BLOOPINGBLOOPER
Hello, 2 days ago I read your story and left an honest review on it. I actually really enjoyed it and gave you a 5 star review. Today I saw that you reviewed my story, the comment read that the story was great, although you gave it only 3 stars. Which was the lowest review I've received on my story and brought down the overall rating. After a little research on the forum and visiting the activity on your page I can see that you are leaving the same quick review and 3 star rating for everyone you rate, and can deduce that the likelihood of you reading any of our stories is very low. I understand the desire to use the forum as a quick way to get reviews. But I feel the way you are doing this is very disrespectful to our writing and the hard work we have put into it. Especially when I took the personal time out of my own day to read your story and give it an honest review. Not to mention, giving people a 3 STAR REVEIW when you haven't even read our stories? Not only is this kind of rude to assume the quality of a story you have not read, but it will not be beneficial for you in the future as USUALLY when you leave that kind of review on a writer's story, that person will tend to respond with a similar rating to yours. which will result in many three star ratings for you.
Like I said before, I understand wanting to use the forum as a quick way to get reviews on your story. But please play by the rules that the rest of us are playing by, and put in some effort to appreciate our writing in the same way that I have appreciated yours.
Thank you.

    What does a second chance look like?

    Well...it generally involves being trapped in the body of a teenage girl after getting sent way back into a past world of ballgowns, royal balls, betrayal and never ending drama!

    Will our odd Cinderella, Josephine Lorenzo, survive a time unlike the one she is originally from? Josephine is able to remember her previous life as Luca Torello, an alpha mafia boss in 21st century, Italy, who died and was given a second chance in this new body.

    As Josephine, Luca wants to rise above all in this time period and become queen...but to achieve that, she must take the throne. And how else could a 'powerless' little girl in the 19th century do that? By marrying royalty of course!

    Can cold hearted Luca learn to live as steadfast Josephine?
    Will Josephine choose love over violence and deceit?
    What else is better than being royalty and having princes fighting to the death for your attention, in a love triangle?

    Read to find out!!!!!!!!

      Jia_K Thank you so much! I'm still working on the review for your novel but can't wait for you to hear my feedback <3

        Hello? I’m a newbie here. I haven’t written much and tbh the mechanics of this forum is starting to confuse me, ha. Is it too late to do a review swap? The last comments on here seem to be quite old.

          Starling_ All good. Webnovel is a lot to take in. I'm still in the learning boat too.
          Basically, read the work I linked, and leave a review. Then I'll do the same for you. And yes, the link works. :)

            https://www.webnovel.com/book/the-7teen-let-the-pain-exist_19117090906475105
            Synopsis :
            Dhruv is a 17 yr old teenager who is a boy full of mysteries. Six months ago, Dhruv's father died in a car accident. And from then, Dhruv hasn't had a good day ahead. From his mom's negligence towards him to school bullies, everything seems to add more and more to his misery. But things are different now, it's 17 Jan 2017, and things aren't as they were. Fate had taken its dark turns, and now police are standing on his doors, asking questions regarding the serial killings of three of his classmates. What does Dhruv have to do with it? Does Dhruv know something?
            It's not a teenage drama! It's FUCKIN murder mystery! Here, don't expect anything. Things are a bit twisted as TRUTH ISN'T WHITE ANYMORE‼️ And
            Pain, Let It Exist!

            Anyone for a review swap? I might take a while as I am a slow reader, but I'll review your novel so, anyone?

              BLOOPINGBLOOPER Just like @_Meggie_ stated.
              I actually was surprised to see a review, since my post was a while back. Although it was a generic review, which many do, I also saw the star rating. Which is fine if you truly felt that way, but like Meggie, I also noticed you copy and pasted your reviews and left others with 3 stars. Because of this, I will not be reviewing your novel. I will delete your review on my novel, since I will not be reviewing yours, hence it wouldn't be a swap so it wouldn't be fair to you.
              If you would like to sincerely give an honest review, then I am good with reviewing yours.
              I understand that review swaps are hit and miss, but the rule of thumb is to at least read the chapters (3 or more) before reviewing.
              Good luck with your novel and best of luck.

                MichelleLeeee If it was an honest review spelling things out, I wouldn't mind myself and possibly some authors wouldn't take it in the negative light. But to have someone tear another down for their success will not get one anywhere.

                  RoseOfBlues Sure if you don't mind BL? Lemme know~ (please read at least 3 chapters before reviewing...)
                  You can choose between these two:
                  Title: Shameless Ghost King - https://www.webnovel.com/book/shameless-ghost-king-is-my-husband!_19286518306050405
                  Title: QT: Lazy Prince Becomes a Protagonist with a System [Volume One- Idol Popstar] - https://www.webnovel.com/book/qt-lazy-prince-becomes-a-protagonist-with-a-system_20496998405848805

                    RoseOfBlues Honest review as in constructive criticism. I agree, no to berating and demeaning authors -new and old- because that does not help at all. I'm saying more of "don't just copy paste your reviews" and at least write what was interesting, Make it atleast personal, you know? There is already a bad rep of reviews are all faked. Lets not add to that pot.
