full BL
existing Thanks, I'm beginning to think I may have misunderstood the mechanics of review swaps. I thought it was free-for-all if you post in a thread like this, but maybe most people are just asking to swap with the OP? :joy: I was finding it a bit strange how everyone seems to be waiting for everyone else to give the first review haha, maybe that was why.
JohnnyKbca Noted :) I'll add your story in my library.
