KingVinito starting yours too...will take some time but expect collections and comments in the meantime.
and please, do the same for me...don't just say you liked or didn't like it...you should mention where I can change. Give me constructive instructions...thanks. My book is at the top of the thread.
Looking for Beta Readers
I would love to beta read your book where I'll give some comments, feedbacks, and even review. But if you don't mind an Action Sci-Fi with lots of action scene, you would love this book.
Title: Scorching Black Vulture
Synopsis:
The scorching virus outbreak plunged the Galean planet's ecosystems into lunacies. No antidotes are effective in countering this tiny virus, as it also infected the advanced technologies.
The entire Galean organization, including Minerva, has to combat this virus on any occasion by creating the Authonoid, which stands for Authorized Android.
They aimed to combat the scorching virus while heavily immunized them. Unfortunately, this virus was constantly developing each time.
And to make matters worse, some elites were exploiting this virus by profiting it to fulfilling their political agendas.
Tsuyuki is the Minerva's Authonoid, and with his friends, he has to fight against the continuous outbreak, political unrest, and many unforeseen threats.

MansonFD7 Hello there! Beta readers are always welcome. You can find my book's link in the original post.
MansonFD7 you have 67 chapters!!! Why haven't you locked them? Did you not apply for a contract?
NewbieJimjim whilr i wouldn't consider this purely revenge, since they're only being nrgative, I will as well
ToufiqUlAlam hey! I just wanted to say that you can stop reading mine if you would like. I can't continue reading yours because, to put it bluntly, its not that interesting to me. I'll write a review for it so far, but U'm not doing any more comments. I'll replicate the same review you do for mine. Thanks
The contract was slightlt shady imo. In which I don't want if Webnovel took over my ownership of my book.
MansonFD7 It is indeed shady, what you give to them was permanent licensing agreement, not transfer of copyright. it is still possible to terminate the contract and revoke the license, but the editor is only the one who decide whether to terminate or not
MansonFD7 hello!! Review is done. please, review mine if you have time. I will continue reading yours but it will take some time.
MansonFD7 I still am trying to get a contract...as a writer, money is indeed important and I need at least one commercial success to brag about myself to other publishers...lol...but how did they contact you about the contract? Is there a requirement that you need to fulfill to get their attention?
ToufiqUlAlam author or my stature...? I didn't ssy it was a terrible book, because its not. You have high school level writing skills (thats a good thing!) Which is unique from other writers. I simply didn't think we were making such specific critiques. I tend to allow my professor or signed authors read and critique my book, since they have some knowledge backing their skills. But thank you for your time ig?
MansonFD7 Did a review of your work...if you have time please remember to do mine!!! 
KingVinito still reading...did some constructive commenting. Also reviewed your book!! Please, do mine. I will keep reading and commenting to help you with my ideas. thank you!
ToufiqUlAlam you have two method, first is the contract invitation send by the webnovel editor when they are interest in your book, second is you can personally send the contract application. the second approach is quite difficult since it is depend on their discretion whether they want your book or not. but the contract invitation is 100% guarantee contract if you apply
- Edited
xish101 1. win the wpc contest if you participate 2. just hope it would come some day since it depend on the book performance and editor discretion
noted that ML fantasy is quite hard to get contract invitation than FL genre
NewbieJimjim that's quite uncertain...is there a way to attract their attention?
- Edited
NewbieJimjim aw!! dawmn!!! that's the last nail on the coffin of my hope.
I will just keep writing and finish my projects and then go somewhere else if webnovel will be like this..
UelUel right? I mean you need inspiration! I can't just begin something where my mind is not! Creativity is not like that. This is why Naruto, Bleach, and One-punch Man got attractions yet dime a dozen isekai and reincarnation or resurrection stories are hard to put my mind to. They all look the same.
My original story was
"Strange Tale of a Little Mystic" but I then entered the WPC but didn't know how to promote it at that time. So my litrpg did not get any attention. However, the ones that ranked, were not too awesome either.
Rarajasmin_jazz okay!! you are on...but i loved your work..and still reading it...
ToufiqUlAlam it's an amazing story.
Rarajasmin_jazz Review done. Why? I couldn't wait to express my joy after reading the initial chapters...I am going to keep reading...I am in LOVE with your writing style... I will keep reading your story...
Rarajasmin_jazz please revise chapter 4 and try and find a way to lower the number of times 'enigma/tic' words have been used. At first, I did not notice its presence..but in chapter 4, i was FEELING it...ooo...it is SO there!!
Rarajasmin_jazz liked the story till 4th chapter. However, if you overly use poetic language...it will dry out at some point and you will see redundancy in your writing. sadly chapter 4 felt like you have hit a wall.
So, keep a balance between poetic and normal language. This will help the reader navigate the story better.
Rarajasmin_jazz i read Synced. And felt that the author was very poetic at first. However, there was something that i told the author as well.
Using the poetic style throughout a chapter will make the narrative gradually less attractive.
The narrative style you have is an amazing weapon in your arsenal. But you cannot show this amazing and effective weapon to your reader too often. if you do so, readers will get accustomed to this style and then will expect something better. However, if you do not deliver what they expect, you may lose your readers fast.
The first 3 chapters will definitely bring in readers. But then come back to the colloquial English...not the heavy flowery type. Use that style only when you are describing intense emotion...
Frankly, I envy you. What I can't and perhaps will never be able to do, you do it so effortlessly. If you want to revise, this is the time. If you expand the story even more without revision, you will not be able to come back later.
I hope I did not hurt your feelings. I opened this thread so we can help each other improve.
I can't hire editors as they are very expensive. So, let us help each other and edit our work for better commercial performance...
Rarajasmin_jazz thanks.
Dungeon_Warrior are you sure you understand the post? Beta-reader means you have to read through all the chapters slowly and let me know where I can improve...you can be harsh and honest...I really wish to improve.
You can get a quick review in other threads...I can assure you that.
Dungeon_Warrior your book looks interesting..
Dungeon_Warrior yes...doing..don't worry.
Dungeon_Warrior done. but remember please, if you want to be here you must be ready to read the whole book and then give an honest review..not just one-line reviews. We read, spend our time, and use our brain to analyze the work of others and try to help them to improve. We expect the same from you after all, you want to be a BETA Reader!!
We will increase your reader's data and valid reading data, so help us improve ours. thanks.
By the way, if you read we will also increase your reader count data which is very important. This will help you understand how you can get more reader and retain them in the long run. That's the goal, right?

