TheSpiderNextDoor I must confess I absolutely adore your way of writing! In regard to the review, I am afraid that in the end, things became rather chaotic, as I kept on adding comments and opinions that contradicted earlier statements because, in the end, I found the quality of the chapters to greatly differ. I decided to delete it and write you a more comprehensive one by the end of the day.
My apologies.
Sigheti That's fine! I found what you wrote thus far to be extremely helpful. As for me, I'm a slow reader, but I will do my best to read all chapters before writing my review.
Allen_Clay012 Would you like to swap reviews? I don't see a link, so if you have a story, I would be happy to read yours as well.
This is a more elaborate review. I found that my previous was incomprehensible and contradicting, hence I deleted it.
I wish to note that the following points are by no means an indicator that I am able to successfully do them myself. On the contrary. The review below is given as a reader of your story, not as a writer. I simply wish to show what I feel while reading your story, without claiming that I do know how you should write it.
Secondly, this is highly personal. Other readers may not agree or feel entirely different when reading, but, as I stated above, I merely wish to give you a glimpse of how it is to read your story.
Because I mainly concentrated on the aspects which seemed to have the potential to improve, (in the hopes to help you progress rather than simply singing you praise) I may create the impression that I find your writing lacking, or that I did not enjoy the story. Nothing could be further from the truth.
So that being said, let is get into it.
The first few lines are very immersive and show me you have the ability to paint the scene beautifully. Later on, the appearance of satan piques my interest but he is unable to fully impress me. He seems devilish, but I don’t feel as if he is such an overbearing presence as I would have assumed.
Whether this is intentionally done, because Follia doesn’t seem that impressed with him either later on, I do not know.
Her character gives me the impression that she is indeed, immortal, but she still seems to have some youthful naivety clinging to her. This makes for an interesting character, but leaves me wondering whether she really is ‘that’ old.
I would love to have a more distinct description of the demon appearing before her. Green piercing eyes, blank expression, black hair and white skin, has an attitude problem. Alright, but I would love to know more about the way he stands, his posture, his bearing. The way he moves his hands or his eyes look when he looks about the room.
The following is highly personal, but I grew a bit tired of the typical overbearing pretty demon appearance. Give me some originality! Give me some flaws! I would like to know more about him at this point. Show me peculiar character details. Any particular violence, abruptness or charm in the way he moves? A particular way he moves his eyebrows? Does he make exaggerated hand motions when he talks? Scratches nonchalantly? Does he look away in uncomfortableness when he realised he was unable to kill her?
Later on in the chapter she mentions that she has known awful horrors already, but she doesn’t completely convince me by simply stating it. (It is far better portrayed in other chapters, for example chapter 5.)
During chapter three, I would like to know more about the people in the classroom. It doesn’t have to be that much, certainly not if they aren’t important for the rest of the story, but it would make the scene more interesting, as we are now only permitted a very limited first view into the class. The classmates seem to be mere background fillers, and while that’s alright, I would feel more like she actually went to school if you were to let me know more about the people she is surrounded by.
BUT, I don’t know why she still bothers to go to school when she wishes to die anyway. She wants to die. She must be depressed, tired of life. Show me she is. Show me she really just wants to die. Have her not shower for days. Have her know that she has things to clean, people to talk to, work to finish, but not finding the energy to do it. Have her not get out of bed because she‘s exhausted from her never ending life.
During the fourth chapter, again, I would love to know more. Does his smirk reach his eyes? And give me more than just the way he smiles. You show me a lot of attitude already in the way he talks, give me more so in his manner. Same goes for Folia. Show me how she moves. Don’t just tell me she is scared, how does her body react to these emotions? Does she have a nervous quirk when scared or emotional? Does she balls her hands, picks her skin? Does she shift her weight from leg? Does she crosses her arm, unconsciously holding a defensive posture?
I won’t do all chapters, but I do hope this was more helpful than the review.

Synopsis:
PLANET EARTH in the year 2020,
The ground shakes with a heaven sundering roar, a massive figure is seen in the vast skies above, the figure both stationary but omnipresent. A voice thunders, like the massive roar of the inimitable tide, "You have been selected to represent me in 'The Games'." It sounds almost displeased when it utters the word "selected". "Brace yourself and say goodbye to the little attachment you have to your planet, for never will you see it again, unless...." Then the lights went out on a planetary scale.
Each human of every race awakens a new form of levelling, a Point Cloud (search online for the same for a visual impact), each dot in a Point Cloud, known as a Bio Point, can be 'opened' with energy and in doing so will help the person gain more strength. This is a work of fiction and a mix of both Xianxia and Game Elements. Hope y'all like it.
