CCmei I've noticed the summary's problem, but always thought that rewriting the prologue was more important. I've got some ideas for the prologue, but somehow always draw a blank on the summary which, in theory, should be easier.

    Well okay, that was a really short read so the review is up. I personally didn't like it but good luck.

        CCmei well seeing as getting my work dissected painfully will probably give me more pointers for how to improve my writing for future installments/stories than the 'reviews' from swaps that may not even read it, sure give me your worst.

            If you're just going to delete the review why did you bother asking me for one? Why waste people's time? I could have spent that time thinking a critical review and analysis to do some else's

            That's very petty of you and a reflection of you own character. I've noticed another reviewer was also deleted. Thus would not be an issue if you didn't promo and beg people to check out your work. If you are just going to delete all reviews that are not your spam accounts do not waste people's time.

            Update: wow the user deleted their own post.

                Truly, as an author, i font even know that we could delete review.

                There is one review that gave me three stars and only wrote 'will update the review after i read it'. I thanked him/her and told him/her to try it out then i leave it alone.

                Damnnnnnn, some people are oversensitive. If people say bad things about your story, that means your story lacked something.

                People/readers had wasted their precious time to tell you this so that u could change or improve your story to better one. Yet, some people couldnt take crictics.

                Sorry, just a rant after seeing many people rants about author deleting review and i got angry to the dishonest authors

                  CCmei

                  I just saw one of your review and is very impressed by how throughoutly you exained every aspect that was good and bad. You even gave advices and rating like B-.

                  Make me want you to review mine but it is not a must. Just impressed by how detailed you are

                      CCmei

                      Well, probably because they want you to give them high ratings regardless of the quality of their story. Most of the time, that's usually what happens to review swaps. Writers giving each other high ratings. Like I'll give you a 5 so you also have to give me a 5 even tho your story and mine sucks big time. It's like they're just licking each others ass. 😒

                      That's why I think review swaps are totally unreliable. Some don't even try to read the story and directly give it a high rating saying 'your story is good, blah... blah... blah... blah...' so the one they gave a high rating to would also give them one.

                      I read one of the reviews you made. It's comprehensive and constructive. Definitely not something you would often see here in WN. So good job on that. 🖒 I hope your hard work won't get deleted again. If it does, just stop giving reviews. Because you're probably just wasting your time.

                          We shall see but yeah that's the main reason I don't make reviews in the first place even if I feel like leaving one. There's a good chance it will be deleted and I honestly don't want to offend anyone. While I don't like hurting people, leaving empty reviews also leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

                          I really don't want to be the sort of writer who reviews swaps to lick each other's wounds, It's not constructive to growth or to anyone at all. But I understand the desperation and need for exposure. I'm tempted to do it myself just so my novels get 'one more view' and maybe a fan that sticks around.

                          As a writer or creator in any way, it can be hard to accept critique. As a writer myself though I think it's important to accept things as they are because only then can you change things if you so wish. If you can't see the problem you can't fix it. If it's not a problem, you need to be comfortable with yourself and your work. Not everyone will like you or your stuff in this world and that is ok.

                              This is really great of you and a good way of finding people who care about reviews. You may get a bad apple or two every so often but you are a fantastic writer and reviewer from what I've seen. It may feel like wasted work on those who dont appreciate it (even though they ask for it) but it helps you in the end as well as you get better at writing and picking out things to improve... :)

                                CCmei np, ccmei! i'm hoarding them reviews coz i barely have any. <3 and thanks for the time! waiting for A.I. =)

                                  Thank you for the encouragement! (Unloved Twin is updating later today! Castaway Isle - uh that one will be getting lots of updates this month. It's on a roll. They have long titles on this site but I honestly think of them with these shorter names. )

                                  Reading other's works is a bit like doing a book report in school as a child. Some of them are not novels I would choose at first and I'm either pleasantly surprised and expand my horizons or I have a great appreciation for the books/novels I do like. It's fun to break out and try new things from time to time and does improve one's own wirting (even though it's hard to tell).
