Hi David_Tieku One of the first things I noticed was Reborn Giant.Co and I loved it! Some other things are your grammar is really good. I found a few mistakes in the first chapter, but they didn’t detract from your story. You do appear to be struggling to drag your reader into the story.

What I mean by this is, if you provide more sensory words such as an icy touch, smoldering look, smooth mahogany, or simpler things like a cotton hoodie, and “A light breeze” (I got this one form you!). What sensory words do is pull on your senses as a human being. You want to use enough of these words in variation to pull your reader in but not so many that your reader gets annoyed or irritated. These words may also help strengthen your synopsis, but it’s already pretty good.

Here is an example where your starting to use sensory words:

“The room was very clean and bright, with white walls and a soft king sized bed. There were all types of gadgets littered around the room and a variety of flowers were placed on the balcony. A light breeze blew across the room, it's fragrance made people feel refreshed and comfortable. This room was more than a thousand times better than his previous dungeon of an apartment!”

This is an example of line where you can improve:
“Zhang Xiaohua opened his wardrobe and picked out clothes to wear he decided on; a pair of blue jeans, a black shirt, a hoodie and a pair of canvas shoes.”
This is an example of telling. You told that he picked out clothes to wear, instead maybe try something like this (showing or dragging your reader in):
Zhang Xiaohua opened his smooth mahogany wardrobe and grabbed a pair of soft blue jeans, a simple black shirt, a blue cotton hoodie and a simple pair of black canvas shoes.
I’m missing a few details to know if this is remotely close to what you picture. Such as, the wardrobe being wood, the color of the hoodie, and the shoes. I’m not sure if I was successful, but what I was trying to do was make it so you could feel and see the items you told me about.

Another place where you did well and I don’t think sensory words are need is:
He gave Cao Dequan 43% of his shares to allowing him to gain 48% control of the company and as a way of thanking and reassuring the investors he also gave them 3% of his remaining shares, allowing them to have 48% of the company.

You could also try bringing your protagonist into his story more. You may be able to do this by describing what he feels and thinks verse telling us as a narrator would. Your off to a great start keep it up! Also keep an eye on those distancing words.

        I would also like to request a review please.

        Novel: Release That B!tch

        Genre: Fan-fiction/Modern Romance

        I know its grammar is good, but I'm not sure what people think of my writing style and story.

        1 chapter per day as a base rate, but currently at 2 per day from getting enough power stones.

        I'd be grateful for any feedback, especially on chapters 30-32 (they're ~550 words each).

          DonaldTrump Hello DT, I would like to thank you for writing this, beautifully written with barely any grammar issues. After reading it for a while I concluded three issues that are common, other minor issues will be ignored as you can read it out loud and that helps most new authors familiarize themselves with their own work.

          Issues (Based on chapter 1-10)

          • Transitional Phrases (can be improved greatly)
          • Sentence Starts (can be improved)
          • Unclear antecedent (words are to be reconsidered before writing as it may indicate other things)

          This is the three issues I have personally seen the novel but what I am impressed more is the improvement rate from chapter 1 to 10, good job on that!

          (Will try to mention several parts in our document for writing resources)

          Keep up the good work and good luck with everything!

            DKQ Thank you very much for your feedback! I'll be sure keep an eye out for those issues.

              mud7 I love the first chapter of your story and plan to read more! You do have a few grammar errors such as comma placement. The other thing I noticed was some word choice issues such as:
              I can recognize bullshit when I see one.
              You can try:
              I can recognize a piece of bullshit when I see one.
              Or:
              I can recognize bullshit when I see it.
              The problem with this sentence was the one need something to refer too and bullshit is a word used to describe the something.
              None of these errors are so prevalent that they distract the reader from your story, either! Keep up the good work!

                Heaven_Dream If second person was what you were going for I applaud your guts! Second person is a hard point of view to use and keep your reader. But I think it’s working for you! The only thing is keep your point of view consistent, sometimes you slip from second to third.

                Be careful not steal your own thunder. What I mean by this is give you reader the unexpected event and don’t warn them like you did here:
                “Clearly, there is something unexpected that will happen.”
                Another way you stole your own thunder was ‘with these’. This version of stealing your own thunder is okay and is entirely a stylistic choice. It’s just something to be wary of using too much.

                Another thing is you have several spots where you are telling your reader what’s happening. In these spots try to shift your language to describing. Doing this will help entertain your reader.
                Keep it up! :)

                creativewritting Thanks.

                I have to say that English is not my first language. So something that makes sense in my head. Doesn't really translate on the paper. But, I would like to improve and make my novel a better read for the readers.

                Looking forward to your insights and I really appreciate your help.

                • DKQ replied to this.

                  Thanks for all your effort! You're truly helping a lot of us authors through your reviews.
                  If you have the time, I hope, you could review my novel, too, since I didn't get much reader feedback till now

                  Link: https://www.webnovel.com/book/10609838905077905/Oh.-My.-Fate%3F!
                  Genre: Romance Fiction
                  Updates: daily, 2 regular chapters + 1 additional chapter might be released
                  What I think about it as an author: This novel is basically a mix of different genres. Romance Fiction being the underlying main genre, but that aspects starts a little late, so I'm not really sure, if it's okay for the audience of Romance novels. I also do know there are some grammatical errors, though I'm working on it at the moment.

                    mud7 Hello mud, a better way to improve your language is to read what you wrote out-loud it is the method I used mostly. Sometimes when I am driving for long, I would speak to myself a script I was thinking about, for example, "9 years ago my friend betrayed me, took away my wife, family, and friends. I trusted him more than I had trusted myself, Today... I am a monster, I am the one and only king of this land!" sounds idiotic but during the time I am speaking to myself, I will try to fix the mistakes or change the entire script to make it more interesting to myself and others reading it.

                    Example 2 after thinking about it and reading it loud:
                    "My friend, you have changed me, took away everything I had, my entire life for nine years has been to survive after your betrayal" Sigh looking at the cold body that is hanging on my left hand, I spoke with rage "Was it worth it?!"

                    Hopefully, this can help you out a bit, good luck and keep up the good work!

                    yansusustories Oh my fate... A masterpiece of ages! Have been following this and I have many things to talk about! Issues are found in every novel, but yours is unique, reading it once, you will never notice anything unless you are a graduate student or above, the idea is portrayed in a very fantastic way which intrigues the reader to continue from chapter 1 to the end without stopping! (Happened to me) The issues within are something that can be seen after focusing on the story. The first significant issue is the title, yes having the same title for several chapters is terrible, it shows the reader that the story will be focused on that location or fight for a long time. To fix this, I would recommend having a variety of titles, and this alone can improve the quality of the entire novel!

                    Issues (Chapter 1 to 19)

                    • Title name (Major)
                    • squinting modifier (Can see improvement)
                    • possessive adjective (Referenced link)
                    • Unnecessary comma usage (Seen commonly during the first ten chapters)
                    • unnecessary ellipsis (Used in wrong dialogues which lower the quality of the novel)
                    • Confused preposition (Seen chapter 1, 5 and 9)

                    As I have explained some of the issues, the rest is to be done by re-reading your old chapters which is the best way to improve yourself! Good luck and keep up the good work! (If you wish for more assistance discord is available)
