Review Detail of jaymanifesto in YAKUZA: The Beginning of Deaths

Pros: First and foremost, I like how I can visualize the scenario of a Yakuza scene in each chapter. The summary is also written well. I like how fast-paced the story is from the beginning, especially with the aggressive dialogue and screaming. The setting of the story in 1989 Japan is very emphasized, and this may not be a part of your story, but I get a lot of “urban life” aesthetics from it. Now for the cons….the summary, though written well and clear, is generic. For me to appreciate a story, I want my eyes to widen in anticipation for what happens….you know, like a mystery. But so far so good, this novel isn’t bad or anything. It’s a refreshing take on the real-life representation of Yakuzas and Japanese gangs. Really cool concept. Personally, I give this an 8/10. Your novel has potential, although personally, I wish it stood out more. This action-packed novel is anyways good for readers who are fond of exploring Japanese culture. Again, this is all opinion. Take this with a grain of salt, for I am not a seasoned writer :P Wishing you the best of luck with your writing journey!
