You shouldn't try to explain that basic knowledge of literature/advertising/photography/etc. to some 'authors' :)
Some time ago I tried to explain the basics of creating a plot, differences between the theatrical play and literary text, and other knowledge needed to build interesting action, etc... but most of the 'authors' know theirs 'literary rules'.
When asked how many books they read in the last month, or last year, the answer was "I don't have time for this".
Alright. I'll step on the brakes next time. Hum, I just thought it would be useful.
in some groups on discord - yes, but not here. Sorry for the truth here ;)
but that's what it looks like. Waste of time :(
You can create a group on discord with that knowledge.
Jo_J
Haha already have one. Members aren't much active as of now. They're all busy with some real-life stuff and one guy is a webnovel top 200 author, thus quite busy, so he won't speak unless addressed to.
Want to join the group ;)
Yoan_Roturier
Lol... someone's keeping a grudge!
I know Jo_J . She's an absolute sweetheart. She already reviewed my book, and I did hers. In fact, the comment you're keeping a grudge with me about was made in course of my reading up her novel so I could give an accurate review... a lovely novel by the way.
Jo_J Be a dear and ask Yoan_Roturier to please forgive me for going against his divine opinions with my own divine opinions
All I said was there was nothing wrong with her sentence, and you legit exploded on me
I was so shocked, I couldn't even reply!
Jokes apart, I'm really sorry my comment upset you. We're on the same side, you know? In fact, you'd corrected her on earlier comments and I supported your corrections by liking your comments because those corrections needed to be made.
But I legit saw absolutely nothing wrong with that sentence in particular. In my opinion, a correction was not really necessary.
Thank you so much for the detailed book cover analysis. It's got technicalities I never knew about and I'm glad to learn of these things.
Concerning the little writeup on it... I left it on because I simply did not have the time to work on that, and I kinda wanted to leave a little bit of book cover credit to the original creators of the image. Silly me!
I would try to make out time to get it done, but if someone could be an angel and do it for me, I'd be most grateful.
Jo_J
Awww... recommending my book
See what I said?... she's an absolute sweetheart. 
Jo_J
Haha alright, write down your Discord tag, I'll send you an invite there.
@SpilledInk Hahaha it's fine, already forgotten. :P
Yeah.... sorry about the explosion...
As for the original owner's credit, you can add it to your synopsis. You're not silly, just wanted to do good by the original owner ;)
Glad it helped a bit.
Dear Ladies SpilledInk and Gentelmen Yoan_Roturier (two lions jumping for each other's throats?)
What are you talking about?
I don't mind if you share your views somewhere here: https://www.webnovel.com/book/anemones_20040643706911505
English is not my first language and I make a lot of errors (the editor deals with it...), so... I don't really care about comments like yours SpilledInk ;)
Yoan_Roturier
Jo_J#8824
Yeah... :) I am trying to get you a bigger audience ;)
You don't know the pleasure when you read a story and you don't have to think too much 'what the author wanted to say, etc...'
I know nothing about the fantasy genre. In my review I wrote what I saw, I wouldn't read 5-6 chaps if I didn't enjoy it.
Hey, guys. Please do check my story out. I hope you'll enjoy reading it as much as I love writing it. Is it bad boy themed? Yeah. Do check it out. Vote and add to your collections if it suits your taste. Thank you all in advance.
Genre: Contemporary romance.
Title: Fading scars: scars of the past.
Synopsis: "I don't regret saving your life, but I do regret not dying in the process."
We all know of stories that the good girl manages to break the wall around the bad boy's heart.
This story is different.
Athena Hazel Brown is just like every other 17-year-old high school junior.
She goes to school, has good grades, cheers for her school's football team, and tries to stay out of the drama. What makes her different is the fact that she lost her family when she was 15. The once happy family life that she had known changed drastically overnight.
She was separated forcefully from her dad and had to live with her overbearing, controlling mother. The painful separation from her dad changed her view of people and the world. She refused to let anyone in. She prefers keeping them at arm's length.
What will she do when she has to work on a project with the school's bad boy, which might lead to him getting a little bit close? What happens when she sees the real Aiden that he had successfully hidden from the world?
Aiden Gabriel Knight is known as the school's bad boy, known for skipping classes and getting into trouble. Not to mention his cocky attitude, British accent, and magnetic charm, which seem to work on all other girls except Athena, who have succeeded in shielding herself from the world.
But when Aiden starts showing her his sensitive side( thanks to a project at school), Athena starts to see a different guy, a guy looking for his redemption under the hard exterior.
Will that be enough to convince her that he's the one guy worth breaking her rules for?
The book is written solely from the female lead's perspective. It's also divided into two parts.
Enjoy!!!

You are the honest reviewer with many aspects of understanding of book, and things related to it.
I'm scared.
Carciphones_02
Eee... you could always ask someone else to do yours mate. :P
Hahaha. It's fine, I really don't bite. Promise.
Choyee_Lin
Thanks.
Hm, try to ask around here. Maybe someone else will pick up your request in the meantime.
Hahaha no worries, I buried my war ax. I won't attack Udeju's castle wall anytime soon... hehehe.
Added you on discord.
Yoan_Roturier Nah... I'll just watch the excitement from the sidelines.
Jo_J I started reading your first chapter. I Love the food descriptions, by the way
I left a few comments with critiques telling you where some errors are, but I deleted them so other readers won’t see them. I mention the paragraph number, and what the issue(s) was. I’m about to put my son to bed, then I need to write, but I will do the first three chapters for you. If you’d like, you can do the same with my WSA entry, but you don’t have to if you don’t want to since I volunteered for yours. So far: the only issues I’ve really seen are running sentences, and a few past/present tense mixes. I’ll re-read through the first chapter tomorrow as well. I was a wee bit distracted by my boy while trying to read and comment.
Or if you don’t want me too, just say so.
Yoan_Roturier do you have a time or preference as to when we should check to see if the count has changed? I’d like to honestly swap with you Just the first 3-5 chapters(unless you like it).
Yoan_Roturier well I wouldn't mind waiting for a long time, so take your time...
