Allen_Clay012 I read the synopsis and the first chapter of your novel Land Warrior. I'll review it once I finish reading 5 or more chapters, since a review shouldn't be based on just 1 chapter. If you want to cry, you are welcome to read further (lol just kidding; I'm no good at writing novels either)
So here's the thing, your grammar is a little messed up. First of all you need to work on tenses (try to write the whole sentence or paragraph relating to an event in a particular tense throughout, since I even saw different tenses in a single sentence), then probably prepositions and it would be better if you improve your punctuation as well (there weren't enough commas or semi-colons where people take a break to breathe, like while reading)
But these can even be typos so don't get too worked up due to grammatical mistakes, we are all humans and we all make them!
I wanted to point out that if you want your reader to get a great experience by reading your novel, try to stimulate all their 5 senses (like touch/feel, smell, taste but the most important one, vision) .
For example, in the first chapter, when the three men in their 20s get on the ferry, you can give the feels to your readers by describing the ferry, the port on which they arrived to get into the ferry, the veiw from the port, as in - The cool winter breeze (just an example, you can describe the weather which is relevant to your story) was sweeping away the warmth of the people gathered at the port. The sun was setting/rising as a fiery scarlet ball on top of a blue carpet of water, etc
( I learned this senses trick from an English literature teacher in my school)
P.S. I'm no expert at all this, I just told you what I'd like to read as a reader.
