JA_Chrysant Hey there, thank you for your review and insights on my novel. As a new writer, they always help me to see what kind of improvement I can make to the story. I know you aspire to be an editor, and that is really great, but in your journey, you must be clear about what kind of type of editor you want to be. When reviewing others' works, you need to take into count what is the style of writing and the style the author has. Also, you mentioned "show, don't tell," again, it's important to remember that "show, don't tell" is a guideline, not a hard-and-fast rule. There are times when telling can be more efficient or effective, especially, for example, in my prologue, where you may need to convey a lot of information quickly to set the stage for the rest of the story. There is always room for improvement, even for the most talented authors, but overall, it's also essential to preserve the voice of the author. Also, mostly the inciting incident that sets the story mostly happens around 20%, so you can't expect to know everything that is going to happen and understand just by reading the first three chapters of a novel that possibly can have 100+ chapters and more than 100,000 words. I hope this helps you with future reviews and helps other new writers, and does not discourage them in your journey to becoming an Editor.
