    I'd like to thank you for inviting me to the adventure of witnessing another realm of writing. A different style, I would never have picked up on my own.

    Here as customary is the review as well:

    I give 5 stars for everything except character design.
    The content seems great, well laid and thought out. What am I rooting for who am I rooting for is the questions that pop into my mind.

    I logically understand the quality of the text, but emotionally I can't get invested. It might just well be the style isn't fit for me.

    Maybe I'd like in this instance a few chapters with more character. More action around the characters and how they react to the world. See what makes them tick.

    Overall I thank you for being able to see another side of writing that I don't usually visit. It has been a great learning experience. I wish you all the luck in the world.

      I'm ready with my review. I read up till chap 11, to start and I'll finish in the evening.

      As usual I'll leave me review here too:

      Having read 11 chapters I feel comfortable enough dropping this review.

      The fourth chapter onwards is where I get more interested in the novel. The first few chapters weren't bad, but didn't grab me. The second chapter's meeting was a good idea, but the execution felt a bit lacking. I wanted to be invested in the conspiracy, a secret organization if you will, the excitement didn't hit.
      And I love conspiracies. I really do.

      From chapter four onwards I enjoyed the story. It found its element, with Fei relearning how to be alive again. The characters are good, even if some fall on stereotypical character types.
      They are stereotypes for a reason.

      A personal nitpick I have is the use of Country A and so on. When the story has a focus on the countries and languages and we go by letters it doesn't really make me interested. When you still call it the language Chinese at some point it just frustrates me.

      Again I'll point out that the use of alphabetical countries is a personal nitpick of mine and many might not mind.

      Thank you for writing this novel. I'll take my time and catch up to the latest chapter. Happy writing!

      That sounds great.

      I'll have to sleep first since it already is close to 2am. I'll do it second thing in the morning after writing my next chapter.

      • shadowdrake27 and now that you said my past and present tense was all messed up.

        Hoooooly macaroni. How did I not notice? This is why you need proofreading. I'll be much more aware of that in the future and will have to go to fix that now.

          I Just managed to notice and answer to it. It had great feedback and I will act on it.

          As I mentioned in the review itself I don't think I have enough knowledge to give a proper critique. I'll keep reading your content and will holler up if I notice something off, or even better, something spot on.

            Here we go finished my review on your book.
            I'll link it under here as well:

            The First chapter had me ready to be disappointed. Come second chapter I had a constant smile crossing my face.

            I was mad at Tyler for being a wimp at the start, but he did jump into this mysterious world. I'll give him props for that.
            Dani is just right up my alley. Smarts and an endless fountain of confidence.

            The writing is neat. At this point, my expertise is lacking and I can't give a better critique. The realm of this writing exceeds my own.

            In short love it and it makes a fine addition to my collection!

              Thank you to start it out.
              I'll leave here the review I had of your novel as well:

              First of all, I can feel the passion. The wish to get better. I appreciate that.

              The only way to get better is to write more. Write write, endlessly write.

              The critique I'll give is I don't have a chance to breathe. The train is moving forward at the speed of light and I have difficulty keeping up. I read chapters 1-5 and finally chapter 24 to see the improvement. The latest chapter (24) is the best by far. The characters were talking and we focused on one moment for a longer time.

              If you keep your work ethic up and improve, great works will follow!
              Best of luck!
              No.
              Best effort forward. A person makes his own luck.
