I'd love a swap.
My novel is at the 50's but you can just review chapter 51-52. It's -
https://www.webnovel.com/book/15150519306304105/The-Day-You-Conquered-the-World
Anyway, I'll get to reading in a few hours. Just in the middle of something right now.
Joy_Zakaria just copy the URL of your novel.
This is your novel right? https://www.webnovel.com/book/15200217906489805/Beastchanger
Just read the synopsis, and I'm getting a vibe of Paranormalcy by Kiersten White which is good!
Will read it and post a review later :)
Joy_Zakaria Hello there, Joy, and welcome! :)
I'd like to do a review swap with you as well. I'll read yours later though since I'm going through Sevy_Sev's novel.
Here's mine:

The_Canary Okay, Sev. Finished reading your story! :)
Overall, it's a promising one. The only issues you need to work on is, obviously, the grammar, more on the plot cause it's kind of giving me that typical trope that you see in anime these days.
Like 'transfer into the supernatural world, gets admitted into a magic school' and such.
Since this is your official story, don't be afraid to be different. People may be estrange to it at first, but when they see a good story plot that has the potential to become great. Something unique, and never seen before. They will come and read that story. Even though my story is only two weeks old, I thought it wouldn't get popular, but I was proven wrong when I saw the amount of people reading it and adding it into their library.
It gave me hope that I'm doing something right, and I hope the best for you as well! :)

Regius_Sanguis yes! Will try to edit the older chapters, once I have extra time. Right now, I'm just pouring all my thoughts to my new chapters. :)
I can only do my writings every weekend, since I have full time commitment during weekdays :(
But thank you again! I really appreciate the tips you gave. This made me motivated to improve my craft more!
- Edited
The_Canary That's good to hear! :)
If you need new sources of ideas, I highly suggest pouring over a couple of interesting stories that is similar to genre that your story can relate. Since your story is a fantasy-adventure that has the setting in a school, I highly suggest the ones with the same genres as well. Like... RWBY or Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei.
The second one is very good in my opinion. In fact, some elements of my story from that LN (and anime) comes from that, it got magic, action, and the setting is also in a school. So you might want to look into it! ;)
Also, think about what kind of audience you are targeting. Are you targeting readers that are more into regular xianxia stories, who needs a quick fix? Or readers that are more into western fantasy?
Obviously, I'm of the latter since I'm a fan of western fantasy. That's why my chapters are long and detailed. It was simply done on purpose. I hope these tips and advice will be of help to you in the future, despite that it comes from someone who is also new in the writing world... (_')
Regius_Sanguis I'm a fan of RWBY (love this one!) and read the LN series of Mahouka Koukou Rettousei (but I got dizzy on the jargons and complex magic system in that world).
For the readers, I'm actually don't know yet. :( Huhuhu. Can I just say anyone who's interested in young adult fantasy (skewed more on Anime fans) hahaha. Anyways, these are the things I need to figure out. :)
The_Canary
nalimutan mo na ko.
The_Canary Who didn't got doozy by the magical jargon and complex system of that LN MKR?
It's even more complicated than that of Fate series' (-_-')
Anyways, good luck with the readers. You're gonna find a lot of them in here.
I, for one, am a fan of the genre, but due to the amount of animes that were released (more like, unleashed) these days, and how they turn out in the end.
It's simply became a downer when too many of them turn out typical and dull, like an over-chewed gum (-__-)
That's why I simply divert most of my attention on western fantasy and animes with good plots, to keep myself motivated and thinking about new ideas. Listening to music while I'm writing my story helps me a lot as well. It's very relaxing when you which direction you're going... (_)

glaurunglives Haha, yo G! We're just talking. You know, bonding, making friends. The works! :D
How are you today, my friend? :)
glaurunglives sorry I was taking my time reading your story from the start. :(
So I skipped on Chapter 51! Done posting my review also :)
Now I'm curious on that staff! I'll go back reading from previous chapters hehehe.
The_Canary G's story is good, eh?
It gave me the western fantasy and Tolkien vibes when I read it. It was nostalgic for me! (_)
Regius_Sanguis it also reminds me of some Forgotten Realms books I read before, especially Drizzt!
The_Canary Forgotten Realms? Is that good?
Regius_Sanguis you have to choose. Since there are a lot of books under Forgotten Realms. I think this is part of D&D franchise. But I read Drizzt series. He's a dark elf/drow
Would you like to give mine a try? I've been writing it very much like an anime-like WN.