ToufiqUlAlam I must say that even though Webnovel sometime seem unfair, but it is one of the platforms that has the largest reader. Especially in the fantasy and action genre. The attraction will be based on the performance of the book; if it looks like most reader is not interested, then they will just ignore the book.
Rarajasmin_jazz Jazz, my dear, I will!!!
Rarajasmin_jazz Hi!!!
Here is a link I thought would give you something to think about:
https://discover.hubpages.com/literature/Try-your-hand-at-verbose-style-of-writing
NewbieJimjim thanks a lot!! well, it all depends on luck. i have seen some very successful books with weirdAss names like Really LONG...translated type work or something...
If they are that successful, then it really puts a lot of uncertainty into the hearts of writers like me...
- Edited
I can hardly keep track of the love My readers are showing.
I will try to give credit where I can. But Please, keep in mind, that you were the first to take an interest in my work...you will always be remembered.

And so many more!! I cannot track all of you…But you are and will be remembered as long as my work lives.
Done.
I think it'll be better if you do lots of rephrasing with some rephrasing website like Quillbot/ProWritingAid to make some sentence felt better to read.
In which means, it should be slightly complex, but easy to understand.
And with some advices I've give on every paragraphs' comments, hope this'll help.
Or maybe, we could beta read each other for more, or even as crazy as discussing our book in our discord's DM.
MansonFD7 we can!! I was thinking of creating a BETA readers' channel but I am not good with discord!! I will definitely link up!!! thanks!!! I will look into the websites you told me to look into...
MansonFD7 Quillbot/ProWritingAid
I use grammerly but I cannot get access to the Premium and if these two also wants me to get premium, I cannot do that.
I don't have credit card.... hehehe...otherwise, I would access the hell out of all sorts of readymade help out there!!! But hopefully someday, I will!!
Things may change...that's why I am still keeping the book as paused.
ToufiqUlAlam u are loved
ToufiqUlAlam we can chat more on discord here is mine #geegee95
