I'd appreciate some proper feedback. On the review swap threads, people just give you generic compliments or point out generic mistakes. I know I'm guilty of this myself. Sometimes you just want some honest critique, what someone actually thinks of your story.
So, in short, I'd love it if you would give me some insightful feedback.

My novel doesn't have 20 chapters but it has 34K words.

    Selene97 It has been a long time since a Dark Fantasy novel has pulled me in like this story. I will be adding this to my library as I patiently wait for chapter 43 onwards. I am sorry it took me so long to do your review but I have my own stories and 200k+ words is a lot, even for someone who reads like I do.

    I will say that I spent several days and hours completely enthralled in this story. You can read the rest in my review. I don't usually give such high marks, but I truly enjoyed the experience of reading your story. I will also be angry if I have to wait long periods, please don't disappoint me.

        Scientist_113 I have previously left a review for this novel. Let me know again if you work on this fixes I mentioned.

            DarkElven6 Thanks a lot for the offer.

                        DarkElven6 Hey, I appreciate that lots! Thank you so much! 😄 (If, for some reason, you change your mind and decide along the way you don't want to review it as it's yuri, that's cool, too!)

                        Main Genres: LGBT+ (GL mostly), Fantasy

                        Synopsis: Ophelia Heide couldn't wait to become a new advisor for the Moon Castle and take her father's place!

                        Well...

                        That was until she ran into Leo, a fairy who protected both the Sun and Moon Kingdoms (collectively known as the Galaxy Kingdom). As a way to pay off her debt after being saved from the crossfire of a fight (and due to some unfortunate timing), she was stuck with the task of reuniting the two sides after husbands Moon King Inei and Sun King Hikaru had a war over... something. They were petty and unpredictable like that.

                        Not knowing where to start, she accidentally found her heart captured by the couple's daughter, Princess Koharu--a bubbly and kind girl with a lingering secret that she shared with her brother, Prince Akiyoshi. Visiting the Sun Kingdom during the night turned from a bothersome byproduct of the war into a treat with someone to anticipate every evening. However, Ophelia unlocked a whole new set of issues by taking that chance at romance, and the two flirted with the boundaries of time and history to fight for their love when an accident triggered a long-standing curse.

                        Unfortunately, things weren't easy for Leo either as he worked with the castle staff to save Ophelia and Koharu, unlocking the secrets of Inei's administration in the process. What he didn't expect was to find himself falling for a mysterious person throughout it all, but would his heart allow them to come in?

                        Not to mention, a series of violent dreams filling Sinclair's nights complicated the situation even further as their past came to light...

                            It's alright, didn't expect you to do it right away, reading takes time. Also been away for couple of days, and couldn't even touch my PC, so only seeing your review now.

                            I'm really glad you liked it so much, I do have my struggles writing, and seeing people who like reading my work do make it feel like it's worth it. :smile: So thanks for the warm review.

                            I release a chapter each week, around the weekends, usually friday/saturday.
                            It's not every day like many webnovels, but the the chapters are longer, so I hope it make up for it.

                            I won't a release a chapter if I get stuck with the writing or too depressed to edit them. I value my sanity more than my writing, and it's not something I get paid for, so I shouldn't hold myself to an unforgiving deadline.
                            I'm an unforgiving toward myself though, so I usually keep my own chapter release schedule. :sweat_smile:
                            If I do take a break, I'll make an announcement.

                            So far I only took a break once though, and I do hope it won't happen again, since I do enjoy writing.

                            I also have no plans to drop this story/world anytime soon, I got near two million words invested in it in terms of drafts, notes, world building, other stories in different timelines, and languages.
                            Though it's possible I might switch websites at some point, since webnovel had been removing random comments from my readers, and the inability to use italic is a big issue for me. (originally the MC's thoughts were written in italics, I had to edit the whole damn thing to brackets, that was an editing nightmare!)
                            But I do like the fact that text can't be selected and my work can't be randomly copy pasted. At least not by means I know.
                            If I do end up switching sites, I'll post it at the end of the last chapter and the synopsis.

                            Either way, thanks again, and feel free to leave comments, or join the discord server (that has no one but me currently) I'd love to talk about my world with people who enjoy it.

                            P.S. I didn't understand what you meant about the part with the tropes. Do you mean the synopsis focus on "it's not an isekai!" or something else?

                              Hey, my book is 15 chps but 22k + words.

                              Synopsis
                              In Semeria, there are two rules of survival.
                              One: If you want something, take it from whoever owns it.
                              Two: never give them a chance to take it back!

                              The noble Von Creig Family and the Falling Stardust Trading Company, both headed by Xasha. An average cultivator except for his avid curiosity, his thirst for knowledge, and his nasty habit of finding inspiration in the most unlikely of places. Aided by his innate abilities, he stumbled into the profession of enchantment and created powerful artifacts, one after the other.

                              These artifacts empowered a generation and ushered in the rise of humans in a world where they had been suffering and dying in the war-torn Abandoned Region for millions of years.

                              Xasha's goal, however, is to protect his family, especially his daughter Ari, whose power is so outrageous everyone coveted it. To this end, he had to before stronger, but to become stronger, he needed resources.
                              There is only one way to get resources in this world: by following the two rules of survival.

                              It becomes interesting to see how he navigates, being a good role model and parent in a cruel world where he is the cruel one and his enemies are even crueler

                                  Vam_V Sorry its taken me awhile to read this. I had to stockpile some of my own chapters and IRL keeps kicking in. I am currently reading your story and enjoying it. Will take me awhile to get caught up but I will review it honestly on the website!!!! : )

                                      The genre of my novel is teen romance thriller.
                                      Thank you in advance! I'm up for all sorts of constructive criticism :p

                                          Would you please review my story(s) One is on hiatus so it's a reach tbh. But it is hard sci-fi if you're interested.

                                          The story not on hiatus is called Black Magus. as for your checklist:
                                          Chapter/Word count - Currently at 25 chapters, around 68,870 words.
                                          No contract and I'm not sure if i want one tbh. But I have no reviews.
                                          I use word, scrivener and google dox to both backup my stories and check for spelling/grammar. But I'm only one person and don't have an editor.
                                          Black Magus is a fantasy, quasi-reincarnation story with elements from DnD and other media/concepts with my own original ideas added on top. There are no harem and little to no romance. It follows the MC, Amun. A royal half-Drow/Human sorcerer, as he grows up, attends a magic academy, and then forms his own guild before eventually building his own empire and traveling across the world to learn of magic, his lineage and of the history of this new world.
                                          I spent months developing the world/outlining the story before I even began drafting and have a rough draft of nearly the entire first book complete.
                                          There are SOL moments, but it's primarily about kingdom building and magic.
                                          A good portion of the book takes place at the magical academy. When Amun is between 15 and 18 years old.

                                          The other book is called Campaign. Again, not expecting a review or even for you to look at it tbh; as it's on hiatus, but it's worth looking at imo. It's a hard sci-fi story about transhumans/cyborgs in a meritocratic society who commonly fight on the low-G, airless moons of Jupiter for merit points that increase their standard of living. Set in the 22nd century. https://www.webnovel.com/book/campaign-a-project-starfarer-sidestory_18650995406625405
