Can I ask you one thing though, as I've heard some of these critiques before, but regarding the story progression, how big of a turn off is it for you as a reader that it's slow? Or that it is unclear at this point where it's headed?

    your novel has a similar beginning to two webtoons I read, something about princesses, a father who's kind of a douche, and a sexist society that the fl has to change.

    I didn't like reading them.

    Anyways, I dunno, I'll continue reading maybe later. Chapter 6 right now.

      No, I wouldn't say it's terrible, as I'd probably continue reading your novel out of all the novels I read so far. Still I get bored really quickly.

      Maybe make it 1.5 times faster.

        lilGoat

        I suffer from slow progression too, but it's mainly because I have 60 chapters already written that I'm currently polishing, and everything I'm writing is filler as I finish doing that.

          I don't read locked novels, but it seems like your last novel is decently popular with 200 collections, which is pretty great.

            nishidurani

            Tell me one book to read specifically, and I'll add it to my collection, but I am too tired to read four books right now.

              Chapter 1: Don't do this.

              If you're going to do this, make it a bit more interesting, like maybe add their favorite foods or something.

              You don't want character cards.

              Or,

              if you want something interesting, maybe write one chapter where you incorporate all those character traits. But whatever, since you already done that, all I'm saying is make that character list more interesting.

                I understand that we have different preferences. Still I appreciate the time you spent reading it. At least you think my writing was not bad, which was what I was going for.
                This is my first time to write, so I am still trying to get the feel of it. Developing my style and trying to gauge the interest of the readers. I am slowly learning from the critics and suggestions that I am getting from people like you who are not afraid to say the truth.
                I was not expecting it to be phenomenal, but if I could entertain a few readers, then it would be great. I still want to give quality books that is worthy of a person’s time, so I really wanted to improve on it.
                Thanks again for saying your opinion about it.

                  Pakohoshino29

                  Don't write in present for novels, except for certain scenarios, first person perspective, and interpersonal/command usages. Novels generally should be with past tense. Present tense is very exposition-heavy, like someone is describing something to you, versus actually being immersed in the novel itself.

                  Anyways, I'll continue reading before I add any further critique

                    bishop1275

                    Also that, plus romance is like a genre that I over-read. I've read at least a hundred webtoon this year, and around 50 novels? Anyways, a good majority of them have romance. I would say that only a handful are romance-oriented and I actually enjoyed.

                    Try to see which romance novels you really like and emulate their style.

                    Also stay away from tropes.

                    Pakohoshino29

                    advice replace said with different words occasionally. Not gonna say anymore, until I read more.

                      Pakohoshino29

                      I skipped to the latest chapters and they show extreme development in grammar and writing abilities, but the beginning is really hard to get through. Seems like the development is good tho. I really suggest for now, going back and editing past chapters.

                        Luna_Mermaid1

                        Your blurb feels like a summary for a book report rather than an actual blurb.

                        Anyways, gonna continue reading.

                          Luna_Mermaid1

                          Your writing has developed a style which is good, I can immediately see that in the first few paragraphs.

                          bad news is that some parts are still awkward strung together.

                            Luna_Mermaid1

                            Characters are pretty distinct from another, but I really don't want to read another romance, so I might continue it later. added to collection.

                              Anotoki

                              It's not bad, but some syntax errors.

                              First few chapters were not it tho.

                                AuHNG Yes, I'm so inspired and a fan of Heaven. is it because it has the same element? It's fine if you don't like it, tho. I just want to know 😊 I'm good with that, also I'll edit the blurb, and I'm still improving my writing. thank you for checking it out!

                                  AuHNG Would love to see how this fares Link

                                  It is not my locked book. It is a book I wrote almost a year ago. Also added your book to my library

                                    AuHNG not even sure. I'm going to have to take a look at that

                                      sharrnister

                                      I was reading really fast, but I'll see if it improves, good luck!

                                      I was a really bad writer when I started writing, everyone is constantly improving.

                                      sharrnister

                                      one thing I recommend is working with an outline, and not making the romance cringy.

                                      That's all I can say, cause tbh, most romance is cringy to me lol.

                                        Overlord_Venus

                                        pretty cool.

                                        How come it doesn't have more views?

                                        I guess it's harder to get noticed on web novel now after they started promoting mostly featured novels.

                                          Overlord_Venus

                                          Oh, your novel got restricted, I think.

                                          That's probably why.

                                          You might want to appeal with web novel or something.

                                            AuHNG thank you for your opinion, yea tbh the first chap to me is cringy lmao but thank you again

                                            AuHNG thank you for your opinion, yea tbh the first chap to me is cringy lmao but thank you again

                                            alernatetext

                                            When a mundane, idyllic life is finally disrupted by approaching death, unraveling memories, strange conversations, and blossoming love.
                                            June is your typical high school loner who prefers to use her astronomical brain to question the world than learn how to make friends. Others think she's spoiled, snobbish, arrogant, but within her is three years' worth of forgotten memories she cannot pull to the surface and strings of complexities from being an adopted child. However, one day as she winds up on her haunted territory to eat lunch, she sees a rather unexpected presence; the school's dreamy hero, Daire, who seems to be hiding a life-changing mystery.

                                              AuHNG I can totally agree on what you said. I will edit the chapters. Thank you for the advice!

                                              Hello okay, I'm interested, you can try mine if you like.

                                              I will collect yours...

                                              good night

                                                AuHNG It didn't do well on webnovel, dunno why. I just contracted it to another site and have been posting it there. It's hard for any new themes to do well on webnovel

                                                  AuHNG

                                                  How boring is it? The first five or so chapters will be similar, so if it's put off, then I can change it. The story will be faster paced as it progresses. I appreciate your honesty.

                                                    Admisful

                                                    I dunno, I'll have to continue reading.

                                                    It might not be boring later.
