UPDATED: I AM NO LONGER ACCEPTING ANYMORE REVIEW SWAPS FOR NOW.

My requirements:
- Review for review
- Have at least 5-10 chapters (or enough content) for me to provide a proper review
- Not reviewing stories that are guy/guy, girl/girl or smut related (unfortunately it is not my cup of tea)

What I will do for you:
- Proper review that's more than 3 sentences. Usually I will provide comments/suggestions on the five aspects: writing quality, character development, story development and world building. For original novels, I don't like rating update speed (I don't think it's applicable) and 99% of the time will give perfect score.
- Will do my best to read all the chapters you have provided me unless your story have 40+ chapters. In that case, I will make sure to read enough before a review (~15-20 chapters).
- Will do my best to be honest and give suggestions to help the author improve where necessary.
- If after the review, I like the story I will naturally follow it :)

If you want, you can look at the stories I've already reviewed below to see the quality of my reviews.

Here is my novel:
Title: It Had to Be You
Genre: Romance, Drama, Crime/Gang
Status: Ongoing
Synopsis:
Ahn KyungHee wanted nothing more than to escape from her despairing, stigmatizing past as a druggie’s daughter. However, fate had other things in store. Just when she thought she was about to lose all hope, a special person from her past reappeared and gave her a whole new meaning of perseverance.

Despite the thirteen year wait, she once again found her first love; only now he was no longer the teenager brimming with righteous determination she once knew. Now, he was a prominent member of the Yakuza family—a man to be feared and revered, but a man who would do anything to give her the protection she never had, regardless of right or wrong. And in her heart, he would forever be the boy who befriended and held her hand while everyone else ostracized her. Then there was the hotheaded detective who was the bane of her existence, only to realize that she meant more to him than he could ever mean to her. To make matters worse, she could only choose one side: Police or Yakuza?

Light and dark didn’t mix. Just like tigers and dragons could not co-exist.

CLOSED. // ALL REVIEWS COMPLETED

    Chryiss Sure, I'll be reviewing yours first! Edit: Uh, just realize I need an account for that website which I don't use. Do you mind if I do it on this site instead or must it really be the other site?

    lovehalsey Added your story to the queue.

    MyCharacterLeads Added!

            WithJ You do need an account, but it’s just email sign up. I was specifically looking for there though, but if you’re not comfortable with doing it though, it’s ok. (:

                Chryiss I finished your review and posted it on your WN site. Thought I would take longer actually but your chapters were a pretty short read and I got sucked into the world :)

                    WithJ Oh lol, you found the Webnovel version of my story. 😂 Well I suppose I needed a more current review here haha! Thanks for the review, I’ll do yours tomorrow after some sleep. (:

                    Also you were scarily right on the money in your last sentences about MC’s possible conenction this world before. You’re literally the only whole one who pointed that out, so that makes me happy but also worried as a writer. XD I also noted a few days ago that I made MC too mysterious purposefully, so I was going to write more of her inner monologues in future chapters in order to grasp her character better. As you noticed among others, sometimes her calmness/embrace of the world might seem unrealistic. There’s a reason, but yeah, I gotta stop being arcane and just spill the beans lol. As for the prologue scene, that wasn’t exactly to show the mundane, being bored of the world aspect, but the esoteric words after the end of the scene were. The walking in the rain scene was an expanded form of a single paragraph rain internal monologue. I’ve still been debating the necessity of the prologue. :p

                        Chryiss Lol was I? I thought you were dropping a lot of hints with respect to that. When one of the character said lavender coloured magic wasn't common (or something along the lines), I was already suspicious and then the chapter about the Water and Light gods came haha...Well I'm glad I picked up on it. Sometimes I tend to overthink/overanalyze. Anyway I'm really enjoying your story so looking forward to the next update :)

                            WithJ Nah haha. I didn’t really want the review here, but I’m not going to force anyone to post somewhere else or back out on a confirmed review swap due to that. (:

                            Hehe, yes you’re good. Maybe as an over-analyzer myself, that’s why most people didn’t pick up on the many scattered allusions. Most of the time they’re just frustrated or confused about the unrelated ‘info dumps’ or blandness because of the mystery aspect which withholds other info/connections which strings it together. Ah, I made such a weird combination. I do need to balance it more in the rewrite. Anyway thanks again!

                            I’ll start reading on my commute. 😄

                                WithJ Really took my time today reading and reviewing your story. I won’t say more as the longer than usual review and comments say it all.

                                    Chryiss Thanks for the long, thoughtful review and for continuing to read despite the heavy content at the beginning, but well rainbows only comes after the storm lol :)

                                    To everyone else on the queue, I haven't forgotten. Just taking my time going down the list in order.

                                      dusty_angel Hi, I've finished your review :) Great start and excellent narration!

                                      Also looking for more review swaps if anyone else interested since I only have one story left in queue lol. Actually found some promising novels I would otherwise not know about through the review swaps,

                                          WithJ
                                          Hi, are you still reviewing? If you are doing, then here's mine-

                                          Title- Love and Betrayal: Slaves of her Heart
                                          Synopsis-

                                          “One day you're going to remember me and how much I loved you… then you will hate yourself for letting me go.“ ...
                                          Is it a crime to fall in love?
                                          Rosella had never thought that she would be trapped in a web of politics, lies, deception, and misunderstandings.
                                          What she wanted was love but received only pain and betrayal.
                                          It is the story of a broken Empress, of her struggles inside a place full of ruthless schemes.

                                          "How could you give me to any other man, I waited for you so long ! Did you ever love me or not?" asked Rosella

                                          "You know darling! everything is fair in love and war!" Nicholas smirked.

                                          "I wish that we would have never met in this lifetime and I pray, that we will not meet each other in the next one" screamed Rosella...

                                          Even if I fall in love with someone new, it could never be the way I loved you...

                                          https://www.webnovel.com/book/13290104306387005/Love-and-Betrayal%3A-Slaves-of-her-heart
                                          :)

                                              WithJ I'm sorry, I know you said you only review books with around 5 to 10 chapters, but I still had to ask. My novel has a one shot of 3k words, which I'll make into a collection of one shots if the readers like it. But there aren't many, so I ask of you to please give it a try. I would link my other novel, but I feel like I've written the one shot better and my writing skills may have improved there. Once again, sorry if I annoyed you (:
                                              Link: https://m.webnovel.com/book/13478929905953305

                                                  NatsumeRikka Hey, don't be sorry for asking, neither am I annoyed. I only put the 5-10 chapters requirement with the thought of people will be posting full-length novels. And with full-length novels, I find it's only fair to give a proper review at least 10 or so chapters in since the chapters on WN are super short lol. (Although I had also said if you have enough content I will review it.) This is just to make sure I am able to give you guys quality reviews.

                                                  One-shots are different. I'll add your one-shot to the queue :)

                                                      Sapphirechelsea237 Yes please don't expect an immediate review. It takes me time to read and write a review. Also I go down the list in order. Currently I'm still reading your chapters. You can check first post to see my review status/which story I'm on.

                                                      blankkarma Ok I will add you to the queue.

                                                            WithJ So sorry, if I seemed to be pressuring you. I didn't mean to do that.
                                                            And I forgot to check the post. :(
                                                            Take your time! :)

                                                                Keriv136 I always try to read everything the author posted. However, seeing that you have nearly 100 chapters, I might not be able to finish it all. I will definitely read at least 20 chapters or more for a proper review though. And it'll probably take me some time to give you a review because of my queue and your chapters lol.

                                                                    Web Novel Novel Ask
