Title: Yanderes: The Harem Of The Luckless Man From The Earth
Genre: Fantasy
Synopsis:
As a commoner front the earth, I don't have anything for a girl to like me, which ended up I am being rejected.
On a normal night, an unforeseen accident occurred which caused my life to perish.
However, that isn't the end of all, because I once again found myself alive, in a half and unfamiliar room.
@Praefactuss I've only read two chapters so far, and the novel is pretty unimpressive. Let me explain:
1. Formatting
Split up your paragraphs. Remember that you should start a new one every time there's a new plot beat or if the subject changes.
The grammar and stuff are good for the most part, but proofread some more so that you can catch the tiny little errors. I tell this to everyone, and it feels like I'm beating a dead horse at this point.
2. Mid
I'll be real with you: the story is really average. It's your basic isekai/transmigration with nothing special.
What differentiates your work from others? What is it that will capture readers' attention?
So far, there's just nothing interesting about your story. I'll elaborate more on how to fix that.
(Side note: You forget to mention the MC's age in the first chapter, so I was confused when he revealed that he had become a fourteen-year-old. I assumed he was older and got younger, but according to the story, he was younger and got older)
3. What Makes a Scene
The core of a scene is that a problem must be solved. For example, at the beginning of "Re: Zero," the problem is that the main character, Subaru, is trying to help Emilia find a missing item while also trying to avoid dying over and over again.
In your novel, there's no problem that the main character is trying to solve. Sure, he gets transmigrated, but what's the problem? He just has to learn how to adjust, but there's really no tension anywhere that would make me want to continue reading.
Granted, I didn't read any further, so I assume the plot eventually starts rolling, but you need to establish at least some tension.
You see, it's not enough for the character to be confused about his own situation. Yes, that's a problem, but it's not big enough. You need to shock the reader (not to be confused with abusing shock value) to get their attention.
That's about it. Hope I could help.
Shubhangi_Kene sure sorry for the late reply I will start right away.
Lamelle I also added yours in library, I'll be leaving a review after I read it
honest review please? I've read Yoan's Woodcutter novel and reviewed a while back lol~ (it's still in my library)
But if anyone is up for an honest review on my BL novel, please let me know. I shall do the same for you.
I've just stared so it's still in the early stage _~

It won't be as detailed as the one written by our hero here @Epyonnn, @Yoan_Roturier, @Sara_Wilcox,...
I will just point what I see should be improved.
Epyonnn Thank you! I did try to express in the latter chapters that the problem at first was the protag's character but I guess I need to make it more apparent. My inital plan was to start dealing with the protagonist's personality since most novels I read about shut-ins just basically transform the whole character after they transmigrated.
I appreciate the input and will work on it, you're doing good work here! Again, thanks a lot!
@Yulainei I've only read the first chapter so far, and I have quite a few things to say about it. I'll probably do another review for the later chapters if there are any glaring issues.
1. Prose
Good word choices and stuff, but you tend to repeat certain words multiple times within close proximity of each other, making the sentences choppy. In the first paragraph, you used "rain" three times (I'm counting the instance of rain in the word rainfall). In the second paragraph, you used "up" twice. These are a nitpicky thing, but your sentences will flow much better if you use more word variation. This is why English has a million synonyms for almost every word.
Another thing is that there are some incomplete sentences and some that are weirdly worded, making them hard to follow.
2. Omniscient POV
Be careful when writing in the third-person omniscient POV because things might get confusing if you switch to another character's POV. In the chapter, you switched from Nicolaus to the driver, but make sure that you clarify who is who. Give Nicolaus a distinctive feature instead of just calling him "that guy" or "that man." When the POV shifted, I wasn't sure who the speaker was, and who the speaker was referring to until I read a couple more paragraphs.
Also, make sure that you don't reveal too many of the thoughts in other characters' heads, especially if they're not one of the main characters.
Finally, you mainly write in the past tense, but sometimes, it changes to the present tense. Just stick to the past tense.
Tragic Backstory
Yes, Nicolaus may have a tragic backstory, but it doesn't feel impactful if it's narrated. Instead, it might be better to cut the narration altogether and just leave the MC with the feeling of rage and keeping it a mystery as to why he was angry.
Then, in the next chapter, maybe you could have the MC floating through time, watching the events of his past life unfold before him. With that, it would really cement the reason why the MC will no longer tolerate people who mess with him.
This is only one suggestion, and there are many ways to handle it. You can even sprinkle in his backstory while he in his new body.
That's about it so far. I'll probably keep reading to see where it goes.
